OPA To Add Foods To Rationed List
Washington, (INS)Butter, cooking fats and oils and most types of cheese will probably be rationed along with meat about April 1, OPA sources disclosed yesterday.
While no decision has yet been made as to the exact amounts of the new commodities that will be allowed consumers, the
meat ration has been tentatively set at 134 pounds per person each week.
OPA officials said that meat and the other types of commodities will probably be placed under the new point rationing program at the same time. Meat purchases will be made with the use of the red coupons in ration book No. 2. Must Less Butter
It was learned that the number of points assigned for the ration of butter will be high to encourage the use of oleomargarine and butter substitutes and lessen the heavy drain on butter supplies which have been short in recent months.
The rationing of cooking fats and oils will include vegetable shortenings and lard. Nearly all types of cheese, except only a few, including pot cheeze and baker's cheese, will be placed under the new controls.
There were reports in some sources that meat and cheese would be lumped together under the tentative ration of 1 3-4 pounds but this was denied by high OPA officials.
Won't Require Declaration
Declarations of consumer supplies of the new commodities most likely will not be required when they are placed on the ration list. OPA sources said this step was not believed necessary since most of the products affected deteriorate rapidly and could not be hoarded very well. Neither will there be an advance freeze on the sales of these products.
As in the case of canned and processed foods now under point rationing, the allotment for meat, cheese, butter and other commodities will be the same for each person. Officials said that poultry and fish will not be included in with the meat ration.
According to the present program it is not planned to require consumers eating in restaurants to give up coupons for meat and other products, but purchases by the eating houses will be restricted through ration allotments.
Specific dollar and cent ceiling prices on pork will be issued later this week, effective April 1, and maximums will follow on other meats.
OPA officials said that they expected the meat rationing program would strike a blow at the black markets which have been spreading throughout the country.

House Considers Taxation Plans
Washington, (INS) — With two plans for pay-as-you-go taxation now before it, the house ways and means committee is laboring to break a deadlock of members over the course it will chart to keep war funds flowing into the treasury and bring taxpayers up to date.
One committee group contends that unless something like the Rumil plan is adopted, taxpayers cannot get out of debt for taxes, and may get even further behind.
The Ruml plan was presented almost a year ago by Beardsley Ruml, chairman of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, but is strongly opposed by the Treasury, which favors collection of a pay-as-you-go tax at the source rather than Ruml's plan for quarterly collection and abatement of back taxes.
Informed quarters indicated that there is no chance of success for a modified version of the Ruml plan introduced yesterday by Rep. Carlson (R) Kan. Carlson would combine the Ruml plan with the Treasury's program for collection at the source.

Japan's Losses Near 125,000
Washington, (INS)—Japan's fruitless attempts to capture and hold vital points at New Guinea and the Solomons have cost the enemy between 100,000 and 125,000 fighting men and 125 ships, survey based on battle reports disclosed.
These losses in troops, naval personnel and air men have occurred since mid-summer of last year when Gen. Douglas MacArthur's forces began their drive to retake Northern New Guinea and the marines launched their successful invasion of Guadalcanal.
Under-secretary of War Robert Patterson today revealed that severe fighting has broken out in China between the Japanese and the Chinese with heavy casualties on both sides.
Patterson made this announcement as he stated that the "brilliant victory" of Gen. Douglas MacArthur over a Japanese invasion fleet had upset the enemies' plan in the south-west Pacific.
Burial Services Held Here This Afternoon For Miss E. B. Simons
Private funeral services at the Ramsey funeral home were conducted this afternoon for Miss Etoile Bessie Simons, a graduate of the University in 1895, who died Tuesday evening at the home of her brother, W. C. Simons, in Lawrence.
After her graduation from the University she taught in the Lawrence high school and later obtained a doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Chicago. She taught in Indianapolis and at Western College, Oxford, Ohio for a number of years, and then became personnel manager for the Fred Harvey dining system, which position she held until retirement several years ago.
Dancing and card games entertained University women yesterday at the first WSGA tea this year. The tea was given in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. Gamma Phi Beta sorority women served as hostesses.
This year it was necessary to discontinue the regular teas, because no room was available. If enough interest is shown in the teas, an effort will be made to have them again, Marybelle Long, WSGA social chairman, said.
