The arrival of the famous French general was expected t "bring about a cessation of the scattered resistance," the allied supreme commander said. , (A United Press correspondent whose copy was made available to other news I services through a pool arrangement, reported that Gen. Eisenhower said he wished to emphasize that Gen. Giraud will be "responsible" for military and civil affairs in the French North African area. ("He and i I understand each other perfectly , Gen. Eisenhower said . in describing his relations with the French leader). - - Giraud has long been regarded as one of the most able French military leaders and an unrivaled expert on North Africa. At the time, he escaped from Germany last April, Gen. Charles DeGaulle, leader of the Fighting French forces, attested to his standing by declaring that he would be will ing to serve under Giraud. . After Giraud escaped, the Ger mans off ered a reward of 100,000 Lmarks or about $40,000 for his recapture. His 'whereabouts had not been disclosed since last sum mer, when he was still in France, until he was reported Sunday to be in North Africa.

Previously the quota had been set at 80 per cent. ... ,. OPA also further tightened the meat restriction order by elimi nating a provision under , which slaughterers were permitted to exceed beef quotas by 10 per cent in any quarter and take the amount out of quotas for the next quarter. j - Left unchanged were other meat qovtaa for the final qaar- i ter of 1942. They are: TeaL lot per cent; Iamb and mutton, S; per cent; pork, IS per cent. The' order did not affect meat nimikS provided undertbav. vouua- lary share-the-meat program. Un der this program, an adult is asked to limit himself to 2 pounds of meat a week, with lower limits for children. So-called variety meats, which include such items as liver, kidneys, hearts and tripe, and poultry and fish are not on the restricted list. The reduction of the beef quo tas, however,: is expected to neces sitate a still further shift from beef to other meats. The meat quotas apply to pack ers who slaughter more than 500, 000 pounds of controlled meat in a quarter. Smaller slaughterers are restricted in their deliveries to their deliveries of each kind of meat in the corresponding quarter of 1941. I i Two Countries Break! With France By tho!
