Drawn poultry, which is just - about ready to go : Into the pan when the butcher sells it, comes down one cent a pound under an order taking effect on processors October 12- The slightly less ex pensive dressed poultry head and feet on goes up a cent. The butter order, in effect Sunday, Oct. 2, reflects dwindling .production which OPA said is 10 per cent down this month compar . d with September, 1942; the point increase, frankly - an effort to cut consumption, is four points per' pound. There had been two previous rises of two points each since butter rationing began at 8 points, just half the new value Point ; values of most : popular ruts of meat are little changed in the new meat and fat table, which follows a processed food revision last night showing sharp rises' in point value of numerous canned fruits. Standard beef, veal and lamb cuts are unchanged, but eight standard pork cuts, including cen ter "chops and loin roasts, go up one to two points. A number of lamb and veal variety meats go down a point, and 18 cuts, mainly such variety items as brains and kidneys, are made point-free. , An increase of one point is ap plied to several cheeses including cream, cream cottage, Swiss, Bleu, and Camembert. ' Margarine is unchanged at 4 points. . ' . Heavier government demands are cited as reasons for the pork increase which boost center chops and loin center roasts two points to 11 a pound, and tenderloin one point to 11. Spareribs rise from two to four. The poultry price order gives housewives a 3 cent reduction in the ceiling price of quick-f rozr en eviscerated" poultry, the re- - gular packaged type sold by froz en foods dealers. The poultry charges are passed on to consum- - ers by the fixed-markup provision f the retail grocery regulations. Kosher poultry prices remain un changed.

MVASION - The fanciest"; sorts of . fried (or be a little cheaper next month, but ceiling prices on chickens and Canned Fruit Points Go Up Next Sunday ; WASHINGTON, Sept 28-W)- Sharp point-value Increases, rang ing from eight to 11 points each, were ' announced tonight for six types of canned fruits, in the new table i ; of processed food point values issued by the office of price administration to take ef fect next Sunday. Point reductions were ordered. however, for "the two most popu lar types of canned corn and for green or wax beans. - . In addition, dried peas and len tils were made ration-free, upon recommendation of the war food administration. The new crop of these items is the greatest on rec ord, :WFA reported. The point value increases were restricted, with two comparative ly minor ' exceptions, to canned fruits. ; Shortages of supply and increasing military needs account for the action, OPA said. Red sour cherries, in the num ber two can,, were jumped from 14 points a. can to 25. All other types of cherries, except mara chino, were increased nine points to a new value of 23. . Canned grapefruit went up eight points to a 'new value of 18. For the number, two and one- half can, apricot point values were advanced nine points to a new value of 36; figs,. eight points to 21; and plums pr prunes eight points to 15. The decreases in canned . corn cover all varieties except corn on the cob. Vacuum-packed whole kernel corn in the 12" ounce can dropped from 14 points to 10, and other. types from 16 points to 13 for the number two size can. Green or wax beans declined from 10 points to eight for each num ber two can. The only increases in- canned vegetables affected asparagus, which was hiked four points to a total of 18 for a number two can; and mushrooms, advanced from three to five points for a four- ounce can. The point values of a quart of grape juice was advanced from three to six. This was significant, OPA said, "because it reflects the diversion of a large part of the nation's grape production into the i making of jams, jellies and pre serves." OPA observed : that consumers I would experience a net gain out of the point changes "because the items reduced in point value sell greater quaitities than the items being raised." Removal of dried peas and len tils from rationing was accom plished by dropping their value from one -point a pound to zero; by this technique OPA could re store the items to the ration list at short notice. Country shippers were instructed to continue to send monthly reports on lentils and ; dried peas to OPA. So that we may do our share in speeding the in vasion, by the selling of Invasion Bonds, we, the management and employees; of Brcwn's; announce the closing of our store for two days, Thursday, Sept. 30th and 'Friday, Oct 1st. .

As typical examples of .proba ble prices the OPA said retail ; ceilings- -would ; range from 4-5 cents a pound in October to' 5.5 cents a pound next June in such cities as New York, Los Angeles and Boston. However OPA; said the large crop available this year will -,: probably r result i fa ; retail prices considerably - below the ceiling. Maine and Idaho price ceilings for 1943 crop, .US No. 1 i grade. sacked and loaded on carrier, per 100 pounds, range from $2.15 in October, 1943, to $2.75 in June, 1944. The monthly increases pro vide ; for . absorption of storage charges. Minnesota October-June prices are ten cents lower per 100 pounds a month.

Mitchell, director of the industrial personnel division of the army services forces,, made the statement In addressing a war department conference of Indus try, labor and newspaper leaders i - - - . on manpower. "There are two ways of mak ing manpower ends , meet," Mit chell said. "One is to bring in more labor; the other is to reduce our need for labor by increasing the productivity of the labor we have. Without a natoinal service act we ara epproaching the lim its of the first possibility, "We must fully explore the second possibility. A ten per cent increase in - labor efficiency is equivalent to a ten per cent. in crease in your labor force only it is more effective, more lasting and under present conditions. more practical." Earlier Lt. CaL William S. Gaud, jr., of the army general staff told the group that this year's military lend-lease goals of $5,400,000,000 worth of goods probably will not be reached and deficits must be made up next year. Gaud said that shortage - of shipping capacity has been the major factor in the deficit He gave a possbile inkling of the di rection of projected invasion campaigns by declaring that 10 per cent of next year's military lend - lease was allocated to such countries as France, .
