Washington, April 20 (U.PJ
The Office of Price Administra
tion is preparing ration book
number five for printers.
An OPA spokesman said to
day that present ration books
can last through September and
possibly October.
In general design, book five
probably will be similar to num
ber four. It was said.
It is believed that the entire
food program will be shifted to
the new book when number four
runs out. OPA has rejected the
Idea of going back to book three
when book four expires because
It was decided this move might
lead to confusion.
Tentative plans for a fifth
book are based on official esti
mates that meat, dairy products,
canned fruits and vegetables
and sugar will continue to be
short after V-E Day. -
