VV iLl San Francisco, April 21 (U.R) San Francisco restauran teurs were highly embarrassed to admit it, but they confessed to night that they had no idea what they could feed the delegates to the United Nations conference on International organization. Like the average housewife, the hotels did not have enough points to take care of company and said the Office of Price Ad ministration contended it could not issue additional points with out revision present regulations. Point-free foods, such as poul try, could not be substituted, hotel spokesmen said, because they could not be found on the market at OPA ceiling prices. They claimed the unrationed foods were disappearing into a "vigorous black market." The Hotel Employers Associa tion of San Francisco made a public apology to the conference delegates for the' lack of "pala table foods" on their menus. "We feel the public is entitled to an explanation in order that the embarrassment which the city will suffer during the con ference will not come as a com plete shock," the association said in a newspaper advertisement. "We regret that such a situation exists in a city noted for its fine hotels, but we have exhausted all of our resources to meet the present crisis." In addition to the advertise ment, the members of the asso ciation appealed to their con gressmen. The National OPA Headquar ters, which promised to send an Investigator to look into the luituation, said it would make sure that public eating places in San Francisco would have am ple food for the Uncio. It did not announce, however, whether ex tra points would be issued or additional foods supplies shipped to San Francisco, KILLED IN ACTION Prospect, April 21. Pfc.
