HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON
APPEAL MADE
I N WEST COAST
MEAT SHORTAGE
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18
ff) The Pacific coast's meat
shortage was brought urgently to
the ttentlon of the federal gov
ernment today by restaurants
feeding 30,000 defense workers
In a shipyard boom town. The
restaurants threatened to close
because they cannot get meat.
The town is Richmond, San
Francisco bay site of four of
Henry J. Kaiser's record-break
ing shipyards.
Might As Well CJose
Mrs. Mattie Chandler, mayor
of Richmond, asking the govern
ment to boost OPA meat quotas
and take other actions to supply
meat, said:
'The restaurants say if they
can't get meat, they might as
well close, because these war
workers are big meat eaters.
Population Boom
Mayor Chandler said that nine
butcher shops in Richmond al
ready had closed because of lack
of supplies.
She declared that OPA quotas
provided normal meat supplies
for 15,000 persons when actually
Richmond has a population of
100,000, a 73,000 increase in a
year because of war industry
activities.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18 (ff)
Slaughterhouse workers agreed
unanimously Tuesday to go back
to work when an emergency
committee assured them their
wage arbitration would be
speeded up.
Milton Maxwell, international
vice president of the Amalgamat
ed Meat Cutters and Butcher
workmen, said work would be
resumed at 10 closed packing
plants Wednesday morning.
Lack of meat had closed vir
tually every meat market in San
Francisco and most of the bay
area communities. Maxwell
said it would be Thursday at the
earliest before pork and lamb
could be supplied to the shops,
and Friday before beef deliveries
could be made. ,

The office of war Information
recorded a Tokyo broadcast
Tuesday in which the Japanese
people were told the American
navy's "mlsoruuln defeat Is kept
in the dark" by Monday's Wash
ington communique.
Curiously, this Japanese-
language broadcast tor home
consumption was followed up
by truiupetiiigs beamed to the
United Slates about the "hon
esty" of Japanese communiques.
English language broadcasts,
said nothing about the U. S.
navy communique, but repeat

ated claims of virtual destruc
