Two Pounds of Steak
Per Week Top Meat
Diet Under Rationing
By IRVING PERLMETER
WASHINGTON. March 24 tVP)
Disclosure t.day of coupon val
ues of meat showed that Amen
cans will be allowed, Marling
Monday, to buy maximum of
two pounds of popular-type
steak of 3 1B pounds of ham
burger per person per week un
der rationing.
Actually, most people will buy
less because they will want to
use some of the same coupons
for butter, lard, cheese or can-
ned fish. They will have 16
points to spend per week at an
average coupon cost of 6 points
per pound for the whole group
of foods.
A typical budget probably
will be, per person, two pounds
of meat plus perhaps quarter
pound of butter and a quarter
pound of cheese. A whole
pound of butter calls for eight
points.
Liberal Rationing
OPA Hid the " rations are rel
atively more liberal than the ra
tions for processed foods," but
the Impact will vary sharply in
each family. Families that have
liked and been able to afford a
lot of meat may find their ra
tions only a fraction of their
customary purchases, but in
some of the poorest classes, the
ration may exceed what families
may be able to afford.
Compared with such things
gasoline and shoe rationing, the
new program will affect the lives
of Americans more uian any oili
er type of rationing undertaken
so far. By Monday, about me
only Important unrationed foods
in grocery stores will be milk
bread, cereals, preserves and
fresh fruits and vegetables.
Evans Supply
On the brighter side, the plan
Is designed to ven up meat sup
pliesat least after tt has been
in operation a couple of weeks
and will help loose localities
which have had the most acute
meat shortages.
' The government said the new
rationing is necessary to divide
up curtailed civilian supply be
cause of heavy diversion ot tnese
foods to the armed services and
land-leas. Bom packers and
atock men have blamed the
shortage on government interfer
ence with normal producing and
marketing procedures.
Restaurant Rationing
Restaurants and other public
eating places continue without
customer coupons, but their over
all food supplies are rationed
and officials are considering le
gal limitations on portions. OPA
officials hinted that people could
not expect to supplement thsir
home meat rations very much by
dining out.
Only farmers are exempt, be
ing authorized to eat as much
as they desire of their own pro
due, although they must collect
coupons If they sell any of it to
outside consumers. Farmers al
so hope that rationing will re
strain wholesale and retail meat
prices sufficiently to obviate an
OPA proposal for restricting the
prices of live meat animals.
Point Values Unveiled
The new point values were un
veiled to the press by OPA with
charts, tables, volumes of explan
atory matter and quiz sessions.
The new plan goes into effect
at 12:01 a. m. Monday.
Red Stamps Used
During the first week, each
person must use the red A stamps
in his number 2 ration book (the
on in which blue stamps are
used for canned goods) to buy
meat except poultry and game,
edible fats and oils, except olive
oil and salad dressings, cheese
except soft and perishable
cheeses such as cottage cheese,
and canned fish or shell fish.
Meats are rationed whether
fresh, frozen, cooked or cured.
The following week, any left
over A's plus the red B stamps
may be used, and in the third
week the left over A's and B's
plus the red C stamps. The same
carryover Is provided in the
fourth week, but all four weeks'
stamps expire together on April
30. Procedure after that remains
to be determined.
Carry Over Purpose
At least during April, this will
cause great variance in weekly
purchases, since some people
may want to save some of their
early-month coupons for a
splurge in the final week ot Ap
ril. However, the real purpose of
this system of accumulating cou
pons for the first month is to
Rive a fair break to people in
some communities where moat
or butter may be especially
scarce In the early part of the
month.
The red A coupons will give
each person even babies 16
points, which Is the total of the

8, S, 2 and 1 point stamps printed
in red and marked A.
Choic Oifered
One may then buy meat or
butter or cheese or anything el!e
on the list according to its point
value as he desires. For in
stance, vegetarians may spend
all their points on butter and
cheese while some people may
buy practically nothing but
meat. The system is virtually
the same as the point values for
canned goods.
The average value of all
meats, lumping everything from
pigs feet to porterhouse, is 6
points per pound, but the most
popular types average 8 points.
Typical 8 point cuts are all beef
steak (except boned sirloin
which is 9), veal loin chops, cen
ter pork chops, loin lamb chops,
fresh or cured sliced ham, and
either sliced or stab bacon with
the rind off. Roasts are mostly
6 to 8 points per pound.
Cheap Meat Values
Hamburger is only 5 points
per pound, but a catch here is
that OPA's definition of ham
burger is something made ex
clusively of scraps and other
waste meats. If one wants better
ground meat, he will have to buy
it in its original form, pay the
regular point value, and then
have it ground to order.
Other cheaper meats include
stew meat at between 4 and 6
points per pound, spare ribs at 4,
beef brains at 3, beef liver at 6
or pork liver at 5, and ready to
eat pigs feet at 2 points per
pound.
High Point Items
Some high-point items include:
Boneless loin chops, 10; pork ten
derloin, 10; dried beef, 12; Cana
dian bacon, 11; whole or half of
ready-to-eat ham at 9 or 11 if
sliced.
All butter, and rationed types
of cheese are 8 points per pound;
lard, shortening and margarine.
S; salad cooking oils, 6 points per
pound or pint; all canned fish, 7
points per pound (figuring cgn's
total cost according to label
weight of contents.)
Ready-to-eat Values
Generally, ready-to-eat meats,
especially delicatessen items,
were given point values 2 points
per pound if unsliced (or 3 points
per pound if sliced) higher than
the couDon cost of the raw meat,
This differential was selected to
take care of shrinkage and waste
in processing. Thus, to find the
point value of corned beef, as an
example, a butcher will have to
figure out what cut of meat it
was made out of, the point value
of the meat in its original form,
and add 2 or 3 points per pound,
depending on whether the finish
ed products is sold whole or
sliced. A whole or half fresh
ham, for instance, will cost 7
points per pound, while the same
ham in ready-to-eat condition
costs 9 points. Ready-to-eat sliced
ham is a slight exception from
the rule, and costs 11 points per
pound.
"Normal Trim"
The government ordered that
all meats should be sold on a
'normal trim" basis. That meant
that butchers are supposed to cut
off a "normal" amount of bone
and fat before weighing. How
ever, consumers will have to do
their own policing of the order,
and if dissatisfied can do nothing
out argue with the butcher or
take their trade elsewhere.
A few standard types of meat
failed to appear 6n the point
chart, notably rolled rib beef
roast. For any such cuts, the
point value will have to be de
termined by weighing up the
original cut after which the
butcher can trim and roll or oth
erwise prepare the desired cut.
Accordingly, butcher shops will
not be able to have such things
as rolled rib roasts on display
and will have to make them up
on oraer.
"Per Pound" Basis
All point values in this pro
gram are on a "per pound" ba
sis, even with regard to canned
meats or fish, and fractional
weights will be figured to the
nearest full coupon point ex
cept that at least one point must
be charged for even the smallest
purchase. Thus a steak which
costs 8 points per pound may be
bought in a half-pound portion

at 4 points, or in a pound and
three-ounce size at 10 points.
In this figuring, a fraction
amounting to less than 1 point is
disregarded, while a fraction of
i or more costs a whole point.
Thus 7 ounces of pork sausage
(7 points per pound) will cost 3
points, while 8 ounces will cost
4 points.
-"Coupon Change"
Because of the difficulty In
cutting meat to exact weights,
and thus to exact coupon totals,
OPA authorized butchers to give
"coupon change," using 1-point
coupons for this purpose. For
instance, if a person bought 6
points worth of meat and had
only an 8-point coupon to pay
for it, the butcher can give him
back two 1-point stamps. This
is a departure from the point sys
tem on canned goods, where no
change is permitted.
Retailers and wholesalers will
use in their purchases an entire
ly different set of point values,
which will be much lower to
compensate them for shrinkage
and waste. Those reduced point
values also will be available to
any householders who have the
money and coupons to buy bulk
quantities, but officials said that
they probably would gain little
or nothing by it, because of
shrinkage and wastes involved
in such transactions.

Automatic Parachute Fails
To Open, Inventor Killed
SEATTLE, March 24 VP) "He
had too much confidence," Mrs.
R. Dudley Pope said yesterday,
struggling to quiet her emotions
as she discussed the death Satur
day of her husband, civilian em
ploye of the Sand Point naval
air station -vho was killed when
his experimental parachute fail
ed to open on a 10,000 foot drop.
"He had his heart and soul
wrapped up In that parachute,"
she said.
"I had a feeling it wasn't go
ing to work as he came closer
and closer to the ground."
The 'chute puffed out about 79
feet from the ground, onlookers
said. A standard 'chute, carried
for emergency, likewise failed to
open.
Attached to a dummy of his
weight, the device had made 83
successful descents before Pope
decided to make a personal test
Saturday.
Pope's Invention was designed
to open automatically at alti
tudes of 1500 to 2000 feet and
thereby save the lives of fliers
seriously wounded, or uncon
conscious when thrown from
planes in battle.
Mrs. Pope was standing about
1000 feet away when her hus
band plummeted into the
ground.
