I ... jg By The Associated Press Meat hungry Americans are eating into their future supplies oi two prime suosmutes. Unable to get the meat they want, civilians are turning to eggs and milk in large quanti ties. As a result, a survey disclosed today, the government is not meeting with as much success as a year ago in securing a re serve of butter, cheese, evapo rated milk and eggs for use next fall and winter when out put normally drops below re quirements. Shortages Foreseen Serious shortages in these foods may develon. On an overall ' basis, present supply prospects indicate that the quality of the civilian diet will slump to its lowest point of the war in August By then it probablv will be lamely a vegetable diet. For the meat situation is likely to be even worse. ljiKe eggs and milk, sup plies of food fats and oils will be somewhat smaller. The gro cery store will offer little more tnan a good victory garden. Europe faces darker Dros. pects. Maj. Gen. Warren F. Draper, chief of the public health branch of supreme allied headquarters, said "there isn't enough food in sight to keep some peopie oi Europe irorn go ing hungry." - - Bacon, Fats Cut Britain's bacon and fat ra. Hons soon will be cut but sugar and cheese allotments will be maintained at about the same level for the remainder of the year. Minister of Food J. J. Llewellin announced the bacon ration ' will be reduced frnm four to three ounces a week be ginning May 27. Domestic ra tions-of oils and fats, he said, will be pared one ounce a week during the coming months. In this country butter, cheese and evaporated milk reserves are considerably smaller than a year ago despite the fact that milk production during the first four months of 1945 was 2.29 per cent larger than in the same period last year. Dairy experts said civilians are consuming well over half me nation s milk output in the form of fluid milk and cream. Consumption thus far this year has been at the rate of some 430 pounds per capita compared with an average of 340 pounds u in,: or, . m nic xaoi-oa period. 400 Per Year Eggs are being eaten at the rate of 400 a year with the pros pective supply sufficient to pro vide an average of 368.
