week to resign if n election
was forced at this time. Labor
is the second most numerous
party.
Churchill is expected to lead
a new "care taker" government
into commons when it reassem
bles Tuesday.
The British Press association
predicted that the new govern
ment would include such men
as Sir John Anderson, Sir James
Grigg, Sir Andrew Cuncan and
Iiord Leathers, who were pre
war business jnen without po
litical backgrounds. All were
called into the government to
do special jobs.
The full list is not expected

cancies left by the departure of
labor and liberal ministers.
Churchill, who led Britain
from its most desperate days of
the war- to the unconditional
surrender of Germany, gave
King George his resignation at

as it might apply to investigation

Want Unanimity
The Russians, on the other
hand, appeared determined that
the voting procedure should re
quire unanimity among the Big
Five on all substantive actions
taken by the security council.
. The small powers framed
their questions in terms of their
present determination to break
down the veto as it concerns
council action designed to obtain
"peaceful" settlement of inter
national friction. In this con
nection, they asked specifically
whether abstention from voting
by any of the Big Five would
have the same effect as a nega

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. Thus
egg supplies . moving into cold
storage for consumption next
winter are materially smaller

than a year ago. During the last
half of the year consumers
probably will have to drop far
below the 366-egg rate.
' Officials expect the meat sup
ply to improve slightly in Sep
tember as fall marketings of
grass-fed cattle begin and farm
ers start sending this year's
early spring pigs to slaughter.

Himmler Report
Convinced Truman
WASHINGTON, May 23 IIP)
President Truman told his news
conference today that his re.
cent verification of Adolf Hit
ler's death was based on a re
port by Heinrich Himmler.
Questioned as to the basis for
his assertion some weeks ago
that he was convinced of Hit
ler's death, the president re
plied: Himmler, head of the nazi
gestapo, had told our minister
in Sweden that' Hitler had suf
fered a stroke and had only 24
hours to live.
Then he evoked a round of
laughter by asserting that when
Himmler ever said a man had
24 hours to live that's about how
long the man has lived.
