(UP) -The United States is the only mem ber of the United Nations to off-set merchant ship losses to submarines with new construction, the Office of War Information disclosed today. This margin of safety in ship ping fo.- the U. S. increased by leaps and bounds with launching. every four months totalling as many bottoms as were sent out to sea dur ing tha lour years of the last war. Despite figures showing that by the tnd of liM3 this country will have built in two years the equivalent of all marine tonnage in the world before the war startetl, OWI point ed out (hat it still is not enough to handle military needs ahd civil ian export-import requirements.

Gives Ruling On Suspension Of Livestock Slaughter No license Is Required for the Farmer That Slaughters for the Use of Himself and Family Suspension of quotas for licensed livestock slaughterers on September 1, by the War Food Administration directly affects federally-inspected slaughtereres, local slaughterers, butchers, and farm slaughterers with delivery quotas shown on their per mits, George H. Pettit, state super visor for the Food Distribution ad ministration, announced today. The suspension, however, does not ap ply to non-base farm slaughterers who have permits allowing them to sell portions of a carcass not ex ceeding 400 pounds, the farmers who slaughter for their own family use. The suspension order continues through September and October. A license or permit for any live stock slaughter is still required un der the meat managements regula tions, Pettit delared. This also in cludes custom slaughterers. The lone exception is the farmer who slaugh ters for his own family use and sells no portion of tjie carcass. While quota suspension for beef. veal, pork, lamb and mutton are in luded in the September 1 order, other provisions of the original slaughter license program remain in full force and effect Pettit emphasized. These provisions include: required licenses or permits; observance of the set aside order for beef to the armed forces; prohibition on the payment of less than support price for hogs, or paying more than any ceilings established on . hogs; collection of ration stamps for meat in accord ance with the rationing program; stamping with license or permit num ber on wholesale meat cuts; and grading of beef, veal and lambs. It also will be necessary for slaughter ers to keep definite records ot slaughter during the two-month suspension period and to make monthly reports as required in the j original order. Effective September ord, inventory controls for all types j of slaughterers and meat handlers have been temporarily suspended. Information from the War Food Administration, - Pettit said today, indicates that prosecutions of fla grant violators of slaughter quota assignments, prior to the suspension crder, will be carried out. To Curtail Pigs Washington, Sept. 10. (UP)- The War B"ood Administration pre pared to meet ' next year's feed shortage" by curtailing production of-little pigs in 1944. It will lower the support or floor, price through which minimum rates ore guaranteed to hog raisers by the government. The reduction announced last r.ight, amounts to $1.25 per one hundred pounds. It covers the per iod from Oct. 1, 1944 to March 31, 1945. the normal market period for pigs farrowed during the spring of 1944 The new support price for that period will be J12.50 per cwt. for good to choice butcher 190 to 230 pound hogs.' The WFA said the reduction from this year's production of 127,000, 000 pigs an all time record is necessary because feed production apparently will not be enough next year to maintain that record.
