WASHINGTON, March 1—-
The days when you again can buy
all the chops steaks, and other
meat you want are still a long way
off despite a temporary easing of
restrictions on civilian consumption
in this country and in Canada.
Such was the consensus of meat

the United Kingdom. The board’s
function is to coordinate food poli-
cies of these nations.
As these officials size up pros-
pects, civilians in all the United
Nations may have to do quite a
bit more belt tightening as far as
meat is concerned before the war
Is won.
This point was emphasised by
Price Administrator Chester Bowles
who said:
“The higher point values we
have been expecting seem sure
to come next month."
Bowles saw "no- likelihood" that
this country would follow Canada’s
lead and suspend meat rationing
entirely, even for a time, declaring
"the supply situation just doesn’t
warrant it.”

The lowering of meat ration
values in this country, starting Sun-
day. and the temporary suspension
of rationing In Canada effective
immediately, merely reflect, officials
said, a momentary glut of market-
ing and storage facilities in both
countries.
This glut reflects in turn a tem-
porary heavy run of livestock to
slaughter pens. The resulting out-
put of meat in both countries is
in excess of current military and
restricted civilian requirements and
facilities for shipping supplies to
countries getting lend lease aid.
The wise thing to do. It was
explained, would be to store the
extra supply for future days
when livestock marketings will
fall off. But there is a short-
age of proper storage facilities.
Hence food officials of both coun-
tries are confronted by the choice
of letting the meat spoil or of al-
lowing it to move onto civilian
tables
This period of extra supplies may
last only a few weeks. Livestock
marketings, particularly of beef cat-
tie. are expected to decline in the
spring and summer. Such a de-
cline would make it necessary to
raise ration values here and to re-
sume rationing in Canada.
If livestock follow their normal
pattern—and there Is no reason
to assume that they will not—sup-
plies will increase again next fall
and winter.

But 1944 may well be the peak
production year in both Canada
and the United States. Both coun-
tries have been able to expand pro-
duction greatly since the war
started because both had large re-
serves of livestock feed. The re-
serves in this country have been
depleted and the Canadian sup-
plies are going down sharply.
NEW YORK, March 1—-
Democrats retained their seat in
the house of representatives from
New York’s 1st district yesterday
after a close special election, but
Republican and Democratic leaders
debated sharply its significance on
the presidential campaign ahead.
In the year’s first test of political
sentiment in President Roosevelt’s
home state, James H. Torrens. 69-
year -old Tammany district leader
who campaigned as a supporter of
the president, was elected. He
defeated William S. Bennet, 73-
year-old Republican, by 1,571 votes
of approximately 22 000 cast.
Bennet, who had been elected to
congress four times, the last in
1915. was endorsed by Governor
Thomas E Dewey and Wendell L.
Willkie.
Complete unofficial returns from
yesterday’s balloting gave Torrens.
Democratic and American labor
Because of a relative shortage of T TIN Jl"
feed this government has asked RO Deadline
farmers to produce fewer meat IOA ROH LvOuie
animals this year.
Such a reduction would be reflect- |
- ed in a smaller supply of meat next
1 year. Yet, whether the war is
over next year or not, overseas
military and relief requirements are
expected to be larger than this year.
Hence, civilians on this side of the
Atlantic would geb less.
Some food authorities believe it
may take two or three years after
the war ends to reach a supply
situation which would permit lifting
of meat rationing in this country.

Taylor county political observers
will have a definite picture of the
local voting strength by March 10
as the State Democratic Executive
commitee has set that date M the
deadline for tax collectors to file
with the county clerk statements
showing poll tax receipts issued.
Due to duplications In Issuance
only an estimated poll tax list is
available until receipts are official-
ly tabulated by the tax collector.
Collector Pat Patterson estimated
after Jan. 31 that Taylor county’s
voting strength should reach up-
ward to 12,000 with approximately
10.000 paid poll taxed and nearly
1,300 exemptions.
The first important date on
the calendar in May when pre-
cinct presidential primary con-
ventions will be held to elect
delegates to the county con-
ventions. ______

party nominee, 11,707 votes to 10,-4
136 for Bennet. Torrens' Demo-
cratic vote of 8 481 was below
Bennet’s total, but the ALP gave
Torrens 3.226 votes.
The district, which is .in:
Manhattan’s upper west side Q
and takes In part of Harlem, Is
normally heavily Democratic.
Joseph A. Gavagan, who re-
signed the seat after being
elected to the state supreme
court, won in 1942 with 46,934 1
Democratic and 13,654 ALP ’
votes for a total of 60,588 to
30,796 for his Republican op-
ponent.
Harrison Spangler, Chairman of
the Republican national commit-
tee, commented: O
“The Republicans have gons
from 33 percent of the vote in
1942 fo 47 or 48 percent in yester-
days election in this typical dis-
trict controlled by the Tammany
organization That sort of a gair,
in New York City would indicate
a landslide for the Republicans in
November.”
Edward V. Loughlin, new leadei
of Hammany hall, declared thal
Torrens' election "Is an endorse D
ment by" the voters of President
Roosevelt’s successful prosecution
of the war and admirable handling
of the nation's manifold problems
on the home front."
“Ever since the campaign start-
ed." Loughlin said, “the RepubliO
cans publicly hailed the election at
a portent of what would happen
to President Roosevelt in Novem-
ber. They have had their answer-
a most emphatic one from the vo-
ters. in whose judgment all oL,
us must concur." U
Repreesntative Vito Marcanton-
io, New York county chairman of
the American Labor party, said
| "The election must be viewed as
the first opportunity of the people
to register their support of the
president and their condemnation
o' those in and out of congress
who sought to make political capi-
tal by creating disunity."
The election came on the final

Zummak said:
“The world today has seem-
ingly lost its sense of true val-
ues, measuring the good in
people and things by the out-
ward appearance and name and
prestige attached Is them But
the tragedy of such a philoso-
phy has been proven by ether
periods of history, and It must
be emphasized anew that hu-
mility and lowliness art of ut-
most importance to us as a na-
tion if we nope to build a better
civilization for our children.
The story of Lent recalls to mind
what happens when men are de-
ceived by false values. When the
Lord Jesus was received in a grand
procession and men sang praises
of His name at the rates of Jeru-
salem, his followers were proud to
be associated with Him But as soon
as the tide changed, when brutal
soldiers led Him away captive. It
was a different story They were
offended at His lowliness snd for-
sook Him.” ,
Modern implications of this
Biblical, account will be discussed
by the Rev. Mr. Zummak. Military
personnel and the general public is
invited to attend the service
