Beefless and 1 porkless Tuesdays will remain indeli- i nitely, it was learned tonight, j Representatives of the Livestock Producers association, who ended their , | conferences with food administration. I i officials yesterday, have received no ! ' assurances that their request for the j j elimination of meatless Tuesdays will j j be granted. On the contrary, Food j i Administrator Hcover is said to have | | taken the position that any further j i lifting of the ban for meat conserva- ' I j tion would be unwarranted in view or j the fact that the improvement in the ! ! shipping: situation through the acquis!tion of the Dutch tonnage will enable j the United States to send to our allies all the meat they need. It was pointed out that the chief object in doing away with th^ meatless meal each day, the porkless Sat ' urdays and permitting the use of mut- ! ' ton and lamb on Tuesdays until April I 15 was the inability to ship to Europe j created an over-abundance here that j glutted the market.
