WASHINGTON, March 24 Restaurants will be restricted starting Monday to three-fourths or less of the meat they used last December, the Office of Price Administration announced tonight in the wake of its disclosure that eaters-at-home must get along on an over-all total of no more than two pounds a week of high-grade meat, cheese and butter. The restriction on restaurants included the same foods that will be point-rationed for householders beginning next week. These are meat, cheese, butter and other edible fats, canned fish and meats and such prepared foods as scrapple and tamales. PORTIONS UNLIMITED While restaurants will have to make three pounds of April steak go as far as December's four pounds, OPA did not restrict the size of individual portions they may serve.

However, the Agriculture Department is considering such limitations. Customers will not have to surrender coupons when they receive meat with meals in restaurants. Restaurants will buy meats and other products on the same point system as householders, but the RATION LESSONS Meetings will be held at 2 p. m.

The order limiting restaurants and other institutions is effective next Monday.

The household ration, while calling for only about two pounds a week of butter and better grade meats, provides a larger share if one takes oleomargarine instead of butter, beef livers instead of beef steak, or spareribs instead of pork chops.

Byrnes, and who has just reported to President Roosevelt the results of a survey trip through South America, continued: "Every time the State subsidizes an individual, the State by that act becomes more authoritative and the individual gives up some right." Continue the process, he said, and the State becomes "total and absolute." His address was prepared for delivery before the Institute of Arts and Sciences, Columbia University. Johnston, who has adopted a policy of discharging his duties as president of the nationwide association of business men with frequent conferences with leaders in Government and labor, including President Roosevelt, and top officials of AFL and CIO, ex plained his position, by saying: "I certainly would not advocate turning back the clock of history.

Except purcbaaea in bulk on its containing mere Farm Bloc Scores Again in Congress By the Associated Fres WASHINGTON, March 24 Amid arguments and denials that the legislation would raise retail food costs 7 per cent, the Congressional farm bloc chalked up another victory today with House passage of a bill to prohibit the deduction of benefit payments to farmers in determining price ceilings on Darity for agricultural products.

The House action, sending the bill to the Senate where similar legislation has been approved, came on a standing vote of 149 to 40. FOR AAA COMPLIANCES (The benefit payments are made to farmers who comply with Agricultural Adjustment Administration requirements. Parity is a fluctuating price intended to give farmers a fair share of national purchasing power in proportion to the share they had from 1909 to 1914). There was some speculation, however, that a Presidential veto was in store for this legislation and for a bill passed by the House last Friday calling for the inclusion of increases in farm-labor costs since 1909-14 in calculating parity. This latter bill has been assailed by opponents with the assertion it would bring on increase of 16 per cent in retail food prices.

ESTIMATES OF OPA The assertion that the benefit payment bill would boost food prices about 7 per cent came from Rep. Robert W. Kean, New Jersey Republican, who said the estimates were made by the Office of Price Administration. Kean warned the House the increased living costs would make it necessary to break the "Little Steel' formula governing wages in Turn to Page 21, Column 5 On Inside Pages LEAVE BIRTHDAY CAKE UNLIGHTED MINE TULL: SPREADS ALARM Earth Sinks in Toivn: 150 Homes Collapsing WAAC, A OL, Is Found Dead with Her Husband of any age will be allowed 16 ration points a week, and issued a list of point values for the products to be rationed. The OPA emphasized it would make changes in the point values or other phases of the system if experience indicated they were desirable.

OPA officials said they Were counting on rationing to go far toward wiping out black markets in meat and also to achieve a more equitable distribution of supplies, ending a system whereby "first come first served" has meant ample meat for some and none for others. WORRIED ABOUT SUPPLY An Associated Press survey indicated the question of supply was the chief worry of individual butchers with many afraid they would not get the meat to fill the customers' demands. OPA officials conceded there might be instances of inability to "cash" coupons in the early operations of rationing, particularly since heavy pre-rationing buying has been reported from many communities. But they said they believed supplies would level off within a short time. So that butchers may try ti stimulate sales of slow-moving items which otherwise might spoil, OPA has authorized them to cut the point values in such, special circumstances.

The coupons to be used are the red ones in the No. 2 Rationing Book. In the first week, those marked may be used; in the second, the coupons plus any left-over "A's." Similarly, a carryover of unused stamps will be permitted until the fourth week of rationing, ending April 30. All coupons must be used by that time or they become void. Procedure after that date is yet to be determined.

Since butchers cannot always cut meat to the fraction of an once, the OPA table includes values for ounces with provision that fractions of a point are to be dropped if less than 2 point and one point is to be collected if the fraction is over point. Butchers will be permitted to giva change in point stamps. Farmers who sell meat or other rationed products must collect point stamps. KFYKO MAKOARtNK ha freh. churne j.

BY RALPH GOLL Free Press Staff Writer Present difficulties of the Pfeiffer Brewing Co. add another link to the chain of events which have made the history of the company and its predecessor, the Pfeiffer Products one of the most turbulent in Michigan's brewing history. As early as 1932 the organization, then described as an alley brewery, was making news. In that year the Pfeiffer Products Co.

was raided by a special force of prohibition officers brought from Washington for the purpose of stamping out the manufacture of wort a malt product then sold with instructions that it was 'not to be used in making home brew.

They were unable to substantiate their suspicions, however, when an autopsy failed to reveal the cause of death. A chemical analysis of the contents of the stomachs of the two bodies, found in their apartment here, will not be completed for several days. Police said they broke into Jenkins apartment at 804 E.
