White bread-the symbol of American plenty-would have to be displaced by a grey-or cream-colored bread*; the President decreed that wheat flour be made from 80% instead of the normal 70% of the whole grain. Production of whiskey and of other grain alcohol beverages would have to be cut back to wartime levels. Beer brewing would have to be cut by 30% (back to the 1940 rate). The wartime set-aside of pork for Government purchase was reinstated. The President warned the U.S. that it might even have to go back to meat rationing...

A rabid jazz fan, he keeps his hotel-room radio going steadily for entertainment, sings above it his current favorite-"The Hatchayson, Topeka and the Santa...
...plants of the big-four packing houses. Wrapped in heavy clothing, they huddle around bonfires, crowd into hastily built shacks and drink coffee out of big kettles heated on bonfires. They jump around, swinging their big arms to keep warm. The bar in the union hall locked up its whiskey and beer 'for the duration,' sells only coke and tomato juice. If a drunk appears on the picket line he is yanked out, hauled home, cussed...
