At the same time, the OPA furth er eased rationing by adding canned carrots, orange juice, grapefruit juice and blended orange and grape fruit juice to the long list of point free processed foods. Cheese and cheese products also will be easier to get, the result of a reduction of two points a pound to a new ration value of 10 points. Milk Points Cut Ration cost of canned evaporated and condensed milk was trimmed 50 per cent to a new ration cost of half a point for each pound. Only increases ordered are for pineapple juice, up three points to 15 for a Number 2 can, and grape juice, boosted four points to 10 for a pint container. Despite a smaller civilian allot ment for June, butter stays at 12 points per pound and margarine at two points. Steaks Rationed Beef steaks and roasts continue to be the only cuts of meat requiring ration stamps, and their values are unchanged with one exception. Chuck steaks and roasts are cut two points a pound. All Grade beef is removed from rationing, but the OPA said very few steaks and roasts of this lower qual ity are sold at retail. Most of such meat is made into hamburger. In continuing the ration-free meat setup, the OPA said the overall ci vilian supply for June averages 310,136,000 pounds a week, a 9.6 per cent increase over 282,859,000 pounds a week in May.
