...nation no longer needed to be told it must give up meat. In many sections, it had already had sharp, temporary famines. Last week's crowning blow came when the War Food Administration commandeered 45% of all beef for the armed services and for Lend-Lease...

Featured on the dinner will be Mushroom Soup, Roast Beef and Strawberry Sundae, garnished with Midshipman entertainment, some tavern harmony led by "Jake" and a very few remarks from the honored guests. Captain McIntosh, Lieutenant Commanders Hesser and Collins, and Lieutenant Anderson are expected to be an board, and Deans David and Smith, and Mr. Bates of the Harvard faculty have...
