URGES u. S. TAKE OVER
PACKING HOUSE BUSINESS
Profiteering in Meat Feared by
Former Government Official at
Congressional Hearing.

Hearings were continued by Senate
and House interstate commerce COM
mittees today on pending bills pro-
viding for government control Of the
meat-packing industry. ..-
Walter L. Fisher, counsel for the
marketing committee OF the American
National Livestock Association, and
former Secretary of the Interior, ap-
peared before the House committee.
Mr.. Fisher said that when the food
administration inaugurated a system
of licensing for the packers it was
specifically agreed that the live stock
producers should have a chance to ex-
anime the books of the packers in or
der to protect their interests. The
packers never gave them an opportu-
nifty to do so. and even today they do
not know what the financial balance
is.
He also attacked the food admins
tration for not making public the re-
turns of the packers. Chairman Sims
said that the committee has author
lty to get these returns and will do
so IL they desire them.
Mr.. Fisher testified that while the
degree of exploitation which other
wise would have prevailed. it was
faulty in that it had failed to pro-
vide for regulation of sidelines OF
the packing industry such as poultry,
eggs, butter, etc.
Mr Fisher suggested three ways in
which the problem can be solved:
First, by re-eStablishing free and;
open competition.
Second. by admitting the existence
of a combination anf providing gov
