eral indictment, told the ma.
tons housewives today that II

acy in the meat industry.
The Packers Promotional Or

Antitrust laws or any other
laws but have engaged only

ties" -
A Federal Grand Jury yester

these and other accused packers
sold more than 30 per cent Of
the hams sold I'm the United
States.
The government alleged q
conspiracy violating the Shcr-
man Antitrust law operated
thus:
The institutes prov siors
committee obtained from pack
ers pledges to refrain from Is
suing price lists. quoting prices
and booking orders for hams
prior to a four-week period pre-
ceding Easter. The effect was an
increase in the price of hams ut
a time when demand was at
peak.
During one Easter season
covered in the indictment, the
government said, the price OF
ham climbed z centsca pound.
Swift and Company declared
contracting with retailers TO-
Easter ham requirements was
an industry.wide practise, in ef-
feet for many years and not
confined to the defendant firms.

assured the retailer of . defin-
tie supply and enabled the
packer to prepare the large
quantities properly.

food costs, has obtained three
other price-fixing indictments
here In the last two months.

Furthermore, the facilities are
better than those provided for
troops in the last war;"
The committee said that in
comparing original estimates
with ultimate costs 1t should be
borne In mind that the former
were ''haphazard appproxima-
tons" and that mot all Of the ex-
cess cost Of the camps was due
to waste and inefficiency."
"A great deal of the excess
cost" the report said, was due
to insufficient planning in ad-
vance and to no planning at

creation Of q special division of

wise construction and mainten-
ance, removing this function
from the Quartermaster Corps.

oWASHINGTON, AUG 14-R
"A special Senate committee re-
ported today that the Army's
billion dollar housing program
was "unduly and unnecessarily"
expensive, partly because Of q
widespread use of cost-plusr
fixed-fee contracts. but said that
II did not contend "that any Of
the officials were dishonest"
Making q progress report to
the Senate, the Committee, ap-
pointed to investigate the de-
tense program, termed "conser-
vative" IN earlier war depart
ment estimate that 500, 200, 900
could have been saved by adj
vance planning for the 220 con-
struction projects In which the
expanded army was housed.
The committee said that q May
81 estimate of the total cost of
the camps was $3.50, 200, 703 COM
pared with advance estimates Of
44,545,616. With an average
cost per man Of $500, exclusive
Of the cost of land, supplemental
requirements, the committee
added, would bring the total cost
Of the program to approximate
~ 100000, 900.
1.-THE principal reason" the
committee reported, "for the in
ability to make proper estimates
and for the undue expense Of
the program was the lack Of
adequate plans and the failure
to use such information Is was
available"
