30 Pet.
Of Meat
To u. s.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-The coun.
try's livestock and meat industry
will produce is per cent more
meat this year than in 1871 anc
just about all Of the increased out
put will be taken by the govern.
ment, George A. Schmidt, chair.
man of the board OF the American
Meat Institute, said al the opening
session OF the institutes annual
convention here.
Schmidt estimated that approx.
mately is per cent OF this years
total production wifi be sold tt
government agencies for shipment
abroad and for supplies TO military
services. Indications are that the
government requirements next
year will be about 30 per cent oil
total production or roughly 1000
600, 900 pounds. he said.
Reviewing 1912 operations OF
the livestock trade. Schmidt said
pork production will be the great
est on record. running about II
per cent ahead Of 1871. Beef pro-
duction will be up 13 per cent, yea
production up 6 per cent and lamt
production up about 3 per cent, hC
added.
production of meat In 1943
probably will be higher than In
1892" nc said. "but sales TO all
government agencies probably
will allow less meat available
for domestic consumption. Indi-
cations now are that per capita
consumption of meat next year
will be about 1871 pounds, calcu-
lated on dressed weight basis.
Even though this Is a substantial
decrease from the amount OF
meat consumed by each person
this year. II still Is considerably
above the average of l93I-40 10
year period"

MILLIONS SAVED

lne government so lar mas

through re-negotiation OF con-
tracts" Norris asserted. "How-
ever. there Is a possibility that
even more can be done. The cost
plus fixed fee plan may easily be
used as the tool for prolonging a
job, too. 1t Is fundamentally
wrong"
Shipstead. exhibiting newspaper
and reports, which
he said indicated the waste under
the st-plus-fixed fee plan, said he
thought an investigation was in
order.
One OF the advertisements was
placed by the United States EN-.
ployment service. 1t was call foi
10000 men TO be used in the west
and TO be- paid 90 cents an hour
for unskilled labor.
II want to know more about
this" he said. 81 am going to
put this In the record. III these
men are TO be used on projects
where there are cost-plus-fixed-
fee contracts 1 want TO know

ductive to fraud of the worst
order and 10 gross carelessness

ROOSEVELT, NELSON IN
 LABOR TIFF
President, WIPE Chief Dif- fer Over War Bonus
 Question

WASHINGTON, April 8.-Presi- dent Roosevelt and his War Produc- ton Chief, Donald M. Nelson, dif- Tered openly today over the wisdom of allowing wartime cash bonuses for workers to set faster pace in vital arms industries. Nevertheless, numerous signs in the hotly debated controversy over wages and hours indicated that things may be edging towards a solution despite the con- tinuing surface turmoil.
 The President, while intimating that there might be an announce ment on the wage question soon, told reporters at conference yes terday that he utterly opposed a wartime bonus plan because all men in a national emergency such as this ought to produce all they can.
 MT. Roosevelt's rem arks ran counter to those of Nelson, who en- dorsed the bonus or incentive pay plan during his appearance before a Senate committee on March 20.
 Meanwhile, William Bait, Nelson's right hand man, sounded new note in an urgency speech he de- livered last night at Camden, New Jersey. Bait warned that the public is no longer in any mood to "tol- crate further indecision and delay ing by management, labor or gov ernment" in prosecuting the war program.

 The Soviet forces made the cross ing between Dorogdbuzh and Dur ovo in a striking achievement.
