By the Associated Press.
OpA ofiicials, acknowledging
that meat shortage existed
in Ohio, said today they be-
lieved the situation was worse,
II anything, along the Eastern
seaboard," but offered no i'm
mediate remedies.
They said they hoped the
new run of grass-fed cattle, due
next month, would alleviate the
situation by increasing sup
plies. -
A boost in the retail and
wholesale price ceilings, they
said, would not provide lasting
relief, because it would merely
induce a further rise in live
cattle quotations.
Farm price provisions OF the
Emergency Price Control Act
forbid imposition of a ceiling
on livestock.
On proposal discussed, de-
signed to relieve small packers
whose uninspected meats are
not purchased by the armed
forces, was buying program
by the agricultural marketing
administration at a support
price.
OPA was expected to issue
some formal statement on. the

President Roosevelt today gave
his personal approval to the can
didacy of Senator Mead for the
Democratic nomination for Gov

Senator Mead, after making public
a letter to his colleague, Senator
Wagner. saying he would seek the
nomination, called at the White
House to tell the President what
he had done AS he left the Ex-
ecutive Mansion the Senator was
asked if Mr. Roosevelt had given
him his blessing. He quoted the
President as having told him:
Il am a voter in New York State,
but I am not a delegate to the
Democratic State) convention. If
I were delegate to the convention
would cast my vote for Jim Mead"
This set at rest once and for all
the question whether Mr.. Roosevelt
would take public stand in favor
of any of the candidates. Predictions
followed swiftly that, with the pow
