Rationing Of Meat
To Be on Point. Basis,
Henderson Reveals
Weight, Not Dollar
Value, Will Be Used,
OPA Office Says

First admission that meat ration
ing will be handled on a point sys-
tenn basis was made today by Price
Administrator Leon Henderson in a
talk before the Boston Advertising
Club.
A spokesman for the OPA said
later that meat probably would be
doled out through points on a
weight or pound basis rather than
by dollar value. He said OPA was
shooting for" January l for the
rationing program, but that it was
doubtful that plans could be COM
pleted by that time
Mr.. Henderson told the Boston au-
dience that despite all that has been
Gone to stabilize the cost of mate
rlals and labor the public may ex-
pect price rises in many instances
because labor will be scarce. greener
and less efficient and there will be
increasing machinery adolescence
N manufacturing plants.
Can Do One of Four Things.
Referring to the probable rise in
cost of many commodities despite ef-
Forts by the Government to invoke
5trlct control, Mr.. Henderson said
the increased cost would be absorbed
by industry wherever possible. He
added that in cases where manu-
facturers, wholesalers or retailers
were squeezed by increased costs,
the Government must do one of
four things.
Raise price ceilings and allow
those increased costs to spiral up
ward throughout the industrial
structure.
Simply turn its back and allow the
industry to 60 out of business for the
duration.
Assist lndustry-as is now being
dOne-to hold down costs bv STAN
dardization and simplifcation.
Employ Subsidies.
In another plea for subsidy, Mr..
Henderson said that experience has
proved over and ove.c again that
subsidy carefully administered and
sparefully used, is the cheapest and
best way to solve tEe problem of
increased costs under a system OF
rigid controls"
Set at Zone Levels.
Pointing out that OPA already
has removed March ceiling prices
for a number of items. MI. Hender-
son said the public can expect ito
see an increasing number of So
called dollars and cents ceiling
prices, set by grade and zone top
prices at the manufacturing and
processing level" He added that in
many instances ceiling prices at re-
tail levels probably will be based
on fixed margin over ret costs for
the various types and classes of
retail stores.
An OPA spokesman said that the
general maximum price regulation,
which fixed prices for nearly all cost
OF living items at highest prices pre-
valllng last March, would be replaced
as pricing methods for virtually
everything in the food and clothing
lines. oPA already has removed
from the general regulation some
items of clothing and such food
commodities as canned goods. The
spokesman said that specific pricing
regulations soon would be formulated
Tor the sale of meats and retail
groceries.
The spokesman predicted that soon
the general regulation would be re-
placed by specific formulas for nearly
everything the public buys except
Items such as hardware. OPA ha
added. has found it difficult to con-
troll food and clothing prices under
the old method.
