WASHINGTON, July %. (UP)-
The Office of Price Administration
and the agriculture department to-
day studied charges by meat pack
ers in midWestern and eastern cities
that the lack of ceilings on prices
paid to farmers has caused 'short-
age" of quality meat products.
Remedies being considered for
small meat packers who have been
squeezed between the highest
livestock prices in years and price
ceilings on dressed meat products
were said to include what would be,
in effect, government subsidies. The
big packers sell most of their meat
to the government for lend-lease
at prices above Chicago quotations.
SLACK SEASON
Officials emphasized that the
current situation is aggravated by
/ the fact that this is the slack season
in livestock sales. They hoped live
stock prices would drop sharply
when large quantities of hogs and
cattle are shipped to market this
fall.
But OPA agriculture department
officials agreed that drastic action
might have to be taken between
now and fall marketing time.
They agreed that the meat scare
ity-basically artificial, since live
stock production is at record levels
was the result of advancing, CELL
ingless prices for hogs and cattle
on the hoof. Because of high prices,
packers claim they can not afford
to buy-thus reducing the supply
of beef and pork for retail.
OFFICIALS CHECK
Government officials said they
we're investigating reports from Chi
cago, Ohio and 3 eastern seaboard
cities that deliveries of beef and
hog products have been reduced
drastically. They said they had no
official figures but that regional
offices of the OPA and agriculture
department we're checking the re-
ports.

Nearly a thousand hotel rooms

Despite the fact it was Easter and
the cherry trees were In bloom, 442
rooms were vacant Saturday night
and 885 Sunday night, all in the
city's best hotels, according to a

The board attributed the condi-
ton to reports circulating through

gasoline shortages also were believed
to have kept many tourists away
over the past week end.

Navy Relief Drive Head
Makes First Public Appeal

With only four days left in which
to raise nearly 5000 to reach the
Districts $4,000 Navy relief fund
goal, George A. Garrett, general
chairman, made a direct appeal to
the public today for cooperation.
This first public appeal, Mr.. Gar
rett said, was prompted by a growing
emergency. He pointed out that the
drive should not be considered a
charity effort, but a necessity.
The campaign will end Saturday.
In voicing his plea for more gen.
erous contributions, Mr.. Garrett
cited the example set by naval
veteran of the First World War,
who, unable to 60 into active duty
because of physical defects, turned
over to Navy relief for the duration
the $40 a month he receives as his
disability compensation.
That $40 each month represented
the few luxuries this man and his
wife enjoyed above the nominal nv-
ing wage he received for Govern
ment job" Mr.. Garrett said. More
sacrifices of this nature would make
success of our personal sollclta-
tions. I am Withholding the name
of the man at his request, but it's
this type of sacrifice that wins wars
and naval battles"

Pvt. Pershing Wins Praise for Work at BeIvoir
BY PAT JONES,

Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
FORT BELVOIR, Va, April 7.
Pvt. Warren Pershing. son of
the commander of the American
Expeditionary Forces, in the First
World War, told newspapermen
today he had lost eight pounds
since he joined the service, but
that he is delighted with Army
life.
The 6-foot, raw-boned recruit,
who gave up the life of New
York broker for that of private
in Company B, 5th Battalion,
United States Engineers. has been
in the service a little more than
two months.
IF I don't stop losing soon I
won't cast a shadow" he COM
mented. He said his present
weight is 1877 pounds.
This led to comment from his
battalion executive officer, Capt.
H. A. Eddins: HE asked for the
work when he came here and we
are giving it to him."
Pvt. Pershing's day begins at
$50 am. and ends at 5 pm,
unless there are night problems.
Training for an average week
includes bayonet practice, bridge
building, road building, close
order drill, chemical warfare,
demolition, anti-aircraft fire, gen.
eral construction, a 20-mile hike
and guard duty.
He laid down the shovel with
which he had been landscaping
today to be interviewed by re-
porters.
What does your work consist
OFF" he was asked.
"Well, I've been shoveling dirt
and planting grass seed today.
but you'll have to ask my captain
what I'll be doing tomorrow" he
replied.
He said he had been unable to
get any comment from his
father, Gen. John j. Pershing,
concerning his military activities,
although the general told him
on one of his frequent trips to see
his father at Walter Reed Hos
pital that his uniform fitted
mighty well"
Pvt. Pershing had a months
training at a c. M. T. c. camp
in Minnesota a number of years

at war.
DR.. Edwin w. Broome, county
school superintendent, said today
more stress is being placed on cor
rection of physical defects by STEP
ping up the visits of the public
health nurses to the schools.
/ More attention is being paid, he
said, to proper posture and walking
instead of games during the 60
minute physical education periods.
Precision marches are also being
used. Funds limit the periods to
once a week.
ID. C. Leaders Urge Action.
Meanwhile, members of the Board
OF Education, school officials and
officials of the Health Department
in the District are calling for a
stepup in the activity programs and
health instruction in the schools
and an expanded program of medi-
cal and dental inspection and fol-
low-up care for correction of defects.
DR.. Broome said students are
urged to report to county health de-
partment nurses when they visit
the various schools. The staff of
Is nurses and two nursing super
visors sees to it, he said, that every
one in the schools visited gets a
complete physical examination at
least once year.

examinations during his public
