LII HlOSI cases Where the dlScrep-
ancy between the new maximum
prices and current prices appears
to be wide, 1t was pointed out, the
dl1erence lies in the fact that many
independent dealers trim out all or
part of the bone and cut most of
the fat away before weighing the
cut. One dealer explained that he
now sells rib lamb chops with four
and one-half inches of bone beyond
the end OF the meat. but that under
the new ceilings he will have to
cut the chops so that more of the
breast bone is included.
The customers will get all the
bone and fat that we now trim out"
one butcher said. They've always
paid for it anyway, but they have
not always taken it with them"
Move Will Equalize Supplies.
1t was generally believed that the
new ceilings would spread supplies
more equally throughout the city,
as well as throughout the Nation.
Under the old ceilings. dealers
caught with low maximum prices
could not always afford to handle
certain cuts of meat with the result
that some stores and some neigh
borhoods were constantly short of
supplies.
The new dollars-and- -cents ceilings.
1t is believed, will 60 a long way in
combating black market practices
which even OPA officials have ad-

spread throughout the country.
Under the new schedule of prices,
the housewife will know that there
are only two categories of prices
and that they must be the same
for all stores of the same type.
Enforcement Is Stricter.
Stricter enforcement of ceilings
and rationing regulations already
has been instituted by the local OPA,

Meat Price Increase
In Chain Stores Likely
Under New CEILINGS:
OPA Action Is Effort
To Level OFF Costs
In District Area

A general increase In meat
prices ranging up to 48 per cent
among major chain stores in the
District probably will result when
the OPA's new dollar-and-cents
ceilings on 102 cuts of beef, veal,
lamb and mutton go into effect
on April IS, it appeared from a
survey today.
For the most part the OPA order
Issued Monday apparently seeks to
level off meat prices in this area
by striking a halfway mark be-
tween the lowest and highest CELL
lngs now prevailing. Thus, prices
In the smaller, independent stores
will remain substantially the same
while those in stores which handle
the choicest cuts of meat will be
reduced to some extent.
Although the ceilings now in ef-
feet in chain stores showed some
variation between different COM
panies, the average rise in the cost
of the principal cuts of grade A
meat will be about Is per cent.
Although the chain stores had not
yet completed their study of the
new meat ceilings, it was conceded
generally that they would take ad-
vantage of the increases permitted
and probably will raise most cuts of
meat to the new ceilings.
Increases Vary.
The smallest increase among the
nine cuts of meat studied in one
chain here will be about II per cent
for veal outlet. This same cut will
be reduced per cent from the pres
ent price Of another group of stores.
In both chains. however, the price of
chuck roast with the bone in will
60 up 48 per cent.
Lamb rib chops in one chain will
show 10 per cent price increase
while in the other group of stores the
price will come down per cent.
Porterhouse steak, in both chains,
will rise AZ per cent in price; roast
beef will go up 40 and 81 per cent;
round steak will 60 up q per cent
and sirloin steak IL per cent in both
chains.
The increase in the price of leg of
lamb will amount to 33 and 25 per
cent in the chain stores and ground
beef hamburger meat will jump in
price 10 and 80 per cent

ceiling prices with two typical sets

goods are being moved because they
are in imminent danger of spelling.
Cash prices must be reduced at least
Is per cent if the point value is cut.
If the point price is cut more the
Is per cent, the cash price must be
reduced accordingly, except that the
retailer need not cut his cash price
more than 50 per cent.

mutton prices were also put under
ceilings at later date. Under the

on the highest prevailing prices dur

Independents Are Satisfied.
Most independent merchants indi-
Gated they were satisfied with the
ceilings, and said they expected they
would result in few price changes.
The chief effect of the OPA order on
the smaller markets will be to stand
ardize trimming. At the present
time, the smaller merchants say. the
higher prices prevailing in their
stores reflect more generous trim
ming before weighing the meats.
Although prices in this class of
stores will not change appreciably,
customers may get little less meat
and more fat and bone than they
used to, it was said.
Independent Prices Are Higher.

An Army of Price Spies.
The Office of Price Administration
is organizing an espionage army to
enforce the new price ceilings that
are to 60 into effect April l. 1t is
estimated that when this new army
of voluntary shoppers and spies has
been recruited to full strength it will
consist of more than one million in
dividuals. The move is evoking much
criticism in Congress where the setup
is compared to the secret police of
the totalitarian powers we are fight
ing. Price Administration officials
contend that in no other way is it
going to be possible to stop price
chiseling by dealers.
This Administration has repeatedly
shown that it does not trust the
masses. This is merely another ex-
ample. In the first World war the
American people were placed on
their honor and they acquitted them
selves with credit, but now we are
watched over by an army of Federal
inspectors, collectors, investigators
and regulators We are told what we
can do and what we cannot do. Some
will say that it is necessary as a
part of our war effort. This do not
believe. Rather it is waste of man.
power that is tragic. This army of
million or more could be put to far
better use in producing food and
war material for our fighting forces
Personally, 1 believe the American
people are just as patriotic and just
as desirous of winning this war as
was the case back in 1917-18. To me
it is just another scheme to further
regiment our people and to prepare
them for complete RECOMMENDATION after
the war.

Although there are still several

previously inoculated, and l, ,433 have
not had the diphtheria incubation
1887 have been vaccinated for small
pox leaving 1,248 who have not been
More significant facts revealed by
the survey are as follows: There are
l3 school districts in which less than
half of the children have been vac
cinated and 36 districts in which
less than half the children have been
given the benefit of the diphtheria
inoculations. This shows that there
is definite need for the vaccination
and immunization program this
spring. Should the pupils in these
inadequately protected schools be ex-
posed to smallpox or diphtheria
many, no doubt, would contract the
diseases.
A total of 86 schools returned the
blanks to the places designated. The
nursing service is very grateful foI
this fine cooperation from the schools
We realize that it required consid-
cradle time and effort of the teachers
to make the survey as complete as
it has been. We also thank the par
