Club Distributes
100000 A Blanks

To avert a threatened shortage
of renewal applications for A
books, the Automobile Club of
Michigan came TO the aid of the
OPA and distributed more than
100000 of the blanks in the De-
troit area, it was learned today.
According TO Edwart T. Broad
well, district mileage rationing
officer, the clubs contribution
raised to nearly 100000 the
number Of forms available in
Wayne County. Heavy demands
of the past few days had absorbed
the supply in some places, he de-
clared.
The OPA will distribute $50, 900
additional forms today, he said,
so that no driver in this area will
be forced to go without gas for
lack of an application blank.

Packer
Faces
ii Years

Edward CARRIER. 4079 Deming.
proprietor of the CARRIER Packing
Co. 1852 Eighteenth, faced a pos
slble l4-year prison term and fines
totaling $4,000 today. following
his conviction on charges of vio-
latlng OPA meat regulations.
CARRIER, found guilty by a jury
after two hours elaboration. is
the first Detroit meat packer to
be tried and convicted in federal
Court for conducting a BLACK
market
The conviction ended a three
week trial which saw a parade Of
government witnesses testify that
CARRIER had sold them meat in ex-
cess of maximum prices set up
by the OPA.
GUILTY ON ii COUNTS
Found guilty on IA counts. each
of which carried possible SEN
tence of one year in prison or
$1,000 fine or both, CARRIER was
referred to the probation depart
ment by Federal Judge Picard.
Assistant u. S. Attorney Joseph
G. Murphy said CARRIER had sold
beef to his customers with in
voices rejecting regular ceiling
prices, then collected additional
funds known only TO CARRIER and
the select clientele.
This Is one Of the most seri-
Gus OPA violation cases / have
presented to the grand jury so
far" Murphy asserted.
although CARRIER and his
company knew that the OPA
was investigating them early
this year, they continued to viO-
late the Emergency Price Con-
troll Act"
PROVED BY ATTORNEY
The grand jury indictment,
charging violations from Dec.
1912, to May, 1913. was obtained
after an investigation by w. G.
Fitzpatrick, OPA enforcement at
torney attached to the meat divi-
sion.
Although court proceedings
have been filed against numerous
meat packers, resulting in perma-
nent injunctions, Murphy said the
CARRIER indictment was the only
purely criminal case on record
here.

REUTHER's OBJECTION

Reuther said the plan would be
rejected by the voters as would
any tax plan which is not based
on ability TO pay on a graduated
scale.
He advocated a national post
war Improvement program which
he said could conceivably be
financed by an income tax eX-
empting persons making less than
81 500 annually.
'If we can mobilize our coun-
try to fight a war" Reuther
said, "then IL seems feasible
that we also could mobilize the
nation for a constructive pro-
gram"

Butchers Bare Shelves Laid to OPA
Packers Predict
No Relief Until
Cattle Is Pegged

White trays once piled high
with meat in butcher shop cases
continued today to CLEAN emptily
and little hope is held out for inn
mediate improvement in this
shortage, packers reported.
Slaughterers are killing only
enough cattle to keep their organi-
cations together, Benjamine IN
win, secretary of the Detroit
Independent Packers Association,
said.
Caught between OPA retail
ceiling prices and farm prices.
they are taking an average 3 cents
pound loss on beef they kill, he
asserted
NO CATTLE SHORTAGE
There Is no cattle shortage
Irwin said. "But farmers are
demanding SIC hundredweight
for beef. The OPA price at
which packers must sell Is 90
cents pound. IL Is impossible
TO process meat within this
spread"
Normal consumption of meat is
about two pounds a person per
week. For the metropolitan area
of Detroit this adds up to approx
mately 100000 pounds a week.
How far short of this figure
we are, ii Is impossible to esti-
mate" Irwin said. "But that
the supply Is far short Is GER
tain. Some packers are killing
mere handsful of beef"
LARGER HOG SUPPLY
There are larger supplies of
hogs and sheep. he explained. but
far from enough TO make up the
beef shortages.
A survey made by the Times
revealed many large butchers with
no beef at all and very little of
any other meat.
"And what we do get we now
have TO go after ourselves" all
reported
1t was explained that, because
of manpower shortages, packers
are no longer delivering and shop
/ owners are forced to stand in line
to get their meager shares at the
packing houses.
This situation will get very
little better until the govern
ment places a ceiling on cattle
at the farm" Unwin declared.

o. d. COCHRAN

Senator 0. D. Cochran, President of the Senate,
stated accepting token of appreciation OF service
from his colleagues yesterday that it was unlikely
that he will be back for another session of the Ter
ritoria Legislature.
1t is with sincere regret that hear these words
spoken by the Senior Senator from the Second
Division.
Senator Cochrans position in the Territorial
Legislature has added much to maintain sensible
balance of judgment in the important tasks which
such body is set up to perform.
We have noticed from time to time that the
solon from Nome has taken this business of legisat-
ing in all seriousness. An old Missoui-ian, he is
faithful to the saying. The mules from Missouri
are the most stubborn creatures earth The men
"have to be shown" And the latter is a valuable
trait to find in any legislator, found in too few
Senator Cochran celebrated his 63rd birthday
during the legislative session. and in opinion he
has now ripened into that age in which the powers
of judgment valuable Judge Cochrans serv-
ices will be needed by the next legislature and the
next and the next.
He has just finished his second term IN the
Senate We wish to remind him that precedent
for the third has already been we-established
Judge Cochran will be missed if he doesn't come
back to Juneau in 1945.

The Territory has neat surplus of approximately

too strong and have done this by increasing only
the tax ON salmon Gamers and broadening of the

We were pleased to that more than one

revenue will be ample that they were not here for
the purpose of increasing taxes already tax

willing take this stand and take the consequences

In spite of the splitting into sides on many
