New Price CeiIinqs
For Beef and Pork
Studied by0PA
Scale Might Vary in
Different Localities,
Spokesman Declares

BY the Associated Press.
The Office of Price Administration
is making plans to establish dollars
and cents ceiling prices for beef and
pork meats sold at retail throughout
the Nation.
An OPA spokesman said last night
that if OPA decided to make the
ceilings effective it probably would
be several weeks before the order
would be issued.
Under the plan discussed, he said,
the ceilings might differ in various
localities. Chain stores would have
slightly lower ceilings than would
their independent competitors with
smaller volumes of business. Posting
of the ceiling prices in retail butcher
shops probably would be required on
most, if not all cuts of beef and
pork, he said.
The program likely would aid in
eliminating any black markets in
meat products that might exist, he
declared.
Meanwhile, Representative Klein,
Democrat, of Nevada said that IAN
apparent administrative battle" be-
tween Secretary of Agriculture Wick
/ ard and Leon Henderson, former
price administrator, had forced the
ceiling prices on meat so low that
wholesalers in the New York area
were compelled to operate through
the black market to keep from losing
money.
This situation has become so
serious Mr.. Klein said, that the
poor people are in a very bad way.
It's got to stop. I've already IN
troduced a resolution for an investi-
CATION of the situation, and I'm
going to speak my piece on the floor
! Of the House"
Representative OToole, Democrat,
/ OF New York also said.
There might just as well be no
ceiling on meat in New York. This
situation would be ridiculous if il
did not throw the lower income
groups on the mercy of the black
market and dishonest retail clerks !"

Again!

AHosE GIRLS weren't afraid to get their
hands dirty" said the president of one
great company employing thousands of
women. "They weren't afraid to work.
They put on overalls or tied up their
hair or cut it off. And in twelve weeks
they were making 900 different kinds of
tools and making them WE'LL"
That comment was made to a group of
newspaper women who toured American
war p lants from coast to coast and re-
ported on the part women are playing
In producing war material.
In an aircraft plant on the Pacific
Coast, the vice. president showed them
fuselage assembly.
"See this line'" he said. "First all-woman
assembly line ofa major part in the history
of aircraft. Look at their fingers go!"

NTH US AT cRosLEY, the employment
OF women is not new. In the making of
Crosley Radios and in other peacetime
products, we have had reason to know
how competent and skillful women's
hands and brains can be.
But more than ever, since the total con-
version to war in our eight plants has
been achieved, we have reason to appre-
clate the part that women are playing.
To them goes a great share of the
credit for the speed and adaptability
which is enabling Crosley to turn out a
volume of production fur times greater

Women are naturally nimble with their
fingers. Once they understand Job, they
ia ke to it like duck to water.
Women who have never worked be-
tore find that their natural gift for using
theirhandS is standing them in good stead.
A woman down on her knees cutting
sheet OF steel with a burners torch uses
the same keen eye required to stitch up
hem on a sewing machine. Ironing out
the seams on a life belt uses the same
abilities as ironing the family laundry.
The woman who used to drive the kids
to school is running tractors carrying
materials in the biggest plants.

they can work steady hours without fa-

men are fighters in this war. Their greater

They have earned it.
