Cattle Price Controls
Wont Take Effect
Until December |
BY the Associated Press,

| BY the Associated Press.
The Office of Economic Stabiliza-
ton, seeking to clear up confusion
reported in livestock markets, said
last night the price control phase of
its new live cattle subsidy program
will not 60 in effect until December /.
Thus, until December l, professors
and slaughterers will operate on the
same basis that they have bought
cattle since the original rollback
cattle subsidy was inaugurated last
June.
Under the price control phases of
the new program. slaughterers and
professors must pay within specified
price ranges for live cattle in order
to be eligible for subsidies. The
subsidies are designed to enable
professors and slaughterers to pay
farmers prices at about present levels
and sell beef at present meat ceilings.
The original subsidy was set up after
meat prices were rolled back 10 per
cent.
Small Slaughterers Aided.
A special subsidy of 80 cents
per 100 pounds offered to small
slaughterers who, the OES said, have
been squeezed by present price con-
troll regulations will, however, go in
effect November /.
Under the part of the program
becoming effective December /,
slaughterers and professors must
pay prices ranging from a minimum
OF $7.45 per hundred pounds for
cutter and Gamer grade of cattle
to a top of SIG for choice grade to
be eligible for the livestock pay
ments-but not the special subsidy
to small slaughterers.
Slaughterers and professors would
be free, however, to pay any price
they desire if they do not want the
subsidy. Thus, the program does
not set up actual, mandatory CELL
ing prices. Instead, it seeks to &C
compiish the aims of a ceiling
through the offer of financial in
ducement.
Price Schedule Due Soon.
Inc price ranges for various
grades at markets other than Chi
cago will be announced by December
l, the OES said.
The program does not directly
affect cattle bought by feeders, in
asmuch as the latter are not eligible
for the subsidy. A feeder may pay
any price he sees fit, but, of course,
1t would be Improbable for him to
pay prices out of line with those
which he could get when he event.
ually sold his fattened cattle to
slaughterers or professors.
The subsidy payments to process
sors and slaughterers will be deter
mined on the basis of average
monthly prices paid for cattle. Thus,
a slaughterer could pay more than
the top price for any grade on any
one day and still get the full sub
sldy if the average price paid dur
ing the month for that grade was
within the specified price range.

Confusion was reported at several

arose from representatives of pro-
