0PA Delay in Probing
Violations ASsai|ed
Alexandria Official Cites
7 Coupon Black Market

Alexandria Ration Board officials
today blamed delays in investigating
OPA violators and red tape for a
breakdown in enforcement of gaso-
line rationing regulations.
'Irrefutable complaints" of an
Alexandria black market in T gaso-
line coupons were reported to Rich
nond several times before any steps
were taken to investigate them ac-
cording to one Official. He added
tnat the investigation took place
several weeks later, after the T cvu-
pons had become valid, reducing
the Investigators chances of appre-
nending the violators.
Board officials also said they SCI
dom are informed when an investi-
cation is under way, even if it is
being made in response to a report
from the board. Although beard
members are aware that OPA in
vestigators looked into the ola.k
market complaints in gasoline a
week ago, they have had no word
on the findings.
An example of the delay was given
by a member of a volunteer panel.
He said that several days ago a man
came to the board and reported that
ration Book No. 2, which he had
turned over to the proprietor of his
boarding house, had been returned
to him when he checked out, with all
the red coupons missing.
The volunteer panel member hap
pened to be at the board when the
case was reported, and as he left
the building he met a State investi-
gator on the street.
He told him of the case and sug-
gested that ar immediate investiga-
ton be made while the official was
In the city. The State ofilcial told
him it would be necessary to wait
until the report had been sent to
Richmond by the Alexandria board,
and that he then would undoubtedly
be sent back to Alexandria to in
VeStipate.

Lifting Of Coffee Curb
Fails 10 Spur Demand

Although housewives can buy
coffee now without bothering about
rationing coupons, retailers report
coffee sales yesterday and today
were about the same as during the
rationing period.
People don't want to buy what
they can get-they just want what
they can't get. That's psychology, -
said one disgruntled grocer. Sew
eral other grocers echoed these SEN
timents.
Most of the retailers checked said
sales were about the same, 4 few
reported slight increases, and one
store said sales yesterday were ac-
tually less than before. They ex-
pressed the opinion that housewives
had enough coffee on hand and had
been getting enough anyway.
At the District once Of Price Ad-
ministration, 1t was said about Is

yesterday from customers complain
ing stores were still demanding
coupons.

Increased Beef Supply
Seen by Dealers al Here
IN Next Few Weeks
Hold Relief in Shortage
Will Be Only Temporary;
Pork to Become Scorce

More beef will be available here
during the next few weeks, but pork
will become. increasingly scarce,
Joseph B. Danzansky, attorney for
local dealer members of the meat
section of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association, disclosed to-
day.
Relief from the beef shortage will
be only temporary, and even during
the two-to-three-we lush period
supplies here probably will not be
adequate to meet the demand, Mr..
Dan7ansky said. But, he added
there will be = great deal more beef
In stores than there has been for
several months.
A survey of wholesale and retail
dealers here indicated supplies
already have begun to improve.
Greater increases are expected next
week. -
The reason for the heavier ship
ments Of beef, Mr.. Danzansky said,
Is that CRASHED cattle are being
marketed in large numbers in the
Midwest, where pasture grass now is
drying and becoming shorter. Dry
ing pastures also are causing farm
ers in Virginia. Maryland and West
Virginia to move their grass fed
beef to market.
After the temporary boom in sup
ply. the normal bad situation" in
beef will be. resumed, Mr. Danzansky
predicted. Despite amended OPA
regulations, large packers still are
failing to allocate their supplies
among all dealers and are ignoring
nonslaughtering distributors and
professors. he said
The season for marketing hogs is
nearing its close. Mr.. Danzansky
said, with the result that pork
steadily will become less plentiful
here.
The Agriculture Department,
meantime, gave civilians assurance
that greater than seasonal in
crease in slaughter of cattle is ex-
pected during the next few months.
Several factors now point to. I'M
usual supplies for livestock for
slaughter during the last half OF
1913 and in 1874" a Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics report said.
With livestock numbers and pro-
duction Mt their present record level
and beginning to outrun total feed
resources, expanded marketing in
the near future appears fairly Ger
tain"
The report said that total slaughter
supplies OF hogs in the 1894 mar
keting year probably will exceed
those Of any other year by q wide
margin.

Much can be done to stimulate
