Warns Of Health Peril
In 'Boot|egged' Meats
All Rules of Sanitation
Found Violated in
Western New York Area
b! the Associated Press.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. l1.-A
Department of Agriculture Off
cial asserted today in a letter to
the Buffalo Evening News that
"a serious health menace and
possibly an epidemic" may re-
suit from widespread black
marketing" of meat in Western
New York.
Carl H. Neu. associate marketing
specialist in charge of the Agricul-
tural Marketing Administration in
Cleveland, told in the letter of find-
ing five bootleg killing" operations
in a brief investigatory trip to the
Batavia area last week.
Within three hours after leaving
Buffalo" he wrote, I'VE were able
to locate five different places where
beef, hogs and calves were being
slaughtered and sold for meat pur-
poses. All OF whom were killing
without first acquainting themselves
with the requirements OF the OPA
meat regulations.
Sanitation Rules Violated.
Some of these plants had not
even availed themselves of the
services Of the local health authori-
ties. Three of these plants were
located on farms where we were ad-
vised that a local health inspector
would visit their plants upon re-
quest"
Mr.. Neu said the "black market
operations are characterized by un-
sanitary slaughtering, lack Of in
spection, inadequate refrigeration
and transporting and handling of
meat I'm dirty trucks by men
who violated all rules of sanitation. y
Present meat shortages in cite
are caused mostly, Mr.. Neu as
serted. "by the fact that thousand.
OF mushroom slaughter houses hav,
sprung up in barns, garages, base
ments and even in the open field
under the limb of a big tree
establishing the black market
which must be dealt with imrhedi.
ately and firmly"
Higher Prices Per Pound.
He said black market" operator,
pay from l to cents q pound more
to the illegal slaughterers than i.
paid in the legitimate market, thu.
hampering packers who abide BY
OPA regulations.
Mr.. Neu, who said he selected
the Batavia area for his investiga.
ton at random and made the trir
IN company with an oficial United
States meat grader and an OPA
investigator, added that his findings
would be turned over to the OPA
w. Stuart Grattan, acting district
manager of the OPA in Buffalo
said his ofdce had several cases OF
alleged BLACK meat market" op-
erations pending" but he had not

Boards He added that this was
his own judgment. not that OF
ODT." He said he thought the
agricultural boards were better
equipped to handle rationing for
farmers than the once OF Price
Administration and the ODT, which
fixes mileages for the OPA.
Mr.. Turney said that If he had
to do it over again" he would seq
regate" farm gasoline rationine
from that for other commercial
vehicles for two reasons:
/. Farm trucks are used not only
for transporting goods, but also as
a passenger vehicle.
2. IF you are going to restrict
the operation Of farm vehicles, you
ought to have people with farm
knowledge and we did not have it,
Mr.. Turney made his recommen-
dation under questioning by Chair
man Maloney and Senator Burton,
Republican of Ohio on the ODT order
requiring farmers to apply for Ger
tificates of convenience and neces-
sary. The Senators said that many
farmers had protested that they had
to I'LL out long questionnaires and
send them to Detroit, where the ap-
plications were "processed."
