Ceilings
Indicated
BY IRVING PERLMETER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-(P)
The government may clamp
price ceilings on livestock in
an effort to halt "black mark
cts" in meat.
Price administrator Prentiss
Brown disclosed today that ten
tative plans are being studied
to limit the amount of money
which farmers can accept for
their cows, pigs, and other meat
animals.
Illicit slaughterers now are
able to outbid legitimate deal
ers because the latter are COM
PEELED to operate under packing
and retailing price controls.
Together with rationing, strict
er enforcement of price and
slaughter regulations. publicity
about the health dangers of eat
ing illicitly slaughtered meat,
Brown said the plan ought to
bring about more equitable dis
tribution of available supplies.
Government and packing Of
ficials have estimated that be-
tween S and 20 per cent of the
civilian supply has been going
recently to BLACK markets." but
Brown said it was improper to
blame farmers for selling their
animals to the highest bidders.
Farmers are law abiding citi-
zens," he said, land there is 10
law against these sales.
when we place ceilings On
livestock - and we are serious
ly considering doing that - l
am sure the farm people will
abide by that"
He made no comment on the
possible opposition of farm lead
ers who have opposed price re-
strictions on farm products.
Brown proposed to specify
just what prices farmers could
charge for their live animals,
and thus eliminate the incentive
to sell to Illicit slaughterers.
Other officials indicated, how
ever, that livestock ceilings
would involve a host of technical
difficulties, and cautioned that
it might take considerable time
to work out a plan.

Bullets End
Strange Love
Relationship

LAS VEGAS, New, Feb. 16 -
Up Bullets from the rifle of
a Sc year old Oregon rancher
ended a strange relationship in
which the elderly man had lived
with his wife and her lover,
posing as her father in law,
Coroner Jack Larry reported to-
day.
The rancher, Walter Duncan,
was held on an open charge
while authorities investigated
his story and the fatal shooting
of Russell Cone, 81, yesterday.
In q statement to Coroner
Larry, Duncan said he shot the
man who captured the heart of
his 36-year-old wife. Cone, he
said, descended on him in
drunken state and started to
beat him.
Larry said Duncan told him
Cone fell in love with his wife
when he came to work on Dun
cans ranch. The three decided
to come to Las Vegas for di-
vorces-Cone already was mar
ireland they put up together
in the same auto court here.
Duncan posed as his wife's
father-in-la while she lived
with Cone, the Coroner said, and
even sided with her when she
got into quarrels with her low
err. She left for Los Angeles a
week ago, but the two men con-
tinued to live together.
Duncan was quoted by the
coroner as saying he used his
14-year-old sons deer rifle to
shoot Cone, and above every
thing else he wanted to see that
his boy got the weapon back.
The son and q daughter, ID, are
believed to be with their moth
er in Los Angeles.

Senate Group
to Inspect
Willow Run

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is Up
- The Senate War Investigating
Committee projected an inquiry
into conditions al the Willow
Run bomber plant in Michigan
today in the hope, as one mem
Der put it, of getting production
into top speed. F"
Chairman Truman (D-Mo) said
that virtually all members of the
committee would make per-
sonal inspection OF Willow Run
on Friday and that hearing at
Washington would follow "at
which we will get all the facts :"
The Willow Run investigation
will be one of two such inquir-
les. On Thursday the committee
will inspec: the Curtiss-Wright
plant at Columbus, Ohio.
There has been SO little pro-
duction at either plant as to
amount TO virtually none" Tru-
man said IN on interview.
A subcommittee, possibly in
Guiding Senator Homer Fergu-
son, Michigan Republican, will
carry out he formal investiga-
ton, Truman said, however, that
most members would take part.
The subcommittee will be
headed by Senator Wallgren Cd
WASH. Commenting on the cir
cumstances at both plants, Wall
gren said apparently there has
been practically no production
to amount to anything but all we
have heard as to why have been
rumors."
In a report last Saturday the
Office of War Information said
Willow Run was operating at
"only a small fraction of its ul-
innate potential but that peak
production might be reached
within a year.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l6-R
-Favorite word in the con-
gressional dictionary these days
is parity"
What does 1t means?
Well, farm parity, as applied
to farm prices, means q yard
stick set up by Congress in
1893 with the idea of putting
agriculture on a level of eco
nomic equality with business,
industry and labor in getting a
fair share Of national income.
It's a formula for figuring
farm prices on the basis of prices
which farmers have to pay for
the things they need. It's used
in comparison with prices dur
ing a base" period - usually
the pre-world war / years Of
1909-14, a period of relative
agricultural prosperity.
Farm state lawmakers say the
yardstick now isn't long enough
that farm labor costs should
be added onto it.
At present the agriculture de-
partment has a "flooI"-a min
imum-under farm prices at,
generally speaking, 80 per cent
of parity (not figuring in ben
eft payments).
The administration Is opposing
any change in the parity for
mula.
It's idea, as expressed by Eco
nomic Stabilizer James F.
Byrnes, is to keep the yard
stick the same, but provide Gin
centive payment" to farmers
during wartime to give them
additional money needed to in
crease production of crops
which are scarce (money for
additional equipment, for in
stance) - thus keeping the price
of food to the consumer un-
changed. (Of course, the tax
payer would foot the bill even
tually in terms Of taxes.)
Figuring of prices under the
parity formula is done by the
agriculture departments bu-
reau of agricultural economics.
Its practise has been to send
missionaries every month to
10000 volunteers, considered
representative farmers and mer-
chants, throughout the country,
