came out with her face looking
ever so serious. Her mind was
in a whirl, and she lodged the
crowd which would surely re-
cognize. her, ducked up stair
way and went TO the big wo-
mems lounge. First person she
spotted there was Lorraine
Stuart.
Pat stopped in her tracks.
II wouldn't do to antagoniZe
Lorraine. Not any more than had
been done already. This whole
situation, Pat reminded herself,

nix, Ariz., hanging on the OUT
skirts OF all the publicity and all
the excitement and fun OF the
transcontinental soaring flight,
was Captain Cars own fiancee.
The girl who was originally
scheduled TO fly with him, and
who, the public thought, actually
was with him, at least in name.
Only-it was Pat herself who
publicly carried Lorain's name.
The real Lorraine remained a
nonentity, sulking, concealed.
All at once Pat felt a rush OF
sympathy for the other girl.
Whether like her or not has
nothing to do with it," Pat told
herself She just got a dirty
break at the start. And--and
after all-shes the girl Jimmy
loves
That was the fact which stung,
Lorraine Stuart was the girl
Jimmy loved. Pats own love
for Jimmy was a secret which
only two people in the world
knew.
She went TO Lorraine and sat
down. Come on and go places

her. When she spoke again, It
was in a low, sad tone. "All

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The black
market IN meat Is still q flourishink
and prosperous business in case any
one Is entertaining optimistic mo-
tons to the contrary. And a consen.
slls Of authorities In Washington
puts the biggest share Of blame on
the collision that goes on across
the counters Of thousands Of Amer
ica's butcher shops.
During the past six months the
government has taken some effec.
tive steps toward black market con-
troll. The Department Of Agrioul-
lures system Of slaughter permits
almost wiped out the wasteful and
llnsanitary practice OF country
slaughtering." The Office of Price
Administration has improved civil
ian supplies by setting aside the
'set-aside" order which earmarked
Q percentage Of each large packers
produce for government purchase.
And through point rationing and
dollar-and-cents ceilings, OPA has
made ignorance q woefully poor ex-
/cuse for the black-market patron or
operator.
But It doesn't do much good for
OPA and Agriculture to throw the
book at the black-marketeer II he
Is able TO hide behind the house,

tenn pole. and not much more eff
fective.
IF we could make buys" one en-
forcement official says, I'VE could
increase our deficiency 80 per
cent"
There are two more shackles that
OPA can't do much about. One Is
the tremendous consumer demand.
The other Is the lack Of q ceiling
price on live beef animals.
But 1t Is no secret that livestock
men like this arrangement, and
that they are fighting ceilings. And
Agriculture, which would have to
concur in any livestock ceiling move,
isn't opposing them very strongly.
NEED BIGGER STAFF
OPA would be considerably hap
pier II It could increase its present
staff Of 200 covering meat viola
lions. These investigators can get
around regularly to the big pack
ers, but It Is impossible for them to
do. much about the country's 1885,
600 retail meat stores.
In spite Of handicaps, however,
OPA has managed to make it hot
for q lot Of price and ration viola
tors. Approximately 1000 packers,
wholesalers and retailers have been
prosecuted under the second War
Power Act, with convictions in more
than 800 cases. That doesn't count
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-09-23

the growing number Of consumers
taken UP, for varying periods, after
conviction Of buying meat without
spending coupons.
Investigation Isn't easy, because
transactions now have an outward
appearance Of legality. You hear
no more stories Of truck-riding
ruStlers or old prohibition mobs in
the meatlegging racket. (Most Of
them weren't true, anyway Black
marketing is now slick and sophis-
ticated. Tightening controls have
forced out most Of the get-rich-
quick racketeers. The black mar
ket today Is largely in the hands
Of men who have been in the meat
business for years, and who know
their way around. No violations
show on invoices, for everything is
on a side-payment basis, strictly
cash.
VOLUNTEERS CAN HELP
Enforcement officers are CRATE
full for the occasional help of a CO.
operative retailer or consumer, and
they are encouraged by the growing
public resentment against black
market patronage.
The agency is hopeful that the
pending addition Of price panels to
existing food ration boards will ease
the difficulty. These volunteer
helpers could check complaints in
formally, and weed out cases of
misunderstood regulations and min
or or inadvertent violations.
But OPA doesn't hesitate to say
that butchers and customers alike
will have to start showing more good
sense and patriotism than they have
to date before the blacak maraket
can be licked.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-09-23

wives skirts. And that Is about
what has happened. OPA enforce
ntent officials have q whole cata-
logue Of willful lodges by which
price attitude are experimenting
consumers with Q meat-at-a
their legal share. Is
Everybody knows the most COM
mon Of these practices: There Is a
grace period after consumers ra-
ton coupons have expired before
retailers must turn them in. SO
many butchers are building UP q
reserve Of unused, expired coupons
which are either solicited or given
voluntarily by regular customers.
Then, when these point-Shy old Gus
toners want to splurge at a later
date. the butcher can slip them q
nice steak or roast, ration free.
BREADLESS SANDWICH"
Besides this familiar dodge, there
are other more Individual and re-
sourceful methods Of getting more
than @ fair share. One New York
woman, for instance, managed to
collect @ main course by touring the
neighboghod delicatessen stores,
asking for Q roast beef sandwich
to take without any bread,
please"-and Of course, giving up
no coupons.
Many consumers today do not
care particularly how much money
they spend, Just SO they don't have
to give up any points. And there
isn't much that OPA can do about
1t, especially since the agency has
to fight this war-born evil while
wearing several pairs Of handouts.
One handicap is the fact that
Congress has forbidden OPA en-
forcement officers to make pur-
chases for evidence. When an officer
receives a tip that a shop Is selling
rationed meat without collecting
points, all he can do is stand
around the store with his hands in
his pockets. and watch. This makes
him about as inconspicuous as to-
