Black Market
Reported Here
In Utility Beef
Housewives Claim
Points Are Demanded
For Lower Grades

District Office of Price Admins
tration officials disclosed today thew
had received hundreds" of calls
from housewives complaining that
they had purchased point-free utility
beef for which they had to surrender
ration points and extra money.
officials admitted that the black
market had been operating for some
time in meat and grocery stores
nrst starting in August, when some
meats were made point-free.
They were unable to say how wide
spread the practice is, although the
number of calls received at OPA
headquarters would indicate that
the practice might be widespread.
An OPA food expert gave this ex-
planation of the racket:
Help Shortage a Factor.
Storekeepers are continually har-
assed by manpower difficulties and
experience difficulty in keeping
butchers. Butchers must produce a
certain number of red ration points
1or the amount of meat sold each
day. Encouraged by tips from
regular customers, butchers will
sometimes sell better grades of meat
to these people without points.
Thus, in order to make up for a
point deficit, he is selling other Gus
toners utility beef as the higher
grade cuts which require ration
points.
This official suggested that Gus
toners in doubt about the grade of
meat they are buying should ask to
see the Government graded stamp.
If the meat carries a &C" stamp.
1t is utility and point-free. If it's
stamped IA" "a" or B" it has
been graded as choice. good or COM
mercial meat and requires red ra-
ton points.
Fears GrOcers Involved.
He claimed that some grocers,
whose working capital of points has
been reduced through carelessness,
may be working in cooperation
with the butcher in the racket.
/ The OPA is handicapped in op-
Grating against the racket bv a lack
OF data of the amount of utility
meats being shipped into the city.
They believe, however, that about
30 per cent of meat coming in it

War Prisoner Camp Advocated
In Montgomery to Aid Farmers
Need Is Cited to Meet increased
Production Schedules Next Spring

Mr.. Anderson pointed out thai
some prisoners had to be trans.
ported so miles to farms across the
county from Fort Meade and coule
only be counted on for about sia
and half hours of work day.
The county agent said the last
bus would have to be relinquishec
by December Is, but added that the
corn harvesting was nearly over sc
that the problem really would not
arise again until early spring.
While inexperienced, prisoners oi
war have been adequate workmen
he said, and there had been no at.
tempts at sabotage or escape. Fol
that reason, he added, farmers hope
the camp idea will be considered.
Visualize Camp for 200.
Farm officials visualize a camp for
about 200 prisoners of war. While
the first harvest Is due early in
June, Mr.. Anderson said the farmers
could begin using 200 prisoners about
May l. Transportation problems
would be solved because the farmers
could pick up their own workmen
from the camp, Mr.. Anderson said.
I'VE have been asked to increase
production as much as per cent on
some crops the county agent said
but l don't know if it can be done
unless we get the labor to do it,"
Both county and State farm off,
cials agreed the farm labor picture
will be tighter in the coming year
than at any time since the war. Va
cationists and others who volun-
teered previously to help with crop
harvesting no longer are responding
to these patriotic appeals, the farm
officials asserted.
Meanwhile, veterans who are
trickling back into industry to re-
place drafted men are not going
back to the farms, another farm Off
cial said, because they have learned
how to do something else in the
service which will pay them higher
wages.

NEW YORK, Feb. ID --(R)--
Anna Mayer. 81, who has been
hiccupping for as days, was ia
ken to Kew Gardens Hospital
early today where Capt. Lester
Samuels of the Army Medical
Corps, on emergency leave to
attend the stricken girl. will
perform an operation.
g.. Capt. Samuels arrived at Miss
Mayors home at 4:30 a. m.

nr1inary examination. ordered
the girl, who has lost "a pounds
in weight, to the hospital.
"She is in a very critical con-
dition," he said, very much
worse than when l treated her
before"
Miss Mayer was confident,
however, that the captain could
again save her life. Two years
ago he performed delicate
operation when she was seized
with a 42-day siege of hiccups.
She smiled family when the
Army doctor entered her room
and said: ooh, captain, I'm so
glad you have come. l know I'll
get we'll"
Beside her bed were more
than 100 letters and kilograms
from persons offering home
remedies for her malady - all
discarded. She has maintained
that Capt. Samuels was the only
person who could help her.
Miss Mayer had appealed to
President Roosevelt to intercede
for her in securing leave for
Capt. Samuels. The President
referred the request to the Ar
my's surgeon general with a fav-
orable recommendation and the
War Department granted the
physician a leave.
: Lieut.. Edwin Green of the Ar
my's Transportation Corps who
accompanied Capt. S m u s
here, denied previous reports
that an earlier application for
leave for the doctor had been
denied.
