Come and get it was the cry
of the meat packing industry to
the public today following re-
moval of all meats except be -
steaks and beef roastS from
rationing
Packers asserted they had
heavy supplies of meat items,
particularly pork, and would be
gratified to see the public de-
mand expand. A similar atti-
tude was taken by the National
Retail Meat Dealers Association.
The one item which appeared
to be in the greatest over-supply
was bacon, which the American
Meat Institute has been urging
the public to eat in increasing
amounts for the past several
weeks. Pork loins were the only
pork product in which stocks
were not considered excessive.
EXPRESS SURPRISE
Meat industry spokesman ex-
pressed surprise at the broad
scope of the Office of Price Ad-
ministration order. While some
action regarding pork was sntic-
ipated, it '&as not believed that
it would extend also TO all lamb
and most beef.
Supplies of lamb are ade-
quate, but not excessive. and a
similar condition prevails with
most beef items, packers said,
There is no reason now why
meat should not be on all men

Meat Dealers Association, as
