Kansas Senators
AssaiI Cattle Cei|inqs

Senators Reed and Capper OF
Kansas, Republicans, are vigorously
protesting plans of the Once OF
Price Administration to place q
ceiling on live cattle.
Senator Reed declared Yesterday
that the plan. bitterly opposed by
Western cattlemen. would result in
"a meat shortage. He said the No
vember average of cattle weights
had dropped from 929 pounds in
l930-40 to 885 pounds in 1914. With
a ceiling on live cattle, he added,
feeders would market at the first
opportunity. resulting in a meat
shortage"
Meanwhile, Senator Capper urged
Fred M. Vinson, economic stabiliza =
ton director. to hear the views of
representative cattlemen before
ruling on OPA's plan for a ceiling.
The Kansan wrote Mr.. Vinson that
he feared the OPA was not familiar
with the problem involved in pro-
ducing, fattening and marketing
cattle He pointed out. too, that the
OPA had failed to obtain approval
of the War Food Administration for
its plan, adding that the latter Or
ganization was in closer touch than
the former with meat production.
Hearings and consultations being
held in Chicago and Kansas City by
OPA representatives constitute
merely formal compliance with the
law, Senator Capper said. Cattle
men. he added, are being told
rather than consulted at these con-
ferenceS.

A new champion rose up today
to snatch the Dies Committee from
the grave into which the House
leadership hopes to shove it at mid
night Januarys2.
Just when almost every one else
on Capitol Hill had taken it for
granted that the committee, set up
In 1888 to investigate un-American
activities. would be allowed to ex-
pire next week, Representative
Rankin, Democrat, Of Mississippi
rushed to It's rescue.
The MissisMppian announced he
would offer resolution continuing
the committees life as soon as the
Seventy-ninth Congress convenes
January 3.
And, he predicted, 1T will be
passed bya margin of two or three
to one"
Other Democrats, however, and
many Republicans failed to share
Mr.. Rankins belief. They pointed
to the tacit opposition of the House
leadership and to the feeling of
some Republican higherups that any
new committee might turn into "a
whitewash group"
Mr.. Rankin's chief obstacle to
passage of his resolution is the hard
boiled House Rules Committee,

Andersen Says 0PA
Cheated Housewives
By Rationine Change

A charge that the War Food
Administration was "by-passed"
and not consulted when the
Off1ce of Price Administrator
announced drastic changes in
food rationing this week was
made today by Representative
Andersen, Republican, of Mime
sofa.
A member of the Republican
Food Study Committee, Mr.. Andre
sen accused the OPA and Economic
Sterilization Director Fred Vinson
of having cheated thrifty American
housewives" when the order in
validating all red and blue ration
stamps issued before December l
was announced Christmas day.
He cited the recent Agriculture
Department annual summary of
crop production which told Of the
highest total food production in
history. Il hate to see my Govern
ment deliberately cheat patriotic
Americans who are doing every
thing possible to help win the war
and back their boys on the fight
ing 'front.'" he declared I'VE need
more honesty on the part of our
officials in their dealing with the
people"
Surpluses Fail to Develop.
Mr.. Andersen recalled a speech he
made in the House last May in which
he predicted that after the election
"the New Deal will reinstate and
make more drastic all rationing pol
icies to further regiment and social
ize the economy of our country"
In announcing the changes, Price
Administrator Bowles declared that
surpluses Of food that were expected
when the European war looked far
more near its end, simply have not
developed"
Meanwhile, the city's food retail
ers continued to operate under the
new regulations without of1lcial ra-
ton point charts which are due to
be mailed this week from New York
Volunteers Sought.
A District OPA official said the
agency lacked the facilities to print
and mail out the charts. In the
past this operation has been done
by the regional office in New York,
he said :
Lack of manpower in the local
Office forced Director Robert K.
Thompson to appeal for volunteers
to mail notices to 1890 institutional
and industrial food users informing
them OF an inventory they must take
of ration accounts as of Decem-
ber 81.
Workers are wanted at Ration
