OPA Packers Join HuddIe
By INN HICKS

Washington, March % - C0.PD The once of Price Administra- ton went into a huddle with meat packers today to seek a solution to a price situation which packers said was causing them to go bankrupt or turn to black market outlets.
 The conference began as OPA boosted point values for pork. lard and margarine for April. warning thta further cuts in civilian meat could be expected in May and June.
 The suggestion that OPA get to- gether with the meat packers was made by Chairman Elmer Thomas, D.. Okla, of the special senate food Investigating committee following . week of hearings on meat.
 Thomas said he believed the evil dence so far showed that unless OPA gave packers some sort of price relief, the armed forces would get 60 per cent less meat than they are now getting and every tree will be q black market slaughterhouse."
 Packers complained to the com mittee that OPA ceiling prices were forcing them to lose money. They accused OPA of causing both the meat shortage and the black mar ket.
 Deputy Price Administrator James F. Brownlee, who appeared before the committee yesterday, took violent exception" to the Packers charge. He challenged the Packers to supply the OPA with actual dollars and cents figures" on their profits and losses and said If OPA is wrong 1t would be glad to change.
 One Packer who said he lost $80,- 900 since December acknowledged that his 1914 profits before taxes were greater than his peacetime average.
 The Senate Committee will con- tinue its hearings next week when 1t will go into the problems Of cat- tie feeders, growers. and whole- salers. The new House Food Com mlttee scheduled a closed session today, presumably to complete its preparations for opening its own inquiry.
 Meanwhile. there were these de- velopments on the food front:
 l. Foreign Economic Administra- tor co T. Crowley told Congress lend-lease shipments cannot be blamed for beef and veal shortages. He said they were less than one percent of total supply.
 ?. The United States and Bri- tain announced jointly that the en- tire food supply and requirements problem will be re-appraised in the light of an increasingly critical" situation.
 3. Secretary of Agriculture Claude A. Wickard advised Con- gress that the current shortage was caused by huge military demands
 4. Thomas F.. Wilson, chairman of the board of Wilson and Con- pany. one of the big four packers, predicted that the government would have to take over the meat industry if the war continued three or four more years and OPAs "un- Amcrican" regulations were not changed.

 A settlement out of court was rAaahAd today in the $500 civil action brought by Helen F. Vein berg Mitkowsky of Waterbury against Alfred Baker, also of this city. Announcement of the settle nrent was made in common pleas Nist before the case was to go into It's third day of trial before Judge Miles F. McNifl.
 The plaintiff brought the suit for alleged faulty construction of her home at Stephana lane and Will liamson drive. She claimed the de- Yendant did not perform the work Sn accordance with contract Speci- fications.
 In a decision handed down today. Superior Court Judge rFank P. Mo- Evoy denied motion to set aside the defendantS' verdict in the $26.- 900 civil action brought by Mrs. Jo- sephine Kean of Waterbury against Margaret and William Grinold Of Wallingford. the Methodist Epis- copal church of Wallingford, and the town of Wallingford.
 The verdict was returned by a jury March l3, by direction of Judge McEvoy. Arguments on the motion to set aside the verdict were pre- sented last Friday
 Mrs. Kean brought the suit to re- cover for injuries aJn. IS. l044 in a sidewalk fall in front of the 0rinold property in Wallingford.
 The denial of the motion to set aside the directed verdict is ex- pected to be made a basic for an appeal by the plaintiff to the state supreme court of errors.
