Cattle Prices

WASHINGTON, March % (UP)
The government today sought to
alleviate the meat shortage by in
creasing the subsidy to cattle
slaughterers. The increase will be
up 10 so cents a hundred pounds.
The plan was announced by
Price Administrator Bowles before
the Senate banking committee!l
His disclosure came after he had
spent two days before the COM
m ittee defending his agency's
meat price policies against heated
criticism of packers and Republi.
can senator's. The critics said pack
ers were going broke.
.ELOOR. PRICE -BAsIC--....--
The additional subsidy will be
based on the amounts paid by
slaughtererS. for live cattle. II will
he computed on the basis of the
amount paid by the individual
slaughterer in excess of the floor"
established for live cattle prices,
and will reach the maximum of 50
cents a hundredweicht when the
slaughterer pays ceiling prices for
cattle.
Spokesman for meat slaugh.
terers and packers told the COM
mittee they are losing money under
present OPA policies and regufa.
tions on handling of both beef and
pork. But Bowles said he thought
the new subsidy will put pack
ers in a reasonably good position" )"
