0PA Announces Details
OF Live Cattle Ceilings

The Office of Price Administra-
ton announced today details OF its
fat price ceilings on live cattle, de-
signed to prevent imitation in meat
prices.
The new regulations are based on
a ceiling of $18 per hundredweight
at Chicago and establish "overrid-
ing" maximum prices on cattle and
calves for "a zones and 10 market
centers. They will continue in effect
until July 2 when they will be low
cred so cents per hundred pounds.
Exempted from the new reguIa-
tions are cattle sold for dairy breed
ing purposes, as well as stock mar
keted by recognized farm youth Or
ganizations such as Al Clubs.
In the past price ceilings had
been established for retail meat
dealers as well as wholesalers but
none had been fixed on live cattle
sold to slaughterers by stockmen
The regulations are designed to
bring price control at the bottom
level and prevent pressure on whole
salers and retailers which might
result in eventual imitation of prices

power" Mr.. Murray wrote. 1T Is
the result. of an unbelievable series
of errors and misjudgments by high
ranking officials in the WPB and
other Government agencies.
TT can be corrected. not by un-
justly and inaccurately shouting
manpower shortage, but by concert
ed and cooperative efforts of labor,
management and Government"

Anti-PoII Tax Groups
Open Fight 10 Unseat
7o House Members
By the Associated Press.


ROANOKE, Va, Jan 29.-The
Southern Electoral Reform League
and another organization interested
in repeal of the poll tax have begun
taking depositions here through
which they hope to convince Con-
gress it should invalidate the elec-
ton of some or all of 10 members of
the House elected from eight South
ern States which have the poll tax
as a prerequisite for voting.
The dispositions are being taken
by commissioner in chancery. The
organizations cite the comparatively
smaller votes cast in the Southern
congressional districts against those
in Eastern States which do not have
a poll tax
Lawyer Is First Witness.
The first witness was Moss Punk
EFT, Roanoke lawyer, who is presi-
dent of the Southern Electoral Re-
form League and vice president of
another organization called Parents
and Wives of Fighting Americans
Inc"
None of the members of Congress
notified OF the contest appeared at
the start of the deposition taking
Saturday, but Arthur Dunn, New
York lawyer, who is president of the
parents and wives organization and
vice president of the reform league.
said AZ filed mimeographed denials
that their elections were invalid.
Mr.. Dunn said it was recorded in
the dispositions that members of the
House Judiciary Committee had ad-
vised the Representatives to make
a uniform reply and that the league
objected that this made Congress
defense attorney in elections which
1t also must judge.
Cites 14th Amendment.
Citing section 2 of the 14th
amendment to the Constitution,
Mr.. Plunkett put into the record the
argument that the poll tax should
curtail Southern representation in
Congress proportionately to the
number of citizens kept from voting
by the poll tax.
He said the eight poll tax States
with 24,00O,000 people, cast 3,118,87O
votes In the last presidential elec-
ton. while New York and Pennsyl-
vania, with 100000 people, cast
l0.111,577. The poll tax States have
79 Representatives, New York and
Pennsylvania 78.
The poll tax States are Alabama
Georgia, South Carolina. Texas,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee
and Virginia.
