ing hungry"
The real fireworks on the food
situation, however were provided
at a Senate Banking Committee
hearing.
It was there that Price Chief
Chester Bowles accused the meat
packers of causing newspaper
headlines OF famine" He said ''the
facts do not justify the scare
stories.''
Bowles conceded that civilian
meat Certainly will be shorter
than at any time during the war,
but said the situation arises from
'the extraordinary needs of the
war effort" He emphasized that
the shortage "would not be reliev-
ed in any degree by higher re-
turns to packers.
"OPA will not be stampeded in
to giving price increases he said.
Answering complaints by Amer
lean Meat Institute representa-
tives that OPA was ''price-fixing
us into bankruptcy, he said that
packer profits in 1943. even after
taxes, were NEARLY two and half
times those of 1936-39." He said
1914 profits before taxes were al
most seven times greater than
during the 1869 period.
The Meat Institute said it was
true that 1914 was a generally prof
ieable year for the Industry, but
that ''the important point. is
that this is another year, a greatly
different year." It said numerous
packers have lost money on re-
cent pork operations and that OPA
has failed to appreciate and
evalue fully the tremendous
change in the meat situation. -
1t denied that its quest for a
fair and equitable margin" was
an attack on price control. And i:
said it was hopeful OPA would
grant the relief necessary to enable
to industry to do an effective job.

Mine Farley Recessed
For Informal Meeting

WASHINGTON, March 21.-lR-
A critical point in negotiations be-
tween United Mine Workers and
soft coal operators was reached to-
day. The main conferences were
recessed to permit informal talks
between key operators and John L..
Lewis.
On the progress attained at
these private discussions depends
the success of the current nego-
tiation, in the opinion OF many
of the conferes.
The conference recessed indefi-
nitely in the morning, then fixed
10 am. tomorrow as the tentative
hour for recovering the main ne
gotiations.
Edward R. Burke, head of the
Southern Coal Producers Associa-
ton, said the more intimate dis
cussions between the principals
had been decided upon as "a diff
ferent tack" because the main con-
ference appeared deadlocked.
Charles O'Neill, speaking for all
the operators yesterday, told news
men that with only 10 days left
to work under the present con-
tract, expiring March 81, no prog
ress had been made towards writ
ing new one.
