 Said Mead: "In view of the sud- den and almost complete stoppage of livestock shipments, it occurs to ne that an investigation by the Jus tice Department and other govern nent agencies in in order"
 Justice Department officials de- clined to avaluate their findings thus far or to forecast what action, if any, would be warranted. Many government officials felt most with holding of cattle was by farmers who simply refuse to ship their cat tie. No action can be taken against them.

Truman and Hannegan salc Republicans were responsible fol tho shortage because they "cut the near out" of a workable price con- tro. law. Republicans said the cause was Democratic "bungling" The political battle ragged annie these other developments on the meat front:
 1. Justice Department offl- cials said the growing shortage had led to 8 speedup in their antitrust inquiry into possible collision among packers and cattlemen to create short sup plies.
 2. OPA issued an emergency order to assure hospitals, pris- ons and other institutions of involuntary confinement the same percentage of meat they received from their suppliers in 1914. The step was taken at the request of the American Hos pital Association and several congressman.
 3. Large meat packers bluntly told the U. s. Army that it would have to eat fish and chicken and like it-that there wasn't enough meat to meet its priorities for 60.00O,00 pounds a month.
 4. OPA officials promised a decision within few days" on the restaurant industry's fight for modification or elimination of the OPA order rolling back restaurant meat prices to June 30 levels. Meanwhile, the in dustry said it would petition OPA next month to take all ceilings of restaurant prices. The beef industry will file a de- control petition Oct. 8.

ing Byrnes and accusing him of trying to incite a war.
 A foreign correspondent tells about his conversation with a Rus sian scientist who deplored those who discuss atomic energy only in terms of war-when that energy could accomplish miracles in peace. He summed up with this canny analogy: 'To talk of atomic energy in terms of atomic bombs is like talking of electricity in terms of the electric chair"
 The Times informs that the lat est peace conference story going the rounds is about the delegate who dreamed he was making a speech-and woke up to find he was That was also good quip when we quoted it as definition of a bore over six years ago.
 Edwin Pauley's poignant report urging aid for the remaining Jews in Germany contained this moving paragraph: We cannot bring five million dead bodies to life-we can- not breathe the breath of life into the pits of human ash and human bones-we cannot even find the little bodies that once wore the thousands of baby shoes found amongst piles of shoes of every size. But we can take action-and take it now-to make certain that the over one million European Jews who survive the Nazi terror are given chance to live The time for talk has long passed-the time for action is long overdue We have saved them from death-but we have not yet given them chance to live"
 Some members of the State De- partment have attempted to sup press that report. They fear that it will "antagonize the Germans" at time when we are kow-towing to theml That is not just appeasement it is a crime. Those who attempt to aid murderers by suppressing evidence against them-only make themselves accessories to their crimes.
