toward me-and that settled that.
She was tiny then, undersized and

Deciding to adopt Bella was one
thing, but overcoming red tape was
another. When >Sergt. Simons in

By the Associoted Press

KANSAS CITY, April 24.-OPA
officials declared yesterday that a
30-day investigation of the meat
packing situation here, conducted
on orders from Washington. had
convinced them big packers can op-
crate at profit under OPA ceiling
prices, but instead are lust refus-
ing to buy" cattle for slaughter
Dick F. Bennett ana Joe Koral-
chik, OPA enforcement attorneys,
made the assertions.
"All we can see in this picture is
that the packers are just refusing
70 buy Mr.. Bennett said as he
consulted comparative data for the
first three months of 1945 and 1916
Slaughter Cut to Minimum.
There is no question but that il
they want to buy they can 60 in

The Big Four packers (Wilson

tending they cannot bid against
small order buyers for cattle in the
open market under OPA ceilings
have cut their beef slaughter to 6
minimum and have laid off hun.
dreds of employees in recent weeks.
Mr.. Bennett conceded the Big
Four face stiff competition from
increased number of small packers
and Eastern buyers, but he at
tributed to them lack Of serious
effort to continue operations.
I'VE have sent men to watch the

Statements Challenged.
E. w. Phelps, general manager of
the Swift & Co. plant, declared he
would "be very happy to have Mr.
Bennett and Mr.. Koralchik come
over and show us how" to operate
at profit under OPA.
Il have been IN this business IS
years" Mr.. Phelps continued. land
I am fascinated by the fact that
two lawyers can show such superior
ability that they can make few
casual observations and then tell us
what We can do.
With their limited experience, thu
people in OPA are not qualified tt
criticize men who have spent theil
lives in the meat packing business,
Mr.. Phelps added. Il wonder i
that's not just what is wrong with
the entire OPA setup"
Mr.. Bennett cited figures showing
that one packer during January
l945, killed 1920. head of cattle
bought for s9,1S9 900. and stayee
under compliance by 100000. II
January of this year the same pack.
