nesday and ordered new live
stock price ceilings which will
raise retail beef prices 512
cents a pound and pork 212
cents over June levels.
Under the new price control law,
OPA has no choice but to put the
higher ceilings into effect within 10
days, despite Price Administra-
tor Paul Porter's open and bitter
opposition to any hike in meat
prices at this time.
Anderson's order apparently was
issued with the full approval of the
White House, which was forced to
intervene as referee after the two
officials failed to agree.
The new retail prices will be
considerably below present meat
costs, which have been uncontroll-
ed since the old OPA law expired
on June 80, but they will be well
above the level advocated by Por-
ter.
Further Delay
It was expected that Anderson's
peremptory order would force a

of meat ceilings, which Presiden.
