Hartford, June 21 - The reitera- ton of Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin that he was retiring from politics, and the announcement of Rep. E. Lea Marsh, Jr., Old Lyme Republi- can, that he was candidate for Heutenant-governor, produced the outstanding news on the Connecti- cut political front today.
 Governor Baldwin, in a letter to Republican State Chairman Harold E. Mitchell, repeated what he had said half dozen times before, that he was quitting politics and would devote his entire time to a position with Hartford insurance firm, which he will assume when his term expires. He had been urged by Rep. Glare Boothe Luce and former State Chairman J. Kenneth Brad ley to consider the senatorial nom- ination.
 Marsh's name came to the fore ground last night when he an- nounced his candidacy at a meet ing of the Old Lyme Town Com mittee, which gave him unanimous endorsement. The committee also endorsed Charles Jewett of Lyme for Congress from the 2d District. Jewett formerly served in the Legis- lature and recently was released from the Navy.

Meot Dearth Here Ren1oins Serious
 Officials Differ as
 To Cause; Probe
 Underway

Withholding of meat from con- sumers in the expectancy that price controls would be eased greatly or lifted entirely, permitting higher profits, was today blamed as in spring the black markets.
 Stanley Crute state OPA director referred to recent charges by the Office of Economic Stabilization and Department of Agriculture to the effect that some wholesale meat houses were withholding meat from the consumers market.
 Crute was answering charges by unidentified packing house men in Waterbury who have charged the OPA with failure to combat the black market in meats.
 Packing house members had charged also that only 36,O00 pounds of beef had been distributed in this area in the past two weeks.
 Report on Shipments
 Crute today declared that the Waterbury freight yard authorities informed him that during the past two weeks the following distribu- tion was made:
 Armour received two full ecar- loads and parts of six others. Cud- ahy received five full carloads and Swift received one full car and parts of three others, according to the records of the freight office"
 Packing house officials today took issue with the claims stating that little beef was contained in any of the cars. In many instances the cars were said to have contained little meat of any kind and what was there was assorted and containing little beef.
 Probe Goes On
 We have been making top to bottom black market investigation in Waterbury, "Crute declared. This the packing house men know and we intend to keep it going.
 John J. Driscoll secretary of the State C.I.O. Council defended OPA and attacked packing house repre- sentatives as agents of propaganda seeking to destroy OPA." The C.I.O. has undertaken a survey of it's own to determine the extent of the black market here.
