ly suspend meat controls, or junk
them completely, without requiring
the industry to 60 through with
the petition procedure. But in view
Of the OPA's strong stand for meat
ceilings, agency spokesman held
such voluntary action highly I'm
likely.
2. Tobin's - Officials said they
say little to be gained by the gov
ernment's Selling slaughterine
plants and buying livestock. They
explained that the government car
offer farmers no more than the
slaughtere-s offer, and that it has
no authority to compel farmers tt
sell. These officials took the view
that the shortage reflects unusually
heavy marketings during the July
August period when controls were
off and that there are few hogs
and cattle of desirable weights now
pending further f%attening.

The OPA a few days ago ISSUED
an order designed to assist nospl
tails and other institutions. It re-
ouires meat dealers to supply the
institutions with the full amount
of meat they purchased in 1910 be-
fore the dealers sell any more to
other consumers.
Health Angle
Asked about the effect OF the
meat shortage on the natlcH's
health, an official at the United
States Public Health service told
a reporter:
II would think the meat shortage
hasn't gone far enough OF is severe
enough at the present time to have
had any effect.
"In addition to meat, there are
other animal proteins, such as eggs
and milk, and cereal proteins, such
as wheat and bread. AS long as we
have adequate vegetable proteins
that are supplemented by a fairly
small amount Of good animal pro-
tein. such as meat, milk or eggs,
why the health shouldn't suffer
too badly, in fact it ought to be
okay.
IF the shortage is continued a
long time, and we should run short
on other animal proteins such as
eggs and milk, there probably
would be some people in the popu-
lation who would suffer. Lots OF
v~egetarians get along all right and
I see no reason why most other
people wouldn't do as WE'LL ou'
some wouldn't"

steel for their shipyards, and that

turns are in he and his family may
show a net loss of $1s, 600, 900 for

Rep. Samuel K. Mcconnell, Jr.,

the fact that the government paid
his companies 81, 900, 600, 900 for
their war work, plus $158, 900, 600
for construction of shipyards, and
he asked the industrialist what the
United States got out of that.
Without waiting for the witness
to reply, Mcconnell answered his
question: the Kaiser yards launch

ment service.
Mcconnell said Kaiser had led
