WASHINGTON, Aug. % -PC
An about drive against black
market operations in meat with
an army of $500 enforcement
agents was mapped here Thurs
day by OPA as officials rushed
work on computing new ceilings
for all meats.

double that used under former

1--WE plan a very vigorous drive
and expect to stop all violations,
Gruber told a reporter. Our aim
is to keep meat prices within
reach of the general public
through a rigid enforcement OF
ceilings at all levels"
Gruber formerly was chief Of
the OPA litigation section.
Field offices throughout the

Her tiller ropes were severed by

NO TINY TINKLE - The world
is full of bells-the Liberty Bell,
the Inchcape Bell, the Bells of St.

Alexander Graham Bells bells, and
the bells mice tie around the necks

few.
If all the bells in the world were

would be enough to confuse even a

Further, it would give him a

The City Engineering depart

afternoon for bids on the materials
it will use in constructing water
and sanitary sewer systems in
the newly-annexed city areas. j..
A. Loughlin, the departments
head, said yesterday.
The new bond issue authorizes
the expenditure of $3.50, 900 on the
two projects, Laughlin said.
The city council will meet at
10 a. M. Sept. 10 to open the bids.
The Engineering department
will seek to acquire the necessary
pipe in order to take over COM

construction of the projects by
