\OOuCluueQ rom Page D arose yesterday after the OPA ordered the restoration of meat-dish prices to the old level.
 The owner of a popular central luncheonette complained that his prices today are back to the old level, but the meat he's serving was bought at non-OPA prices some time ago.
 Menu Still Unfair
 Numerous other restaurateurs said likewise that the meat they are serving today and will serve tomorrow was bought at old prices" and not the current OPA ceilings.
 But even when the current meat supply gives out, the controlled menu prices will still be unfair, the local restaurant managers com- plained.
 MT. Genlot pointed out that menu lists are now at the price level of April 4, 1943 The current OPA meat prices, however, are 30 per cent higher than they were April 4, 1943, he said. ITO say nothing of the black market prices" he added.
 The effect of the new OPA meat price controls has been a boost in prices, MT. Genlot said in referring to the return of black market activ- itieS.
 Example Given
 He gave this as an example. On the uncontrolled market, the price of frankfurters was Al cents. The OPA lowered the price to 33 cents a pound The black marketeer came in and said "33 cents a pound plus 15 cent bonus" Consequently the purchase price is 48 cents a pound instead of Al.
 The National restaurant advisory committee is scheduled to meet in Washington Sept 26 and recommend that the OPA take off controls at the retail level for restaurants. The Connecticut organization and others throughout the country will back the request.
 One central restaurant, which serves variety of beef, lamb, pork, and other meats, today printed the following menu: frankfurts, corned beef, chicken-pot pie, meat loaf, ham and eggs; cheese omelette, plain omellette, hot turkey sand wich, bacon and eggs.
 Trhn sajI still enough sandwich meat, but that it had to be bought from re- tailers and not wholesalers.
 Another large downtown restau- rant still had some sirloin, and chopped beef. It's other meat-dishes were lamb stew, and kidney omel- cite.
 Still Get Fish
 Thank goodness we can still get fish," one restaurateur commented, in reporting that he was experi- encing difficulty even in getting a sufficient amount of poultry.
 Housewives today were drawing on their supply of canned meat, or else serving meat-lesS meals, it was ir1- dicated by the absence of any meat at counters today.
 Local hospitals reported today that the meat shortage situation was becoming more serious. Only 8 small amount of meat is deliv- cred daily, it was reported. "The wholesalers are very cooperative and give us meat if they have it, but they just don't seem to have it." a Waterbury Hospital official commented.
 The hospitals are serving fish more often, and have added more poultry and other meatless dishes to stretch the meat supplies for pa tients who require meat menus
