OPA Plans Campaign
Against Black Market

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 [P.-The
strike of packing house workers has
substantially increased" the black
market in meat throughout the
United States, Herman Greenberg,
national director of the OPA'S Food
Enforcement Division, said yester-
day.
To combat such a market, Mr..
Greenberg said at a news confer
ence here, investigators have been
assigned to the Chicago stockyards
to record all sales of cattle to inde-
pendent slaughterers. The investi-
gators will trace high-price sales
that indicate that ceilings on the
wholesale level probably will be vio-
lated. he said.
Our reports show gradual
tightening in the meat supply" he
declared. There were plenty of
signs that the meat situation would
become difficult even without the
stoppage in slaughtering. The de-
mand for meat seems unlimited and
purchasing power is unusually high.
The black market in meat has
increased substantially throughout
the country as a result of the strike
in the packing houses. We believe
that the difficult situation in meat
will continue through spring even
though the strike may end before
that"

Argentina Answers
Cabot Charge Of Aid.
To Ex-Nazi Papers
Py the Associa ted Press

Py the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 19.-The
Argentine government last night
replied to assertions by American
Charge d'Affaires John Cabot that
1t was making newsprint available
to the successors" of newspapers
once subsidized by Germany by say
ing the action was taken in order
to permit the free expression of
idess. 80
diplomat in Argentina, said in a
press conference Thursday night
that the governments activities in
making the newsprint available to
such papers "is one reason relations
between Argentina and the United
States are not SO cordial as they
should be between the two Amer
icas."
A declaration issued by the Sec
retary Of Industry and Commerce
last night said Mr.. Cabot's charges,
possibly for lack of information,
did not interpret exactly that which
occurred"
The statement then explained that
the secretary had called paper i'm
porters and told them, "the govern
ment desired an equitable distribu-
ton Of paper to be utilized by all
dailies of whatever politics under
the same conditions and at the same
prices"
Only IL this manner, the state
ment said, could the Government
assure true liberty of expression,
which otherwise would be subject to
pressure by certain interests and
would make liberty of expression
illusory."
The statement added that as a
result of talks with importers, 600
tons of paper were put at the dispo-
sition of the government, which
already had distributed 100 tons and
is now considering requests from
small provincial papers.
The newspaper La Epoca, pro-gov-
ernment daily named by Mr.. Cabot
as employing some personnel of ex-
tinct pro-German papers, said it
hired the employees for their pro-
fessional ability and not for their
opinions.
The paper added that the present
military government was. not in of =
flee at the time the Germans were
paying some Argentine papers, and
asserted that when it came into
power it shut down pro-German
papers.
