in by the end of this week. 1ne
supply will not be enough to 60
around for some time. they add.
Varying explanations were given
for reported -rocketing prices in
q few stores where meat suddenly
appeared yesterday after removal of
price controls.
Some locally killed meat is rech-
| ing the market. C. o. Yowell of the
Chevy Chase Supply Co, $500 Con-
necticut avenue NV, said he had
on hand II freshly killed cattle from
his farm near Germantown, Md.
In addition he said he bought %
head yesterday in Culpeper, Va.
He said these have been slaughtered
in Frederick, Md. and are now being
processed for sale.
Mr.. Yowell said there is nothing
to justify wildcat prices and he is
determined to maintain equitable
prices" He gave these prices as of
today: Boneless rump roast, IS
cents pound; round steak, rs cents;
sirloin, 95 cents: porterhouse or
T-hone steak, $1.10; boneless pot
roast, IS cents, and prime rib roast,
SO cents.
Explanation Offered.
A chain store official remarked
that some of those dealers may
have had a comparatively small
supply on hand and had planned to
spread it out" in selling over as
long a period as possible. The end
of controls and the prospect of
more meat within another week or
two may have caused them to put
all their supplies on the counters
for immediate sale, he said.
While prices at a few establish
ments with meat yesterday shot up
as much as Is cents pound above
OPA ceilings, industry representa-
tives declared this was no sign that
costs to the consumer will be cor
respondingly high when meat ar
rives in quantity.
They agreed, however, that prices
will be higher than the now abol-
ished ceilings. They contended
that no one in the Washington mar
ket and probably no one in packing
centers or on the range today can
say what the price pattern will be
on the producer, wholesale or retail
level.
Tie-in Buying Ends.
In Mr.. Danzansky's opinion pack
ers and dealers do not want to
court public protests by allowing
prices to get far out of line. He
explained also that decontrol of
meat prices has ended the tie-in
system whereby some dealers had to
buy poultry in order to obtain beef.
Removal of meat price controls
has not yet been reflected in eating
place menus a representative OF the
Washington Restaurant Association
said. Reports indicate neither rise
in meat item prices nor an increase
in meat deliveries.
A buyers strike" against exorbi-
tant meat prices became possibility
here as the Washington Committee
for Consumer Protection planned a
meeting tomorrow with representa- =
tives of the CIC Industrial Union
Council and the AFL Central Labor
Union Onhcials of these organiza-
lions said no decision has been
reached.

economy and the meat shortage is
only one dramatic instance of why
these Government orders inevitably
will fail. The Republicans are
frankly opposed to the administra-
tons attempts to dominate the
American system.
| The administrations technique
has been to delude the American
people through Government spend
ing. lending, planning and control
A few weeks before election, the
President suspends all control over
meat. BY Mr.. Truman's veto of the
first OPA bill in June, he is respon-
sible for the lapse of controls in the
first place. Then, Government
agency restored controls after the
second OPA bill was passed Now
the executive branch of the Govern
ment removes these controls again
This is a familiar pattern, before
election. whether it's meat or any
thing else in the field of Govern
ment control.
a Il
! I mention this phase of the situa-
ton because of the manner in which
the administration has abused such
powers in the past. During the late
summer and fall of 1944-shortly
before the election-the admins
tration abolished ration controls on
canned goods and vegetables and
on some meats. With respect to
other meats. the ration point val
ues were changed to the purchaser S
advantage,
The highest responsible officials
of the Government announced at
that time that this lifting of re-
strictions was made possible be-
cause of an improvement in our
food supplies. So, what happened?
The election was held and the ad-
ministration was returned to power
Almost Immediately thereafter II
was alleged that there had been
some serious errors in the estimates
of our food supplies. Controls were
re- established, previous ration point
values were re-instated 1t was at
this stage that Chester Bowles. then
price administrator. announced that
and I quote, Supplies of CONNER
cially canned fruit have been short
for several months" and that civil
ian supplies were, and again I quote
at the lowest point since the war
began" But, of course, in the mean
time. the election had been held.
I am wondering if we are now
to look forward to the prospect OF
reimposition of controls upon
meats as soon as the election OF
1916 has passed into history. That
of course. would be possible only
in the unlikely event that Mr.. Tru-
mans party retains control OF
Congress after November S. You
may be sure that the Republican
/ Congress which will be elected or
that date will never permit thai
kind of trifiing with such an i'm.
portant problem as our nationa
meat supply.
More Than Meat Involved.
The whole point is that no officia
! in the Executive Branch of tht
Government should have power tc
make such far-reaching decisions
Decisions of that nature should bt
made by the Congress of the Unitec
States, the elected Representatives
of the people themselves. 1t is only
because the Democrat Congresse:
have abdicated their Constitutions
powers and duties that 1t is nov

was brought in by the administra-
ton forces.
"He has to blame some one for
increasing prices in order to get
production" i.
Amendments Provisions.
Senator Wherry said his amend
ment provided that if the manu-
facturer were given an increase the
increase should not be passed on to
the jobber, wholesaler and retailer
as cost absorption measure. 1t did
provide. he continued, that the job
ber, wholesaler and retailer have
the average percentagewise markup
they had before the war, based on
current costs.
A substitute for this amendment,
he said, was brought in by the
House-Senate conference which he
said was controlled by administra-
ton forces.
In reference to the President s
explanation that he had to veto the
OPA bill, mainly because of the
Taft and Wherry profiteering
amendments" the Nebraskan said:
THE decontrol of meat amend
ment carried in the Senate ~ to 26.
On decontrol of dairy products, the
vote was So to 27. Those votes were
right at 2-to-1 majority. How can
the President maliciously charge
Senator Taft and me with breaking
down OPA when those amendments
passed 2-to-1-and with the ad-
ministration in control of both
Houses?"
Black Market Blamed.
1.-THE black market was respon-
sible for the failure OF OPA con-
troll of meat Eighty per cent OF
the meat was being sold black mar
ket. 1t made a bootlegger out OF
the housewife. 1t created wholesale
disrespect for law. How much longer
does the President Of the United
States feel the American public
should tolerate conditions such as
these? And this black market was
created by failure of OPA to get
production.
THE President decontrelled meat
because he was afraid that if he
reconvened Congress, as I have been
demanding, the Congress would de-
control it. And he was afraid that
If he failed to reconvene Congress
the new Congress would repeal the
entire OPA when it meets next
January.
The President knew the people
were in revolt against continuance
of OPA ceilings on meat, which were
not getting production.
This was having q disastrous
effect upon Democrats running for
the House and Senate. 1t meant
their defeat. So the President de-
controlled meat for political pur-
poses"
