Price Limit, Rationing OF
Meat Would Be First
Consideration

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1-WD-
Secretary of Commerce W.
Averell Hartman said today
that, if Congress approves, the
administration would consi-
der restoring price controls and
rationing of meat sat once"
He predicted that failure to
impose such "selective" curbs
On rising living costs might
make it necessary later to "put
on the brakes by some type OF
general freeze of prices and
wages.
Hartman appeared before the
House Banking committee to re.
new the Presidents campaign
for anti-inflation legislation
amid growing signs that most of
the program will be rejected.
Chairman Jesse P. Wolcott,
R., Mich, who reported that his
own mail is running "99 to L"
against controls, tried to pin
Hartman down on specific ad-
ministration plans to use the
emergency powers if the COP
controlled Congress should
grant them.
In response to his persistent
questioning, Hartman said:
'Meat is the greatest difficult
ty today and would be given at
tention at once" An anticipated
shortage next spring coulped
with high prices, "might sci off
an inflationady spiral that would
be serious"
Steel Second
He said that second priority
would be given to steel and that
an attempt would be made to
"stamp out the gray market
write ALLEGATIONS and price cell
ings."
Textiles, aluminium, building
aterials and newsprint were
mother commodities which he S
aidneed attention. In these indus
tries, he added, leaders would
would be "ualled in for ronfer-
ences."

that they would be imposed only

Late in the day the House For

proved legislation authorizing a

gram for France, Italy, Austria

The committee hopes to bring
the bill before the House Wednex-

While there Is no specific

That would leave $53O,OO0,0 900

STREAMLINED PIG
TAKES SHOW SPOT
Less Hoggish Porker Roots
Its Way To Attention OF
Top Breeders

CHICAGO, Dec. 1-WD- The
International Livestock Show
was jammed today with prize
winning animals of all types but
the spotlight was on a single
pig.
The pig is a streamlined, 1948
model-longer, leaner and, n
manner of speaking, less hog
gish than previous models. It's
called Minnesota No. l and was
roofing around the livestock ex-
position today showing off its
hams.
1t took some of the attention
away from a ord-breaking
total of 1880 animals which pa
raded before judges for analy-
sis and elimination in the search
for grand champions.

sofa and doesn't look much Like
ordinary pigs. The snout looks
as though it had been designed
for funnel. The body is
streamlined and gets bigger to-
ward the hindquarters.
Nine-Year Task
The pig was the result Of re-
search by DR.. L. M. Winters Of
the university staff to develop
an animal giving more pork on
less feed. It took him nine
years, but he discovered that it
required only 313 pounds of feed
to add 100 pounds of pork to the
new kind of hog.
When Minnesota No. / was
crossed with another inbred
line, the offspring gained 100
