Romania Reported
Clearing Border Area
by the As.eeioisd Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, July 6.
The official Belgrade radio said
last night that So special trains,
each with about 100 freight cars,
had taken thousands of persons to
IRomanian concentration camps
after forced deportations from a
wide belt on the Romanian side Of
the Yugoslav border.
It appeared that this might be
part OF. spreading move by Rus
Isian-dominated Cominform coun-
tries TO evacuate their territory
bordering on Yugoslavia. This Gre
ated a new apprehension here on
ION the possibility of an invasion.
The radio also reported that
Bulgaria was pushing its frontier
resident inward from the Vidin
and Kula districts. Through this
area passes the road over which
the Red army marched in 1914 to
help Yugoslavia against the Nazis.
The reports of the border move
ments came as a leader of Premier
Marshal Tito'S Communist Party
said Yugoslavia is buying arms
from the United States, Britain
and France because of the hos
tile aggressive policy of the Mos
cow-led Cominform against u.s."

eminent men with whom I talked
in the cattle country.
In Washington, Edward P. Nor
Igan-assistant director for the
Office of Price Solicitations en-
Iforcement agency-says there are
quite a few violations" by slaugh-
terers who ignore the Office Of
Price Sterilization quota limit on
Strengthening.
Some Meat FLOATING Around"
Some of the meat is floating
around" he said, "but we know of
no organized under-t he-counter
black market in beef"
Indications are these illegal
sales of meat have not reached a
volume to create any alarm.
In Texas, a cattleman said he
had been approached by a stranger
recently who sounded him out
about possible future purchases.
II have no doubt he was feel
ing out the situation for a pos
sible black market operation" the
cattleman said. But I wasn't
interested and he never got
around to quoting prices"
In Des Moines, OPS Special
Agent Gerald Harrington said
there was no black market oper-
ating in Iowa.
Checking On Tips.
Mr.. Harrington and his men
keep a check on unregistered
slaughterers throughout the State
and have checked tips of black
market operations being set up
He said his Office has found only
six or eight deliberate violators Of
OPS regulations in a State which
sends more than l million head Of
cattle to the market each year.
81 can't call these violstions q
black market" Mr.. Harrington
said in an interview.
In Kansas City, a packer sale
he was not greatly concerned ovel
possible black market operation:
which would divert cattle from
the supply reaching the legitimate
|slaughterer.
Don't Believe People Will Pay.
Il just don't believe enough
people will pay black marke
prices for beef to make it worth
while on any significant scale,
he said.
1.-THE black marketeer woult
have to get perhaps 10 or 20 cent
a pound above the market pric'
and that price is high already.
ALSO. there's a heavier move
ment Of cattle to the market un
| derway. That's going to ease tn

beef supply in normal channels
and I don't see where the black
market would be very profitable
on any scale"
People in the cattle business in
dicated they had more fear of un.
qualified or dishonest government
graders than they do black mar
ket operators.
After cattle are slaughtered anc
the carcass Is chilled, government
graders put their stamp on the
meat which determines its selling
price according to grade.
Gives Example.
Here's an example of what coulo
happen, according to the packing
people:
A buyer for a packing house
might purchase a carload of cattle
at the ceiling price for choice OF
Isecond-grade animals.
But after the cattle are slaugh-
tered and their carcaSses hung
the Government grader might
honestly or dishonestly-raise the
grade to prime.
This would mean the packer
could sell the beef for the top price
rather than the second highest
price. Thus he would make more
money than his competitor and
he would be in a better bidding
position on other cattle sales.
Worries of Controls.
This is a theoretical case, of
course, but it is one of the worries
which go with the Governments
price controls of beef.
This grading business scares
us to DEATH" one veteran in the
packing business said. I've been
in the business so years and still
don't know it all. Yet the Gov
eminent sends out graders who
don't have the experience for the
job. It's not something that can
be handled by the slide-rule boys "
There is shortage of expert
enced Government graders. The
larger packing houses have Gov
eminent inspectors and graders
working in their plants at all
times. But not all the little
slaughterers have this close regu-
|lation by experienced men.
Five U. S. Grades.
There are five grades of cattle
under U. S. standards-prime
choice, U. S good, commercial
and utility. Sometimes the shad-
ing between any two is a thin line
of judgment which means the
difference of several dollars a
head on cattle.
Thus the grading of the beet
carcass is an operation in which
a tremendous amount of money
1 is involved.
One harassed buyer said
We've got to buy our merchan.
disc with a cover over it. We
dos't know what we've got unit
the cover comes off. That's why
I'm gray-headed."
i The packers don't fear the
honest, experienced grader. Blu
they shudder when they thinl
what the unqualified or dishones
grader might do to the business
