District Confronted
with Beef Shortage,
Senate Hearing Told
Sofewoy Executive
Opposes OPS Program
Of Slaughter Quotes
By Froncis P. Douglas

Washington is confronted with
serious shortage of beef, Sen
ate Banking Subcommittee was
told today.
The statement was made by
Seth Shaw of Safeway Stores,
Inc, who testified as the subcom-
mittee opened hearings on the
question whether Office of Price

quotas should be reinstated as
President Truman has asked. A
ban on the quotas was written
into the Economic Controls Act.
which went into effect July 81.
Mr.. Shaw opposed the slaugh-
ter quotas. He said that they
would not control black markets
and would not achieve an equit-
able distribution Of livestock and
meat.
Doubts Quotas Are Effective.
Concerning the shortage of beef
which he said confronts both
Washington and New York, he ex-
Iplained that this condition always
occurs at this time of the year
when grass-fed cattle are begin
ming to move to market and feed
ers are clearing out their lots. Buk,
he said, last spring when OPS had
authority to set quotas it could
not cure a shortage. He added
he does not believe that quotas
could do anything about the short
age today.
The hearings. with Chairman
Maybank of the full Senate COM
mittee presiding, came as OPS an
nounced that the wholesale price
of beef will be increased by l cent
a pound on Wednesday. This is
to be--followed in retail ceilings,
meaning that the housewife will
have to pay about ~ cents a
pound more for the beef she buys
at retail. OPS also said there will
be an increase in the ceilings on
retail prices for ham, bacon and
lpork shoulders.
Recalls Distant Purchases.
Mr.. Shaw told the committee
that from last April through July,
when slaughter quotas were in
effect, I'VE were confronted with
every evidence of maldistribution."
He said it was necessary to pur-
chase West Coast lambs for WASH
ington and New York, paying So
Iper hundred-weight freight, in
stead of buying in the Central
States.
He said that had it not been
for purchases Of Canadian beef
during most of May and part of
June, there would have been a
considerable shortage in Wash
lington at that time.
He said also that a packer with
branches in Washington and New
Brunswick, N. j., practically dis

The Senate today took up the
pay raise legislation for the Gov

Both Democratic and Republic
can leaders in the Senate predict
approval of a pay boost for Fed
eral classified workers.
The amount of the raise. how

and will have to be settled in de-
bate on the Senate floor.
The House District Committee
today decided to meet at 10 am.
Wednesday to consider a separate
bill to give police, flremen and
teachers a fiat $400 raise.
If this bill should be reported
to the House later, it would put
the House in a>position of deciding
whether to handle the police, fire.

ing the same raise to classified
workers.
The $400 to $500 pay raise voted
for postal workers last Friday
night has caused sponsors of the
8.4 per cent average classified
employees pay raise bill to revise
their plans.
They redrafted the measure
for Senate action today so that
lower salaried employees can get a
minimum raise somewhere around
the figure given postal workers.

Some members of the Senate
Civil Service Committee said to-
day that they favor a fiat 10 per

Iers, with an $500 maximum.
J While this would be less than
a $400 minimum for many Fed
eral employees, it would provide an
average $375 increase for the en-
tire classified service. The bulk Of
Federal employees are in the $4,000
to $4,000 year salary category.
j Other Senators. however, are
still holding out for the 8.4 per
cent bill, with minimum raise Of
l$400 and a maximum boost Of
$500.
Those supporting the 10 per
cent plan declared that it would
mot be feasible to retain the 8.4
Iper cent formula with a $400 mini
mum, since this would cause over
tapping Of salaries in the middle
grades in the Federal service.
Amendments Slated.
Several amendments will be in
troduced today to the pay bill to
include other employees besides
classified Federal and District
government workers.
Chairman Neely has an amend
ment to include District police,
fremen and teachers. There are
also amendments by Senators Nc
Mahon, Democrat, of Connecticut
to include about 8,700 foreign
service employees; and Kilgore.
Democrat, of West Virginia, to
cover judicial employees such as
depuyt marshals and court STE
nographerS.
Meanwhile, House Democratic
leaders scheduled action on the
fiat $400 bill voted by the House
Civil Service Committee for later
this week.
Representative Priest of Ten
nesSee, the House Democratic
whip, announced the postal and
classified pay bills were Sched-
uled for House consideration on
Wednesday or Thursday.
Approval of the Rules Com
mittee is needed to clear the
measures for House action, but
