Slaughter Controls
Urged as Only Way
To Stop Black Market
BY Francis P. Douglas

A half-dozen witnesses before a
Senate banking subcommittee to-
day urged reinstatement of Slaugh-
ter quotas for beef packers.
They maintained that, with the
elimination of quotas as required
by the amended Economic Con-
trolls Act, beef prices have gone up,
distribution of cattle among
slaughtererS has become uneven
and beef animals are diverted to-
black market slaughtererS who
supply those willing to pay more
than the ceiling prices.
One witness, Stanley H. Rutten-
berg, education and research di-
rector for the CIO, went so far as
to say that the absence of quotas
threatens to wreck the entire beef
control program and that this
would undermine the whole eco
nomic Stabilization effort.
Packers Testify.
Representatives of four inde-
pendent packing plants and of the
National Farmers Union also
urged reinstatement of quotas.
Testimony for the independent
packers was given by Joseph Pal
mer. a partner in the Standard
Beef Co. of Detroit and repre-
senting also the National indie
pendent Beef SlaughtererS; James
K. Farrell of Washington, speak
ing for the Capitol Packing Co. of
Denver; Max Miller, North Bergen
IN. j. packer, and Ike w. Duffey
of Anderson, Ind, president of the
Indiana Livestock Producers As
Sociation and treasurer of a Pitts
burgh (Pa.) packing company.
Mr.. Farrell testified the ban on
the quota system has had these
results:
/. Forced live cattle prices to
rise above the Office of Price
Stabilization compliance price
maximums.
2. An unorderly distribution of
the beef supply.
3. The establishment Of black
market operations.
Challenged by SchOeppeI.
John A. Baker, legislative sec
retary for the National Farmers
Union. told the subcommittee that
the quota system is a necessary
protection for the small legitimate
packer.
Senator Schoeppel, Republican,
of Kansas took exception to many
of Mr. Bakers statements. He
asserted that producers and
feeders of livestock are opposed
to quotas and that the adminis-
traitors of the control act are un-
able to keep up with fast-moving
changes in the marketing of beef
animalS-critters, Senator Schoep-
pei called them.
The NAM, in a statement filed
with another subcommittee, said
that the substitute for the Cape
hart amendment would permit
profits to be reduced Ito a
point where the financial re-
sources of companies would be-
come inadequate to finance new
plants and expansion programs so
vital to the defense effort and to
the maintenance Of a high stand

The butchers complained. They
said they couldn't afford to cut
their prices unless the wholesaler,

When their protests were un-

associations of Paris decided they
just wouldn't sell any more meat.
With taxes. and all. they argued,
they'd be losing money.
They dutifully continued to open
their doors to the housewives. but
issued orders that no more pur-
chases be made from the big
wholesale markets. That means
that as soon as the existing stocks
were exhausted, the housewives
would find. like Mother Hubbard,
that the meat cupboard was bare.
Paris very nearly reached that
state today.
Seventy per cent of the butchers
shops are open. There is plenty
OF meat in the big wholesale mar
kets. There were 275 tons in one
of them this morning.
But because modern methods of
buying and selling require some
one to fetch the meat and place
it on sale in a given neighborhood,
are experiencing want
in a city Of plenty.

Color TV Tube That Replaces
Black and White Announced

Istraining order against proposed
commercial operation of the CHS
plan pending litigation.
A major contention by RCA is
that CHS color is incompatible
with present TV receivers-that
is, these receivers cannot get the
Columbia signal, even in black
and white. without adjustments.
DR.. Rehman said his tube will
receive color broadcasts in color
and black-and-white telecasts in
black and white. He said the tube
also is adaptable to RCA's system.
Under the Rehman- Singer plan
a color phosphor disc rotates
within the vacuum of the tube.
The colored image is created elec-
ironically within the tube on the
disc and is then projected by lens
onto the television screen. DR..
Rehman said there is no limita-
ton to picture size as in other
color receivers.
The CHS plan of color reception
uses a motor driven color filter
