Packers object that grading is
not an exact science; that no two
graders may grade alike. The
packers compliance. therefore,
may not depend on their intentions,
but on grading, and where profits
are small. down-grading may rob
them Of any profit on an. animal.
The system also means that
the average market prices may
vary from the OPS figures the
packers may pay. Assume that
the packer is able to buy at ad-
vantageous prices, and some of
the carcasses are graded higher
than the expected grade at which
the purchase was made. The
packer then has some leeway
in his later purchases that month.
He may pay a little more than
he otherwise could. But if, con-
versely, the packer is over COM
pliance, and the ruling prices in
the market are above the OPS
figures, the packer may not be
able to buy at all.

On March IL American
listening posts caught this on
the air:
"You are listening to the un-
derground radio station of Free
Russia. This is the road to
freedom. This is the start of
the national revolution.
The program was in Russian.
1t was beamed for Russia and
Eastern Germany.
Ever since, this wanderer of
the air waves has been telling
Russians how to start a revo-
luton against what it calls the
stain clique" It has laughed
at the Soviet jamming stations
which have tried to cut it off
the air. It has reported events
In the free world.
It has told its listeners to re-

might be a bluff or may mean
that there's a well-knit under

It winds up each program:

Radio Free Russia says it is

which have sprung up among
Russian exiles.

Two Sides to the Beef Problem but Answers Come Hard

Ia profit but will be high enough
to be an incentive to increased
production.
Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan put 1t this way: Judging from
actual experience of the rate at
which cattle numbers were in
creased in 1949 and 1850, average
cattle and calf prices at about the
1850 level. which will still be al
lowed b. the OPS ceilings, should
constitute a reasonable incentive
for the continuing production Of
beef animals"
In q statement made last month,
Mr.. Brannan conceded that farm
and ranch costs were rising and
the situation would have to be
watched. Last week. however. he
spoke optimistically Of the grain
and cotton crop prospects. and
said the general outlook had
changed from one of concern and
difficulty to one of possible achieve
ment of goals"
Corn Meal T-Bones
II don't believe we will have
to take our T-bone in the form of
corn meal" he said. This was
reference to the fact that, when
corn prices are too high for profit
able feeding to cattle, the corn is
sold as grain, not as meat.
Mr.. Disable listed these points,
in arguing that even after the final
roll-back prices will be high
enough to make cattle-growing
and cattle-feeding profitable:
II. The prices after the last
roll-back will be about IS per cent
higher than January, 1850, yet the
Department Of Agriculture index
OF prices paid by farmers, includ-
ing feed, interest, taxes and wage
rates, have increased only 13 per
cent.
%. The prices after the last
roll-back will be more than 20
per cent higher than parity, and
parity was revised as late as jan
uary, 1850. to substantially in
crease parity for beef cattle and
lambs relative to other products.
"3. The prices after the last
roll-back will be higher than the
June, 1850. prices. The June, 1850,
price was so high that it stimu-
lated a substantial increase in beef
production.
u. The prices after the last
roll-back are higher than the
average annual price for any year
prior to Korea. The highest aver
age annual price prior to Korea
was $22.40. The lowest price set
by OPS is about $24, or Z per cent
higher than the highest historical
price"

the animals go, its regulations are
designed to keep the meat supply
in the established channels
ISlaughterers are licensed and Mr.
Disable made it clear new Slaugh-
terers would be licensed only il
economic necessity can be shown
In World War II thousands OF
new slaughterers went into the
business land they were the source
of the black MARKET he said.
One thing should Misunderstood
There is no ceiling on the amount
the farmer may receive for his
cattle. The ceilings are on the
amounts the packers may pay, ac-
cording to the various grades run
ming from prime" at the top tc
utility at the bottom.
A complication here is that the
grading is done after the animal
is bought and slaughtered. A car
cass may be graded "good," when
the packers buyer judged the
animal on the hoof to be choice. >
If the packer pays the OPS figure
for choice animals and they turn
out to be of a lower grade, the
packer is thrown out of compli-
ance. In other words, he is break
ing the law. His overall purchases
have to be in compliance by the
end of the month.

what Is happening to the supply
of meat and meat animals?
There have been pictures in the
newspapers Of empty pens in the
Istockyards and accounts of re-
|duced slaughtering by the packers
and short supplies Of beef in the
|refrigerators of the distributors
How come?
There is a difference of opinion
as to the answers.
Price Stablizer Michael v. Di-
Sale says the controls, which have
been in operation just about q
month, are working reasonably
well. On the West Coast the
marketing of cattle is proceeding
smoothly, he told the Senate
House Committee on the Produc-
ton Act-the joint watch dog"
committee.
Time for Adjustment
"Glve these people time to ad-
just themselves to the new regu-
lations." Mr.. Disable urged Fri
day night.
Some of the cattle and beef are
going into the black market, ac-
Icording to beef industry repre-
Isentatives. But according to Mr..
Disable, this is not so; there is
no black market.
AS to the cattle not reaching
the markets, there appears little
doubt that they are in pastures
adding pounds. and many will be
marketed before the next two
roll-backs of prices.
The farmers are not ION strike"
against Government controls. The
industry people said the farmers
are Just conducting their cattle
feeding operations on a business
like basis to get back their in
vestment and to try to realize a
profit.
Mr.. Disable also said he does

theory. There has been uncer-

This is something new to them

go to New York and then to San

President Plaza is as much at
home in this country as he is in
his own. He was born in New
York City. while his father was
on a diplomatic mission to the
United States. He studied at the
Universities of California and
Maryland. and subsequently at the
Georgetown University School Of
Foreign Service. Meantime. he did
a little postgraduate work In the

first families of Ecuador, Gallo
Plaza began his political career
on the bottom rung of the ladder.
After the lean and hungry years
in New York. he went to his
country's Embassy in Washington
as a clerk. Back in Ecuador in
1887, he made his first bid for
public Office and was elected a.

Quito. He later became Mayor.
Next, he was appointed Minister

turbulent offices in the national
