Government launches drive to enforce OPS cattle prices
Washington August 37 The government begins a nationwide drive to enforce price ceilings on cattle and to tighten controls on sales and purchases. Michael V Disalle head of the Office of Price Stabilization says enforcement will focus on estate sales and slaughter plans to detect overbilling and abnormal buying patterns. A beef industry advisory committee has been convened to discuss ceiling changes after slaughter quotas were abolished. The OPS plans ceilings on sellers and buyers and on individual animals rather than monthly totals. Congress renewed the Defense Production Act to permit quotas again, but the agency argues quotas are needed to curb black markets in meat. Disalle said complaints come from buyers unable to purchase beef at ceiling prices.
