Adjust Meat Price Limits Across Regions
Washington Aug 14 The Office of Price Administration considers zoning meat price ceilings to relieve shortages and level prices across areas. OPA officials say leveling could restore fair distribution as packers deliver proportionate output everywhere. An Emergency Conference statement accuses government policy of masking meat price controls that hurt slaughtering. Raising concerns over plant closures and a push for price fixes by Henderson and Wickard contrasts with OPA stance against rationing. A separate Welfare Dept report from Harrisburg notes a York jail guard shooting deemed self defense.
