Mrs Raymond Sayre argues food prices reflect average family earning power. She notes in 1950 one hour of factory labor bought 16 percent more food than before the war while 1935-39 spending was 23 percent of disposable income. If buying same goods as then, 18 percent would suffice, yet 26 percent was spent in 1950 due to better diets.

Incredible Bureaucracy Hobbles Meat Industry Prices
A Wall Street Journal staffer notes the OPS regime has created a thousand plus price ceilings for beef, with processing rules vary by animal, wrapping, buyer and shipper. Major packer routes 90 percent of tonnage under ceilings while 300 workers chase compliance, overtime hits 200000 monthly, and 11 million items are reviewed again due to contradictions.
