Senator Flanders urged linkage to wages and profits as a broad national measure. Senator O Mahoney anticipated reluctance but suggested government action to curb rising living costs if needed.

Last Hope For Cheaper Meat Gone
Washington reports the 1947 corn harvest will be 2.404 billion bushels, 27 percent below last year and far short of the 2.85 billion needed to stabilize meat. Rainy weather failed to lift yields, signaling tighter meat supplies next year and possible price increases. Officials fear lean cattle slaughters and lighter weights as farmers face corn shortages, potentially raising retail meat costs. Export cutbacks to Europe and Asia add domestic hunger concerns and prompt urgent policy action.
