U S Purchase of Livestock Is Suggested
Washington February 17 UP A suggestion for government purchase of live animals and for registration of every person who sells controlled meat as a means to combat the Black Market in meat and keep small packers in business gained support today in the House Small Business committee. The plan was described as worth considering by David Ginsburg OPA counsel after Chairman Patman asked if it could accomplish the dual aims. Wilbur La Roe Jr National Independent Meat Packers Association counsel, advanced the proposal saying industry suffers from price ceilings on meat products but not on live animals. Ginsburg argued current ceilings allow a fair profit for major packers. In a Senate panel, Charles B. Holman Milk Producers Federation urged that an OFA milk price freeze could provoke rationing and a milk shortage, saying farmers will lose heart and cows may head to slaughterhouses. He warned rationing would be inevitable and dangerous.
