Meat ceilings returned today as OPA reimposed price limits on fresh meats. Housewives in many cities faced bare counters and turned to poultry and fish markets to fill menus. The army warned it may buy less meat unless shortages ease. Prices average about 12 percent higher than June 30 but still below recent levels, while rationing remains unlikely. Officials weigh farm production boosts as a remedy, with no action imminent. The reintroduction marks the gradual restoration of controls begun August 20 under the Decontrol Board.
