Washington, Dec 1. U S Secretary of Commerce Harriman told the Banking and Currency Committee that if Congress grants emergency powers the administration will restore price control and rationing of meat at once. He warned of a spring meat shortage that could trigger a severe inflationary spiral. He named steel gray market, textiles, aluminum, building materials and newsprint as other target industries for potential allocations and price ceilings. He noted meat as the top immediate issue and said first actions would follow approval of powers, preferring voluntary measures if possible.
