Meat Ration Bills Drawn in Congress
Sen. Ralph E. Flanders and Rep. Jacob K. Javits filed bills to install machinery for meat rationing that would become active if needed by the President. They say price controls are unnecessary and expect prices to ease once demand loosens. The plan would reuse wartime policing powers to curb black marketing and would start 30 days after a presidential recommendation, with annual expiry or earlier Congress action.
