Price controls fate of meat and 1947 outlook sparks broad debate
GOP leaders push to end meat price ceilings while a 24 industry push seeks freedom from controls. Retail grocers report September meat stocks at 18 percent of August receipts, and officials in Washington note 5 percent weekly beef output gain but 69 percent below 1945 levels. Senator Green and Rep Johnson press Anderson on hoarding probes and possible meat seizures. The OPA considers fair share distribution as prosecutors weigh actions. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics forecasts 1947 beef and veal rise with softer pork and milk supplies, and broader food stock gains expected despite egg and fresh vegetable shortfalls.
