Preventing Meat Price Increase
Des Moines OPA district director Walter D. Kline argues against price control pressure groups and a two cent beef increase. He notes such raises would not boost meat supply, given 80 million cattle and hogs can be fed with current feed. James I. Brownlee warned a two cent packer rise could raise butcher shop prices by about ten cents per pound.
