Washington Aug 26 U P Definite plans are being made to work out a price ceiling on live hogs with action contemplated soon for cattle prices. Deputy OPA Administrator J K Galbraith said the plan will be developed with livestock producers to avoid surprise actions and will be submitted to Secretary Wickard. He noted efforts to revise ceiling prices to remove regional inequalities and prevent price squeezes while enforcing beef grade rules. Feed prices and future demand were cited as factors for stability and confidence for feeders in the coming year. Hog producers also met with OPA officials to discuss methods for establishing the hog ceiling, with more meetings planned next week.
