DiSalle Signals Beef Price Controls To Persist
Washington dispatch reports Michael DiSalle, price stabilizer, may impose a super ceiling on cattle prices as part of beef price control enforcement. He denies plans to scrap controls despite Congress’ refusals to restore power over distribution and slaughtering. He cites 1,408 violations found in 4,275 slaughtering plants, and notes no serious beef shortage at consumer outlets with a seasonal rise in cattle marketing likely to ease live prices.
