Three Front War Seen Looming On Black Market
Washington July 10 new government crackdowns on food black marketeers loom from three directions. Secretary Clinton P Anderson vows to use force to shut down illicit operations while the House Food Investigating Committee pledges to investigate and expose such activity. Anderson seeks to equalize meat distribution and extend poultry procurement from Delaware Maryland and Virginia westward. Regulations to allow non federally inspected slaughterers to ship meat across state lines and sell to the Armed Forces are being prepared, subject to safety and inspector oversight. Chairman Pace says the committee will expose black market operators and push a nationwide “feed America first” policy while targeting waste spoilage and price abuses.
