000,000 sulphate pulp mill, using

Packers Safeguarded In
Event Of Meat Ceiling
WASHINGTON VP) The
Senate approved yesterday an
amendment to the controls bill
whirh would guarantee the meat
packing industry a "reasonable
margin of profit" if Mr. Truman
decided to put price ceilings 0 n
meat.
Senator Maybank, sponsor of the
amendment, said its "one and
only purpose" is to prevent a re
vival of World War II meat short
ages and black markets. . .
What effect the provision would
have on any retail meat price
ceilings could not be forecast with
any accuracy.
The amendment is almost iden
tical to one which congress wrote
into the OPA law in 1945. May
bank told newsmen it didn't wipe
out shortages and black markets
then because "it never had a fair
test controls on meat were re
moved in 1946 before the amend
ment had a chance to work."
