Control Of Meat Industry Rumored WASHINGTON, April 12 (UP) Sen. Elmer Thomas, D., Okla., expressed alarm today over re ports that the OPA has a masler- plan to force eventual govern I ment control of the meat-picking industry. j Thomas, chairman of the spe cial senate food investigating ' committee, told reporters he had ' heard repeatedly of such an al leged scheme "and knowing the men in charge of OPA as I do, il is plausible." There was no immediate com ment from the OPA. Thomas said that according to the reports, the OPA program would allow the industry to be taken over completely by the "big four" meat packers and at the expense of small firms "After the war," he said, "the government could charge that the big packers had obtained a mon opoly. Then administration of ficials could demand legislation to form a commission to control the meat-packing industry as the interstate commerce commission controls interstate commerce." Thomas said such a scheme would be "against the American way of life and it is up to con gress to decide which side they're on." Representatives of the nation's meat-packing i n d u s t r y have charged repeatedly that OPA price policies are driving small packers toward "bankruptcy or the black market."
