Bowles Asserts
New Beef Ceiling .
Solves Problems
Washington, Jan. 11 HPi Price
Chief Chester Bowles said today
that the new live cattle price eei;
ings would provide more beef for
the housewife at less cost and
would be fair to everybody en
gaged in the production of beef
from the farmer down to the re
tal butcher. ,
"If the program, in its opera
tions, develops defects, we shall
act quickly to re'move them,"
Bowles said.
Stabilization Director Fred M.
Vinson, overriding protests of
western congressmen, yesterday
ordered live cattle ceiling prices
of $18 per hundred pounds (Chi
cago price) from Jan. 29 until
July 2, when the ceiling will be
lowered, to $17.50.
He also ordered increased sub
sidies to packers of $1 per hun
dred pounds for choice grade AA
beef and 50 cents per hundred for
good grade A beef beginning Jan.
29. The choice subsidy is ,to go
down 50 cents July 2. ,
Authority Granted
The directive gave Bowles
authority to require all slaughter
ers to kill certain percentages of
cattle other than the choice and
good grades.
Western state senators, some
of them in the cattle business
themselves, were quick to object
to the new order, claiming it
would reduce the profits of cattle
producers and result in less meat
for the public.
In general, however, they with
held any action pending the re
turn of Sen. Kenneth S. Wherry,
R., Neb., who intends to introduce
a resolution ordering an investi
gation into executive orders re
garding the livestock industry.
Bowles, explaining the order
which the OPA had long sought
to have enacted, said live cattle
represented "the only important
basic food commodity" still out
side price controls.
Held In Danger
"Our entire oroeram of meat
price control was In danger of a
break-down," he declared. "By
placing ceilings on live cattle,
it will be possible to hold meat
prices to present ceilings."
Bowles said the new order
would be fair to all concerned
from producer to housewife.
Here's how .he said each group
would fare:
The housewife will be "pro
tected from over-celling prices and
will be enabled to obtain reason
able shares of all grades of beef."
The retailer and wholesaler will
be "helped in obtaining their
rightful shares of all grades of
beef at prices that will allow them
to sell profitably at ceiling prices."
Packers and slaughterers will
be "protected from activities of
the small group of unscrupulous
operators through a legal ban on
any slaughterer's buying cattle at
higher prices than permitted" and
will be enabled to "realize fair and
equitable returns on sales of meat
at established ceiling prices."
Will Protect Cattlemen
Cattle feeders, who buy cattle
to fatten for the market, will be
protected by a specific provision
of the directive calling for an
over-riding ceiling of $13 per
hundred pounds live weight at
Chicago until July2. It is expect
ed that these feeders will have
sold their cattle by that date,
after which the ceiling becomes
$17.50.
Cattle raisers will he "protect
ed by the fact that the increase
in the subsidy and in maximum
prices for the two top grades not
only increase the level of prices
slaughterers can afford to pay
but also will help to sustain the
average level of prices for all
cattle."
Sen. Hugh R. Butler, R., Neb.,
a cattle feeder, claimed that feed
ers were now liquidating theii
stock because of the "small mar
gin of profit" they would get un
der the new ceilings, and said
"there can be but one result less
beef."
Robot Bombing
Advice Received
Whjle members of the Des
chutes county defense council
were inclined to the belief that
Central Oregon and Bend probab
ly would not be subject to enemy
robot bombing, headquarters of
the Oregon state defense council
today furnished local representa
tices with copies of instructions
for use in ca.4e of an attack.
George Simerville, defense
council coordinator, said that the
state headquarters listed 11 in
structions, which, briefed, warn
residents to be on the alert, re
main near shelters, avoid hys
teria, obey instructions of local
authorities and defense council
representatives and avoid flying
glass.
