Livestock Price
Ceiling Removal
Asked By Senator
By Ann Hicks
(United Frt9 SUff Correiondent)
Washington, March 27 UP) Sen.
Kenneth S. Wherry, It., Nebr.,
called today for removal of price
ceilings on livestock.
Do that, he told his colleagues
of the senate food investigating
committee, and "the black market
would take care of itself."
"When we were swamped with
hogs," Wherry said, "We had no
trouble with the black market.
And when hens were laying so
fast we couldn't stop them, we
didn't have any black market in
eggs, either."
Removal of price ceilings on
live animals, he suggested, would
stimulate production to the point
where it would meet all demands.
Wells E. Hunt, Baltimore, a
spokesman for meat interests, had
proposed increased subsidy pay
ments to packers and slaughter
, ers us the only way to get honest
beef and pork back on the nation's
dinner tables.
Must Swim Out
"The government has chosen
to plunge into the swiftly flow
ing steam of subsidies," Hunt said.
"Now we've gotten into this mess,
we've got to swim it out."
.. ' Wherry differed with Hunt's
"statement that subsidy payments
'should be increased.
. "If they do that," he said,
-"They would have to go to every
body who has anything to do with
.un animal from the time it is
born."
. Wherry, a sit-in guest of the
.committee at the hearings, is a
.feeder, himself.
He said the black market In
meats now is so wide "OPA can't
contend it is controlling inflation."
Sen. Allen J. Ellonder, D., La.,
asserted Wherry's proposal would
'be "taking the lid off."
Debate Halted
Committee chairman Elmer
Thomas, D., Okla., cut off the do-
bate by usking that it be defer
red until an executive session.
Hunt said higher subsidies
would curb the black market, re
lieve the civilian meat shortage,
and end the government's diffi
culties In obtaining meat for the
armed forces and for needy Allies.
Hunt blamed all three situa
tions on the price administration's
policies which, ho said, clamp a
"ruinous squeeze" on packers and
slaughterers. (
He said subsidies must be in
creased because It would be "dls
, asterous" to roll back the OPA
ceiling prices on livestock.
The OPA was to be given a
chance later to answer charges
that it Is to blame for the black
market.

Meet the "workhorse"
of the railroads

Not glamorous, not a "show-off"
, the unpretentious box car. You never
ee it bristling with Sherman tanks, 105 mm howitzers,
10-ton trucks and jeeps, like the fiat cars and gondolas.
It's just a modest workhorse doing one of the biggest
war transportation jobs of aU.
When you see a mile-long string of box cars, just think
of this. These plain, unassuming cars are carrying the
war to Japan. Inside are airplane engines, parts to out
fit ships, medical supplies for our men in the Pacific,
millions of tons of foodstuffs and ammunition and small
arms.
For nearly all the war cargo that goes to sea, goes by
rail first. And this huge transportation job is just as
important as fast production in our war factories.
The humble box car best symbolizes the fact that
transportation is not the job of one railroad. It's the job
of aU railroads working closely together pooling their
resources and exchanging equipment and facilities.
That is why you see on Southern Pacific rails the box
cars of nearly every railroad in the country New York
Central, Erie, L&N, Illinois Central, Northern Pacific,
Union Pacific, Burlington, Rock Island, Pennsylvania,
Southern, Western Pacific, and Santa Fe to name just
a few.
As the pressure on Japan increases, you will see an
increasing number of war freights rolling on Southern
Pacific's 15,000 miles of line. That's because Southern
Pacific serves the major West Coast ports of embarka
tion and more military and naval establishments than
any other railroad.
When you see these freight cars, representing almost
every railroad, let it remind you how all the railroads
are working closely together to deliver the stuff our
fighting men need on time!
