He said he felt the problem could and would bo worked out without resorting to livestock ceilings. Safeguard Structure The purpose of ceilings, as explained by agriculture de partment and OPA officials, would be to safeguard the price control structure and to keep the meat packing industry in full operation, becrctary Wick ard has contended that livestock rniliiiL.i would not IncrcaAC the supply for consumers or reduce consumer prices. liecauso of an unusual war time demand for meat, prices of hogs and cattle have ucen bid up by processors to a point wnerc there is very little mar gin between thosa prices and ceilings on meat. As a conse quence, many packers, particu larly smaller firms, claim they have been caught In a squeeze that threatens to ruin them. ; Jl4-Uim !
