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

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.
