ministration toduy postponed
for u month tho i-ffcctivo date
of Its newly announced retail

ings. OPA said It "will deter

largo number of cases tho pro
posed beef veal lamb - mutton

Testifying In the committee's

ever, that if such wastage has
occurred "I don't think it will
be repeated In the future."
Earlier, Gregory in a pre

to blame, for civilian food short

Senator Mead (D-N.Y-), acting
chairman in the absence of Sen
ator Truman (D-Mo.), told Greg
ory that Secretary of Agricul
ture Wickard had spoken of a
"huge wastage of food, m pre
vious testimony.
While Mead said he supposed
that applied chiefly to civilians,
he added the committee had
been told that "huge quantities
of food are being thrown out as
garbage in many camps in this
country."
"There may be instances," re
plied Gregory, "but I believe it
has been reduced to a minimum.
The army as a whole is very con
scious of this problem.; If there
have been instances in the past,
I don't think it will be repeated
in the future." -I
