GOVERNMENT TO KEEP WATCH ON FOOD CHISELERS Federal Authorities Plan to Combat Menace of Profiteering. •# t miU4 Fre.t WASHINGTON. Aug. 15 —Out of the ruins of the drought anew danger proffering arose today day and the federal government prepared to fight it with every resource at its command. Surveying their graphs and charts and a department of agriculture erop report predicting the ymallest gram yields in thirty years and more, economists said the nation was not in for a long period of high living costs but undoubtedly would experience some higher prices during the next year. Unless thwarted at the start selfish interests may spring up like mushrooms to grow fat on the country's misfortune, officials feared. There is enough and more for ail to eat. they announced, and raids on the consumers porketbook. with shortage as an excuse, will be considered unwarranted. Some food price increases will be condoned. To a limited degree, the Agricultural Adjustment Administration contemplated higher retail meat prices long before the drought struck. Prices to Rise in Spring It planned to di p • of a 6 000 - 000-hcad cattle surplus. Exigencies of the drought produced the emergency slaughter program which will wipe out the extra numbers and more during the next six months. Had the first plan been followed, housewives would have paid more for their beef sides, bacon and rounds just as they wull because nature beat human agencies to the job. Prices of meat and dairy and poultry product s may be expected to increase noticeably next spring. Bread prices should not. officials said. If 1035 Is a year of good weather and good crops, herds will crow' again and the animals in them get fatter. Then prices ought to go down a little to more normal levels. Records showed that retail food prices still are much less than m i529 when a pound of steak cost 35 ! rents and was worth its weight in gold because the United States was on the gold standard. Methods Are Listed Emphasizing that stored supplies added to what the drought has left, j wen* ample for human and animal needs, officials listed the following methods which could be used to thwart profiteers who say it isn't so: 1. Publicity devices employed by the AAA Consumers’ Counsel. 2. Licensing powers incorporated j in the adjustment act. 3. Federal participation in commercial food distribution. If food hoarding ever became a serious menace. —and this was not anticipated—supplies could be rationed as in war-time. It is easy to discover profiteering, officials declared. Their day-to-day reports reveal the margins of mid- ! die-men. processors and retail deal- ! ers. When the margins get out of line with what the farmer is receiv- ! ing and what is justified by manu- j faeturing and processing costs, the 1 government will prepare to crack down."
