BLAME NATURE FOR HIGH PRICES
| Fresh Vegetable Dealers
Say Bad Weather Sent Costs Zooming.
Don’t blame the office of price administration and the agriculture department for all food Saoriages and high prices. Until the office of price aliinistration can effectively control the weather, Mother Nature will continue to disrupt the best made plans of man. That advice came today from the National League of Wholesale Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Distributors, which predicted a shortage of fresh fruits and vegetables and higher prices for them as a result of the recent cold wave which extended as far south as Florida. “It is astonishing how little respect Mother Nature has for the most impressive array of statistics or even a presidential decree,” the league said in a statement. “The agriculture department can fix production goals and the OPA, on the
i |basis of perfectly good statistics, ‘ {can order price ceilings.
‘May Have to Replant
“Then Mother Nature dishes out 48 hours of freezing weather, a week
% or two of drouth, a few days of rain, # land the consuming public discovers
that instead of edible fruits and vegetables it has some decidedly non-edible production goals and price ceilings.” The league said that the recent cold wave “threw all green vegetable supply calculations very much out the window” and warned that farmers who have to replant acreage destroyed by the freeze might have to charge higher prices. There are no price ceilings now on fresh fruits and vegetables. But the OPA announced yesterday that it would impose them on fresh vegetables within two or three months—too late to affect the Florida crop. .
Ask Higher Meat, Milk Prices
Two other food groups also are pressing for higher prices. Spokesmen for butcher unions and meat packers told OPA yesterday that unless it corrects meat price “squeezes” promptly small packers would shut up shop and that butchers would strike—not against the packers, but against OPA. Dairy representatives who have been pressing OPA for a week for relief from a recent order setting a ceiling on producers’ fluid milk prices got a promise from Deputy OPA Administrator-J. K. Galbraith that there would be “substantial adjustments.” An order now being prepared, he said, involves “substantial leveling out of prices and in some cases upward adjustments.”
Hog Raiser Shows ‘Em in Capital
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (U. P.). —It took a man from Savanna, Okla. to prove that “it can be done.” He brought a problem to Washington and within 10 minutes had it solved—a record in the capital these days. The man was having trouble getting rid of his hogs because of OPA regulations. He heard about the house small business commit= tee investigatnig the meat shortage, hopped a train and after a
. little trouble got to tell about his
hogs. “What am I to do?” he asked the committee. “I can’t even butcher a hog for myself, and meanwhile there's a flock of war workers in town who'd pay any- . thing for a good ham.” ‘Committee members started to press for more details, but a Philadelphia meatpacker interrupted and offered to buy the hogs. “The committee has no further questions of this witness,” said Chairman Wright Patman (D. Tex.). “The gentleman is directed to retire and close the deal.”
MARTHUR PLANES BOMB FOUR SHIPS
MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, Australia, Feb. 20 (U. P.).— Flying fortresses scored hits with 500-pound bombs on four ships totaling 27,000 tons early yesterday in one of the heaviest raids of the
| war on Buin, big Japanese base 350
miles northwest of Guadalcanal, a communique announced today. While the fortresses concentrated on enemy shipping, twin-engined Catalina flying boats dropped demolition and incendiary bombs on supply dumps and dispersal bays at the nearby Kahili airdrome and Ballale island seaplane base, setting fires visible for 30 miles. The planes pressed home their attacks from extremely low aititudes
{in the face of strong anti-aircraft
fire. One vessel of 9000 tons and another of 7000 tons were hit twice and set afire. The others, of 8000 and 3000 tons, respectively, were hit once and damaged further by near misses.
