Complaint About

WASHINGTON,

packer from Richmond, Va., James J. McSweeney, who had trundled two large boxes of meat into the agriculture committee room and now was cracking ‘em open for the benefit of the hungry lawmakers. “I'll take that one,” sdid Senator Allen J. Ellender of Louisiana, pointing at a particularly juicy rump roast under the nose of Chairman Elmer Thomas of Okla~homa. Meyer moved it a little further from the gentleman from Louisiana. McSweeney kept hauling out roasts, steaks, shoulders, briskets, and sides of lamb.

By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent ~~ April 2.—There was a rustling in the background when meat packer Leonard Meyer testified that the government's ability to decide what makes a good beef steak was ruining his business. “Here,” he told a dozen senators, spreading manila paper so he'd drip no blood on their green baize table, “I'll show you.” The paper-crumpling noises were being made by Meyer's fellow

OPA’s ‘Unreason.’

honest packers, like himself, were in the toils of the government because of their inability “to tell whether a live steer will make

tender steaks or tough ones. “Yes sir,” added Meyer, a small man with a diamond horseshoe on a loud necktie. “That is why we brought this meat along. To show you just what is happening to meat.” He held up a mouth-watering, 10pound rump roast.

Took It All Away

“Take this beautiful piece of choice beef,” he cried. “It's got plenty of fat, marbling, youth,

everything. Now look at the U. S. government stamps on it.” One stamp said it was Grade B meat. Another stamp said it was Grade A, “That's because the government graders look at a piece of meat and can’t tell. what kind of meat it is,” he said. “One of ’em called this lovely piece of meat Grade B. I got his boss and he stamped it Grade A. See? Both stamps on the same piece of meat. Now if these experts can't make up their minds, how do they expect us to grade meat with the hide still on it?” He said the OPA demanded that packers tell exactly the quality of the meat in a steer by looking at the animal. If the packer guesses wrong he is penalized; sometimes he’s taken to court, he said.

CAPEHART ADDS T0 KAISER DATA

From Business List Only.

Times Washington Byreau WASHINGTON, “April 2.—Following a conference with representatives of the Henry J. Kaiser interests and an RFC official, Senator Capehart (R. Ind.) today prepared a statement to be inserted in the records of the senate banking and currency committee, : Last week the senator presented figures showing that of $286,653,000 outstanding ‘RFC business loans, $103,268,200 was owed by Kaiser, Inc. These figures were prepared by W. E. Unzicker, RFC assistant treasurer, They were objected to as making an unfair comparison « by Vice President Chad PF. Calhoun of the Kaiser Co. So the senator after talking to Mr. Unzicker and Mr. Calhoun drafted the following explanation: “Total outstanding RFC loans on Feb. 28, including every category, was $1,368,700,000. Business Category “In the category known by RFC as business loans, which include only manufacturing, mining, retailing and wholesaling—under which all Kaiser interests loans fall—there is a total outstanding of $286,653, 000 of which the Kaiser interests owe $103,268,200, approximately 44 per cent, ‘ “There is.likewise authorized and undisbursed another $11,060,182

{ which, if and when used by Kaiser

—if nething is paid on their old loans—will make that outstanding $114,328,382. « “I am placing this in the record inasmuch as there has been a question raised by the Kaiser industries in respect to a statement which I

“No wonder there's a black market,” Meyer exploded, sitting down in front of a crown roast. “The gentleman from Louisiana seems to have his eyes on one of those roasts,” commented Senator Thomas. “Oh no,” yelped Meyer, retrieving his meat. “We'd leave this meat hege gladly, but we're going to have to use it later on.” i He and McSweeney rewrapped | their roasts, folded their steaks and | stole away.
