black market today increased possibilities that the government may abandon price controls on meat. The senate agriculture commit tee, in a report blasting government controls, late yesterday recommended immediate removal of all price restrictions and subsidies on livestock and meat. At the same time, President Truman told a news conference that controls would be lifted if it be-

the black market. The senate committee termed the meat black market “scandalous” and sald “government wartime controls have been in a large measure responsible.” These developments came less than 24 hours after Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson told the senate banking committee that he would favor abandoning all meat price ceilings if the meat
trolled within 90 days. Charge OPA Breakdown Reporting to the senate after three weeks of hearings, the agriculture committee charged that government price controls and regulations on livestock and meat “have completely broken down.” ; “Price ceilings on livestock are a mere fiction,” it said, “and as a result of the black market and subsidies, meat is costing the American’ public at least $2,000,000,000 a year in excess of price ceilings.” Most meat sold today, the committee asserted, is going at black market prices. Yet, it added, government estimates put the supply of meat at enough for 150 pounds per capita this year, more per person than in any year since 1911. Official Sees Possible Control An OPA official, when asked about President Truman's statement and the agriculture committee report, told reporters: “We feel reinstating slaughtering controls and doubl our enforce-

Fight 'Inflation’ Of Bubble Gum
WASHINGTON, May 3 (U. P.). —Indignant OPA officials ruled today that there can’t be any inflation in gum, even bubble gum. Rep. William A. Barrett (D. Pa.) reported that the OPA will crack down on retailers who have been overcharging 7-year-old Diana Dominico of Philadelphia. She wrote Barrett: “We pay 2 cents for bubble gum and it is only supposed to be 1 cent. We think the men in the OPA should take care of that.” They will, too, Barrett said when a group of Philadelphia women oalled at his office. The OPA, he revealed, will haul into court the retailers who have been overcharging the youngsters :
Meanwhile, Me suggested that the kiddies, instead of saying “okay” when they are charged 2 cents for bubble gum, shout back “OPA”—and run for the closest OPA enforcement officer.
