“Today «Business - Movies Marking Their 50th Year

By Harold H. Hartley

”

THE MOVIES are polishing up their own “Oscar.” . They're beginning to wash the rust out of their arter-

They're just 50 years old, and limping a little,

The Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) announced the pending ac-| tion today as it sent special

beef is going and what is being paid for it. { Several meat packers, including Wilson & Co., have complained that they cannot buy their normal share of cattle at ceiling prices because they are being outbid by others willing to ‘pay higher prices. : Major packers throughout the Midwest told the Army yesterday that they could not furnish beef to the government because of a black market caused by ‘‘somebody” buying beef at illegal prices. “The market keeps climbing and we're not the ones who are pushing up the bids,” a spokesman said. “We'd like to know how these high bidders are disposing of the cattle without going over.the ceiling in their sales to retailers.” Another packer said the market price was more than $2 above what his firm could pay for cattle and dress and sell them under ceiling levels. District enforcement Chief Paul Thuet Jr. said at St. Paul that he expected “tangible results” from the investigation within “two days to two weeks.” OPS said “typical violations” found in New York, Cleveland and Chicago involved ‘short weighting,” by which slaughter-
