iHMINw certification rule may be reinstated Af Farm Writer WASHINGTON (AP) government soon may require livestock producers to certify they have-withdrawn use of DES, a cancer-causing growth chemical, from animals prior to selling. them to meat packing plants. According to Agriculture Department officials, there has been an alarming increase in the number of violations in the use of DES in livestock production, mainly involving, beef cattle. Consequently, a certification requirement adopted in 1971 may be put into effect again, a spokesman said Tuesday. Hie certification rule was first announced Oct.

12, 1971, as an attempt to reduce a growing number of DES contaminations and head off an all-out ban of the chemical. DES, diethylstilbestrol, is a hormone that has been shown to cause cancer when fed to laboratory animals in large doses. Federal law prohibits any trace of DES in meat products destined for human consumption. Although federal inspectors have found many traces in animal livers over the years, none has been reported in the muscle or red meat of cattle and sheep. But the 1871 certification procedure did not solve the problem and the government banned use of DES in animal, feed as of Jan.

1,1973. A ban on the use of DES pellets implanted directly in livestock was ordered as of April 28, 1973.. But about a year ago a federal court reversed the DES ban order, clearing the way for its use again. The previous certification regulation, however, was not resumed although the rule remained on the books. USDA inspectors recently have detected a growing number of DBS-tainted animal livers, indicating that producers have not been scrupulous in voluntarily following recommended withdrawal procedures.

According to department scientists, DES residues from feed sources will be naturally eliminated from an animal's body if the chemical is withdrawn at least seven days before slaughter. Implant withdrawal should be at least 120 'days before slaughter, they say. As of Dec. 26, seven DES contaminated livers were found among 3,060 livers sampled and there have been indications that at least two dozen or so additional livers are undergoing tests as suspected residue carriers. Although the incidence of DES contamination last year is not considered large by Oast were 104 positive findings among 5,116 Uvers tested in 1972, the last full year of DES are concerned that violations may get out of hand if further restrictions are not' imposed, A USDA spokesman said the same view appears to be shared by segments of the livestock industry, meat packers and animal health, authorities.

But USDA, the spokesman said, would like to see a 14-day withdrawal requirement enforced for feed we of DES, rather than the 7-day rule previously in effect. The 120-day withdrawal for implanted DES would remain the same as -before, the spokesman said. No immediate decision is in sight on the certification issue, the spokesman said. Gas schemes are halted WASHINGTON (AP) Department lawyers believe they have eliminated schemes by gasoline dealers for violating federal price regulations.

634-9976 has won all the others, the attorneys said. Fines as high as $5,000 have been imposed in 34 cases, they said. In all of the settled cases, the dealers have been required to make restitution to customers, they added. That means that a dealer who has overcharged customers by a total of $10,000, for example, was required to lower his prices enough to return $10,000 to his customers. The courts have not attempted to require dealers to return money to the same consumers who were victimized.

Even without a fine, the, restitution requirement "takes away the incentive to. overcharge," because it forces the violator to give up ill-gotten gains, Hausman said. Both men said the department has received few complaints of illegal overcharges since the shortage subsided last spring. Rose noted, however, that the same regulations still apply and that dealers who violate them remain subject to civil and criminal charges. The rules provide that retail dealers may charge gasoline prices no higher than they were charging on May 15; 1973, plus three cents a gallon and adjustments to compensate for their own increase in expenses.
