The provision was designed to make more meat available in shortage areas. Anderson, however, told newsmen that "if we were to issue blanket authority under the amendment to the non-federally inspected slaughterers it might harm a good deal of the good done under present OPA restrictions." ting, up Tokyo Reveals 2 More thrown anything at us that we can't; throw right back."
