Glick was selling steak for 99 cents a pound, chuck roast and ground beef at 69 cents a pound and short ribs for 39 cents a pound. Some 50,000 pounds of beef at half the usual price.

"I'll lose money, but the public deserves a break," Glick said as he began selling the meat at what he said were 1943 prices. the committee, headed the economy in government subcommittee where Fitzgerald gave his testimony. Proxmire said he was delighted by the decision. "This is a complete vindication of the rights of a dedicated public servant," he said.

"He's a nice guy and he's giving Pittsburgh a break." Glick says he cut his prices because "people haven't had a chance to eat meat at today's prices." A bargain basement sale atmosphere surrounded Glick's meat counter as customers jostled, shouted and occasionally the Civil Service Commission's field examining office, did not uphold Fitzgerald's reasoning.
