4 3 14 2 Investigation Of Food Situation In West Is Asked Bridges, Director Of CIO, Charges Discrimination In Distribution SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. -Charging "discrimination" and and "open scandal" in the distribution of meat and dairy products on the Pacific Coast, Harry of Bridges, California Congress Industrial Organizations regional director, today demanded an immediate congressional investigation of the food situation in western states. Bridges and Mervyn Rathborne, California state secretary of the CIO, forwarded a joint demand to Washington for immediate rationing of meat home and restaurant consumption on the West Coast. Black Market Charged The regional Office of Price Administrations investigating simultaneously reports disof "black market" sales of meat. Ben C.

Duniway, OPA's regional attorney, said reports had received that large retail butcher shop operators were buying beef direct from producers. Certain slaughterers, Duniway said, were reported selling to customers willing to pay more than ceiling prices. "It is a Rathborne, plain fact." the said Bridges and "that people on the Coast who need meat and other, nourishing foods in order manufacture goods and ship them to our fronts are unable to get them, while others of money and leisure, able to traffic with what amounts to a black market, are getting all they desire. Restaurants Are Hit "High priced restaurants, patronized by the privileged few, are serving meat, butter and eggs with little or no limitation. Butcher shops and grocery stores in the districts inhabited by war workers are unable to obtain these commodities and restaurants in industrial districts serving workers' lunches are likewise without them." Demand for the investigation was sent to Vice President Henry Wallace, Speaker Sam Rayburn, Representative John Tolan Calif) and Senator Sheridan Letters were sent to Claude Wickard, food administrator, Economic Stabilization Director James Byrne and the OPA.

Would Limit Dealers Bridges and Rathborne urged sale of meat dishes in restaurants be limited to two days a week. They asked special supplemental rations of meat to restaurants which serve war workers; OPA price ceilings on restaurant dishes, particularly meat; price ceilings on livestock, and immediate rationing of eggs and butter. Civilian Rationing Of Meat Is Held Needed DENVER, Jan. meat rationing must be started at once to avoid a critical meat shortage, it was declared today by President Frank S. Boice of the American National Livestock Association.

Boice, an Arizona cattle rancher, told the forty sixth annual convention of the livestock group that "an intolerable situation" is developing because of packer limitation orders. F. E. Mollin of Denver, executive secretary of the association, attacked the manpower situation in a report to the convention. "There has been a lack of cooperation between national selec-1sh tive service officials and local draft boards," he said.

"It must be corrected if the need for agricultural labor is to be met. Key farm workers are exempted by national draft orders, but are being drafted just the some." The convention closes tonight. A rifle bullet reaches its highest speed at 250 yards from the barrel of the gun.

The army remained officially silent on the crash, except for a statement issued by Captain E. L. Davis, Gowen Field public relations officer, who said nine officers and enlisted men were killed and that no further details were available.

Youth Tells Story The witness account of the crash was given by Frank Eichelberger, 19, son H. C. Eichelberger, whose ranch home is miles from where the plane hit earth. Eichelberger said he was walking about a half mile from his home when he heard the plane overhead. He said the plane lost altitude rapidly and hit the ground as it banked for a turn.

He said the plane crashed into the sagebrush covered desert and burst into flames after the impact. Gasoline Takes Fire Young Eichelberger told reporters that spilled gasoline caught fire and that flames flared "for half a mile" beyond where the bomber first hit. Eichelberger and his father' said all but one of the crew of 10 men were dead when they arrived on the scene. They said the wreckage was widely scattered and that the one man they discovered alive was a. gunner whose name they did not learn.

A liberalization of draft ments for essential farm workers was agreed upon late yesterday at a conference of administrative officials with farm state senators.

Senator Bankhead spokesman for the group, announced that selective service officials would issue a new directive to local draft boards immediately. It will make the "16 unit" formula an objective, rather than a requirement, and the boards will be granted broad power to deviate from this objective, even to the extent of deferring a producer of only eight units. Sets New Standard The 16 unit formula sets a standard for determining whether a farm worker should be deferred. It stipulates that an essential worker is one who tends 16 milk cows or does a comparable amount of work toward the production of livestock, poultry, grain and other products deemed essential. Under the revised regulations, local boards will 20 be directed to classify in class or class 3C all registrants who are considered sential on the farm under the new standards.

In 2C will be included essential farm workers without dependents and in 3C those with dependents.
