Remington, of Calexico, warned against more government control of meat pricing. Ellen Haas of the Washington-based Community Nutrition Institute was critical of the fact there are no legal penalties for submission of inaccurate quotations to the Yellow Sheet The government should take steps to establish a national computerized trading system to bring the meat trading business out in the open, she said. If a new system were privately run, it should be licensed by the government, she said.

low Sheet less often than other meat packers, David LaFleur said. There has been no real evidence that Yellow Sheet prices have been manipulated, he said, but his firm, Missouri Beef, would use another system if shown it better serves buyers and sellers. Rather than controlling private reporting, the government might be more effective if it competed with private enterprise by expanding its parallel beef price reporting, LaFleur suggested. "Radical changes or mandatory, intrusive governmental requirements seem unwarranted and, in an industry as complex as the beef industry, would have far-reaching, unintended, adverse consequences," he said.

He called for more Agriculture Department research and pilot projects on electronic marketing. Yeutter, who held a high department post in the Nixon-Ford administrations, said it is likely that too few trades In beef carcasses determine prices quoted in the Yellow Sheet But changes are unnecessary until the Yellow Sheet no longer can perform an adequate market function, he said. "I'm not aware of any general dissatisfaction with performance of the present system," Yeutter said.

The government's proper role is to monitor the system for any signs of manipulation or wrongdoing, but there is no need for legislation to enlarge government's scope, he said. Smith has suggested that meat packers be barred or restricted from buying cattle futures. Manipulation of cattle futures is impossible because of the exchange's self-policing and the large size of the market, Yeutter said. MBPXL Corp. of Wichita, Kan.

Consumer activists asked the task force to recommend that the government step in to establish a national computerized meat trading system. The task force on meat pricing held its third and last public hearing Thursday before beginning work on a report for submission to Secretary Bob Berg-land in mid-June. Bergland appointed consumers, agricultural economists and representatives of all phases of the meat industry to the task force. He asked them to recommend improvements in meat marketing and respond to legislation by Rep.

Neal Smith, D-Iowa, who argues the present system allows for price manipulatioa Smith has suggested licensure of the Yellow Sheet, a private wholesale meat pricing guide; laws to force accurate reporting of meat trades to the Yellow Sheet; and a study of replacing the Yellow Sheet with computerized marketing. Clayton Yeutter, president of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, where cattle futures are traded, said he saw no need for overhauls of meat pricing for at least five years.

American exchange Continued From Higher interest rate can be paid on money market certificates WASHINGTON (AP) Banks and savings institutions will be permitted to pay higher rates on money market certificates beginning Thursday as a result of Monday's Treasury bill auction. The interest rates on 13-week Treasury bills climbed Monday to 9.621 percent and the rate on 26-week bills rose to 9.617 percent, the government said. The comparable rates on last week's sale were 98 percent and 9.570 percent. Treasury officials said.

The certificates are sold in minimum denominations of $10,000.
