Packers Warn '(Continued From Page 1) the points, but the question is will the butcher have the meat? During April the government will take between 30 and 80 per cent, of all meat produced in Federally inspected packing plants. The smallest government purchases will be of veal, at 30 per and the largest for lower quality beef, at 80 per cent. It is estimated government buy ing in April will consume 35 per cent, of all lamb and mutton, 45 per cent, of all pork and 50 per cent, of all beef produced in these plants. With government purchasing on this scale, it is obvious to pack ers that anyone who expects to see previously half empty butcher cases suddenly bulge with steaks and chops next week, simply be cause rationing is in effect, will suffer a sad disillusionment. Packers pointed out, also, that the peak season for hog slaughter had passed on the basis of past years, hog marketings during the next several months should be less than in January and Feru ary.

Sheep slaughter also normally declines during the spring and summer months. There is usually a slight alling off in cattle slaughter, which expands again in September and October.

In the battle for the Upper Donets River Valley, the Germans have been beaten back in every effort to establish bases on the eastern bank from Belgorod to Chuguev, and, smarting under blows which have caused terrific destruction to materiel and manpower, have relaxed the intensity of their assaults.

The farm leaders said they un derstood the plan was to be Mr. Roosevelt's counter proposal to the Bankhead and Pace bills.

They agreed 'that centralization of control over farm prices under a man like Davis might tend to eliminate friction which has developed between the Administration, on the one hand, and the Congressional farm bloc and farm organizations, on the other, over farm policies. The status of Secretary of Agriculture Wickard in the food pic ture was not made clear in the reports. Wickard now acts as food administrator. He, however, is only one of three officials hav ing a say about farm prices, the others being OPA Administrator Brown and Economic Stabiliza tion Director James F. Byrnes.

Resigned Job Davis, if' named, would take the post with a broad background in agriculture. He served as agricultural adjustment administra tor between December, 1933, and June, 1936, at which time he re signed to become a member of the board of governors of the bt. Louis Federal Reserve Bank in 1941. Prior to his service as AAA Ad ministrator, he was a farm maga zine editor and Montana State Agricultural Commissioner. Senator Lucas strong Administration supporter, said he would put up the stiffest kind of a fight" if farm bloc leaders insist on calling for a Senate vote today on the Pace bill to add farm labor costs to the crop parity formula.

"If this bill becomes law we might as well give up the fight to try to control inflation, declared Lucas. "I sincerely hope it will be held ud for some time. There have been no hearings on the bill be fore either House or Senate com mittees, and to my mind it is about the most important piece of legislation before Congress." Action Now Urged Senator Thomas one of the principal Senate back ers of the measure introduced in the Houce by Representative Pace said he thought the farm state Senators should "strike while the iron is hot." "We've got the votes to pass it," he added. Nevertheless wires were being pulled behind the scenes in an effort to delay consideration. Some of the farm state lawmakers were represented as becoming concerned over the legislation possible effect on genral price stabilization, in the face of labor demands for wage increases.

President Philip Murray of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, testifying before the Tru man committee yesterday, pre dicted that approval of the Pace bill and Bankhead bill, also af fecting farm price control, would 'raise the cost of living for all people approximately 20 per cent."

Approximately 50 school musicians had assembled in the three story, 49 room high school in the midst of the affected area. They fled hurriedly when the ioors began to crack. The interior of the bulding was twisted and officials feared one section might collapse if the sinking continued. Some 30 families left their homes out of about 600 persons living in the area. Red Cross dis aster units and civilian defense workers moved in, with, police ready to evacuate all the homes if necessary.

Most of the houses still were occupied today, but no fires were permitted because of illuminating gas escaping from brokqn mains. Mayor Reilly said he was told by mine inspectors that the subsidence was Caused by the collapse of a vein 500 feet below the surface. After an inspection, the 'official said the school building was "ruined" and that it could not be replaced at present for less than 00,000. An attempt is being made, he added, to place the 1800 students in schools in surrounding districts. Marjorie Smiles, 17 year old senior and one of the band mem bers in the building at the time the sinking started, said she was "scared to death." "The floor started to break away under me," she related.

"There was a loud, long rumble. One of the boys shouted, 'it's caving! It's But our instructor said to take it easy and we did."
