Flake Shaw, of Greensboro, ex ecutive, vice-president of the North ' Carolina Farm Bureau, said last week that price ceilings on livestock and livestock products have hurt (Noria Carolina consumers instead of belp- ing"them. a ' He declared that price controls have been responsible for a 7 per cent cut in consumer meat supplies, and pre dicted the general public would get ' even less meat this year.' v-tv ) i "Before price controls were impos ed," Shaw said, "the U. S. Department of Agriculture officially reported that the average .person got 143.7 pounds of meat to eat in 1950 before price controls came into effect .But 'dur ing 1951, the first year of price con trols, the average person got only . 138.2 pounds of meat." The 'Farm 'Bureau official said, "un less the control provisions in the De fense Production Act relating to price ceilings on raw agricultural commodi ties are repealed, meat producers will find it increasingly difficult to stay in business." Shaw pointed out that "price con trols will -continue to curtail- meat production because of the uncertainty they create and the maldistribution they, cause. Since the public's de mand for available meat supplies de termine price levels, the decreased production caused by controls injure consumers in two ways: (1) It de prives consumers of meat which they otherwise would have had; and (2) It keeps prices higher than they would have been if production had reached the levels expected before the con trols were applied." Shaw promised that the IFarm Bur eau would continue its fight on price controls, "which are impractical, un workable, and will not control in flation." sons were killed on the highways In the state during 1951.
