Why The Advance
In By-products?
WASHINGTON. —Senator Byrd
(P-Va) told newspapermen he had
communicated to 'Secretary Wallace
n demand for an "immediate' and
thorough” investigation of purchases
oi beef cattle by packers.
“I want to know,” Bryd said, "why
the prices of the by-products of beef
are twice as much this year as last
and the prices of cattle on the hoof
only half as much.”
Several hours earlier it was disclos-
ed that the government would spend
n total of $20,000,000 to take low
grade beeves off the market.
Chester C. Davis, production dir-
ector of the Farm Adjustment Ad-
mniistration, said the adjustment of-
fice had agreed to match a $10,000,-
000 allocation of the relief adminis-
tration foV purchasing beef of the
canner and cutter type.

oi persons in Texas dying from can-
