Restaurants Reducing
Menus as Beef Price
Rollback Takes Hold
Confusion which arose as a re
sult of the beef price rollback
this week has hit the public at
the restaurant table as well as
in the corner grocery.
One restaurant owner declared
today that his business is caught
in an impossible squeeze through
inability to obtain the cuts of
meat he wants and to increase
prices sufficiently to cover higher
costs.
He said the wholesale prices
of beef in Washington have risen
from 9 to 15 cents a pound, but
this statement drew immediate
denial from some of the larger
'suppliers.
Every one speaking for pub
lication specified that his iden
tity must not be disclosed.
Many Items Withdrawn.
Whatever it is that happened.!
the public cannot now buy manyj
meals formerly available in |
Washington restaurants. Vari-1
ous items have been withdrawn j
irom tne menus.
A number of eating places prefer I
to order steaks and chops already
cut into the sizes and shapes in
which they specialize. This is
known in the trade as fabrica
tion.
According to a spokesman for
the distributor, the OPS regulation
flatly forbids certain cuts that
restaurants want. By following
the regulations, he said, the solid1
cuts available have to be sold at
the higher prices. In some in
stances, the less desirable cuts
are cheaper, the spokesman said.
He agreed that the overall price
is up but declared it is much less
than reported by the restaurant
owner.
Complaints Reported.
Even if he could buy the cuts
he wants, the restaurateur said, he
would be unable to sell them now
because the higher price would re
quire an increase in the meal
charge, which the public would not
stand.
John Cockrell, secretary of the
Washington Restaurant Associa
tion. said his office had received at
least 100 calls from association
members since the rollback became
effective Monday.
“The complaint invariably is the
same,” he commented. “They all
say ‘prices are up and still I can’t
get what I want.”’
Throughout the Nation, mark
ups and rollbacks on beef are too
irregular to set a pattern, an As
sociated Press survey indicated.
About the only general conclusion
to be drawn so far is that the ceil
ings allowed advances of as much
as 23 cents on certain items in
some places but slashed prices as
much as 19 cents. And some re
mained unchanged.
Pork, Lamb Unchanged.
Pork and lamb prices, still gov
erned by the general price freeze!
but expected to come under spe
cific ceilings later, held mostly!
unchanged from last week end, ac
cording to the Associated Press. \
Frying and broiling chickens,!
however, dropped as much as 6
cents a pound in a few markets.
And eggs which had been climbing
slowly for weeks tipped downward
about 2 cents a dozen in many
places. Retailers attributed these1
scattered declines to the new ceil- j
ings, saying some lower prices for
beef cuts apparently eased the
buying pressure on other protein
foods.
As for fresh produce, price
changes were about a stand-off.
Asparagus, broccoli, carrots, celery,
cucumbers, onions and peppers
were generally a little higher. Let
tuce dropped moderately, reflect
ing increased supply competition
from less-distant. growing areas.

Actor Lloyd Gough Refuses
To Testify on Red Affiliation
By L. Edgar Prina
Actor Lloyd Gough today be
came the latest In a list of Holly
wood figures who have refused to
testify on alleged membership in
the Communist Party.
The 43-year-old redhaired actor,
who currently is appearing in the
film, “Valentino,” declined to tell
the House Committee on Un
American Activities whether he is
a party member or is affiliated
with several organizations, which
the Attorney General has listed
as subversive.
Mr. Gough, winner of a Bronze
Star while serving with the 1st
Army in Europe in World War II,
declined to give a direct answer
when asked if he would be willing
to fight against communism in
any luture war. Despite several
attempts by Representative Pot
ter, Republican, of Michigan, leg
less World War II veteran, to
elicit a direct answer, Mr. Gough
would only say:
"I am a law-abiding citizen. I
tvould go into the United States
fcrmy.”
After the actor’s testimony the
committee recessed until the after
noon when an AFL leader was
scheduled to testify concerning
Communist attempts to dominate
unions in the film capital through
a series of violent jurisdictional
strikes in the 1940s.
He is Roy M. Brewer, repre
sentative of the International
Alliance of Theatrical and Stage
Employes (IATSE), which has
about half of the 30,000 movie
industry workers as members. Mr.
Brewer is expected to repeat much
of his 1947 testimony before the ■
committee and to bring the story
of Red labor activities in Holly
wood up to date.
