CHILD'S PLAY— So simple that even a child can operate it” is
the idea b_ehmd this picture of a new German-made agricultural
tractor, displayed at a farm equipment exhibition in Bolzano,
Italy. The one-and-a-half-ton machine has a 22-hp Diesgel engine
and costs around $3200, (Photo by NEA-Acme Staff Photographer
Massimo Ascani.)
1852 Ford convertible will be
awaiting her when she arrives
home. The Memphis (Tenn.) Dis
trict Ford Dealers will present the
new car to the Maid in tribute to
her service for the cotton industry
and to emphasize the close rela
tionship between cotton and the
automotive industry, largest cotton
customer.
Applications are now being ac
cepted for the 1952 Maid of Cotton
contest. Any girl born in a cot
ton-producing state, who is be
tween the ages of 19-25, inclusive,

least 5 feet 5 inches tall is eligible.
Application forms can be obtained

Box 18, Memphis, Tenn. They
must be completed and returned
along with two photographs—one,
a head and shoulders view, and the
other, a full-length picture. En
tries must be postmarked no later
than midnight Dec. 1.
The Cotton Council pointed out
that girls do not have to be spon
sored by a club or other organiza
tion. Any girl who meets the con
test requirements is eligible to
enter.
Approximately 20 girls will be
selected to appear at contest finals
in Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 2-3. Con
testants will be judged on the

the cotton industry and headed by
a nationally-famous feminine per
sonality.

the Memphis Cotton Carnivai, and
the Cotton Exchanges of Memphis,
New York, and New Orleans are
sponsors of the Maid of Cotton
contest and tour. The 1952 tour
will be the fourteenth annual
goodwill and fashion mission to be
made by a cottonland beauty.
New Curbs For
Beef, Cattle
Now In Offing
By OVID A. MARTIN and
WILLIAM O. VARN
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25—(AP)
Price Director Michael V, DiSalle
said yesterday “We most emphati
cally do not” intend to remove
price controls frorm beef and beef
cattle. On the contrary, he added,
new enforcement measures are
under study.
DiSalle spoke out in a state
ment issued at a time when pres
sure for lifting the controls ap
peared to be mounting from the
meat industry and some farm
groups.
Also, it appeared that disagree
ment over some of the new steps
DiSalle’s Office of Price Stabiliza
tion (OPS) is reported considering
may go to the White House for
final decision.
Agriculture Department officials
are known to be reluctant to be
drawn into prograrms designed to
make the controls work more ef
fectively than they are.
In declaring that OPS does not
intend to abandon beef price con
trols because Congress refused to
grant it new authority to impose
slaughter quotas, DiSalle said:
DiSalle Statement
“Beef comprises a very impor
tant part of the American family’s
diet, and we feel it is a major re
sponsibility of ours to do all in
our power to see that it costs the
housewife no more than it does
already.”
" In a New York speech last night,
DiSalle accused a “majority” of
th? meat industry of fighting “our
price controls with non-compli
ance, misstatements, unethical
conduct, and illegal and immoral
operations.”
" It is conceded by all parties con
cerned that there are widespread
violations of the ceilings and that
the result is a disturbed meat pro
duction and distribution pattern.
Some slaughterers and sections of
the country are getting more than
their normal share and others are
going short.
One of the worst angles of this
disturbed pattern is that the armed
services are unable to get essen
tial supplies of beef. Big packers
who normally supply the military

claim they cannot do so because
price ceiling violators are bidding
the cattle away from them.
A Reflection
DiSalle says the disturbed situa=-
tion reflects the fact that Congress
has forbidden him to use slaughter
quotas. The quotas were designed
to channel a normal portion of the
beef cattle to various slaughterers,
By doing so they were expected to
minimize competition among pack
ers for animals and thereby reduce
over-ceiling bidding.
One of the steps DiSalle cited
today as under study at OPS is
also designed to attack this prob
lem. He said the agency is con
sidering setting up an over-riding
ceiling for beef cattle. - Present
ceilings apply only to the average
| a slaughterer may pay for ail the
~ animals he buys in a fixed period.
There iz nothing to keep slaugh
terers from bidding up choice
grades, as a top ceiling would do.
DiSalle said his agency also is
considering a priority system. Un
der the plan, any slaughterer who
killed more beef than he did in a
comparable perfod last year would
be required to sell it to the armed
forces or to institutions.
