Housewives at Syracuse, N.Y., found beef up two cents a pound. Chicago meat prices are one to five cents a pound ahead of last week. Steaks, lamb chops, pork loins and hams were reported four to six -cents higher In New York. Safeway chain, which operates 223 stores in New York and New Jersey, said meat prices were "up a bit." Some larger eastern food chains predicted meats would Jump two to six cents a pound next week. RaJph Helstein, union president, made the arbitration proposal at the firt hearing of the fact-finding board. "The union Is sufficiently con fident of the validity of Its posi tion to submit the issue for such a determination." rie said in a statement to the board.

Speaking to the Salem chapter of the Fellowship in a meeting at Ihe home of Dr. Seth R. Hunt ington, pastor of First Congrega tional church, Etter soundly criti cized President Truman's pro posals to congress Wednesday. The secretary of the peace or ganization said the president ap parently thinks the world crisis is much more critical than it actually is. He advocated con tinuation of the voluntary enlist ment plan to keep our armed forces up to strength. The volun tary plan has failed, he asserted, because the services have raised their standards to such a high level that more than half of the volunteer "are being rejected. He said an over-all appraisal of American and Russian mili tary strength leaves no doubt that U. S. armed forces far outpower the communist armies. He stated further that several leading mili tary authorities have said recent ly that universal military train ing and a draft law would not be particularly favorable to strengthen the armed forces. Recent statements issued by military leaders, deploring Amer ica's poor military condition, were only for home consumption and did not reflect the actual con ditions of our forces. The com munists' coup de etat in Czecho slovakia still leaves Russia with in the bounds set out for Reds at the Yalta conference, Etter concluded. 72 Mayors Favor Daylight Saving Seventy - two of 152 Oregon mayors contacted by questionnaire by the League of Oregon Cities, favor daylight saving as an em ergency measure with 28 against.
