The butcher had meat Monday but many housewives found the
price too high.
Nevertheless, meat had returned to hundreds of thousands of Ameri

While many housewives served chicken and other substitutes rather
than pay $1.15 a pound for choice bits of fresh meat, the experts

Postoffice Buildings
Listed in Five Cities
Five west-central Oregon cities
have been scheduled by the Post
office Department for new post
offices costing approximately
$435,000 if Congress decides to
resume construction of federal
buildings next year.
Included on a list of Oregon
cities where the department feels
new federal construction would
be justified are: Cottage Grove,
Junction City, Reedsport, Sweet
Home and Springfield. Construc
tion costs in the first four were
estimated at $85,000 each; for
Springfield, the department plans
a $95,000 structure.
Figure Set
The Associated Press reported
a town must have annual postal
receipts of $10,000 or show that
its present facilities are inadequate
to get on the list.
There have been no postoffices
authorized since 1940. Before the
war, the government spent $65,
000,000 to $70,000,000 in construct
ing such buildings throughout the
country.
Prepared List
Last year the Postoffice De
partment prepared a list of build
ings it considered necessary, bul
Congress decided time was not
ripe for such construction.
The department thinks that the
annual appropriation, when Con
gress decides to resume construc
tion of federal buildings, will run
up to $200,000,000 or more
throughout the nation.
The department said all of the
towns would be on the new list

dropped below $10,000 yearly.
He added that "meat prices will
come down in the field of com
mercial or utility cuts, but choice
cuts will remain high."
He assured the nation's livestock
producers that the government
controls had been removed "perm
anently." His prediction of lower prices
was supported by statements from
the meat industry itself.
Cattle and hogs flooded the 12
major Midwest markets again
Monday. More than 60,000 hogs
and 156,000 cattle came to the
markets. This was more than
ten times the number of hogs
and double the cattle shipments
received in the same markets a
week ago, the last day under
price controls.
A survey showed that retail
butchers in many areas filled their
counters with fresh meat for the
first lime in man weeks. Beef was
plentiful in many cities, but pork
remained scarce except for bacon.
At Washington, D.C., the com
mittee for Consumer Protection
said that "unprecedented amounts
of livestock, most of which are in
the lower grades, are reaching the
market and there should be plenty
of low-cost cuts available."
"Buy Wisely"
"Gel wise, buy no high-cost
cuts," the committee advised
housewives. "Don't pay high prices
for lower grade meat."
At Chicago, butchers said con
sumers were buying heavily de
spite the high prices, which in
many instances doubled the form
er OPA ceilings. Some retailers,
however, reported that customers
refused to buy bacon at $1 a
pound.
At Miami. Fla.. steak sold for $1
a pound and chopped steak for 85
cents.
Chops sold for as high as $1 a
pound at Pittsburgh.

the department de-ldcs whether

from wheat, flour, farina and

OPA officials worked overtime
to carry out President Truman's

BERLIN OP) Virtually com

the citizens of Berlin sharply re

In elections for city and borougn
councils.
The Social Democrats Party won
48.7 per cent of the tabulated
votes and the Christian Demo
crate took second place with ap
proximately 22 per cent.
The Socialist Unity Party, which
was formed in the Russian zone
by merging the Communist and
Social Democrats Parties, ran third
with about 19.8 per cent.
The balloting was in all four of
Berlin's occupation zones for par

will be selected on a proportional
basis. The new council will re

WASHINGTON (AP) A strike bv pilots first of its
kind in commercial aviation halted all flights Monday by
Trans World Airlines planes in the United States and across
the Atlantic.
The surprise walkout capped a months-long controversy
over higher wages for the company's 1400 pilots and co-pilots
who have been earning from $7600 to $9100 a year, including
base pay and other allowances.
Shortly after the strike began the company cancelled
more than 90 scheduled flights for a 24-hour period and an
nounced the cancellation would be extended each day unless
the strike ends.
The company estimated that 3000 passengers booked on
grounded planes were stranded or shunted to trains and
other airlines. Approximately 25 tons of mail likewise was
shifted to other transportation.
U N Delegates Among Those "Grounded"
Among those grounded at least temporarily was the
Indian delegation to the United Nations Assembly. TWA re
ported it was making efforts to get them aboard other planes
from Shannon, Eire, to New York.
TWA, the nation's, fourth largest aircarrier, was the only
airline hit by the strike which David L. Behncke. head of the
AFL Airline Pilots Assn., described as a "last recourse" in
the prolonged wage dispute.
Picket lines appeared at the company's shops and admin
istration building in Kansas City but there was no similar
action in other cities.
TWA flies over 28,270 miles of routes from coast to coast
in this country, and to Ireland, Paris, Geneva, Lisbon, Rome,
Athens, Cairo and many other world capitals.
The Civil Aeronautics i
Board, governing agency fori
aviation, met in Washington,
but a CAB official told report
ers he knew of no action in
prospect.
The strike got under way at
the expiration of a week-end ulti
matum from the union to the
company demanding the pay adjustments.
The union rejected last month
government fact-finding board's
recommendations for settlement
of the controversy. Both sides
disputed the effect of the board's
findings.
Behncke contended that the
board's proposal for a $750 in
crease in the $3000 annual base
pay and revisions of allowances
for hourly and mileage rates
amounted to a pay cut ranging up
to 24.7 per cent.
TWA's President Jack Frye
countered that the board's formula
actually gave the pilots and co
pilots increases up to 38 per cent.
In a letter to Behncke, dated
Sunday, he said he was sure the
matter could be settled around the
bargaining table.
Frye asserted the union's de
mands amounted to $15,300 yearly
for top scales. Behncke said the
union proposals ranged from
$930.31 to $1187.43 monthly, de
