Objects to Yak
Meat in Rations
Eilltor's note:
A suggestion was made in the
house of commons recently that
yak meat bo impored from Tibet
to supplement the British meat
ration. By airmail, the following
note arrived on the desk of Wil
liam B. Dickinson, United Press
foreign news editor, in New York,
from Robert Musel, U.P. staff cor
respondent in London.
London, Jan. 21
No, Bill not that.
I know what you're thinking.
Musel ought to eat some of that
yak meat.
I've been cooperative, Bill, you
know I have. I've risked my stom
ach half a dozen times without
quailing. But yak meat! Remem
ber the time I tried the snoek?
Most people didn't even know
whether it was fish or fowl when
it was first imported from South
Africa. But I ate it. And 1 sent
you a full report.
Whale Meat Eaten
And whale meat. The day your
message came I ate through a
whole section of one of Moby
Dick's brothers. And with soda
bicarb beside me I wrote about
that for you too.
Beaver meat . , . . remember? I
searched all over London for that
and finally found it was being
served in the house of commons.
It wasn't so bad, I'll admit, once
I could keep thinking of loin of
pork.
Lemming Like Beaver '
And then there was lemming.
Lemming looks like beaver, and
when I thought I was eating beav
er one day I was told it really
was lemming, the little animal
who prowls around Scandinavia
like a big rat.
Those "continental steaks" I
ate so you could tell readers at
home what the British people
were going through .... How will
I ever be able to look a horse In
the eye again?
I've tried porcupine for you,
and some flesh I was told came
from a dark little beast with a
white stripe down his back. I've
done all this for you, don't for
get. But yak meat! Bill, I've got to
draw a line somewhere.
Cheerio, Bob.
Farmers' Living
Costs Lowered
Washington, Jan. 31 (Hi Prices
farmers have to pay for things
they buy were lower this month
than In the corresponding month
a year ago.
It's the first time that has hap
pened since August, 1939.
The agriculture department
said prices farmers paid for liv
ing cost Items, production tools,
interest and taxes in mid-January
averaged 1.2 per cent lower than
in mid-January, 1948.
The prices farmers received for
their commodities, on the other
hand, were down 13 per cent from
a year ago, the department said.
From mid-December to mid-January,
the department reported,
there was "no change" in either
prices paid or received by farmers.
It was the first time since July
that farm prices had stopped
skidding.
But department economists said
it doesn't necessarily point to a
leveling off in the gradual decline
of farm prices.
Kor one thing, the level of farm
prices usually goes up in January.
Furthermore, lower prices for
meat animals, dairy products,
poultry and eggs were largely
offset by the sharp price increas
es in fruits and vegetables caused
by the big California freeze.
The report showed farm prices,
on the whole, averaged 103 per
cent of parity. Parity is a price
calculated to give farmers the
same buving power they had in
the base period 190IM4.

Atomic Group
To Hold Meetings
I Denver. Jan. 31 un-Chairman
Brien Mc.Mahon said Saturday
that his joint congressional atomic
energy committee will hold public
hearings on progress of the U. S.
atomic program "as soon us pos
sible." In an address before the Colo
rado Press association, the Con
necticut senator said atomic en
ergy commission members will be
quizzed. Mc.Mahon said the hear
ings would touch on "political,
social, military and industrial im
plications" of tiie 33,800,000,000
atomic program.
Mc.Mahon said atomic secrecy
should be confined to matters af
fecting national security and he
called for broader understanding
of the vast government atomic
program. Even in the field of national
security, he said, "the area of
secrecy must be absolutely limit
ed to the necessities of security."
Hush is a powerful word,
Mc.Mahon said. "It is un insidious
word because, unless chucked, it
has an ivy-like tendency to grow
and coyer ever more and more
territory.
Commenting on the long Unit
ed Nations stalemate over the
U. S. proposal for international
control of atomic energy, McMa
hon said he is convinced Russia
has balked at the plan because sjie
fears "the two-way enlighten
ment" which would result from
admitting international inspectors
'behind the Stalin steel fence. '
This fear, he said, has dictated
a soviet policy of "lies and distor
tions" seeking to play down the
destructive potential of the atom
ic bomb and to misrepresent the
U. S. attitude on eventual world
control.
