TREES TOPPING FELLING REMOVING TRIMMING Free Eslmate Ph. 7971 Insured Attack Begun On High Prices (By the United Preu) The government launched a direct multi-pronged attack on high food prices today as the nation watched its Dig grain markets to see if the general decline in prices would extend into the new week. If prices continue to fall on the livestock, grain and com modity exchanges as they did last week, retail prices may be expected to follow within week or so. Butter and eggs already were selling cheaper in many sec tions. Some prices apparently were pushed downward by buy er resistance, including organ ized threats of buyers' strikes. President Truman, back from his South American diplomatic tour, began a series of confer ences with top cabinet officials to determine how to increase aid to Europe and at the same time stablilize prices at home. Simullaneouly, justice depart- fment officials at Chicago began selecting 45 veniremen for a grand jury investigation of meat prices. The investigation may be extended to milk prices later.
