Surplus Eggs
Eyed by Britain
Washington, March 18 (U.R)
The government was reported
ready today to sell more than
1,000,000,000 of its price support
eggs to Britain at prices averag
ing less than 13 cents a dozen.'
Informants said U S and Brit
ish negotiators were close to
agreement on the multi-million
dollar deal, probably the biggest
egg transaction in world history.
The eggs which have been
de-shelled and dried into pow
der are part of Uncle Sam's
vast "surplus" food hoard. The
eggs were taken off the market
in 1048 and 1949 to hold up farm
prices.
The big problem has been
how to get rid of them without
pushing down domestic prices.,
The department has about
$1.30 a pound invested in egg
powder. That is equivalent to
about 43 cents a dozen.
If the deal .with Britain is
completed, informants said, the
sale price is expected to be less
than 40 cents a pound (equiva
lent to 13 cents a dozen).
Actually, the transaction
would return less than that
amount to the treasury. A por
tion of the money the British
would use would be supplied by
the economic cooperation admin
istration under the Marshall aid
program.
Some reports said Britain was
expected to take 35 000,000 to
40,000,000 pounds of egg pow
der. The U.S. government now
holds about 85,000.000 pounds
of egg powder.

Knuckle-Loving
Husband Put
On Probation
Newark, N.J., March 16 m
When he beat her because she
served him spare ribs instead of
pig's knuckles with sauerkraut,
she testified, that was the straw
that broke the camel's back.
The woman appeared in fam
ily court yesterday to tell her
story.
The trouble all started on
their wedding night 13 years
ago, she said, when her bride
groom tearfully confessed he
really was from Pittsburgh in
stead of Baltimore as he had
told .her before they were mar
ried.
Since that first deception,
things went from bad to worse,
she claimed.
Lately he took to beating her
when he came home from work,
she said, but "never in the mor
nings and never ' on Saturday
and Sunday when he doesn't
work."
The acting magistrate put the
knuckle-loving husband on six
months' probation.

March 16 (U.R) Larry Hightow-
er, the only man to pusn a
wheelbarrow to the top of Pike's
Peak, left the deserted summit
house and started back to Col
orado Springs today.
It took him five days to reach
the top of the 14,110-foot moun
tain. Going down, he figured it
would take about two days to
cover the 26 miles.
The 49-year-old Ellensburg,
Wash., man reached the top at
3:30 p.m. yesterday. His stub
ble of beard was covered with
frost from the near-zero tem

Lora Lee Michel
Now Court Ward
Los Angeles, March 16 VP)
Lora Lee Michel, 9, who ran
away from her life as a $100 a
day film actress, today faces an
existence virtually that of an
orphan a ward of the court.
Juvenile Judge A. A. Scott
yesterday said Lora Lee "will
be kept in Juvenile Hall and
studied for awhile, then she will
be replaced in another foster
home where she can have fun
like any other child."
The child twice has complain
ed to authorities that she was
beaten and starved in order to
keep her weight down for movie
roles. Tuesday, however, she
reversed her story and told
Judge Scott her foster parents
had been "wonderful" to her.
"Because Lora Lee is a prob
lem child, without question, we
expect to have considerable dif
ficulty in finding a home to suit
her needs," the judge said yes
terday. "She will be permitted normal
visitation privileges from her
foster parents and she may, if
her viewpoint responds satisfac
torily, be permitted at some fu
ture time to return to Texas with
them in the event they wish to
return there."
Her foster parents are Mr. and
Mrs. Otto Michel, who adopted
the child in 1945 in Texas. Since
coming here, Lora Lee has play
ed in a score of movies.
