Cut in Retail Meat Prices May
Be Lead in Food Price Decline
iBr th. juoelud Prtw)
' The lone-awaited seasonal downturn in retail meat prices
got under way this week when pork cuts dropped two to 12
cents a pound in many stores across the nation.
nth., m.ata hava shown only scattered changes so far. But
the agriculture department said farm sales of meat animals will
continue to increase inougn inry-
fall and early winter monms
and prices of pork and beef are
expected to ease as supplies
mount. The decline for veal, and
Jamb prices may be smaller.
Pork livestock prices dropped
feelow the ore-Korean war lev
els at Chicago this week for the
first time as hog receipts climb
ed.
Prices of many other foods
slid back at the wholesale lev
el too, responding to the drop
In the commodity markets
which came last week with the
favorable turn of the Korean
war news.
- Declines in the wholesale
prices of such foods as eggs,
cocoa, potatoes, raisins, wheat
and barley, along with beef and
pork, pushing the Dun & Brad
street wholesale food price index
down 11 cents in the steepest
droo In more than a year. At
f 8.50 this week, the index was
the lowest since July 25 and
compared with $6.69 at the
year's peak Aug. 29.
1 The index represents the sum
total of the wholesale cost of one
pound each of 31 foods in gen
eral use. A year ago it stood 15
per cent higher at $5.65.
Large grade A eggs tipped
lower in many places this week,
dropping one to eight cents a
dozen in the first general down
turn In many weeks. (Egg prices
Increased in this area.)
On produce counters, apples,
map beans, onions, sweet po
tatoes, tomatoes, brussel sprouts,
and cauliflower were lower in
most places. Cantaloupes, honey
dew melons, prunes and cucum
bers edged a little higher.
' Cheese and onions were head
lined on the agriculture depart
ment's most-plentiful foods list
for this week. Storage stocks of
the important Cheddar variety
amounted to 285,000,000 pounds
en the first of September big
gest supply for any month since
records were , started 34 . years
ago. All classes of cheese are at
a record high of 314,000,000
pounds half again more than
a' year ago.
As for onions, the nation's
late crop this year is expected
to reach 33,400,000 sacks be
cause of unusually heavy yields
12 per cent over last year
and 15 per cent over the average
for the last 10 years.
Most of the large store chains
which roast their own coffees
and pack them in paper bags
boosted their prices one to four
cents a pound this week. The so-
called Independent roasters
whose brands are marketed In
vacuum tins announced similar
advances a week or two previ
ously, citing higher costs for
green coffee beans.

Cheaper Cotton
Seen Next Year
Washington, Oct. 5 (U.B Con
sumers can look forward to
cheaper cotton next summer
while growers will get a chance
to collect a record gross income
from next year's crop.
This prospective paradox
arose with the lifting of all gov
ernment planting and marketing
curbs on the 1951 crop.
The move is aimed at getting
a whopping increase in produc
tion next year to supply future
defense and civilian needs and
to replenish dwindling reserve
stocks. The government believes
a crop of at least 16,000,000
bales is needed.
Fearful of being swamped
with surpluses under the price
support program, the agriculture
department held down plantings
this year with rigid controls on
planting and marketing. The
program boomeranged.
Growers planted less cotton
than the controls permitted and
cotton consumption exceeded
all expectations. '
Threat of a shortage sent cot
ton prices booming to record
levels about a third higher
than the support price. In mid
September, growers received an
average of 39.98 cents a pound
compared with a support price
averaging slightly less than 30
cents.
To Fellowship Camp
Hubbard Rev. Ted Hastings
took about 30 boys and girls of
the Pilgrim Fellowship groups
from the three churches in the
greater Hubbard parish to Camp
Adams last week to attend the
Christian churches State Con
ference Camp. Planning of the
work for the year was accom
plished. The group was accom-1
panled by Harold Colgan of
Hubbard, Mrs. Paul Burkett of
Elliot Prairie, Mrs. Ted Free
man and Mrs. Ed Eyman of
Smyrna.
Hubbard Keith McNary, son
of Mr. and Mrs. C. K. McNary,
had a portion of the index finger
on his right hand removed last
week as a result of an injury sus-
tained during the summer.

New Movie Star Discovers
It Costs Money for His Dates
By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON
Hollywood. Oct. 5 (U.R) Tony Curtis, who likes to date pretty
girls, got to be a movie star last week. He still likes to date
girls but now he has to spend money at it.
And this is not good, our new star reports, on account of
they're still paying him his non-star salary.
Universal-International, the'
film factory that upped him to
the top after he beat every
big name on their list in fan
mail, says they're gonna get
around to changing that one of
these days.
"Meanwhile," Tony says, "I'm
going broke."
Two weeks ago he could call
up Shelley Winters or Ann Blyth
or Janet Leigh, take 'em to a
movie, treat 'em to a hambur
ger at a drive-in, and call it a
fine evening.
Now hes a big-shot. Now
he's gotta splurge.
'We used to go to the beach
and have a million laughs,"
Tony said. "Especially with
Janet. She's my new girl.
But I can t buy her a ham
burger now. If I do I'm a cheap
skate. It's gotta be Clro's, no
less."
His first taste of stardom.
outside of snagging the lead in
The Prince Who Was a Thief,'
came in the barber's chair.
"I went in for - a haircut,'
Tony explained. "I came out
with a massage, a manicure and
a shoeshine. They came at me
from all angles. Cost me five
bucks.
Actor Mark Stevens got to
him next. Told him he'd better
get a new top on his convertible.
Said people d start talking. -
"I figured he oughta know-
he's a star," Tony said. "But
his advice cost me $59.50." .
:
His tailor's giving him a bad
time, too. All of a sudden, the
guy "doesn't have a thing" un
der $135.
"And take my pals, Tony
added. "I used to wave when
I saw 'em. Now I have to stop
and talk. Otherwise I'm going
high-hat."
The only gent who appreciates
Tony's new stature is his room
mate, Marlon Brando.
Bubble Up in Money Affairs
Reflects Surge of Inflation
By SAM DAWSON
New York, Oct S W) A bubble-up In the money affaire of
citizens and nations today reflects the surge of Inflation.
Uncle Sam's books have gone into the black since the out
break of the Korean war although he has laid himself out to
pay huge sums for defense In the future.
Britain and other nations in
the sterling area have more than
doubled their hoard of gold and
dollar reserves In a year, with
the Korean war giving promise
of a richer golden stream ahead.
Canada's reserves of U.S. dol
lars Is also swelling as Uncle
Sam rearms, and its own dollar
looks better and better to Am
erican investors.
In this country the money
supply is at a new peak. A spurt
in bank credit part to finance
expanding industrial activity,
part to underwrite consumer
credit and instalment paper
has sent the volume of bank de
posits and money in the hands
of individuals to $171.1 billion,
an all-time high, the federal re
serve board reports.
This was a gain of $1.4 bil
lion since the war started, and a
jump of $700 million in the
month of August. The board
says only siuu million oi tne
August gain was in currency in
people's pockets. Demand de
posits rose $900 million. From
this total gain of $1 billion the
board deducts a fall in time de
posits of $200 million and in
postal savings deposits of $100
million.
This see-sawing of deposits,
credit, savings and money ap
parently gives another indica
tion that people have been dip
ping into their savings to buy
consumer goods. The rise in de
mand deposits is due, among
other things, to the rush of
money through the channels of
trade as buying increased all
along the line from retail stores
to suppliers of raw materials. It
also reflects the money banks
lent corporations to finance this
trade and production,
a
ThA sppnritfes and exchange
commission notes today that this
same drop in savings was well
unrierwav before the war. Re
porting on the months of April.
May and June, SEC finds that
Americans were savfhg $200
million less in "liquid" savings
than in the same momns oi
1949.
The contrast with prewar
years was even more striking.
In the first half of this year,
Americans were saving in "li
quid" form only one per cent
of income after taxes, but in
1940 they were saving almost
six per cent. SEC defines "li
quid" savings as currency and
bank deposits, equity In savings
and loan associations, insurance,
pension reserves, securities and
repayment of mortgage debt and
other consumer debt.
On this list, insurance and
pension reserves made the best
showing this year, rising to $1.3
billion. SEC notes that an im
portant form of non-liquid sav
ing purchases of homes was
way ahead of former years.
The U.S. treasury's going into
the black for better than $296
million in the first three months
of the Korean war is traced in
part to diminished government
spending, but in much greater
amount in increased tax re
ceipts.
Ravens will prey on small
wild animals, occasionally even
on iambs, says the National Ge
ographic Society.
Judge Attacks
Red Directives
Pitsburgh, Oct. S 0JJ9 Judge
Michael A. Musmanno said yes
terday "directives from the na
tional office of the communist
party ... to district leaders
throughout the United States
read like instructions from the
war office of a nation preparing
for mobilization."
The Pittsburgh Jurist, now
campaigning for lieutenant-governor
on the democratic ticket,
disclosed that papers seized in
a raid on Pittsburgh communist
party headquarters "prove the
communist party is a direct arm
of the Soviet government."
One of the documents, Mus
manno said, contained a call for
direct action. He quoted it as
saying:
"There is a need to orient the
party to be prepared for emer
gency mobilization on immedi
ate developments. We have to
ask ourselves: Is the party ready
for rapid mobilization, let us
say, to organize thousands of
open air meetings and rallies at
short notice. In the event of an
important development which
demands reaching the people
and winning them for quick
action on one or another issue?
We must guarantee that our
party organizations are ready
for such mobilizations around
specific emergency issues at all
times as they arise."
Musmanno seized the docu
ment when he 'and city police
ralrieH tha communist offices
after the Pennsylvania supreme
court last week overruled a
county court order closing the
offices.
