Bread Prices to
Go Upward
New York VP) The house
wife who thought that falling
wheat prices on the Chicago
Board of . Trade might lead to
cheaper bread at the grocery
may De startled next week.
Some brands of bread will
cost a cent a loaf more after
Labor Day. In a few cities the
price has already risen.
Bakers say that's because
flour costs them more now
than a year ago. Lard costs
them more than at any time
since 1951." The" milk which
some use costs more. Labor in
baking and trucking the bread
costs more.
Pictures of wheat surpluses
overflowing storage bins and
being left on the ground led
many to expect a drop in the
cost of flour and bread.
Purchasing agents in the bak-
ing industry, however, say
tney pay so cents more than
last year for a hundred pound
sack of the kind of flour used
in bread making.
Flour millers explain it this
way:
Bakers of bread prefer flour
from'Jiard red winter wheat.
This year's crop of that var
iety was only 70 per cent of
the size of the 1952 crop in
contrast to the entire wheat
crop, which fell Into the bump
er class again this year.
88,000 Cut From
Federal Payrolls
Washington m The Civil
Service Commission says fed
eral payrolls have been trim
med since January by a net of
about 88,00Q. persons.
' As of July 31, the commis
sion' reported yesterday, there
were 2,47,200 federal em
ployes, compared with the
June 1945 high ot 3,769,846
and the postwar low of 1.699,
444 in June 1950.
Army Cancels
Cut in Draff
Washington U The de
fense department has cancel
led scheduled rut In army
manpower and will continue
drafting men at about the
preeeni rat until stable peace
la achieved In Korea, it was
learned today.
A high Pentagon official
aald tht administration hi
dtclded It would be foolhardy
to weaken the U.S. mllitarv
position In the Far East
simply because a truce has
been signed.
The defense danartmant
previously had believed th
Korean truce would make lt
possible to trim the army's
strength by 50.000 men. .nrt
thus reduce draft calls from
the current level of 23,000 a
month to about 19,000 a
month starting in November.
But the Pentason nfflplal
said the November draft call,
not yet officially announced,
will be for 23,000 men.
He aaid draft calls will re.
main at that level, barring an
increase in enlistments, unless
Or until it annean that " I
firm agreement" has be n
reached with the communists
at the forthcoming Korean
Political Conference.
The 50,000 cut -in army
U-ength would have been in
addition to a reduction of
100,000 men - planned as an
economy move before the
Korean truce was signed.
