(See story Page 1.) listed as declining somewhat during the past week. To Remain High The agriculture department warned, meanwhile, that prices of most meats would remain high throughout the summer although a few types may decline for a time. The department added, however, that "further advances are likely later. "The long-run outlook is for demand to increase substantial ly," the department said. The United Pres survey show ed that the average price of meat had increased substantial ly since a year ago, with the biggest rise shown last month. Beef, particularly the better cuts, increased the most. Lamb and pork rose only slightly and de clined in some cities. Here is a table of average ? rices for the 19 cities surveyed: ype Mrt Price Month Year Today Ako Ago Sirloin 95 .86 .80 Porterhouse 1.04 .95 .87 Filet Mignon ....1.90 1.73 1.47 Ground Round.. .81 .76 .73 Lamb Chops ....1.11 1.03 1.00 Pork Chops 79 .72 .75 Bacon 64 .59 .61 Near Ail-Time Record At Chicago, beof prices were reported approaching all-time records set two years ago. Prices on beef were up six to 10 cents over a month ago. Almost all types of steaks sold for more than $1. The high prices generally were blamed on heavy demand by housewives for top grade meat and on a shortage of best grade cattle. The survey showed that the price of porterhouse has jumped at Omaha from 79 cents a year ago and 89 cents a month ago to $1.19 a pound tocWy. At Atlanta, porterhouse prices zoomed from .89 a year ago to $1.15 today. Filet Mignon climbed from 85 cents a year ago at Columbus, O., to a high of $1.60 a pound.

Friday, June 9. 1950 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVI Better Light Bulb May Result from Firefly Search Oak Ridge. Tenn., June 9 (U.R) Oak Ridge youngsters went hunting 100,000 tireflies today to help science find out why the lowly insect carries its own tail light. A better light bulb may result. Rr. Bernard L. Strehler of Johns Hopkins university put a price of two bits per 100 on the firefly's head. He wants 100,000 of them to experiment with. "What we find out about the firefly's ability to produce light from the food it eats may eventu ally show us how we can pro duce visible light more effici ently." Strehler said. Use Butterfly Neli Youngsters swarmed into the fields and parks of Oak Ridge armed with homemade butterfly nets. Strehler will collect the finds every Monday, Wednesday, Fri day and Saturday. He will use them for the next two years in research at the Oak Ridge Na tional laboratory. While much of his work will be basic research. Strehler said, science hopes to learn why the firefly's light is more efficient than that produced by an ordin ary electric light bulb. Visible Light Wasted Regular bulbs, he said, are only about 15 per cent efficient since much of their visible light Jury Deliberates Accused Man's Fate San Jose, Cal., June 9 (U.R) A jury of six men and six wom en begins deliberating today whether Thomas Talle shot his wife, Marge, to death at their luxurious Los Gatos home the night of December 23. The jury was to receive the case after Superior Judge Wil liam James gives his instruc tions. Court was to convene at 9 a.m. and the judge said his instructions would take no longer than 40 minutes. Talle is accused of murdering his wife with two shots from a is wasted. Fluorescent light is about 45 per cent efficient, Strehler said, and science thinks that the firefly's light is prob ably more efficient than that. He said the fireflies should be placed in the refrigerator when caught. He will not accept any mangled fireflies.
