Meat Drices are rising swiftly,
led by a skyrocketing boost in
the price of oeet, a unitea i-ress
survey in 19 cities showed to

near record levels in some cities
are part of a general pattern
in which housewives are paying
more tor almost all types of
foods.
Highest Level

ket report showed wholesale
food prices at their highest level
since Jan. 18, 1949. The index
rose six cents during the past
week to a level of $6. A year ago
it stood at $5.75 and it was $6.02
on Jan. 18, 1949.
Flour, oats, hams, lard, cheese,
coffee, cocoa, eggs, potatoes,
raisins and lambs were listed as
selling for higher prices. But
beef and hogs were among foods
ern Oregon college tuition

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.
Detroit seemed to be fring
best in the rising market. It was
the only city where sirloin
showed a price decrease from
.95 a year ago to today's price
of .93. Porterhouse remained
steady at 99 cents. But filet mig
non had been boosted from $1.79
a year ago to $1.97. Lamb chops
sold for the same price as a
year ago $1.29 a pound.
Pork chops were cheaper to
day at Salt Lake City. Indian
apolis. Dallas, Washington, De
troit, and New York and siooci
at the same levels as a year ago
at San Francisco and Chicago.
Prices on them were up at Des
Moines, Omaha, Milwaukee,
Madison, Wis., Minneapolis, Port
land, Ore., Atlanta, Cleveland,
Oklahoma City, and Columbus,
O.
Bacon prices had declined
from a year ago at ban rran
Cisco. Portland, Dallas. Detroit,
and New York, remained steady
at Salt Lake City and Cnicago,
and were higher in the other
towns.

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.
