eral Grand Jury investigation of

Unfilled Promise

hower had "one unfilled promise
to the American people" to
"bring to the bar of justice those

blood and tears in Korea and the

General Herbert Brownell

Republicans) should never be re-

am opposed to that."
The Senate foreign affairs ex
perts made the statements as
Western diplomats puzzled over
the meaning of Soviet Russia's
reply to the U.S.-British - French
invitation to attend a Big Four
foreign ministers conference on
Germany and Austria. The Sov
iet reply appeared to accept a
meeting on German problems
but it was coupled with a strong
plea for a broader discussion of
general world problems. It said
Red China's participation would
be essential for such a meeting.
Door Said Left Open
After a full day of analyzing
the Soviet note,, the State De
partment would say only that
its experts agreed the Russian
reply "leaves the door open'
for a meeting on Germany. They
said, however, that the rest of
the note had so many ambigui
ties that the experts were far
from certain what else the Sov
iet Union has in mind.

Crop of Spring Pigs
Lowers Hog Market
Chicago (U.R)
The farmi
belts spring pig crop pushed
live hog prices down sharply to
day, and market experts predict
ed that housewives would be
able to buy cheaper pork chops
in a week or two. '
Hog prices, which had been
dropping for nine straight days
at major . Midwest markets.
broke sharply yesterday. At Chi
cago, the country's largest hog
market, prices fell 75 cents to
$1.50 per hundred pounds to the
lowest levels in three months.
Receipts Higher
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture estimated receipts at
Chicago's stockyards today at
30,700 head, or almost a thous
and more hogs than the 29,790
animals brought to market a
week ago.
The heavy shipments were a
big factor in depressing pork
prices - ' ' '
Analysts predicted the price
changes would be reflected in
retail prices at butcher, shops
either this week or the next.

It was welcome news to shor
pers, who have been forced to
pay record or near record prices
for pork in recent weeks.
Attributed to Spring Pigs .
A United Press survey recent
ly showed that better pork cuts
were selling for a dollar or more
a pound In many cities and pork
chops were bringing wl record
$1.10 at New York City.
The steady fall in live hog
prices was attributed by a
spokesman for the Department
of Agriculture to the arrival of
spring pigs from the Southern
cornbelt states of Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois.
The bulk of the nation's spring
pig crop will not be marketed
until October, November and
December, and it was likely that
prices will drop even more.
