chairman of the committee, who
- presided.
Other .speakers were Charles

Turkey Consumption To Cost Americans
About Half Billion Dollars
New York iU.Pi Americans
will spend about half a billion
dollars" this year for turkeys,
most of it at Thanksgiving and
Christmas.
Millions of gobblers have
gone to the guillotine in the past
few months and those that sur
vived the annual Thanksgiving
slaughter face a gloomy future.
-Another purge is planned before
Christmas.
The 1956 turkey crop is a big

14 for each American family.

that dumped four -to eight inches
of snow on many of the hard hit

. Meanwhile, weathermen ad

should be generally fair but un
seasonably cold across much of
the nation.
Mild, rainy weather was ex

Thursday while snow flurries
were forecast for the Great
Lakes' region and the central
and northern Appalachians.
Light snow also was the pros

A more wintry forecast caused
heavy snow warnings to be is
issued for Wisconsin, Minnesota
and upper Michigan.
Bad highway conditions posed

Peak in October
The Department of Agricul
ture estimated that about 75 per
cent of the turkey crop will
have been killed and processed
by the end of November. The
peak slaughtering period is Oc
tober, a spokesman said.
The banner turkey crop bears
lower price tags this year than
last, according to the DOA. The
I department estimated that tur
key prices at retail are running
anywhere from six to 10 cents
ever, hoped to have highways
cleared before the bulk of the
turkey day traffic began.
The National Safety council
hoped the nation's traffic toll
would be held by the foul weath
er below the 110 deaths normal
for a non-holiday Thursday late
in November.

Long-Time Favorite
Turkeys have been, the over
whelming favorite at the
Thanksgiving table ever since
1621.
Turkey consumption in the
U.S., the country that made the
gobbler famous tit has been sug
gested as the national emblem
to replace the eagle), has been
rising -steadily through the
years.
This year, according to the
Department of Agriculture, tur
key consumption will average
5.4 pounds for every man, wom
an and child in the country.
That compares with 3.2 last year
and 2.1 pounds in the years
prior to W orld War II.
Actually, the turkeys you'll
eat this year are a far cry from
the long-legged, scrawny, tough
old birds the Pilgrims chomped
on back in the 17th century.
They don't even look alike.
The fact that gobblers are bet
ter tasting today than ever be
fore is no accident.
More Eating
Experimen tation in the
breeding and feeding of turkeys
has resulted in birds with shor
ter and thicker legs, heavier and
meatier breasts and better fla
vor. Turkeys today are milk fed
and often receive a diet fortified
with vitamins.
Greatly improved methods
of processing now are opening
up a year-round market. Tur
keys killed now can be quick
frozen and sold six or nine
months later.
Turkeys, in a sense, are
frauds. They got their names as
a result of a misunderstanding.
The birds at first were confused
with the guinea fowl, a delicacy
imported from Africa into Eu
rope through Turkey. Thus the
name.

Shrugs Off Soviet
Anti-West Tirades
Washington (U.R) The
United States is shrue ein? off
Soviet Communist boss Nikita
Khrushchev's latest anti-Western
tirades at Moscow recep
tions.
The bitter words are. being
credited by U. S. officials to
merely a combined attack of
vodka and frustration over Sov
iet reverses in Eastern Europe.
Walked out of Range
Khrushchev gave out last
week end with one anti-Western
tirade at a reception honoring
Polish officials at the Kremlin
and another at a reception at
the Polish Embassy.
U. S. Ambassador Charles E.
Bohlen and other Western diplo
mats walked out of range as
Khrushchev stormed about "in
trigues of imperialists" in the
Middle East and Hungary.
The walkout let the Russians
know how the Western diplo
mats felt. But the State Depart
ment doesn't think the incident
worth carrying any further.
No Longer Cuts Deep
That is what World War II
and the cold war have done to
ward toughening the hide of
international diplomacy. Harsh
and insulting language no long
er cuts as deep as it once did.
In years not far back the re
action would have been sharper.
Old style diplomacy probably
would have called for a protest,
envoys would have been ordered
home for "consultation" and dip
lomatic relations might have
been cut.
But the United States today re
gards the keeping open of dip
lomatic relations an important
way to watch for trouble and
possibly to prevent it.

Small Army Fights
California Fire;
One Man Killed
San Bernardino, Calif. '!U.R)
A small army of firefighters
massed forces today to battle a
wind whipped brush fire which
has gutted more than 7,000
acres, claimed one life and
burned seven other persons.
Gusty winds fanned the blaze
into an inferno along two fronts
but the more than 1,000 fire
fighters hoped to contain the
western front some time today.
The eastern flank was burning
out of control in nearly inacces
sible terrain.
Two Critically Burned
Two firefighters were critical
ly burned Tuesday when leaping
flames broke through lines in
the Plunge creek area. Three
others also suffered burns in
separate mishaps.
Edwin D. Bass, 27, Riverside,
Calif., a bulldozer operator, died
early Tuesday of burns suffered
Monday night. Two companions
also were hospitalized with
burns suffered when they be
came trapped by a sudden wind
shift.
Dick Johnson, fire prevention
officer for the San Bernardino
National forest, said if the fire
continued advancing in its north
easterly direction on the eastern
flank it could threaten the
mountain resort of Running
Springs. But he said the resort
and its 500 permanent residents
were about three miles away and
such a threat was only "a re
mote possibility at this time."
