Servicemen American Travelers Continue to Visit Russia in Numbers ATTEND SCHOOL Miss Judith D. Minear, daughter of Mrs. Bert Imsey. 605 Elkadcr St., Ashland, will report to the Naval Training center. San Dieo, Calif., later this week after spending two weeks leave with her mother Miss Minear, a WAVE in the U.S. Navy, graduated ear lier this month after receiv ing her recruit training at the U.S. Naval Training center, Bainbridge, Md. Mirs Minear will attend dental technician school at ..San Diego Moscow - il'PII - American travelers have continued to visit the Soviet Union in in creasing numbers despite the case of the auto traveler ar rested last year as a spy and an official barrage of angry words about Berlin and other matters. An American travel expert said that the increase in Am erican tourists appears to be about 10 per cent over last year, as the tourist season enters its final quarter. Exact figures of Western tourists travel to the Soviet Union will not be available until the end of the year. But the expert said it appears now as if British and French tourists may have declined somewhat, as compared to Americans. International Meetings What seems to have boosted American travel to the Soviet Union has been numerous in ternational gatherings. These included the Tchaik ovsky Music Competion in May, the World Congress for Disarmament and Peace and the Eighth International Can cer Congress in July, the ex pert said. The 5.000 delegates to the cancer congress posed such a housing problem during one of the main tourist months that "Intourisl." the Soviet travel agency, created a spe cial department to find rooms. The International European Meat Conference here in Au- gust and the Wine Growers International Conference in Tbilisi in September are also expected to bring a further jump in tourism. Vladimir Babkin, manager of the American and British department of "Intourist," said that American tourism declined somewhat last year, possibly because of the strain ed international situation aft er the Berlin Wall was con structed in August. The Soviet travel author ities, he said, were preparing this year for a marked in crease of American tourists, perhaps by as much as 20 per cent. Of the 700.000 tourists who visited the Soviet Union last .year, 12.000 were Americans. ! This compares to 15.000 tour ists from the United States in j I960. Last year's tourist season j was somewhat marred by the arrests of a number of auto travellers on charges of es i pionage. These included four West I Germans, two Dutchmen and I an American student, William longer take automobile book ings to the Soviet Union. It gave lack of accommodation as the reason for the decision. Babkin said the situation re garding car travel to the So viet Union has not changed. But he said "several dor en" tourists, including Amer icans had travelled to the Soviet Union by car because they made their reservations before February.

(UPI) Path of Beef From Foodlot To Counter Keeps Prices High wasliiiiKton (UPli-ll may be on the way from foodlot to re- something of a Jolt to pay $1.20 a pound for T-bone steak at the retail counter when choice steers on the hoof sell for about 25 cents a pound. Docs the difference 05 cents go to pay fnr I'v cost j of marketing beef? No. indeed, is tin- 'I the Agriculture Dcp , ,'s Economic Research Sri vice. Marketing margins for beet add up to about 30 cents, ac cording to ERS. That plus the farm price of 25 cents makes 55 cents. The other 65 cents is hid den in statistical averages on the farm and at the retail counter. Not all Steak Look at it this way. On the i farm a 1. 000-pound steer Is worth 25 cents a pound, but it's not all steak. Some 550 pounds of the animal end up as hide, liver, heart, fat, bone, and even waste For this part tail counter. To spell it out step by step, the farmer gets 50 cents a pound for the 450 pounds of meat sold at retail. The pack er gets around 10 cents a pound of meal sold at retail. The packer gets around 10 cents a pound for his services. Hiid the retailer 20 cents. Now, according to ERS, add another 40 cents as the cost of a taste for sleak-and there is $1.20. Willing To Pay Many who like good steak are willing to pay for it - 70 cents a pound more than the farm value of the meat. It takes about 1,000 pounds of steer to put 30 pounds of T- I bone, porterhouse, or club steak on the counter. The high price keeps people's tastes for steak in line with supply. At the same lime, the steer yields 150 pounds of hambur ger and stew meat This can of the steer the farmer gets i be purchased for 58 to 60 j less than 4 cents apound. But cents a pound, just a little for tne 430 pounds that will j more than what the farmer end up as beef on the retail got for the meat part of his counter, he averages about 50 cents a pound. At the other end of the line, the retail price for all cuts of this choice beef averages 80 cents a pound. The 30-cent difference cov ers all that happens to beef animal. Aside from steak and ham burger, a carcass of beef is made up of about 90 pounds of chuck steak, 40 pounds of rib roast, 50 pour.ds of sir loin, 20 pounds of rump roast, and 70 pounds of round steak. 1?
