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.

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.
