PACE TEN Predictions Point Out That Cost Of Eating In U.S. Vill Continue To Soar In 1948 NEW YORK, Jon. 3 ( Amer ica's food bill Is still going up. Food dealers and processors predict prices In 1948 on most food Items will be as high as now, or higher. They anticipate 1948 food store sales will top 1947's estimated (28 billion, which soared $4 billion over 1948 and compares with $10 billion In 1938. The nation's total food bill in 1947 restaurant, larm and store volume was around $47 billion, against 43 billion in 1948 and 24 billion In 1939. The food Industry expects sup plies to be adequate, with perhaps temporary shortages In some brands Morse Hits Appeals For Meat Ration WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 WV Senator Morse (R-Ore.) today criticized eastern members of con gress who have suggested meat ra tioning and he demanded minimum government controls of corporate profits and basic Industrial mate' rials. "They should not be allowed to have those controls just to the us ing of their industrial constituents, ' Morse said In a statement. "If it is right to exercise mini mum government controls in the field of food supply, then it is right to exercise minimum inflation con trols in the field of industrial sup plies which the consumer must said he had "noted the gieat concern of my good friend Senator Flanders (R-VU over the prospective shortage of meat sup plies." Police Stat "In fact I have noted that a con siderable number of eastern sena tors seem to be ready and willing to place compulsory government checks and controls upon the prod ucts of the American farm but cry about 'police state methods' when anyone suggests some checks and controls upon corporate profits and allocation of the short supply of basic Industrial materials." "I wonder if some of these sena tors are beginning to recognize, none too soon, that the anti-inflation bill which they voted for in the special session of congress will not be effective." Morse said he did not want the country to go back to the drastic wartime controls." "I think it Is perfectly clear that It is the duty of congress to do whatever can be done by way of legislation in setting up minimum government controls as a gun be hind the door to be used only If and when American business forces fail to take the steps they should take in checking inflation," the senator said. Anderson Predicts Meat Ration WASHINGTON. Jan. 3 JPh Americans will be asking for meat rationing by spring. Secretary of Agriculture Anderson said last night. He told a radio audience (WOL Mutual) that he does not know whose job it would be to prepare ration forms if congress passes such a program, but he said the agricul ture department is preparing to do so if asked. "I hope we won't have to ration anything except meat." he said. "I believe rationing of this important food will have a strong effect on other food commodities and it will not be necessary to have any other controls." Portland Getting Warmer Steadily PORTLAND, Jan. 3 M The weather bureau's annual report to day made it clear that for 24 con secutive years it's been warmer than normal in Portland. Now don't get hasty and sug gest that a new "normal" is needed. Weather men take long-range views of these things and are not about to jump to any conclusions on a mere quarter-century experi ence. Their records go back 72 years here, and on that basis it was cloudier, but warmer and dryer than normal in 1947. The total rainfall was 38.93 inches, 2.69 below average. There were 218 cloudy days, compared with the normal 178. The temperature average was S5.8 degrees, compared with the normal of 53.1.

Phone 9325 or products, but always "enough food for a nutritious diet." Specifically, the food picture tor 1948. as outlined by Paul S. Willis, president of the Grocery Manufac turers of America, Inc., shows: A meat supply of 146 pounds a person, 10 pounds less Hum in 1947, but 20 more than the 1935-39 aver age however, meat will cost even more titan 1947, the year of the dol lar and higher steak. Less milk in the first part ol 1948, but with prices fluctuating less and touching neither the 1947 lows nor highs. More cooking fats and oils (99 billion pounds, against 9.8 billion pounds In 1947), but increasing ex ports will keep prices high. High prices lor everything de riving from grain bread, cereals, meat, poultry and eggs. Freight car shortages continue to hamper food movements, Willis says, and the demand for cars "worked to prevent proper clean ing before loading so that 1947 was the worst year in a long time tor serious loss of food through product infestation." The beer can will probably dis appear lor awhile, due to tin and sheet steel shortages, C. R. Havig horst, associate editor of Food In dustries magazine, predicts. The year will open with "meatless Tuesdays" and "eggless Thursdays" still on the docket, but "poultryless Thursdays" fizzled quickly. In spite of high prices, some shortages and conservation cam paigns, Americans ate more and better in 1947 than ever before. With national income expected to oe as nign or higher in 1948. they seem set to set still another record around the dinner table.

Jan. 3 Holiday train passengers appeared to be fascinated by the heavy snow at Cascade Summit and quite often requested the conductors to get them a handful of snow. Three youthful coach occupants remained up until the wee hours of the morning to glimpse the snow and then demanded an Icicle from the eaves of the Southern Pacific depot. After the Icicle was knocked from Its perch and duly presented to the young gentlemen, they con tinued happily on their way. Wet Snow Covers Cascade Summit CASCADE SUMMIT. Jan. 3 After quietly welcoming the new year. Cascade Summit residents are being steadily but thoroughly snowed under. Recurring wet snows have piled up an average of 10 Inches of packed snow in 38 hours.
