STEIBINS ' ' wife and 6-year-old daughter Tarn- ara, arrived by United Airlines Air Defense Games Held COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo W American and Canadian airmen and civilian volunteers this week end are "lighting" invaders from the north In a massive air defense training maneuver. -Since late yesterday morning, . heavy bombers from the U.S. and RCAF Air Defense Commands have been looping around the po lar region of she north and heading for strategic defense areas of the two countries. Coming in at high and low al titudes, they caused a continental "a 1 e r t" which spreads rapidly across North America.

Scheherazade related the fabulous tales of the Thousand and One Nights. Baghdad was a syn onym for romance and gaiety. To day the traveler's first Impression of Baghdad is a filthy, dusty city, hot In summer and too "cold for comfort in winter. The Caliph's days are recalled mainly by the fact that Baghdad's main street is named Harun Al Kashld. But the street itself is a sad sight. Flanked by rows of ugly arcades painted a sickly blue, it runs along the Tigris between rows of ramshackle buildings. The struc tures are old but not antique, un comfortable but not quaint. Even the flies can't stand the Baghdad summers. As spring fades away, the heat kills them. The real "hot spell" here falls In late July and, August, when tem peratures soar to 130 for as much as two weeks at a time. Older inhabitants go underground during the day and come out at night to carry beds to the rooftops where the family aleepa. To see something of the almost hidden charm of modern Bagh dad It la necessary to get away from Harun Al Rashid Street to either the very new or the very old sections of town. Looking back from the new sec tion to the old city, you can get a glimpse of the glory that Baghdad once knew. Because the unstable ground forbids buildings of more than two or three stories, the sky line is dominated by the domes and minarets of its many Perslan . type mosques. Returning to the old city along the Tigris, you can get s good look at the way ancient Baghdad bought and sold in the colorful and noisy bazaar district. Like most oriental market places, Baghdad's bazaar Is a labryrlnth of narrow covered streets. DANCE July 10th At "bed. bam ' Dorrit, California The Capital City Jazz Band DANCING 10 till 2 Calif.

Chicago Beef Sales Rise CHICAGO Hogs ended , . hi. week, lamely because of a sharp break on Thursday when the largest receipts since January arrived. Barrows and gilts weighing less than 270 pounds lost 11-25 to $1.50 while heavier weights dropped $1 15. Sows, which made up S8 per cent of the week's receipts, fell $1 75 to tz.OO. The decline was at tributed entirely to heavy receipts as most wholesale port cuts aa- vanced. Recelpts also were very heavy In the cattle section, totaling 30 per cent more than in the previ ous week and 23 per cent mgner than in the like IKS week. The run on Monday was the largest for any July day in eight years. Steers and hellers generally closed the week steady to 60 cents lower. Cows were weak to $1.00 tower, bulls strong to 50 cents higher and vealera 11-00 to 12.00 higher. An upturn in wholesale prices of dressed lamb was largely re sponsible for gains in spring lambs, which closed $100 higher. Receipts were allghtly larger than a week ago and about ths same as a year ago. Con Man Bilks Meat Company SAN DIEOO, Calif.

Women admired the beautiful steaks which dealers, freed on July 3 of government control for the first time in more than 14 years, displayed in thrtr shops. BUI, wiui prices generally double what they were In rationing days. women were Buying little meat. Hundreds ot tons plied up In the shops, and by the weekend prices had tumbled to levels In some cases lower than those prevailing in the years of government regula tion. Some merchants who had counted on a rush for meat have lost money. I made a tasty window display of lovely meat with price tags at tached," said a butcher In London's Paddington district. He was able to make a display of fresh meat because London July tempera tures have been like the inside of a refrigerator. "Well. I watched the first 14 women who took an interest." the butcher said. Thirteen turned un their noses and walked away. One came in and bought a kidney. That's no way to run a butcher shop, and I guess the ladies have won." , As a result, cuts of beef were settling down to a central nrird level somewhat higher than In ra tioning days. Lamb chons re mained about the same. Some stewlr,g meats and mutton were cheaper. Most dealers exnected nricm would stabilize at Just a little above the range of rationing days. Prices against which Brin.h housewives rebelled are not com parable with meat costs In other lands because in Britain a retail price does not reveal aubsldles wnicn may be aa high aa 60 ner cent. But steaks they shunned at aooui 79 cents a pound. They were accustomed to paying about 47 cents. Lamb chops remained steady at 42 cents, stewing steak in the free market was 37 cents. It Is down to 33 cents.
