Under the pro-rate system,
the commission will pay the

pro-rated reductions will be
made arbitrarily in tlie future

In addition, Juras noted nurs

Juras warned serious budget

Of this amount, $1.8 million is

from counties.
Cuts outlined under the
austerity program eliminate 54

a delay in filling nine others.
Other major cutbacks:
Five per cent reduction in
services and supplies.
Eliminate $5 increase in
nursing home rates.
Eliminate 10 per cent in

and four per cent increase in

ers might use the increase in
wheat prices to hike bread
prices, but that this would be
unwarranted.
"Neither the price of wheat
nor the prospective sales to
Russia can be cited as the rea
son. Bread prices did not de
cline this summer when flour
prices fell; there is no basis in
slightly higher flour prices for
higher bread prices now or lat
er this year."
Despite President Kennedy's
announced approval Oct. 9, the
transaction remained stalled on
the issue of U.S. shipping

a condition of the sale that the

Warning Issued On Great Lakes Smoked Fish
WASHINGTON (UPI I - The
nation's housewives were urged
today to destroy all smoked
fish known to have been caught
or processed in the Great
Lakes area.
Commissioner George P. Lar
rick of the Food & Drug Ad
ministration (FDA ordered the
emergency measures into effect
Friday night in a move to stem
new outbreaks of the deadly
type-E botulism poisoning.
Larrick said the "destroy"
order was aimed at smoked
fish products that arc "pack
aged in sealed plastic wrappers
and those that are sold in bulk
without any package." Canned
fish products mo not involved,
he said.
Larrick issued the order aft
er receiving a report from FDA
scientists and from an advisory
panel of experts who made an
independent study of seven re
cent deaths traced to botu-lism-E
and stemming from
smoked whitcfish processed by
the H. J. Hornbos & Bros. Co.
at Grand Haven, Mich.
In the course of the investi
gation, the FDA said, traces of
botulism-E were found in at
least three oilier fish process
ing plants in the Great Lakes
area. '
The emergency measures
proposed by the panel were
adopted "with modifications,"
Larrick said, pending develop
ment of more complete infor
mation on the sources of con
tamination. He said the FDA's
investigation of the botulism
hazard was continuing.
