Huge Run of Hogs to Market
Sends Prices 7umbIing
Increased Shipments Laid PurtIy
To OPA's Threat of Price Ceilings

attributed this to the fact that
producers were holding up hogs to
fatten them as much as possible
because they had plenty of corn and
because Government requirements
centered on heavy hogs which are
high in lard yield.
Some livestock men said they
hoped today's price break might
modify Government price ceilings
plans, inasmuch as Washington re-
ports suggested Federal officials had
been disappointed in the failure of
increased supplies to check the ris-
ing mraket. If the ceiling threat
was designed to stimulate market
ings, they said, it worked magically,
because farmers sent 21,00O head
to market here. or 1000 more than
packers received a week ago. Big
runs appeared at some other mar
kets. 44-.. ...s.a--
Farmers at the behest of the Gov
ernment produced an estimated g.
100000 pigs last spring, or Is per
cent more than year earlier. These
they have been fattening all sum-
mer and are ready for market now.
Government agents estimate that
the slaughter of hogs from october
through December under Federal
inspection alone. may amount to
100000 head, or 100000 more
than a year ago.

Foundry Officials Admit
War Material Fraud

CLEVELAND. Oct. l2-Three
former officials of the Harsch
Bronze & Foundry Co. pleaded
guilty today to conspiracy to de-
fraud the Government by using
rejected materials in the production
of submarine engine and marine
instrument parts. I'D.
Judge Emerich B. Freed delayed
sentence until prosecutors prepare
a report on the effect of the de-
PENDANTS fraud on war production.
The confessed conspirators are
Harry Harsch. IS. former vice presi-
dent and secretary; Alfred H. Huck,
70. former production manager, and
Walter E. Cowie, a, Huck's assistant.
There is more involved here than
punishment; 1t is matter of set
ting an example for violations of
this kind" Judge Freed said.
Maximum penalty is two years
imprisonment. $4,000 fine. or both
Counsel for Harsch said he had
substituted castings rejected by
naval inspectors because he be-
lieved they were good. As to the
charge the defendants shipped re-
jected bronze and aluminium rings

CHICAGO, Oct. IA big run
of hogs at the Nations livestock
markets today, which livestock
experts said foreshadowed the
record-breaking supply to be
marketed this fall and winter,
caused a sharp price break that
shaved millions of dollars from
the value of droves now on
farms.
Prices in Chicago fell 80 to 40
cents per hundredweight and in
some cases as much as so cents
as the market retreated from the
22-year highs of last week. Top
tumbled to s15-35 per ilundredweight,
compared with last weeks peak
Of sl5.75, highest posted in the mar
ket here since 1920.
The price break was one OF the
smartest in months. Livestock men
said that while the increased run
may have been due partly to Wash
lnstoh reports that Government Of
flcials may establish ceilings more
than 81 below last weeks peaks,
larger supplies should be coming

day to obtain a Supreme Court
review.
He was charged with killing Miss
Fannie Cohen while attempting to
rob her dress shop In the 1900 block
U street NV. February IS. 1941.
The Government said it was un-
disputed that Mumforde, armed with
revolver, entered the dress shop
with intention of committing a
robbery; that the woman saw
him and walked toward him and
screamed; that he pulled the gun
from his overcoat pocket and shot
her; that she fell to the floor at his
feet and he fled, and that she was
pronounced dead 10 minutes later"
Mumforde, the Government added,

he abandoned his intention to rob
and that when the woman screamed
he pulled the gun with the inten-
ton of stopping her screaming" He
was quoted as saying that as he
snatched the gun it went OF.
"The only question for the jury"

whether to believe his explanation
that he had abandoned his original
intention when the shot was fired
and that the killing was accidental"
