MANHATTAN. Kans., Nov. TO-
Cancellation next year OF the Gov

In an interview last night. Mr.,

on some products, such as meat and
dairy products, might increase
prices, but lowered costs Of other

said would probably fall by next

 The winner of the Tooth medal of honor to be awarded to an Ameri- can infantryman in World War II took Miss Beverly Hargreaves of Lexington, Mass, into his arms and convered her with kisses.
 The blond, 19-year-cld girl was not backward despite the presence of reporters, photographers and her father, James R. Hargreaves, an employe of the Raytheon Manufac turing Go.
 She responded eagerly. She smear ed his mouth with lipstick, The photographers had to make him wipe it off so they could take pie lures.
 Then the 24-year-old technical sergeant and the girl he met on blind date before going overseas to cover himself with glory remem- bered themselves. She introduced him to her father, whom he had never met. Her mother, she explain ed, was i'll and had been unable to make the trip from their summer home on Cape Cod.

 Jake took her and her father back 1 to the hotel where he and his folks are staying. He had reserved rooms for them.
 Miss Hargreaves, who wears her hair long and looked like a typical well-dressed American girl, did con- firm that she would return to col lege in Cambridge, Mass.
