Wilmington Retail Grocers
Predict Full Supply OF
Meat Soon

Beef prices clover than they are
today" can be expected within
two months as a result of Presi-
dent Truman's removal Of meat
ceilings, j. C. Parker, Jr., presi-
dent of the local Retailers Grocers
association, said last night
Parker predicted an immediate
influx of beef, but other local
grocers, equally enthusiastic about
the death of price control, said
that it may take close to five weeks
before the meat flood begins.
Pork, however, can be expected
in heavy quantities almost imme-
diately, they agreed.
Pork prices will be high at the
outset, because it is a scarce item,
Parker said.
But, said Parker, "as a group the
grocers OF Wilmington are pledged
to keep u profit margins as low
as We can. Most CT us cooperated
in doing that during the time cell
ings were off last July"
"Beef will jump at first, but I
believe that, with the large popula-
ton of cattle now on the ranges,
it's shake down within sixty days
to a point where it will be cheap
er than it is now" he asserted.

PLAY-BY-PLAY-All things come

Well, all you folks sent in lots
of good material for those stories,

after Soviet Foreign Minister
Y. M. Molotov assailed por-
tions Of the pacts as "un-

Molotov accused the United

he would insist that the Big

meet in New York Nov. 4, recon
slider parts of the treaties, with
Italy, Finland, Romania, Bulgaria

will take up the treaty with Ger

completing work on the satellite
treaties, then would start conside-
ration of the German pact.
He added that the fundamental
aspects of the German problem
would not be tackled in New York,
but that the ministers would try to
discover whether there was enough
grounds for agreement to justify
the holding of a later meeting in
Europe.
