Decided Fall
In Food Prices
Predicted Today
INV The Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is
looming prices for commodities
are due for a fall, beginning
next January, a Department of
Agriculture spokesman declared
today.
He predicted that it would not
be a question of prices falling to
levels that existed before ceilings
were removed, but that there
would be a decided setback.
The trend, he pointed out, al
ready is evident in the prices of
beef, which have been decreaS-
ing for more than a week. Rec
ord highs, he said, lasted only a
few days, and, as a result of
heavy shipments of beeves to
market, with the resultant heavy
production by packers, declines
set in and have not yet stopped.
Meanwhile, some fOodstuffs
are now Sc per cent higher than
they were on June 80.

Committee On
Publicity Fund

Directors of the Key West
Chamber of Commerce have APP
pointed Edward A. Strunk, Jr.,
Judge Aquilino Lopez, Jr., and
J. w. Sellers to endeavor to have
the Florida State Administration
reverse it's decision regarding
the $4,000 the Overseas High
way Bridge Commission had re-
quested to advertise the high
way.
- A spokesman for the admins
tration said that it had ruled
that the commission did not
have the right to spend any
money for advertising purposes
1t had been intended to use
the $4,000 during the winter
season, in advertising in key
cities in. Florida, to interest tour
lists sufficiently to make a trrr
over the Overseas Highway. The
commission felt that such an ex-
penditure not only would give
the highway statewide publicity
but also would substantially in
crease revenue in the collector
of tolls.

Lease Or No
Lease: That Is
The Question

A case of eviction from a boat
ways at Upper Matecumbe, near
the toll bridge, came up this
morning before County Judge
Lord, but continuance of the
hearing was postponed until next
Thursday in the hope of getting
more witnesses.
The plaintiff is w. E. Giddens,
and the defendant Reginald Hen
bricks, who claims he has lease
on the property, obtained
through a purported agent for
Giddens.
The latter asserted that the
agent in question did not repre-
sent him, but Hendricks testified
that, since he has had the lease,
Giddens has accepted rent from
him. The latter replied that,
when he accepted the rent, he
had said that the agent did not
represent him. 1t is that question
that Judge Lord will try to iron
out next Thursday.
