WASHINGTON, Oct. 49,
E-A somewhat freer at
titude with the American
public on the part of the
tight-lipped Russian embassy
was seen today in the wake
of it's second news conference
in as many weeks.
1t also appeared that the
embassy officials may be
coming to a clearer realization o.
the legitimate public interest theil
views command in this country.
Before the two recent news
conferences, one had been held al
the Russian embassy since the ar
rival of Maxim Litvinov as am
bassador in 1871 after the Pear
Harbor attack.
No Set Plan
There was no official word of a
change in attitude at the en-
bassy. But one Soviet official
said, when asked about It, that
he hoped it would be possible to
hold news conferences more fire.
quently henceforth He added that
the embassy has nc set plan and
would call them only when the
occasion warrants.
After yesterdays conference a
reporter expressed hope to another
embassy official that the meetings.
might be held often and got this
answer:
ct hope so. The ambassador is
in favor of it."
Things have been easier for
American newsmen at the en-
bassy since Nikolai V. Novikov
took over as ambassador in June.
Shortly after presenting his ere
dentials to President Truman,
Novikov granted this reporter an
exclusive interview and talked
freely on a wide range of subjects.
Since then, reporters once &C

No Lard Or Cured Products
Are Expected In The
First Shipment

The first shipment of western
beef due for delivery in the city
tomorrow is expected to result nj
a leveling-off of meat prices which
yesterday ranged from 10 to Is
cents above former OPA ceiling
p r C e S in the community's
markets.
Meat dealers said yesterday that
wholesale prices of the large pack
ers have not increased Willie local
slaughterers have raised above the
former OPA charges.
That western meat will be chan
neled into local markets tomorrow
was disclosed by w. A. Gravely,
manager of Swift and company.
Gravely said two carloads of beef
would arrive Monday morning and
would include choice commercial
and utility cuts. The shipment will
run mostly to low grades, he add
ed.
I'VE figure" Gravely continued,
that meat prices will start COM
ing down with the beginning of
shipments into the city"
Gravely added that no lard or
cured products were expected in
the first shipment but that he felt
better cuts would accompany
those commodities when the west
ern packers began supplying their
customers with pre-OPA quanti-
ties.
Saturday shoppers we're faced
not with the finding of meat but
the problem of keeping within the

is absolutely essential"
The JAW executive board, in
