that mortality so far was at the "ex-
pected rate
His report said 1882 of the 3.519
animals used in the test were still
alive.
tAdmiral Blandv's statement
was in sharp contrast with that
of an officer who reported at Kwa-

were dying like flies" The officer
indicated there soon would be no
animals left to take to the United
States for further study

are now selling at prices which only

He based his prediction Of a drop
in prices to consumer resistance to
high prices now asked by retailers
and to the fact the big packers are
moving into the cattle market in
greater volume than in many
months. Consumer baking at high
meat prices already has set in, he
maintained.
An official Of one chain store here
reported there were indica tions
