ID. f. Meat Prices SoaI
In Few Shops With
Supplies Available
Good Quontity Expected
In 10 Days, High at First
And Then LeveIinq Off

Most Washington butcher
shops still we're meatless today
but those stores with meat for
sale increased prices about 20
cents a pound on most items.
At Arcade Market, Fourteenth and
Park road NV, P. r. Casey had
plenty of beef, steak, pork, ham
and other meats. Karl Noe, only
other butcher with meat. had beef
but no other kinds of meat.
Butchers said there will be "a
good quantity" of meat in Washing
ton within 10 days. They predicted
universal price increases on meat at
first, followed by a leveling of
period when meat becomes plentiful
here.
At one store hamburger rose from
the ceiling price of 80 cents a pound
to SIS cents, an IS per cent increase.
Pork chops scared to 81 a pound
from 43 cents pound, an increase
of more than 100 per cent. Bacon
was selling for as much as IS to 78
cents pound, compared with the
43 cents a pound ceiling price.
Meat arrived Last Night"
Beef, most popular meat with
housewives, rose from 60 and "a
cents pound to 78 cents.
The Casey meat stand was doing
rushing business today, selling
customers as much of everything
as they wanted. Housewives, ap-
parently, were not quibbling over
the increased cost.
Other butchers, with only chicken
and turkey in their iceboxes, stood
around with little to do and watched
the busy Casey butchers.
Asked where his company got the
meat being sold at Caseys, a man
who would not permit use Of his
name said the meat arrived in
Washington last night from the
Midwest" He termed the prices as
"rock-bottom" and said the shop
was selling beef at prices less than
those of four weeks ago.
Gradual Increase Expected. .s
Wholesalers said beef will show
up first. followed by pork. Veal and
lamb also should pick up. But the
industry cautioned consumers
against expecting a sudden flood of
meat. The supply will increase
gradually as packers resume live
stock buying on a free market, they
said.
Joseph B. Danzansky, attorney for
the National Association of Nom
Slaughtering Meat Professors, pre-
dicted that high prices would level
off in a week or two.
He commented that "the industry
knows now that controls are going
to stay off and that it will be judged
oy the consumer" Accordingly,
packers and wholesalers will take a
sensible approach TO the price sit
uation, he added.
Uncertain on Future Price.
A Safeway Stores official said the
prices of the small amount of meat
now on Safeway shelves will not be
increased. The irsrease, he ex-
planned, will take effect when the

between the st. Louis Cardinals
and Boston Red Sox caused all
roads to lead TO Sportsmans Park
today for the seventh and final
game of the 1946 World Series.

Both Sides Claim Precedent.
ALI even after six gaines, the Sox

to go the limit of seven games.
Both sides claimed precedent in

won all. The Cards, meanwhile,
never had lost q seven-game series.
OF the nine classics which had
gone seven games the National
League won six. Thrice in the past
