Meat Price Rise
Is Resisted by
Wholesalers
Many Housewives
Reported Shifting
To Cheaper Cuts

Spiraling meat prices here brought
increased buying resistance today on
the part of Notwithstanding
reluctance already registered by con-
sumers and retailers against high.
cost grades.
Joseph B. Danzansky, counsel for
the Wholesale Food Division of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, said wholesalers definitely
are cutting down on their pur-
chases."
He added, however. that the deal.
ers report no evidence of a wide
spread buyers strike. And, frankly,
we don't expect one" he added.
There seems to be an under
standing at this point on the part
OF both retailers and consumers that
these prices must be passed on down
the line" he declared.
Resistance From Housewives.
But retail dealers reported con-
siderable resistance from house.
wives, who either are turning to
cheaper grades or not buying at all,
they said.
In addition, the Washington Con-
sumner Protection Committee urged
housewives to resist the increases
and not buy at these prices"
Mrs. Sarah Newman, chairman,
said the group has found no basis
for explanations of the rises "other
than speculation while there is .
plentiful supply OF meat"
Meat, at these prices, not only
means an extra burden on the
housewives budget, it encourages
other groups to raise prices even
further" she declared.
No Changes in Menus.
Hotels and restaurants report no
changes in menus, but meat sup
plier said they are buying "just as
little as they can possibly get away
with" A hotel spokesman pointed
out less meat is needed during hot
weather.
A spokesman for the Washington
Consumer Protection COMMITTEES
said the group will try today ''to get
to the bottom of reasons for the
drastic increases"
Charges and countercharges by
packers, wholesalers and retailers
still have failed to come up with q
clear explanation Of the in
creases.
Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son declared there is mo basis" for
statements "to the effect that meat
export activities are causing the
rise"

ported that average steer and year.

Trumon's S Lamb
Kindly Treated
AT the Zoo
BY The Associofed Press

Mrs. Mary Eben, who handles al
gifts at the White House. received
an 80-pound lamb by air express
yesterday. 1t was addressed to Presi-
dent Truman by the Veterans Club
of Dripping Springs, Tex.
The donors said it was fine pure
bred lamb and the President might
want to start in the sheep raising
business.
Also, the original owner wanted
assurance that the lamb would be
treated kindly.
Mrs. Eben was perplexed. After
consultation she decided to send the
fluffy animal to the Zoo for safe
keeping, pending the Presidents re-
turn from Canada tomorrow night.

The open hearts of Washing
ton people who care what hap
pens to their small neighbors has
made it possible for 108 more
boys and girls to spend at least
two weeks in camp this summer.
Still waiting to find out if they
will get a chance for at least two
weeks at Camp Good Will or
Camp Pleasant are 1872 other
boys and girls.
One of them is a young fellow
we'll call Dickie.
Dickie is old for his 9 years.
He's had to be. His mother Is

a widow with four children to
worry about. Dickie knows
when she isn't feeling we'll and
then he tries to keep his small
sister and brothers quiet.
Sometimes, when his mother is
we'll and the other children are
asleep, Dickie pretends he is an
explorer. He roams through the
streets and alleys of Southwest
Washington. He pretends the
alleys are trails.
Sometimes he slips away to
watch fishermen at the wharf.
He sits beside them, not saying
anything, just dreaming. He has
heard from the other children
about the woods at Camp Good
Will and he dreams he is hiking
over real trails.
His mother knows how much
Dickie wants to go to camp.
She knows he would be safer
hiking through the woods than
roaming through the alleys of
Southwest. But paying the
rent, keeping the children in
clothes and buying even scanty
meals takes all her money.
You could make Dickie'S
dreams and his mothers hopes
come true. For $40, you could
give him two weeks of exploring
the trails of Camp Good Will,
two weeks where his only re-
sponsibility would be to cram
enough fun for a year into each
waking hour.
For $50, you could give him
hiking and swimming and all he
wanted to eat for three weeks.
If you want to give a lonely
boy some of the fun he's missed,
if you want to help the rest of
the 1872 boys and girls still wait
ing to hear if they will be chosen
for camp this summer, mail cash
or a check to The Evening Star

to The Star cashier. The Star

Q. How much feeder space l. nee
aacary for chicks?
A. According to the age of the
chicks, feeder space ,should be p1o-
vided Us follows:
First three Weeks 49,. i in. per chick
to 6 weeks of age % in. per chick
weeks to maturity 30 in per chic,
@. VIVA. is The proper age for
breeding Jersey heifer?
A. Tests made over period of
years at the Research Farm of the
Ralston Furina Company show that
1t is better to breed heifers Accord
ing TO BODY size rather than age. A
Jersey heifer Weighing 500 lbs. is
fully big enough TO breed. jersey
heifers at the Purina Research Farm
usually reach this weight by y
months Of age.
q. Under what conditions do you
recommend creep feeding of pigs?
A. Creep feeding is recommended
when SoWS are hand fed, especially
when several sows and litters are fed
together. When sows are self fed,
creep for pigs is not necessary. Lit
lie pigs become interested in the
aows feed and will eat small
amounts Of solid feeds if given the
opportunity. A pig creep will permit
the feeding of special feeds to the
pigs and exclude the SOW. Whether
or not creep feeding is practiced,
pigs should be encouraged to eat
feed from the time they are two
weeks old, because the sooner they
start the easier it is to put ON rapid
gains and the less setback there will
be at weaving time.
@. Could you tell me the reason
i couldn't get my kid to drink colo
strum milk?
A. Probably the milk was cold. and
kids will not drink cool milk. The
fresh c0loStrum should be heated
carefully in a pan placed in hot
water or in double boiler over a
low flame, as it scorches and coag-
ulates easily. Stir constantly while
heating. 1t should be quite warm,
about 100 degrees F. If kids do not
drink well the first one or two feed
ings, do not be alarmed. Usually the
trouble is that the milk is not warm
enough.

First U. S. Warship

On May 10th, the Navy OBJ
served the 15Oth anniversary OF
the launching of the first warship
of the U. S. Navy under the Fed
eral Constitution - the forty
four-gun frigate United States.
After a long and notable career,
the frigate fell into Confederate
hands at the Norfolk Navy yard
and was sunk in the Elizabeth
River as an obstruction to Union
vessels. Eventually, she was raised
only to be broken up after the
war.
The Constellation, at Newport,
R. l., and the Constitution, at
Boston, are the only survivors of
the six frigates authorized by
Congress in 1874.

Cost OF Congress

The cost of operating the Unit
ed States Congress has reached
a figure more than double that of
before the war and may go even
higher. A survey revealed that
the cost Of running Congress be-
fore the war totaled ,$22 ,00O,0 900.
Today the bill for the fiscal year
starting in July is estimated at
$52, 100000 with a good chance
that it will be $53, 100000 by the
time all adjustments are made.

Observations

Havre de Grace, May 14-Pimli-
co.'s seasonal zenith was reached
last Saturday with the running of
the 57th Preakness. The consistent
Calumet Stable won this historic
race with tn cir appropriately
named three year-old colt Fault
less, by Bull Lea out of Unerring,
after a masterful ride by Doug"
Dodson. Warren Wright, the own
or of Calumet, added some $4,000
to his baking-powder assets and
Faultless will have his name paint
ed on the yellow. boards over the
stands at Old Hilltop. The event
was, of course, attended by the
usual publicity and glamour and
some 10000 to $4,000 people crowd
ed the course and infield to be
pushed around and trampled upon,
some good natuiedly and others
contrariwise, Senator Stromberg
being among them. We hope the
time is not far distant when the
Maryland Jockey Club will have
track and accommodations which
will not necessitate its patrons
leaving their homes before break
fast in order to obtain a seat from
which to comfortably view this an
nual race classic. Strangely enough
the first four horses in the Freak
ness were the same as those in the
Kentucky Derby, with reversal in
order.
The next event to engage some
/ if not all-of the Derby and Freak
ness entrants will be The Belmont
Stakes at Belmont Park, Long
Island, on May "a, but. at longer
distance,-a mile and half, and
this distance could favor Phalanx,
since this colt is usually a slow
starter. ia !.
At Havre de Grace the second
part of the Spring Meeting opened
on Monday with good weather and
fast track, so fast in fact that up
to now two new track records have
been established, one at five fur
longs in 1885 seconds, and one at
SIX furlongs in 1-101/5 seconds.
And whose horses accomplished
these feats? Yes, you've guessed
it,-Calumet's two-year-old FLY
Airy, first time starter, and their
four-year-old colt Pep-well, which
accounted for the Philadelphia
Handicap, taking down the major
portion of the $4,000 added
money.
May we here put in a plug for
cur local Horse Show to be held on
Saturday at Doughreghan Manor.
Being for the benefit of the How
ard County Public Health Associa-
ton the cause is worthy one, and
given good weather all who can
should attend. Following the show
there will be dancing from 10 to 2
at the Vineyard Road Pavilion.
Daylight Time is, of course, in
effect.
