A. Thomas told the aldermen

r. A. Thomas told the aldermen
the water had risen to within
27 inches of the crest OF the
Salem Lake dam. This was a
boost of almost eight feet over
the previous days record OF
121 inches below the spillway.
This afternoon the water was
still rising, at the rate OF about
a half inch an hour. The run-off
from Wednesdays hard rain
continued draining into the lake.
But Thomas said he doubted the
water would run over the top
of the dam. At any rate, Winston
Salem had over a billion gallons
of water in s~torage-more water
in the reservoir than the city has
ever had. For the first time wa
ter was backed up against the
three feet added to the dam
last May.
Thomas estimated the gain
from the approximately 20-hour-
long downpour totaled between
700, OOO, 900 and $50, 600, 900 gal
Ions of water for Winston'Salem.

tic increases passed along the line
to them.
A new report following study OF
meat prices by House Agriculture
Subcommittee placed principal
blame for high costs on low meat
production and high consumer de-
mand. The report, submitted by
Representative Andersen, Repub-
llcan, of Minnesota predicted price
decreases this winter if the Gov
ernment cuts its overseas meat
shipments.
Consumers Seen Willing.
Mr.. Andersen said the study
showed that consumers, drawing
record high wages, are willing to
buy meat despite the price. He said
his committee listed these reasons
for the increased costs:
l. Unprecedented demand for
meat.
2. Higher feed costs due to short
ages of corn and other feed crops.
3. High meat exports.
4. High wages at farms and pro-
cessing plants.
While the future meat supply will
depend largely on the corn crop,
Mr.. Anderson said. his committee
predicted there will be a Is per
cent increase in meat supplies this
winter unless the policy of large
meat exports is continued" Dur
ing the last II months, he said. ex-
ports of meat totaled 5000, 900
pounds.

British Government
Bitterly Denounces
Sergeants' Murder
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, July .31.-Tfae British
government officially condemned
today what it called the. cold
blooded and dastardly murder" of
two British Army sergeants by
Irgun Zvai Leumi, Palestine under
ground organization.
Colonial Secretary Arthur Creech
Jones, speaking in Parliament for
the Labor government, announced
the executions and commented:
Il express the deep feeling of
horror and revulsion shared by all
of us here at this barbarous act"
A government source said the
cabinet reviewed the whole situa-
ton in the tense Holy Land at a
noon meeting. The informant said
the cabinet had decided to send
the $500 Jewish refugees of the
S. S. Exodus 1947 expedition to the
British zone of Germany, and per-
haps later to some other British
area, possibly in Africa, If they
persisted in refusing to disembark
at the French city of Port-De-Bouc.
The Jews, mostly from Poland,
were taken there after the British
fleet blocked their attempt to enter
Palestine without visas.
Papers Banner Hangings.
The government source said the
cabinets decision regarding the in
ternal situation in Palestine. Brit
ish mandate from World War I,
would be Influenced by public opin-
ion." He did not elaborate.
British newspapers hammered the
Palestine hangings which the Irgun
zvai Leumi carried out after the
British hanged three of its members
earlier in the week for taking part
in a prison delivery.
I'm the long history of violence in
Palestine, there has scarcely been a
more dastardly act than the cold
blooded and calculated murder, of
these innocent young men, after
holding them as hostages for more
than a fortnight" Mr.. Creech Jones
told the House of Commons.
This was an outrage against men
discharging a service in fulfillment
of international obligations and was
abhorent in the eyes of all civilized
persons everywhere and must surely
mean the final condemnation of the
terrorists by their own people.
"We can only hope that this latest
act will stir the Jewish community
in Palestine to root out this evil
from their midst -"
