sorbed considerably more than Is
per cent OF price increases passed
on to them. "One dealer who did
$2,500,000 worth of business last

he said.
II do not think 1t Is fair for con-
sumers to refrain from buying meat
in an organized effort" Mr.. DAN

cutting at the dealers, who are not
responsible for the increased prices"

Meanwhile, approximately 200

"only the st. Lawrence seaway,
he said In testimony prepared for
submission to the House Public

that cheap transportation"
The committee is considering leg

ternational development and make
it pay for itself through imposition
of tolls. Congressional leaders have
declared that there is little likeli.
hood the legislation will pass al

The measure would also author.

election aimed to determine bar

The employees will have their
choice of voting for any of three
unions, including Local 248 of the

the last NLRB election in the late
1930's was selected.
The NLRB. however, ordered the
new ballot after State Employment

day strike at the vast plant in
suburban West Allis ended in March
and workers returned without con-

Senate Commerce Unit Gets
Report on Crash Fatal 10 AZ

Meeting In executive session, the
Senate Commerce Committee today
received a technical report from the
Aviation subcommittee on the crash
of an airliner at La Guardia Field
in which AZ persons were killed or
fatally injured on May %.
Chairman Brewster said his sub
committee had its own technical
expert, Carl Dolan, make an investi-
CATION and report independently of
those by the Civil Aeronautics Board
and Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton.
This was done, he said, in view
of recent charges by exponents of
an independent safety board that
two Federal agencies as closely re-
lated as the CAB and CAA are re-
luctant to air "self-criticism."
The committees expert is a vet
eran pilot and former operations
chief who helped set up Eastern
Airline's system on the East Coast.
Senator Brewster said his report
would be made public tonight or
tomorrow,
