Food Prices
fNew York Times


 Although President Truman continues to give major emphasis to the desirabity of reductions in industrial prices what happens food prices will largely determine the extent to which the pressure of higher living costs will be relieved This is necessarily so because the rise in good prices has accounted for about 70 per of the increase in living costs since the beginning of 946 In this connection a distinctly encouraging trend has developed during the past few weeks IL will be recalled that earlier this year sharp in the price of hogs and grain products led to widespread fears that a cycle of price increases Wa under way It is clear that such conclusion premature
 All the indexes of wholesale food prices reflect decline The Dun and Bradstreet wholesale food price index which thrtv-one foods has dropped from s670 March IS to s602 of April 29, decline of about 10 Der cent The comprehensive United States Bureau of Labor Statistics wholesale price index for foods has declined from about I'll in March to 1903 the latest week The sensitive price index reported daily by the BIS has declined from a peak of 422 G939=1 100l on March IT to approximately 360 as of the most recent date
 That the decline has been widespread is shown by examination of price trends for different types of foods The futures price for wheat has dropped from S3 % to about S250. Similar declines have been re- corded for other grains Butter has declined from TT cents pound early in March to 62 cents pound. Lard has fallen from 33i9 cents pound to 23 cents a pound. Flour. which S785 hundred pounds, has declined to $675. Hogs have dropped from $50 hundred pounds to under SPA
 The rise in the official consumers price index in March was due largely to sharp rise in retail food prices which in turn reflected the in wholesale prices which had taken place earlier this year The complete reversal of these earlier rises wholesale prices will probably be reflected in lower retail prices if past experience any guide continuation of these relationships which have been causing much concern.

adding up the luggage which the good Sonora and her guests pro- posed to take along, reported that it would be impossible to carry the entire load in fewer than three planes.
 It now appears likely that Sonora de Peron and party will make the voyage aboard the FRivadavia' af- ter all, with a two-destroyer escort but no ovei flow entourage. The whole dispute, however has served to deepen the bitter resentment among various top government off cials toward what they regard as the first lady's 'high-handed meddling.' It is freely predicted in well-informed quarters that her de- parture iron: the country will be the signal for a concerted attempt by some of Peron's closest collabor- ators to break his wife's growing influence in national affairs.

SEATTLE. May 30. - lR - The Maritime Commission is working on a long-range Alaska shipping plan to replace the present interim agreement with three Seattle oper- ators, Vice Adm William Smith, chairman of the Commission, de- clared.
 Smith in commenting on the need for an interim agreement, declared the Commission did not want to give three companies the exclusive right" but had no other alterna- tive in view of the approaching fishing. mining and construction season in Alaska
 We had no other applications from firms desiring to enter the AL askan trade, the Admiral declared, and we still haven't had re- quest. I just checked with my Washington, D. C., office by tele- phone this forenoon

MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial Day originated with the boys of 6l who deemed 1t appropriate to aside day especially sacred 10 the memories of their comrades whom they left behind when they returned to tho places which they had left to answer the call of their country Their children their grandchildren and their great grandchildren responded later to similar calls until now u IS the veterans of four for whom this day is especially set apart
 To some it is a gala occasion; 10 some it is day of sports and entertainment: and to others time Of national observance calling for flowers upon the graves of all relatives and friends well of the soldier dead If such action is formal one taken cut of defarence to public opinion, then it may better be omitted
 To few it is day of retrospection and introspec- tion in which they quietly weigh the values of things. lives and ideas.
 But let no one be offended if others spend the day in a manner which seems to them fitting, with cut regard to the ideals for which the day esab- lished. Such persons have gone through the fire of trial which alone bring to human soul the true relationship between joy and sunlight and shadow Let one engage in any activity, take part in any ceremony, permit himself to be put in a position which will not reflect his true self, On this day let sincerity of spirit prevail

DICTATOR PERON'S WIFE

Another of tle lecurent stormy episodes centering around Sonora Eva Duarte de Peron, wife of Ar gentinas President, recently threat ened to provoke a major govern ment crisis involving the Navy, Air Force Foreign Ministry, and var lous political factions.
 Sonora de Peron is scheduled to depart on formal state visit to Spain and Italy. When plans for the trip first began to materialize, the handsome. ambitious first lady demanded of her husband that a Warship he provided for hersel1 and entoprage.
 President Peron amiably compli- ed, ordering the "Presidente Riv- adavia, Argentinas newest and largest battleship, placed at his wife's disposal. The list of those invited to go along grew so rapidly that soon not even the giant Queen Elizaheth"-let alone the i8,CC0-ton "RiVadaVia could have accommodated them
 The Naval Ministry protested to the President, but the dashing Sonora was adamant If the battle ship wouldn't hold all her party, she said, then let a few cruisers be included as well. The whole issue had reached a hotly argued stale mate when Sonora Isabel de Bram- u9lia, wife of the Argentine For eign Minister who had agreed to go along as chief lady-in- waiting, ? put her foot down and announced she would have no part of the mob end warship deal
 Thereupon Peron stepped in and tried to persuade his wife to accept one of the nations best passenger liners instead taking a sharply re- duced entourage But the first lady tlatly refused. She said she hac now decided to go by air and that cnly 32 persons would accompany her So an Air Force transports Douglas C-54-was ordered for the flight. Almost immediately, how ever came urgent protests iron several political groups, including the Union of Intellectuals, an or ganization personally formed anc dominated by Sonora de Peron . The objectors stated that air tra. 5 vel was too hazardous and tho ? safety of the first lady too pre-. : cious to the national welfare They demanded that she travel by sea Meanwhile, the Air Ministry, aftel

TALKS WITH BRAZIL

Then the Chief Executive set off to build his second bastion. A cere- mony inaugurating a new interna- tional bridge between Argentina and Brazil was used by Peron as an excuse to discuss joint anti Red measures with Brazilian Pres ident Gaspar Dutra. Ever since Du- tra succeeded, earlier this month, in getting the Brazilian electoral board to declare the local Commun- ist party illegal. Peron had been anxious to capitalize on the Com munist situation in Argentina. Al though not in favor of outright suppression of the Reds in his own land, he saw the chance for a good political stroke.
 During their private conversation after the ceremonies on the bridge, the Argentine President told Dutra that their two countries ought to step in actively and mediate to end the civil war in Paraguay That done, he said, the Rio Conference could be called and Argentina and Brazil could take the lead in seek ing agreen45nt for a hemisphere wide anti-CCmmunist drive

 Peron had agreed that Ambassa- dor Negrao da Lima was the man to undertake the preliminary con- sultations, since the Brazilian diplo- mat is persona grata to both Par aguayan President Morin- igo and the rebel leaders in Con- cepcion.

THIS WEEK AT
ZION GARDENS
By Fred Richards

This week we received our
new refrigerator-tWo weeks
late for opening day, but we'll
worth waiting for. The refrig-
orator is ten feet wide, four
feet deep and eight feet high,
made of hand polished Birch,
with a plate glass front and
ends. It is an exact duplicate
of the one displayed at the
National Flower Show" last
year.
With the temperature near
80 we are still putting in our
spring flower beds. The three
flower beds in front of the
Greenhouse contain about $50
tulip bulbs. These should
make very attractive display
next spring.
Chrysanthemums are bloom
ing steadily now and we are
cutting every day. The bronze
pompoms are doing especially
we'll and should be just right
for the Thanksgiving table.
Since opening the store bou-
quets have been made in ad-
vance and all bouquets going
to the hospital or home are de-
livered in containers. The con-
tainer simply has to be filled
with water upon delivery and
you have we'll arranged CEN
ter-piece or bouquet plus a
container, which can be used
again and again. l.
There will be more news
each week of happenings in
and around your local Green
house and Flower shop.

PORTABLE IRRIGATION

Pittsburgh-The use of alu-
minum pipe for portable irri-
cation systems has sprouted
into a major development on
the nations farms.
Heavy sales of aluminium
pipe are reported in all sec
tons of the country, and port
able irrigation systems, which
have been serving the farmer
to some extent for 5 years,
have become increasingly
popular with the advent of
light metal for this purpose.
Demand is SO great that the
Aluminium Co. of America is
now turning out about 512
million feet a year. This is 212
times the amount produced
last year.
Portable irrigation is SIM
ply an adaptation of the gar
den hose principle to large
acreages of farm land. Lines
of pipe are laid on the sur
face of the ground to carry
water under pressure, and
diversified sprinklers do the
rest.
The average portable irri-
cation system covers about
100 acres. Cost of an aluminium
installation, complete with
pips, pump and power unit,
may run anywhere from S12
to $40 an acre = much less
than material and labor costs
of leveling, checking or ditch
ing land for flood-type irriga-
ton.

WITH THE EIGHTH ARMY
IN TOKYO, JAPAN

1t has been announced by
Headquarters I Corps, that
Sergeant Tom A. Shaffer, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. L. L. Johnson,
of 2906 Ezekiel, Zion, Illinois,
has recently been transferred
to the Fourth Replacement De-
pot at Zama, Japan, for dis
charge.
Sgt. Shaffer was formerly
assigned to the 58th Signal
Battalion in Kyoto, Japan, as
a Directory clerk. Personnel of
this battalion are engaged in
the installation, operation, and
maintenance of Signal COM
munications in the I Corps
Zone Of Responsibility. Quar-
tered in a large building which
was formerly a Japanese Art
Museum, this organization
boasts one of the finest bar
racks in Japan.
Sgt. Shaffer enlisted in the
Army in July, 1916, and after
completing Signal Corps train
ing at Fort Dix, New Jersey,
was shipped overseas to Japan.
Prior to entering the service
he attended Zion-Benton High
School.
