to plunge.
A spokesman for one Chicago
food chain explained why the slump
in wheat prices was reflected SO
swiftly in retail price cuts. The
food situation is highly competitive
and we have to act fast for this
reason" he said.
The chain announcing the cut in
flour prices in Washington also re-
ported that eggs and some meat
products have been cut several
cents in the past three days. Lard
dropped some time ago although
there were reports from elsewhere
in the Nation yesterday of fur
ther cuts in lard prices.
Poultry dealers in Washington
foresaw an eventual drop in poul-
try prices if grain prices remain
lower, thus cutting the cost of feed.
But it will take a week or two for
such changes to show up in re-
tail stores, they said.
Butter prices, on the other hand,
were going up in Washington last
week. A spot check of chain and

De Valera Is Willing
To Form New Regime,
But Will Keep Policy
System of Proportional
Representation Assoiled
As Barrier to Stability
By the Associated Press

DUBLIN, Feb. Prime Min
lister canon de Valera said to-
night he was prepared to form a
new Fire government. But, he
added in his first public state
ment since his party's setback in
Wednesdays election, he would
not change his policy.
In the balloting the Fianna Fail
party lost its majority in Eire's
Parliament.
Mr.. de Valera spoke at Carlow in
support of five Fianna Fail candi-
dates for the Dali (ParliamenD in
next Tuesdays election in the Car
low Kilkenny constituency.
Election System Opposed.
He expressed dissatisfaction with
Fires proportional representation
system which he said makes it diff
cult to establish a stable govern
ment.
"A Fianna Fail coalition with five
or six parties with different views,
conflicting programs, and having a
combined strength only equal to
Fianna Fail, obviously could not
last" the prime minister said,
He added that his party was clear
ly opposed to coalition and would
not participate in one.
"If, as representatives of the
largest party, we are roposed and
supported for the formation of a
new government, we will do so" Mr.
de Valera said. But our policy will
oe the same as always and our pro-
gram will be to continue the work
on which we have been engaged"
No Trend to Socialism.
Despite moderate gains by Labor
and the Leftist Republican (Clann
ma Poblachta) party, there were few
signs in Catholic Erie of the strong
Socialist swing which occurred IN
Britain and on the continent after
the war.
Mr.. De Valera's Fianna Fail
emerged from Wednesdays hotly
debated election as still the largest
party in Fire. Complete returns
showed it won 66 of the lat seats
in the new Parliament. The COM
bined opposition won 76.
Privately. Fianna Fail leaders ex-
pressed relief that their setback was
not greater than it actually was.
