Experts See
Lower Meat
Prices Soon

Chicago, Oct. 5-(P)- Lower
prices for meat-major item in
the family food budget-are pre-
dicted by livestock experts.
Hog prices at the principal
corn belt markets, ON the decline
all last week, broke sharply yes
terday-around 81 to So a hun
dred pounds. The drop, the big
gest one day break in six months
at some markets, was attributed
to heavy receipts.
There probably will not be
an immediate showing of lower
prices in the retail markets, the
American Meat Institute said. It
said signs of declines in some
wholesale meat prices are deve-
Looping but it takes a little time
for adjustment in wholesale
prices to be reflected at re-
tail levels" More meat supplies
also are indicated, the institute
said.
The top price for cattle-a-
round $40 hundred pounds now
will drop to around $25 next
year, Chauncey Watson, presi-
dent Of the Illinois Livestock
Feeders Association, told tho Chi
cago Farmers Club yesterday.
Mark Pickell, secretary OF the
Corn Belt Livestock Feeders As
ISOLATION said meat prices are
coming down." He said "there
should be good quantity of cat
tie coming to market in Now
ember and December at mater
tally lower prices"

Lewis AssuiIs
Truman. Says
He Is Unfit

Cincinnati, Oct. 5-(AP)-John
L. Lewis today assailed presi
dent Truman for prosecuting
the united mine workers in re
cent coal strikes and advised
the miners to "do something
about it" in the Nov. 2 election.
"He is a man totally untitled
for the position" Lewis said to
a wildly cheering, horn-blow-
ing opening session of the UNIV
convention.
His principles are elastic. He
is careless with the truth. He
is a malignant, scheming sort
of an individual who is danger
Gus not only to the united mine
workers but dangerous to the
United States of America"
Lewis shouted.
The UNIV leader said that Mr..
Truman was 'too cowardly" to
put him in Jail in 1916 and last
spring when the president in
voked injunctions to halt cripp
ling mine strikes.

Perhaps the most perplexed
persons in our city, on Sunday

Mr.. Churchill disclosed that. in
1945, 10 days before the European
war ended, he sent personal letter
to Prime Minister Stain of Rus
sia, warning that any East-West
quarrel would tear the world to
pieces" He read the letter to the
house, saying it marked "the high
est point in my relations with
Stain"
Speaking of the Palestine situa-

"I did not always agree with Gen.

Court Hears Motion
To Dismiss Thomas
Salary Kickback Case

The motion to dismiss conspiracy
Indictment against Representative
J. Parnell Thomas, chairman of the
House Un-American Activities Com
mittee, was argued in District Court
today before Judge Henry schwein-
haut, who took the matter under
advisement.
Defense Counsel William H. Col
lins attacked the legality of the
grand jury which indicted Mr..
Thomas on charges that the legis-
lator conspired with a former sec
retary in an alleged salary kickback
and that the Representative also
filed false claims in connection with
the pay roll of congressional COM
mittee.
Mr.. Collins also asked for dis
missal Of the conspiracy count on
the grounds that the alleged overt
acts occurred more than three years
before the indictment was returned
and therefore were excluded by the
statute of limitations.
Fay Disputes Contentious.
District Attorney George Morris
Fay insisted the grand jury was
legally constituted, despite the fact
that it included IL Government en-
ployes, and that Congress had ex-
tended the statute of limitations to
include, among other things, cases
Of alleged conspiracy to defraud the
Government. ~
During more than an hour of
argument, Mr.. Collins insisted that
the grand jury was not constituted
as prescribed by the Constitution,
due in part to the difference in re-
muneration between the jurors. He
asked the court to take judicial no
tice of the fact that the Government
employees on the grand jury were not
paid the usual IS daily fee, but re-
ceived their pay from their regular
salaries.
The defense attorney made
point Of the fact that the IL Gov
ernment employees were paid differ
ent salaries and their remunera-
tions, in turn, differed from the
regular SIS daily fees paid the II
other members of the panel.
Insists System Is Legal.
The Government here gives leaves

relations with Stalin," Mr.. Churchill
said.
"1t came just after Himmler had
made overtures to the late Count
Bernadotte and I telegraphed to
Russia very promptly the informa-
ton. Stain had replied: You have
acted exactly as had thought you
would do"
The letter made plain that Mr..
Churchill preferred peace but it
warned: do not, I beg of you, my
friend, underrate the Emergencies
which are opening about matters
which you may think are small but
which are symbolic Of the way the
English-speaking democracies look
at life"
At the time, Communist parties
were reaching for the upper hand in
Eastern European countries liberated
by the Russian Army, and the con-
f1ict in Greece was four months old.
