Dollar Hits Eight-Year High
In Arqenfine Trade Move
BY the Associoted Press

BUENOS AIRES, June 24-The
United States dollar jumped to an
eight-year high yesterday, selling
at 4.85 Argentine pesos, an overnight
gain Of about 20 per cent.
New Argentine exchange regula-
tions, and the lifting of many re-
strictions on payment abroad of
profits made by foreign companies
and on importation of foreign goods,
also sent other currencies higher,
many more than 20 per cent.
Argentine banks paid 4.85 pesos
for the United States dollar, against
yesterdays 4 pesos. Other curren-
cies advancing included: Swedish
kroners to 1866 pesos, Swiss francs
to 1923 pesos, French francs to
0O22 pesos.
These quotations, backed by CEN
tral bank operations, represented
the first major change in the price
of bank drafts and checks since the
early DAYS of the war.

Retail Food Prices
Still Rising With
No Relief in Sight

Retail food prices continue to inch
upward, with no break in sight for
the consumer. This appears to be
true today, both in the Washington
area and throughout the Nation.
Wholesale prices were up in some
cases and down in others, but the
Bureau of Labor Statistics index for
the week ending June 12-the latest
available-showed a rise of nearly
two points for meat, with poultry,
fruits and vegetables also up.
Stores here are receiving the usual
seasonal influx of fruits and vege-
tables from California. including the
first of the melon crop.
But the usual component of hot
weather dishes-cold cuts of meat
have big price tags. Many are SO
high they are shown in meat cour-
ters with half or even quarter
pound prices. in order to keep the
figures under ST.
Steaks are around 81 a pound. One
chain reported that. based on last
weeks wholesale meat prices, the re-
tail figure should be around $1.l0 or
s12o. Fear of consumer resistance,
however, keeps the figure just under
81 at the retail counter.
Butter sales are off from 80 to 40
per cent from year ago, one big
Washington dealer reported today.
The reasons are two: prices are up
II cents a pound wholesale in year
and thefe has been a tremendous
switch to oleomargarine. But mar
garine prices are beginning TO go up,
a cent at a time.
Chains and supermarkets reported
dollar business throughout the Ma
ton u per cent above last year, the
Associated Press said. Independents
indicated a 9 per cent gain over
year ago. Wholesale grocers re-
ported dollar sales per cent above
last wear.

when you realize the bill was hur-
riedly drafted in a desperate race

Appropriation Committee sources
say that as long as the pay bill did
not specifically require departments
and agencies to absorb the cost of
the wage boosts by firing employees,
there is nothing to worry about
The deficiency requests will be per-
fectly valid and considered as such.
Meanwhile, Chairman LANCER of
the Senate Civil Service Committee
issued a statement today reassuring
Government employees that Con-
gress will appropriate the necessary
money next year to meet the cost
of the pay raise bill.
Senator LANCER said he was con-
fident" that Congress will honor
Federal agencies requests for addi-
tional funds.
President Truman Is expected to
sign the pay raise legislation within
the next few days. The raises will
become effective next month. but it

GOOD LAW-President 7 uman
has signed into law the very i'm
portant bill that will give Federal
employees greater degree of Job
security.
From now on all Federal workers
who are dismissed from their jobs
will be reinstated if the Civil Serv-
ice Commission rules favorably on
their appeal.
Heretofore the commissions find
ings in these appeals cases were
not mandatory on the agencies in
volved. AS result Federal bureaus
could ignore the commissions find
ings if they wished to do so.
The new law changes all that.
If the commission finds that an
employe was unjustly dismissed, the
agency involved will have to take
the employe back.
AIR FORCE-Ninety-five special
agent positions in the Air Force De-
partment have been exempted from
