Coffee Price Rises
2Cents Here; Eggs
Decline 15Cents

A two-cent jump in retail coffee
prices was recorded here today
with a further increase likely be-
cause of substantial advances in
wholesale costs, Washington deal
ers predicted.
An average Is cents drop in top
grade large eggs during the last
10 days, however. gave a brighter
balance to breakfast expenses.
Most meats held steady to last
weeks listings. Several chain
stores reported pork was especially
plentiful and cent or two a
pound lower in some cuts.
The coffee situation has not
reached the stage of serious short
age here and has not provoked
anything resembling a run" on
retail establishments, several deal
ers said.
Wholesale Price Rises.
Typical of the general price
rise, leading brand OF coffee
that sold for 63 cents last week
was marked at IS cents today.
Last September the quotation
was SO cents, and last April it
stood at 81 cents.
The wholesale price OF that
brand went up S cents today. Re-
tailers said this indicated a cor
responding boost will come at
stores. They added that they
were unable to estimate the size
of the probable further increase,
or how soon it might come.
The retail coffee price ap-
parently was rising faster in New
York City and various other COM
munities. It was cents higher
today in New York. Trade sources
explained that the big roasting
concerns and retailers boosted
their prices to meet mounting
prices for imported coffee beans.
Coffee Rise Uniform.
A survey of several retail stores
here showed an almost uniform
upward turn of 2 cents a pound
for coffee. A brand that sold for
So cents last Thursday was quoted
at so cents. Another well-known
brand listed at SIS cents a week
ago rose to 81 cents.
The world supply Of coffee has
been affected not only by steadily
greater consumption in recent
years but also by unfavorable
weather conditions and other fac
tors.
Recent floods in Guatemala, a
hurricane in Haiti, political dis
turbances in Colombia and bad
weather during the Towering sea-
son in Brazil made this years crop
disappointing.
Production Of quality coffee used
in the United States has been be-
low consumption in recent months.
The difference has been made up
from accumulated stocks which
now are largely exhausted. World
demand for coffee this year is
about equal to maximum poten-
tial production, traders report.
General Down Trend.
The decline in egg prices has
developed mainly in the extra
large size. Since early this week,
the price in most of the large
chain store organizations here fell
from about II to II cents a dozen.
That was on top OF decreases
amounting to 9 cents during the
previous week.
The drop reflected a general
country wide downward trend in
wholesale prices. Medium size
eggs were a cent or two lower at
about 81 cents. Dealers said
greater egg production accounted
for the lower prices.
The Dun g. Bradstreet whole,
sale food price index this week
chalked up its sharpest advance
since July 13, 1948. It advanced
from $3.50 to $5.72. A year ago
1t stood at $6.47. The index rep
resents the total cost at whole
sale of pound each Of 81 foods

Soviet Charges West
Uses DPS 10 Spy on
Communist Nations
by the Assoeiofed Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 1.-THE
Soviet Union accused the United
States, Britain and France yester-
day of using displaced persons for
spying against the Communist
nations Of Eastern Europe.
For the second straight day,
Soviet bloc delegates In the United
Nations Assembly's Social Com
mittee bitterly attacked the West

refugee problem.
The committee adjourned until
today before Western power dele
gates could reply to the new
charges.
The Soviet charge of spy
recruiting was coupled with ac-
cusations that displaced persons
camps have become a source of
cheap labor for the Western
powers.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt an
grily denied that charge yesterday
when it was revived by the Soviet
Ukraine: she declared such &C
eusations create the kind of SEN
tinfent which makes peace diff

Mrs. Roosevelt did not take part
in yesterdays debate in the COM
mittee. She followed closely. how

Tests Show Drug Really Cures
Seosickness> Navy Doctor Says

Dramamine, introduced during
the war as both a preventive and
cure of seasickness and for which
many seemingly extravagant
claims have been made, is not
purely psychological drug" but
is effective in most cases where
the illness is definitely physical.
This was reported to the Asso-
citation of Military Surgeons meet
ing here today at the Hotel Stat
Ter by Capt. Christopher c. Shaw
of the Navy Bureau of Medicine
and Surgery as a result of tests
with 906 persons ranging from
chronically seasick sailors and
Marines to nauseated expectant
mothers. The tests were con-
Quoted at the Nays Medical
Center at Bethesda.
The difficulty Of evaluating It
rose largely from the fact that
seasickness often is considered
only a state of mind and the be-
lief has been that a sugar tablet,
in which a patient had faith, was
just as effective as any specific
drug.
Minor Navy Problem.
Real Seasickness, DR.. Shaw ex-
planned. is a relatively minor prob
lem for the Navy.
The studies with dramamine
were carried out with 13 groups.
Typical of these was one with
Marines in a landing craft in a
rough sea. Some were given
dramamine before exposure to the
rough seas. Only 4 per cent
showed any signs of seasickness
while 81 per cent of those given
sugar pills became sick.
In one experiment on Coast
Guard ships, it, was found that
sugar tablets alone were slightly
more effective than dramamine in
preventing" seasickness. but that
the drug was somewhat more
valuable in curing it.
The tests also showed that the
new drug has some slight value
in preventing air sickness, but
that it is not as effective as in
the case Of Seasickness.
Icebreaker Crew Tested.
A notable test was carried out
on the crew of the icebreaker
Edisto in Greenland waters. the

roughest area in the world. The
drug quickly cured 81 per cent of
the seasickness symptoms, brought
some relief in "a per cent of the
cases and proved a complete
failure in 5 per cent.
The tests with expectant moth
ers at the Navy Medical Center's S
obstetrical clinic brought relief in
seven out of 13 cases. Sugar pills
were of no value and other drugs
built up on the same general
chemical formula as dramamine
were only about half as effective.
New light on the dreaded radia-
ton sickness, the often fatal NAL
ady which follows exposure to
atomic bomb radiation, was given
the military surgeons by Capt.
c. F. Behrens of the Naval Medi-
cal Research Institute.
1t has been found, he said, that
in addition to the damage to cells
by radiation, certain poisons
which have not yet been identi-
fed, are let loose in the circula-
tory system. It is not known
whether these are due to the radi-
alton or to the disintegration of
cells. There is also some uniden-
tifled substance produced which
prevents coagulation of the blood
so that victims are likely to bleed
to death. he said.
Some Antidotes Found.
A few antidotes have been
found which appear to have some
value, notably extracts from the
cortex Of the adrenal glands. The
two amino acids. cysteine and
glutathione, which are normal
constituents Of the body, also have
some value. A drug known as
toluidin blue acts as an antag-
onist to the anti-coagulating
factor. r.
In general, Capt. Behrens said.
Some progress is being made and
we need not take a defeatist at
titude towards therapeutic posi-
bilities."

He carries on in nobler way;
Though we can see his face no more,
Thanks for his friendship for a day.

Confusion
The elections happened in mid
stream amidst the controver-
sizes of the basketball scene and the
foolish" tension between some
members and some outsiders.
In the basketball affair, there
has been SO much confusion that
the community. its officers and the
Fey didn't know what was coming
or going. The principal causes are
religious differences, minority OPP
position, and SO much double-talk
Even the players themselves didn't
know to whom their team belonged
to the Fey with the community'S
support, or to the wholesale ex-
pense of the community itself.
So much has the chickering's been
that in the last hope, there are now
two teams, splitting again the full
energies of the boys. The team
which will be fondled lovingly
(the boys hope) by the community
is the CAVALIERS. 1t is the
same championship team of last
year only under a different name.
The Fey will step out on the gym
floor as the familiar "CRUSAD-
Frs" The name was withheld for
the Fey since Crusaders imply
knighthood-a Catholic institution.
Gearge Cassi was chosen as
Coach for the Crusader" on cleo
ton night. Ray Cantil then was
given the job of Athletic Commits
sioner and Adeline Bernardino to
be head of Girls Athletics.

team was SO closely inter-related
with the Fey: its players are Fey,
its bannerhead was an Fey touch,
that everything was taken for
granted THEN. NOW 49,. the de-
cisions rest.
