cut straight across those of many
European economists.
Mr.. Hoffman wants European
currencies to be freely exchange
able. The idea is to speed up
trade and break down the f1nan-
cial bars to European self-help.
The Europeans believe the con-
tinent is not ready for that yet
and that such a system would only
bleed the weaker nations.
AS soon as Cripps gets back he
has to face angered trade union
leaders at the Labor Party's an
nual conference. Union demands
for wage increases are one of his
big headaches at time when he
is trying to cut the production
costs of export goods.
High Prices Reduce Sales.
High prices OF exports already
have reduced sales. The nations S
economic plan calls for constantly
increasing sales as the only chance
for recovery.
Rumors that the value of the
pound will be cut also are affect
ing exports.

accounts and to hold back orders

the pound should go down to So
he would need only $1,000 to buy
the bicycles.
That's the theory behind de-
valuation.
But Cripps says such procedure
"is neither necessary nor will it
take place"
Fears Price Rise.
His view is that devaluation
would only make it necessary to
produce even more goods to
acquire the same number of dol
lars.
AS consequence, 1t would raise
prices Of imported goods in terms
of pounds and set off imitation,
which so far has been pretty we'll

British export prices have gone
up because wages have increased

In output per man..
Raw materials, especially base
metals like copper and zinc, are
considerably higher than those in
the United States despite recent
price cuts. Such metals and many
other raw materials are bought in
bulk by the government and re-
sold to industry.
That adds to cost of export
goods.
So do increased rail rates and
higher coal costs. Both have been
raised since the government took
over the railways and the coal

NEW YORK, June 3.-The

Unions Come To Aid OF Needy School
Children Unable To Pay For Lunches

Men of the labor unions as
Sumed the role of good fairy this
week when they announced that
they are rallying their forces to
come to the aid of Pascagoula
school children who are not fl
nancially able to afford lunches
in the school cafeteria.
Some of the children not only
cannot buy their lunches but
have not even food to bring with
them from home. And there are
at very conservative count, 20 of
these little boys and girls in Pas
cagoula.
The situation was -spotlighted
when members of the Pipefitters
Local adopted" four children as
their luncheon guests for the re-
mainder of the year after they
discovered a teacher in the school,
wife of one of the union mem
bers, was personally paying from
her pitifully inadequate pay check
for lunches for one of the chill
dren.
Informed of the great need of
these children for whom the hot
noon meal at school forms the
mainstay of the days diet, other
unions became interested. Some
have already voted aid and 9TH
ers are in the process of determ-
lining just how much aid they can
give.
The Carpenters local voted to
finance lunches for three of the
children and Local No. l142, Con-
struction and General Laborers,
have already begun their pay
ments for meals for two colored
children.
when we went to the school
to take the money for the first
week." T. c Steele, business
manager, said, there were two
little fellows who hadn't had a
thing to eat. They were taken i'm
mediately to the cafeteria and
fed. 1t was certainly gratifying"
rs Cent Lunch
The Metal Trades Council has
promised support and is sched-
uled to vote on the matter at
the next meeting, as will the
Electricians. Other individual
unions are expected to take ac-
ton.
In addition, there has been
$5.25 contributed in cash toward
the relieving of this situation.
The price of a cafeteria lunch
is Is cents, or SIPS a week.
These meals are scientifically
planned to afford the majority of
the food values child will need
during the day.
Hardship cases are investigated
by Miss Clara Herrin of the Coun-
ty Public Welfare Department so
that there can be no doubt of the
need of the individuals. The
names of the children are re-
ferred to Miss Herrin by the
principals of the school but no
one else is told the name of the
particular child to guard against
any embarrassment for the little
boy or girl.

FOREIGN LABELS IRK
IZVESTIA

MOSCOW -AP-A writer in
'Izvestia" called recently for the
dropping of foreign labels from
Soviet made products.
"It is time,' he said, 'that a
stop was put to this practice of
insulting the work of Soviet en-
gineers and workers by the af-
fixing of foreign labels to native
produce"
Among terms still in use, he
said, were: Petit-beurre, petit
fours, eclair. nice, arrowroot and
osborne biscuits, cakes.
MANY goods in Leningrad
cafes and restaurants bear for
eign names while many of the
restaurants themselves bear such
names as Metropole, Angleterre,
Nord, Astoria, etc." he said.

Britain Sizes
Up Philip AS A
Prince OF A Guy

LONDON = (AP)- A Prince
of a guy. In pub and palace.
That's the way Britain has sized
up Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
! and husband of Princess Eliza
beth.
For more than a year now he
has been on trial, serving sort
of apprenticeship for a rough job
which will take onsincreasing re-
sponsibilities as the years roll
by. And those responsibilities may
pile up much more quickly than
anticipated. For Philip now
that King George is i'll = will be
expected to take over many of
the royal functions at public af-
fairs this year.
He has brought to the sedate
austerity of the palace a breath
of fresh air, common touch
which the common folk over here
approve.
By tradition, the royal family
make it a practice to leave par
ty early = even one of their own
at the Palace. Not Philip. He's E
bitter-ender.
BY practice, members of h e
royal family keep their cars wait
ing while out visiting for an eve
ming. Not Philip If he isn't driv-
ing himself as he usually does,
he'll tell the chauffeur: "Just
whip around for me about IL
will you?"
BY custom, Buckingham pal
ace has its flunkeys take care OF
the formalities when one of the
regal few accept the invitation
Not Philip. He phones - "Pll be
along sevenish."
Just as it happens on High
street, there is an argument with
in the palace gates on how to
say it: rs it kinema?" or "cina-
ma?" 1t doesn't worry Philip. He
says: Lets 60 to the movies"
He marked off cricket pitch
on the front lawn of his Windle-
sham Moor house and enlisted the
gardener, the odd-job man and
the policeman on duty for a lit
tie practice.
Here in Britain, the average
man takes his sports seriously.
Philip has proved himself a kin
dred soul. He's fair at golf. good
at cricket, better at squash, and
best of all at racing small sailing
craft.
But he's no playboy. There are
speeches to be made, fairs to be
opened, hospitals to be dedicated,
factories to be visited, youth or
CARNATIONS to be encouraged
Philip takes them all seriously.
For example, he took over the
honorary presidency of the Lon
don Feoeration of Boys clubs
With his naval work and royal
functions, he could have called
it quits by merely lending his
name to the organization. Philip
didn't. In nine weeks, he visited
as many clubs.
Philip really works at his job
as a prince,

Scientists Now
Putting Tags On
Florida Lobster
BY FRANK CAREY
Associated Press Science Reporter


CORAL GABLES, Fla. = (AP)
- Now they're putting number
plates on Holsters.
Marine biologists of the Uni
versity of Miami, working with
the Florida state board of con
servation, put tags" on some g.
600 crawfish or spiny Holsters, to
study their migratory habits.
(The "spiny lobster" is the type
that has no claWs)
The migration study is part of
general survey of the growth,
development, distribution and
characteristics of crawfish. This
Is all aimed at conserving proper
supplies of them, and at the same
time assuring lostermen of good
catches.
The tag consists of thin strip
OF plastic about two inches long
and 3-l6 inch wide with barbed
point at one end. The address of
the University's Marine Labora-
tory is printed on one side. On the
other side, there's a printed Sc
rial number and this instruction:
Tell Where, When and by Whom
Caught"
When lobster is selected as a
participant in the survey, a tag
is inserted between the second
and third rings of its tail, leav-
ing a little of the tag protruding.
Certain vital statistics concern
ing the lobster such as its
weight and size at the time of
initial tagging, and the date and
place are recorded by the sci
entists.
If you catch one of these lob
sters and return it to the labora-
tory, you get dollar reward.
Out of the studies have come
such findings as these:
The Holsters get around. The
average distance Travelled between
the GATE OF release and the date OF
recapture was ten miles. The av-
erage time during which the craw-
fish were free was &c days SO
that on the average they Travelled
Just over a fifth of mile per
day.
Some, however, travelled as
much as five miles in one day.
One lobster travelled 100 miles in
100 days.
The scientists have concluded
that because of the Holsters ten
dency toward wandering, it is
possible for a given fishing area
to soon become barren of craw-
fish or an area poorly supplied
may be repopulated in &. matter
of few months.
The creatures grow about one
inch a year at market size. Cal
culations based on the tagging
show that an area of twenty
square miles may be populated
by as many as 100000 crawfish
