Pa, Banquet, October 5th

Some Delaware chickens are
eating their way down the home
stretch of one Of the most unusual
poultry contests ever staged.
These birds were approaching
the finish, line last week in expert
mental pens at Pennsylvania State
College. While they are being lit
orally grown to a predetermined
tailor made" size for serving to
more than 500 poultry leaders at
the annual convention banquet of
the Northeastern Poultry Produc-
ers Council in Harrisburg, Pa, on
Oct. 5, they also are expected to
yield answers to several important
problems confronting the poultry
industry.
The prize chickens, Matched
Aug. 4, to be of exact size for the
convention banquet were selected
from 20 outstanding Chicken-of-
Tomorrow flocks produced in the
nation wide research program
sponsored by A & P Food Stores,
all major poultry organizations and
the u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. Each flock selected for the
test was the winner of champion
ship award for birds with broader
breasts, meatier drumsticks and
the ability to gain weight rapidly
on smaller amounts of feed.
All 13 states in the NEPPCC
area are represented. Delaware's
prize entry came from a flock de-

Achieve It's Quota.

According to Capt. James j..
Deputy, commanding officer of
Milford's crack Delaware National
Guard unit, Battery c, the current
recruiting drive is meeting with
much success and there is a good
possibility that the much cited To-

battery to reach it's quota.
The nationwide National Guard
recruiting drive got underway the
past Monday and all units complet-
ing their quotas will be eligible to
compete for the Eisenhower Tro-

during recent weeks, eighteen re-
cruits have been signed up, bring
ing the battery up to strength of
III men and leaving it just twenty
nine short of the goal. A concen-
trated drive is now underway and
it is hoped that Battery c will be
at full strength by Monday, Octo-

Filed In Federal Court

Do the American people want
A & P put out of business?
This blunt question is being ask
ed in an advertisement published
by The Great Atlantic and Pacific
Tea Company, in 1000 newspapers
this week. 1t was in answer to the
Antitrust suit filed in Federal
Court in New York last week, call
ing for dissolution of the Company.
Pointing out that the attack, If
successful, would mean higher
food prices, A & P said, "This poses
a basic question for the American
people: Do they want to continue
to enjoy lower food prices and bet
ter living or do they want to break
up A & P and have lower living
standards?"
The statement explained that the
suit was brought under the Anti
Trust Laws which were passed tc
prevent anyone from getting q
monopoly and then raising prices
to the public.

U. 5. Delegate Warns
Shortwaye Agreement

, BY the Assoeioisd Press

MEXICO CITY, April THE
United States warned yesterday
that 1t may not sign the world
shortwave broadcasting plan

representatives said Soviet Russia
and others get too much time.
The American chief delegate
told the world radio conference:
MY Government and the people
of my country are not accustomed
to seeing the U. S. A. 10th re-
moved from the top of the list in
matters of world affairs"
The statement was made by
George e. Sterling. Federal Com

chairman of the American dele
CATION. He said he is asking in
structions from Washington.
Worked 512 Months.
The warning worried delegates
from IS countries who have
worked five-and-a-half months to
produce the plan for sharing eight
shortwave broadcast bands be-
tween 8 and 26 megacycles. There
can be no effective plan without
the United States.
Behind it was the fact that
Russia, under the plan, gets $50
hours of air time day, Britain
1874, and India, 350l2. France
and others have no more than the
United States with its 202.
This would put the United
States at a disadvantage in inter-
national short-wave broadcasting
and in any propaganda battles
and psychological warfare for
which most countries use the
bands.
