But there were abundant signs
that Republicans, whose threats to
block the Inauguration pending an
election recount continued until
leaders worked out a ast-minute
compromise, were viewing the Bowles
proposals with a cold and wary eye
Cheers came from the Democratic
side of the hall of the House, where
the joint convention of the General
Assembly was held, when Gov.
Bowles had finished. One exuberant
Democrat yelled, "Bowles for Presi-

Uranium Spectators
Draw Swiss Warninq
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

BERN, Switzerland, January g.
The Swiss Atomic Energy Commis-
sion warned today against specula-
tors Offering smah quantities OF
uranium at fantastic prices"
The sale and purchase of uranium
element used in the production of
atomic energy-is not government
controlled In Switzerland. A state
ment by the Atomic Energy Com
mission said uranium was, at pres
ent, "one Of the most dangerous
commodities Of speculation"
"Unscrupulous dealers" the state
ment said, ARE demanding prices
for this metal which must be de-
scribed as absolutely fantastic.
THE public Is expressly warned
against such transactions, which In
volve great risks and are against
the interests of Our country"
DR.. Alfred Krethlov. q member Of
the Atomic Energy Commission, said
the origin of the uranium sold by
Spectators was not known, but, as
there Is no uranium production In
Switzerland, 1t must come from a
foreign source.
1--WE frequently receive reports OF
uranium being offered at prices in
volving several thousand Swiss
francs per kilogram, at least 10
times the normal market value" DR.
Krethlov said.
The quantities of the metal Of
fered are usually so small IS to be
entirely useless for atomic research,
DR.. Krethlov added, but the specu-
lators tried to dispose of 1t to per-
sons without any of the necessary
technical knowledge, who saw in
uranium merely q hopeful means of
investment.

Wholesale Butter Cut Republicans Still Wary
81 Gents, Other Food As Bow|es Asks Truce
Declines During Week In Connecticut Feud

A drop In the wholesale price of
butter Of 3h cents q pound led q
general downward movement in food
costs In the Washington market to-
day.
Meat, eggs and some types Of
canned fruits and vegetables con-
tinued to decline slightly during the
first week Of the new year, retail
and wholesale dealers reported.
While reductions in retail meat
prices were only q few cents in most
instances, the lower trend was con-
trary to predictions last week that
various top grades of meat might
show an upward swing after the
holidays.
Butter was quoted at 621k cents
a pound wholesale for 90 score and
81 cents for 90 score here. This was
3h cents below the market figures
at the start Of this week.
Retail Changes Lag.
The drop has not yet been fully
reflected in retail stores here. Sew
eral of the larger establishments
were selling top grade butter at 73
cents today, about 2 cents below the
price at the end Of December.
Eggs, listed at 81 to II cents a
dozen retail in some stores, were
about the same o. week ago
Dealers said the wholesale prices
have been going down gradually
during the last week.
The food price picture in Wash
ington was in line with a Nation
wide decline that has continued from
the closing weeks of l948.
Meat dealers here said they ex-
pected pork price reductions as q
result of the lowest level in hog
prices at the Chicago livestock mar
kets since October, 1916.
Trend Is Downward.
There was no major change since
last week In retail prices of pork
chops, bacon or similar products at
stores here today. The trend in
those as well as meat prices in gen.
eral has been downward for several
weeks and today average meat prices
in Washington are II per cent below
the mid-September peak.
Price reductions were more marked
ID canned goods. Large Gamers cut
fruit cocktail prices about 10 per
cent during the last week. Some of
the larger retail stores here adver-
tised types Of canned fruits at 3 to
cents below the holiday prices.
The Associated Press reported that
inventories of several major Gamers
were more than double those Of q
year ago. These stocks included
not only fruit cocktail but also
peaches, apricots, pears, cherries,
salad and mixed fruits.
While Florida oranges held steady
at about 23 cents q dozen in re-
tail markets here, below-freezing
weather in California was threaten
ing severe damage to oranges, to-
matoes, lemons, cantaloupes and
some winter vegetables.
