Meat Prices TO Rise
3 10 10Cents Soon

Bad news for housewives came
from local wholesale meat mar
kets today as the price of beef and
pork began to climb. Short sup
ply in the Chicago stockyards was
cause given.
The wholesale price of carcass
beef increased between 2 and 4
cents which means that the retail
price of dressed beef probably will
jump between 8 and 10 cents a
pound next week, market men
said.
Wholesale pork prices also have
increased between 2 and 4 cents
a pound.
Wholesale meat dealers said
beef prices usually advance in the
spring, but this weeks price in
crease was abnormally high.
Local market men said they
did not know what was causing
the shortage in the Chicago mar
ket although they had heard that
Government purchasing agents
were buying heavily.
Chain store officials said beef
and pork on sale this week end
was purchased before the whole
sale price advanced. Next week,
they said, they will have to jump
their prices.

Maragon's conviction was for ly-

that Maragon had received a fail

the court erred in not excluding
Government employees from the
jury. and in admitting certain
evidence and excluding other.
The motion for arrest of judg-

counts on which Maragon was
convicted do not charge any

was without jurisdiction as tt
one of them.

'7-Week Probe Brinq!
Montgomery Arrest
In Hit-and-Run Case

Nearly two months Of tedious
sleuthing has resulted in the ar
rest by Montgomery County police
of a Rockville man on a hit-and-
run charge.
Raymond Clarence Davis, 38, an
unemployed painter, was arrested
yesterday by Detective Frank
Griggs. The police official had
worked for more than seven weeks
investigating the accident in
which John Bowman, %, a farm
laborer of Olney, was seriously
injured while riding bicycle on
the Observation-Disclosures road.
About the only clues Detective
Griggs had at first were a scuff
mark on telephone pole and some
broken glass near the entrance to
the Manor Country Club where Mr.
Bowman was found March 4.
Unconscious for Days.
Mr.. Bowman lay unconscious
along the side of the road for
nearly IL hours before he was
found at $50 am. He suffered
head injuries and frozen feet and
is recuperating after spending sew
eral weeks in Suburban Hospital
Bethesda. He did not regain con.
sciousness for several days.
Detective Griggs, who was as
sisted in the case by Detective
Sergts. Stanley A. Harding anc
Jesse Day, said a desk clerk al

reported that its damages were

the night Of the accident. Police
quoted hira as saying he had been
involved in an accident in Penn
sylyania.
Checked in Pittsburgh.
Detective Griggs went to Pitts
burgh to check the story and re-
ported he found several discrep-
ancies. Meanwhile, he had learned
that Davis parents live in Sandy
Spring, which normally is reached
from Rockville on the Norbeck
road.
Laboratory analysis made by
the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation has linked Davis car to
the bicycle accident, Detective
Griggs said.
The scuf marks on the tele-
phone pole match those of dent
ed fender on the car, Detective
Griggs reported. The car also
had a. broken windshield, he
added. In addition. the detective
said, red paint similar to that on
the bicycle was found on license
plates in Davis possession.

or driving along the road on the
night in question. After he

Mr.. ForrestoI's Diary

The disclosure of the late Secretary For
reStal's attempt to delay the arrest of the prin-
cipal actors in the Amerasia case has created
something of minor sensation. But it is hard
to see wherein the facts point to anything more
than an error of Judgment on Mr. Forrestars part
This incident occurred in 1945, at a critical
stage of the attempt to set up the United Nations
Learning of the impending arrests and fearing
they might embarrass the President in his nego-
tiations with Russia, Mr.. Forrestal sought to
postpone action until Mr.. Truman could be
informed.
The net result was delay of week in
making the arrests, for when the matter came
to the Presidents attention he directed that the
case be pushed vigorously and completely.
There has been nothing to show that this
delay had anything to do with the subsequent
failure to convict all of the defendants Even if
the opposite were true, however, it would be
fantastic to conclude that Mr. Forrestal was
soft" toward communism. To make any such
assumption, in the light OF the abuse that was
heaped on him as a warmonger and Red batter.

where one and all might note his iden-

protest arose, this time calling for a still

the abSurdities of the situation were explained
to the General Assembly by the Arlington dele

the way for real medical cooperation between
the two Jurisdictions.
The outmoded licensing law originally was
intended to protect citizens of Virginia from an
invasion of "quacks" from States without ade-
quate licensing laws. Outsiders not only were
required to pay $50 for the right to make
single visit to patient in Virginia, but had
to prove their professional qualifications if they
came from State where licensing requirements
were lax. But all States long since have adopted
stringent laws governing medical practice. Most
of them have laws which grant reciprocal licens-
ing privileges to physicians from States having
similar laws The District, for example grants
"borderline reciprocity" certificates for one dollar
to Maryland doctors who wish to treat a patient
