What Egg Price Support
Changes Mean to Delaware

Delaware poultrymen aren't very
happy these days. Some don't ex-
pect to get their full share of the
farm prosperity expected in 1851.
Farmers will have as many or
more eggs to sell as last year but
the Secretary of Agriculture just
announced that there would be no
price support for eggs in 1851.
Government buying for support
operations took about six percent
of the total supply. 1t is doubted
if the expected stronger consumer
demands will be enough to Offset
the lack of government support
price buying. Even though most of
the support buying was carried out
largely in the midwest, its effects
were felt by Delaware poultrymen
but to a lesser degree than the
corn belt farmer. The spring of
1851 may find good, cheap western
eggs in abundance in our nearby
markets.
On the other side of the ledger,
feed and other operating costs will
be higher. Besides that, with costs
of living for farm families going
up every day, a dollar profit won't
buy as much in 1851 as last year.
If egg prices are unfavorable in
the spring, chick placements may

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7-IR-The
Marine Corps is mobilizing nearly
all it's available manpower.
An announcement today that 1t
will put its 10000 volunteer re-
serves in uniform tapped the last
big reservoir. This will boost the
strength of the fighting Marines to
around 100000.
A Marine spokesman said the
initial call is going out to approx
mately $4,000 officers and men who
will report for active duty between
Aug. Is and Oct. 81.
The Marine Corps said that it
also is calling up additional or
ganized units of its air reserve.
Some air reserve units were sum-
moned to active duty about three
weeks ago.
The corps already has called to
active duty all its organized ground
reserve units.
A Marine spokesman said no
date has been set for the call to

700 TO 1000
ATTEND PICNIC
HELD BY ELkS

Seven hundreds to 1000 Elks, their
families and invited friends turned
out yesterday for grand and gala
Elks annual picnic held at AUX
recreation center. Even the wealth
erman cooperated by donating a
cloudless. warm. and sunny day.
Young and old had wonderful
time with the afternoon given over
to various contests and Sherwood's
ponies Travelled miles giving the
youngsters free rides.
The only worry in the crowd was
borne by the food committee. First
they ran out of beans-sent an sos
brigade to town for more beans;
then they ran out of ham-and re-
plenished that; then the salad bowls
were empty, so they served hot dogs
which were on hard in endless
strings. Pop, ice cream and cocoa
made the day perfect for the kids.
All in all, said the committee. it
was one of the finest and most sue
cessful Elks picnics ever enjoyed
by the Juneau lodge.

BRIDGES IS
JAILED BY
FED. JUDGE
Bail Of $4,000 Revoked
Attorneys Make Appeal
10 Circuit Court

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. TIP
Harry Bridges attorneys today
asked the US. Circuit Court of APP
peals here to free the jailed presi-
dent of the CLIO Longshoremen's
Union.
They filed writ asking that bail
be set. The court agreed to hear
arguments at 10 am. tomorrow.
Bridges was jailed Saturday after
Federal District Judge George Har-
ris revoked his $4,000 bail. He up
held the government contention that
the longshore leader is threat to
national security and should be in
custody pending appeal of his per-
jury conviction.
Norman Leonard, the attorney
who signed the circuit court appeal,
said the government has made no
claim that Bridges is not good risk
nor that there is no grounds for
appeal.
The writ said that to deny bail
because in meetings of his own
labor union Bridges said things
which not only every citizen but
every person in our nation has the
Constitutional right to say" would
violate Bridges Constitutional
rights.
Meanwhile, the attorneys also
presented to Federal District Judge
Dial M. Lennon writ of habeas
corpus asking that the government
show cause why Bridges should not
go free on bail.
In revoking bail. District Judge
Harris termed Bridges probably one
of the most cogent figures in the
Communist party in America to-
day."

Jensen Demands Grand Jury
Investigation Of Territory,
Palmer Airport Transaction

FAIRBANKS, Alaska. Aug. 7-IR
"A grand jury investigation to de-
eide legality of $4,000 land tran
saction between the Territory and
the Palmer Airport Assn, was de-
manded Saturday by Marcus Jen-
sen.
Jensen. from Douglas, is an in
vestigating committee member OF
the Alaska House of Representa-
tives.
He said the transaction involved
payment of $4,000 by the Terri
tory to the airport association for
1874 acres of land at Palmer for
new Palmer airport, and repay
ment of $145,00O to the Territory
by the association.
The price per acre paid by the
Territory for the land was $1,l72
Official records of the Civil Aero
nautics Administration show the
land last year was valued at SAG
per acre.
Jensen said his demand for grand
jury action was based on reports
that the inflated value Of the LAND
was paid by the Territory to obtain
federal matching funds under the
Federal Airport Aid Act, in order to
offset territorial expenditures MADE
on the Palmer airport prior to the
effective date of the act.
Meanwhile, Alaska's Auditor
Frank A. Boyle has asked TERRI
torial Atty. Gen. j. Gerald Williams
for an opinion as to the legality OF
the entire Palmer transaction.

r0cious Air Attack
(By the Associated Press)

US. Marines and Infantrymen
smashed almost two miles ahead in
their new Korean offensive behind
a ferocious air attack today, in
flicting possibly the heaviest casual
ties of the war on stiffly resisting
Communist forces.
The brunt of an attack by about
5000 men, including leathernecks,
doughboys and some South Korean
Commando units, was hurled against
the 9Th North Korean Division,
who were forced to expose their po-
sition to Fifth Air Force Fighters
and bombers. A staff officer said
"the air boys had more and better
targets today than they have had
in long time"
The attack roared out Sunday
after us. artillery laid down a cur
tain of steel and US. planes spat
bombs, rockets and machinegun fire
at the enemy. The Reds replied with
heavy artillery fire directed against
American big gun positions.
While the new U.N. offensive
got underway in the southernmost
part Of Korea, B-29 Superfortresses
made their biggest strike of the
war against Communist supplies.
The Superforts dropped $40 tons OF
bombs on railyards at Pyongyang,
the Red capital, and on an oil re-
finery at Wonsan.
All the bombsrs returned to their
bases.
The American attack was launched
Sunday even as the Communists
were preparing an attack of their
own. The Reds struck on the US.
right flank. The primary Com
munist threat still lay some IA miles
north of the new American thrust.
