Jets the other half of the rough
house duo has been taken over
by smiling Vivian Johnson. Miss
Johnson, who at 27 has develop
ed into. a formidable defensive
star, was steered into Roller
Derby competition by an ador-
ing mother, who has been a
Roller Derby fan ever since VII
Wan was a child.
Keep me out of the Roller
Derby? Not my mother" Miss
johnson said. II remember
when we used to line up at the
box office at 5 p. m, as soon as
the Roller Derby would come to
Minneapolis. When the gates
opened, mother would grab me
and we'd make a mad dash for
the general admission seats. We
seldom missed a game"
Vivian starred on the Mar
shall High School basketball
team, but had limited roller
skating experience before she
joined the Roller Derby back in
1912. But Capt. Toughie Bra
suhn said Vivian has more than
made up for her earlier lack of
experience with her power plays
- considered by many as the
best among the girl players.
And fans who watched her in
action here agree. She's never
been seriously injured in the
Roller Derby, but she has been
thrilling the fans here with her
share of roughness and ability
to toss opponents over the rail.
The Roller Derby continues
here through Oct. Is. After the
series with the Jets the Red
Devils play host to the Philadel-
phia Panthers. Philadelphia slat-
ed to move in on Oct. 4.

Symiington Hits
Undue Haste in
Civil Defense
Tells Mayors Time
Still Remains for
Orderly Planning
By Miriom Ottenbero

More than 400 mayors and
civil defense directors, eager to
get some answers to their civil
defense problems, today were told
by a top-ranking Federal official
that there is still time left to go
about the preparedness job in
orderly fashion"
w. Stuart Symington, National
Security Resources Board director,
made that forecast in countering
demands from the mayors for
some answers to the questions that
brought them to Washington.
When one after another wanted
to know how much money the
Federal Government would give
them for civil defense and
whether they should start buying
now or wait. Mr.. Symington said
NSRB will be ready to give the
next Congress proposals on how
much of the cost of civil defense
should be underwritten by the
Federal Government.
He told the emergency civil de-
fense meeting, however, that the
more cities that can do without
Federal patronage, the better it
will be for the country.
Blessing in Disguise"
Declaring that civil defense
might well be the difference be-
tween winning and losing a war,
Mr.. Symington said the Korean
episode might be blessing in dis
guise .. because it has given us
one last chance to face up to the
realities of the world in which we
live"
When the Mayors got down to
asking questions, Mayor Elmer E,
Robinson of San Francisco drew
round of applause for a charge
that civil defense has been the
"stepchild of the Government, !"

she's sharpened what little hear

It was a year ago that the
child's mother came to the Wash

what could be done about her
child's deafness.
The society. a Red Feather
agency, first sent the child to an

RetaiIPorkPrice
Down Slightly
In Stores Here
Further Drop Due
As Hog Receipts
Climb at Chicago

A slight drop in the price of
pork in Washington's groceries to-
day was the first visible sign of a
long awaited seasonal downturn
in meat prices.
Hog prices dropped below the
pre-Korean war levels at Chicago
this week for the first time as
receipts climbed, the Associated
Press reported.
Rib end pork roast was selling
here for As and At cents a pound
in some chain stores, from l to
cents under last weeks price.
Changes in other meat prices were
scattered and set no trend.
Record Production Due.
But, the Agriculture Depart
ment said farm sales of meat ami
mails will continue to increase
through the fall and early winter
and prices of pork and beef are
expected to drop as supplies
mount. The decline for veal and
lamb prices may be smaller.
John F. Krey, retiring chairman
OF the American Meat Institute,
told a Chicago convention:
"Mheat production in 1850 is
expected to be about 22.4 billion
pounds. about three -fourths bill
lion pounds larger than in 1949
And it Is expected that produc-
ton In 1851 will be about 23.5
billion pounds. This would be
the largest meat supply on rec
ord. except during World War II
when the highest production
achieved was about Is billion
pounds"
Wholesale Index Drops.
The Dun & Bradstreet whole,
sale food index posted it's sharpest
drop in more than year this
week as wholesale prices reflected
the commodity market break
which followed the favorable turr
in the Korean war last week. The
index figure should be reflected ir
retail prices in a few weeks.
The index skidded II cents tc
$3.50, lowest since July Is wher
it was on the way up to the years
peak of $3.50, reached in the week
of August 20.
A year ago the index was S5.65
or Is per cent below the present
level. Just before the Korean wal

ment and said the damage from
fire, smoke and water might be
substantial.

walking past the store. He saw
smoke seeping through a sidewalk
trapdoor.
