South korea's
Runners Barred
From Marathon
Can't Race While u. S
Boys Fight for Them,
Boston Official Says
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, Jan. 31.-South Ko-
reans, winners of two of the last
four Boston AA marathons, are
barred from it's next 26-mile 1885,
yard race on April 10.
The ban was imposed after Wal
ter Brown, BAA president, read a
report from Tongnae, Korea, that
an eight-man squad was compet-
ing for places on a three man
team that would be entered in the
famous Boston endurance test.
The report indicated that the
South Korean government had
given the eight runners special
dispensation to train. Before
Brown. who also heads his organ
ization's Marathon Race Com
mlttee, reacted to the story, it
drew harsh sports editorial from
the Boston Evening American.
Among the eight marathon
trainees listed were Ham Ki Yong
Song Xii Yum and Choi Yoon Chill
who finished -two-thre here
last year. In 1947 Yon Buk Sub
was the first Korean victor.
Korea Needs Them More.
"Our fellows are over in Korea
fighting and dying to keep that
country alive" Brown said an
grily. why should we accept Ko-
rean entries when they should stay
at home and fight themselves"
"All I know about their inten-
tentions is what I read in the
newspapers, Brown continued
"but I think we're perfectly justi-
fed in refusing their entries even
before we receive them"
The Americans editorial point
ed out:
American casualties in Korea
are in excess of $4,000 and stead
lily mounting and this Nation is
committed to a program of con-
slant replenishment.
If South Korea can spare the
flower of its own manhood from
military service merely so they
may run in a marathon, young
Americans and the parents OF
young Americans can be pardoned
for wondering why Americans
fight in Korea at all. -
Korean Official Surprised.
And if we accept athletic
prowess as valid reason for ex.
emption from military duty, thi.
Nation should release thousand.
Of young Americans from the
armed services-runners jumpers
baseball players, football players
swimmers and divers. :"

rotted in the fields for lack of
takers.
In normal years, of course,
wastage of bargain-counter food
is even greater. Some of it is un-
avoidable. People can't be ex-
pected to eat cabbage until it
runs out of their ears, just be-
cause it happens to be plentiful
and cheap for two or three weeks.
But a greater awareness of the
opportunities presented by such
seasonal oversupplies could
surely save the average family
money without bringing any
complaints at the table.
The Unpicked Apples
YET the fact remains that we
pass up bargains 50 often that
farmers have learned from ex-
perience that it frequently pays
or at least cuts their loss -
not to bother to offer them to US.
Last fall. for instance, thou
sands of farmers were reported
leaving apples hanging on their
trees because they had given up
hope of selling them at a price
that would even pay for the
picking. The apples were smaller
than we're used to eating, but
fine for pies or applesauce.
. Going back to meat, the
expert who talked to Mayor
La Guardia showed me a chart
that he had kept on the price of
a favorite cut of beef in the New
York market over the four-year
period of l947 through 1850. In
variably the low point for the
year came sometime between
mid January and mid March,
the high point between mid
August and mid October.
Packers Job
If ALL the meat had to be
hurried right into the retail mar
kets from the farms, the way
fresh vegetables do" the expert
pointed out, you would have a
terrific oversupply during the
slaughtering months; prices
would 60 so low they would be
ruinous for the farmers. And
you would have very little
meat, at fantastically high
prices, during the quiet
months.
you don't have that situa-
ton because it is the packers
function to store enough of each
years supply to keep us going
until the next crop comes in.
Naturally, that requires huge
investment, and the packers
have to get their money back in
the prices we pay for the meat.
As the supply gets lower, their
investment cost gets higher -
and so does the price they have
to charge. And, of course, the
lower the supply gets. the more

If the experts are right that
food prices generally are going
to continue on up in 1851, it
would seem to be a good time to
do some saving. And you can do
it if you will eat by the calendar
instead of by habit and whim.
Of course, if you have access to
a frozen-food locker you can buy

HOW TO CUT YOUR FOOD BILL
Continued from page five

September to go light on beef
and eat more chicken.
Chicken, incidentally, is less
seasonal in its supply and price
range than most other foods, be-
cause nearly half of our chicken
meat now comes from big COM
mercial broiler producers.
One time of year is practi-
cally as good as another, when
the whole operation takes
place inside a big, modern
broiler plant with electricity
substituting for weather. 1t
takes only IL to IA weeks to
grow a crop. and the commercial
broiler men, keeping an eye on
the market, can turn production
on and off just as the manufac-
turers of other products can.
Something over half of our
chicken meat, however, still
comes from farm flocks that are
seasonal. These are usually heav-
lily culled before the winter grain
eating season sets in, which
makes September and October
usually good chicken months.
Government Steps I'm
EvEN dairy products are sea-
sonal. The dairy farmer always
gets more for the milk we buy to
use fresh than that which goes
into butter, cheese and dry skim
milk. So there are more of these
products made when the seasonal
milk supply is high, and the
prices fluctuate accordingly.
The government, under its
price support programs, often
steps into the market for butter
and cheese - and for eggs, too
- when the seasonal floods set
in. This keeps the prices from
going as low as they might other
wise: and the government holds
some of these purchases as a
backlog, makes others available
for school lunches, for institu-
tional use and for shipment to
other countries.
The government does not buy
until the price has reached a
minimum below which it is con-
sidered Improbable for the
farmer to 60 on producing. When
that point is reached. you can be
very sure that the retail prices
at which you and l can buy the
same foods are considerably low
er than at the times of year when
hens lay fewer eggs and cows
give less milk to be made into
butter and cheese.

District Judge F. Dickinson
Let's yesterday took under con-
sideration two motions in an anti
segregation suit brought by three
colored employees of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad against the
railroad and the Brotherhood of
Railway and Steamship Clerks,
Freight Handlers, Express and
Station Employees.
One motion made by counsel
for the railroad and the union,
asked dismissal of the suit. The
other motion made by attorneys
for the three plaintiffs asked that
the railroad and the union be en-
Joined from causing the firing of
the three employees. pending trial
of the case on its merits.
The suit charges the railroad
and the union of violating the
Railway Labor Act in that the
three employees had been informed
that they would have to join a
colored local of the union or face
discharge under a closed shop
agreement. The suit charges the
men were denied membership in
the white local.
Counsel for the defendants, in
asking dismissal. argued that the
employees had not yet been dis
charged and the suit was based on
| a conjecture" of what might
happen.
The three plaintiffs are James
P. Taylor. Howard Taylor, and
Charles Blake, all employed at
the railroads Camden warehouse
