Ia pound. In free market, Safe
way reported, brisket beef by COM
parison should be As cents a
pound. But the OPS ceiling on
brisket is IA cents.
2. Chuck arm pot roast, termed
more popular than chuck blade
roast because it is more tender
and has less bone and fat, has
been given the same ceiling price
as chuck blade roast.
The Safeway report added that
OPS has set regulations on ground
beef and pre-cubed cube steaks
SO they won't have to work so
hard to enforce the regulations.
One Price for Preground Beef.
The regulation sets one price for
all preground beef, regardless of
grade or fat content, and the low
ceiling halts including the better
grades. Thus, the particular house
wife must buy a higher-priced cut
and ask to have it specially
ground.
On pre-cubed steaks, OPS al
lows use of only two lower grades.
Therefore, cube steaks in the
higher grades must be prepared to
order.
Concerning the trimming of beef
for sale. Safeway said:
OPS retail ceiling prices on
beef are based upon OPS trim.

Court Order Sought in ice
Review of Bus Fare Rise

A petition for a court order
directing the Interstate Commerce
Commission to review a November,
1850, decision favoring a flve-cent
bus fare increase has been filed in
District Court, Alexandria, by the
Arlington County Board.
The increase was granted on
interstate lines operated by the
Alexandria, Bancroft & Washing
ton Transit Co. over county board
protests. A petition was filed on
January 8 asking the ICC to re-
consider its ruling. The request
was denied in April and the
County Board on May 5 directed
Attorney Malcolm D. Miller to file
court proceedings.
The fare increase went into ef-
feet last November.

Point to Drop in Profit.
In its Washington stores, Safe
way reported drop in gross
profit on meat sales from 1898
per cent last January to 6.91 per
cent for the week ending June Z.
The profit figure first went down
to 5.84 per cent, then up to 7.49
pei cent, before coming down to
the June Z level.
The gross profit for each carcass
cut up and sold at retail averaged
$6.14 last January, $4.01 for the
week ending June Z.
Safeway concluded:
Continuation of controls will
result in the same conditions as
finally existed under OPA. We
are already well along the road
to chaotic situation including:
"The gradual disappearance of
the more popular cuts, the distinct
possibility of black markets, SUBJ
stantial difficulties in buying
meat through regular channels OF
supply at the theoretical ceiling
prices. greater deterioration in
trimming practices, and higher
actual costs to consumers"

Elementary lessons in meat
cutting and pricing are being
given members of Congress these
days by retailers in their fight
against the Office of Price Stabil-
ization price ceilings.
The price ceilings are not real
istic, the retailers contend. be-
cause they have raised the price
of cheaper cuts to lower the price
of scarcer and more expensive
cuts.
Latest primer to reach Capitol
Hill is an illustrated booklet pre-
pared by Safeway Stores. The
booklet explains it touches only
major element of the retail meat
business and the principal effects
Iof OPS regulations.
Even this" the booklet says,
"is by no means complete because
the regulations taken as a whole
have created a situation which is
so completely fouled up that we
doubt if any one understands it
thoroughly"
Examples Are Cited.
Since there are not enough of
the scarcer cuts of meat to meet
the demand for them, consumers
must buy the cheaper cuts whose
prices have been increased by
OPS, the booklet says.
These examples are cited:

Proposed Air Force School
To Cost S148 Million
By the Assoeiated Press

Assistant Secretary of Defense
Daniel K. Edwards estimates that
the final cost of a proposed Air
Force Academy would be around
$148 million.
The estimate was contained in
a letter to Chairman VinSon Of
the House Armed Services Com
mittee. Mr.. Vinson made it pub
lie yesterday in introducing an
administration bill to establish an
Air Force school at a site yet to
be selected.
Mr.. Edwards said an accurate
estimate of construction costs
would be made "only after full
investigation of the actual site
selected for development and a
determination of the type of
architecture and materials to be
used" He estimated that the cost
of operating the academy for the
first year "at limited strength
would be about SIS million.

"a car that generally matched the
title, would change the numbers
and sell the car to legitimate but
careless used car dealers.
With another national emer-
Igency, and a consequent shortage
Iof metals and auto accessories,
Washington police are ready for
another wave of "strippers"-
thieves who steal car for what
they can take from it or out of

Again, these thieves generally
will bother only with a car that
can be started quickly-which
means an unlocked car.
Like Leaving Key Under Mat.
$50 our problem can be reduced
considerably through co-opera-
ton from the public" 1t. Wolf
Fconcludes. When you leave your
car, take the key out of the igni-
ton and lock it. Don't just lock
the ignition and leave the key
over the sun visor, for instance.
It's like leaving the house key
under the mat"
1t. Wolf also advises motorists
to make a record of their license
number, registration and motor
number, and description of the
car, in case it is stolen. Since
professional thieves often alter a
cars appearance considerably, 1t.
Wolf points out it would be a
great help to police if motorists
would make a mark somewhere in
the car-under the door, for in
stance. Thieves would not be apt
to spot this, and it would be an
ideal Identification.
