AMERICANS EATING LESS MEAT

The Department of Agriculture estimates that per capita meat consumption this year will be the smallest in eight years After increasing steadily in recent years high prices encountered by housewives this year have forced consumption down sharply.
 The average American family now spends twenty per cent of it's income, after taxes for food This figure is higher than in the past for two First the cost of food has risen rapidly than the cost of other goods. Second the average American family is buying greater quantity per capita quantity of food than it was only ten fifteen years ago.
 Food which cost SIS in the pre-war period of 193539 costs almost $275. Compared to the same 193539 period the average family is buying eleven per cent more food today
 Already strained by larger food purchases at high CT prces the average familys food budget could not stand the price of meat this year and thus the decline in consumption which is expected to be followed by some decline in prices

CrOcers Want Permission To Raise Prices

WASHINGTON, P)-The na- tion's grocers want permission to charge higher prices basing their plea primarily on increased costs.
 Price stabilization officials said they would conduct a quick sur vey of conditions in the nations 560,000 food stores to see if "em- ergency" relief from present gro- cery store price ceilings is needed. But the officials indicated over all grocery price adjustments would not come for some time.
 Price Control officials said the requested increase might add one-half to one per cent to the country'S present food bill.
 The advisory committee told the OPS that the grocers need to en- large their present overall profit margin by two percentage points.
 Earlier this week the OPS gave thousands of manufacturers, pro- cessors, refiners and others-in- cluding businesses preparing meat, milk, butter and other foods for the retail market-per- mission to apply for higher ceil- ing prices.
 And the Bureau of Labor Stat istics reported that retail food prices reached a new high on Nov. Is. The bureau said an eight-city survey pushed it's index up to 231.2, compared to the 1935-1939 average of 100. That was about 14 per cent above pre- Korea prices.

 Can Defend Self

U. s. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD QUARTERS, Korea, (P) - The US. Eighth Army is going to stay right here in Korea until South Korea can defend itself, Gen. James A. Van Fleet declared to- day.
 "That is my mission now," the Eighth Army commander said in an interview. "Of course the plans can change, but right now I am under orders to build up the South Korean army until it can stand on it's own two feet"
 Van Fleet, who is a noted trainer of underdog fighting men all the way from Greece to Ko- req, gave the interview in his school house headquarters.
 "We want the Republic of Ko- req to have the sense of security it needs So that it's people will feel certain they are going to remain free," said the man who chased the communists out of Greece and then got them on the run in Korea.

Continued from Page One)

'SOIlLllluCu HUH dSS o1GB Red Cross see how prisoners are being treated and for refusing to say how many prisoners they hold and where.

 The Reds said it would take them a month to deliver all pri- soners.
 Brig. Gen. William P. NuckolS, JUN. spokesman, said "the ques- tion of prisoners of war is being! held over our heads" to force what he called an undesirable solution of the prisoner and truce supervision problems.

Mail Dropped On Pole In First Commercial Flight

 The plane was dubbed the Polar Express" and was the outgrowth of plans sponsored by two Alas kans-neither of whom was al- lowed to accompany the six crew. men aboard the plane.
 The 9-foot steel north pole, painted like candy cane, was fathered by Stan Carson, former worker at the Navy's Pt. Barrow oil reserve. The project was ex- banded by Mrs. Audree Vance, otherwise known as North Pole Nellie,". originator of the idea to have children send along their Christmas requests to Santa Claus for doorstep delivery.
 The Navy wouldn't let Mrs. Vance land at Pt. Barrow-it has rule against women at that farthest north Alaskan point. Carson was ruled out by airline and CAA rules that permit only crew members aboard the plane.
 A movie actress kisses were blamed for stopping the flight clock here yesterday. She was Carolina Cotton, who bussed each of the crew members soundly be- fore the takoff. The big craft taxied to the end of the ramp, then came back.
 ''Bum magneto in one engine" said the pilot. ''Phooey," a skep- tical crewman said. "We just came back for another kiss" They changed the magneto, anyway.

Prehistoric JaWbOne

JEFFERSON, Ia., (P - A 55- pound lower jawbone of one of Iowa's native elephants was found recently by Lynn Deal on his farm near here. Excellently preserved, the bone was identi- fled as that of a hairy mammoth. The mammoth, a pleistocene-age relative of the elephant, roamed this part of the world 50,O0O years or so ago. It was about the size of the modern elephant.

TAXES NOW TAKE s1 OF EACH $3.4O

Now federal tax increases will bring the toll out of every dollar earned to higher level than in 1945 the peak year of World War II. The to federal state and local in 1852 is expected to be $1 out of every $34O earned In 1945 it was just penny less But in 1850 it was only $1 in each $4-still high rate.
 In 1941 the toll was $1 out of $5 Thus the tax payer today is heavily taxed than before in U s. history. The main question is-where do we go from here? The answer will certainly have bearing on the 1852 elections
