way down the crevasse to tie a
rope around the girl, she already
was dead.

LONDON, May 18.-Archeolo-
gists announced today that they
have found proof that the Vikings
who swept into Britain 1000 years
ago were not all pirates and
plunderers. Some Just wanted tc
shoot craps.
Excavations undertaken by the
British Works Ministry at Jarlshof
on the southern tip of the Shet-
land Isles, turned up two acres OF
peaceful homesites built just be-
fore the 10th century by Viking
colonists from the Western dis
tricts of Norway.
Plenty of Dice.
Archeologists said they had un-
earthed some 1000 items there tc
indicate the Vikings way of life
There were plenty of dice, counters
and gaming gadgets, but the only
weapon left by the supposedly
warlike Vikings was one lone iron
spearhead.
The Daily Telegraph conceded
editorially this morning that his
tory may have Wronged the
Vikings.
I'VE tend always to think OF
the Vikings as pirates-the terror
of Europe from the west of Ireland
to the very heart of Russia" the

Ground Round Steak Rules Annoy Butchers

Finding a tenderloin of beef at
the meat market these days is a
rare, not to say illegal, bit of
business since the advent of new
ceiling price regulations.
The fancy and high-priced ten
derloin supposedly went out of
business for home consumption,
although it still is available at
restaurants.
But the average butcher prob
ably has more occasion to explain
to customers why cube steaks and
ground round are missing from
the show cases.
The Office of Price Sterilization
ruled out tenderloins as such as
protective measure. Strangely
enough, there seems to be no
way to grade this succulent NOR
sci, and OPS experts say it is
almost impossible to tell COM
mercial cut from a choice one.
So they simply told the butchers
they'd have to quit selling it, and
at $275 a pound. most people will
never know the difference.
Sirl0in Price Reduced.
They could use part of the ten
derloin in sirloin or T-bone cuts,
but this would be a losing
proposition. since the price of sir
loin actually was reduced under
the new ceiling list.
Most markets, especially chain
stores, probably have a bigger
headache in the regulations on
cube and ground round.
In most cases. the popular cubs
or minute steaks can no longer be
displayed on self-service counters
or in display cases. OPS did this
to defeat any temptation on the
part of the butcher to put out in
Iferior meats at higher costs.
The alternative is to sell ready
cubed meat at the commercial
grade price of 81 cents, which
would be a good way to 60 out OF
business fast.
Trim to Specifications.
Butchers thus are required to
cube steaks to customers specifi-
Ications-a time killer for both the
meat-cutter and the meat-eater
especially at self service stores
where the customer must ring a
bell to get special attention.
The same conditions are true
Iof ground round, another popular
meat hereabout. Instead of pick
ling up the ready-made article. the
consumer now must order it
ground. Hamburger meat still
may be offered pre-ground.

Draft Bill Conferees
Resume Talks Todayto
Iron Out Differences

After a three-week layoff. Cap
1tol Hill conferees will meet to-
day in a new attempt to iron
out bitter differences in House
and Senate draft bills.
Chairman Russell of the Senate
Armed Services Committee, con-
ference leader, cited the necessity
of reopening the draft argument
as the reason for postponing until
Monday further Senate hearings
on the custer of Gen. Macarthur.
It was exactly three weeks ago
today that the conferences were
postponed, to allow the Macarthur
investigation to begin. In four
sessions up to that time, the con-
ferees resolved a number of minor
differences. But the only major
agreement came in recommended
ton that length of draft service
be increased from 81 to "a months.
Big Fight Over UNIT.
The big fight, on which agree
ment is not expected today. will
come over the question of whether
Congress should pass strong uni
versal military training program
now.
President Truman again threw
his weight behind a strong UNIT
program yesterday. calling 1t "es-
sential to the safety Of our world
to our own safety"
He told a national conference on
citizenship that one Of the reasons
the Nation faces defense crisis
today is because Congress would
not adopt UNIT in 1945. And he
said the people who prevented"
passage Of the law then "are try
ing by every means at their COM
mand to prevent it now"
During the Macarthur hearings,
Defense Secretary Marshall also
renewed appeals for adoption Of
UNIT. declaring that manpower
mobilization plans are based on
the universal military service
training proposal which is COM
pletely held up here in Congress. ="
Favored by Macarthur.
Gen. Macarthur, who strongly
has Endorsed UNIT in the past, told
the Senators he still favored it.
But he added that in view of the
present emergency he might favor
holding it up for the present.
The Senate's draft bill version
would permit UNIT to begin for
men below the age of 19 as soon
as such youths no longer are
needed for actual military service.
But the House version, while in
dorsing UNIT. would require Con-
gress to pass a new law later be-
fore it could go into effect.
Aside from the UNIT issue, the
conferees must decide whether to
adopt a House proposal to cut the
draft age from 19 to 1872, or the
Senate version, cutting the age to
18, and iron out a large number
Of less controversial differences.

both in profits and the important
factor of selling all parts of q
carcass equally fast.
Butchers are experiencing par
ticular pangs with the beef chuck
problem. Here they have an item,
some parts more desirable than
others, selling for one price. The
result, they say, is that the choice
pieces are purchased rapidly, and
the secondary quality meat re-
mains in the refrigerator.
Formerly, the market charged
7 to 10 cents more per pound
for the choicer part of the chuck,
but now entire commodity goes
at the same price. It's merely
up to the customer to smarter
