BEEF CONTROLS
STUDIED HERE

Beef cattle price controls we're
discussed at a meeting of the
Madison County Beef Cattle AS
sociation Wednesday evening,
June 13, according to a report
from the Madison County Exten-
sion Office.
G. w. Hammons and NJ. B.
Evans from the Department of
Rural Economics, Ohio State Uni
versity, discussed how the con-
trolls were brought about and the
way they would effect beef cat
tie raisers, in this county, stating
that ceilings are as follows for the
next few months in Chicago, which
would be some lower in the out
laying marketing centers:

r. @. Smith, Secretary of the
Independent Livestock Marketing
Association discussed this prob
lem from marketing standpoint,
stating that the farmers who
were raising their own feeders
were the ones who could continue
to stay in the beef business, but
those who had to buy steers or
feeders were the ones who were
taking the great risk staying in
the business, because of the close
margin.
There was about 30 minutes of
discussion from farmers attend
ing on this problem. Marion
Meats. the Madison County Di-
rector to the State Beef Organiza-
ton, was chairman Of the meet
ing due to the absence of the

Beat Reds
In 3rd Day
BY oien Clements

TOKYO, JUNE 19lRl- For
the third straight day American
pilots today beat Red airmen in
a big jet battle over northwest
ern Korea.
u. S. Sabre jets damaged four
Russian-type MIGS-15's Tuesday
as Allied infantryman knocked
north Koreans off key ridges on
the eastern battle front. On the
sea fronts United Nations war
ships silenced challenge by ac-
eurate communist shore batteries.
Twenty-seven sabre jets battled
30 Red jets Tuesday In the most
evenly matched of the current air
fights. They ran their three-day
score to six Red jets shot down,
II damaged.
The battle spread over a wide
area around Sonchon, 35 miles
from the Manchurian border. 1t
was the deepest recent penetra-
ton of Korea by Red jets in force.
The Fifth Air Force did not
say, rs it usually does, that all
Sabre jets returned safely from
Tuesdays air battle.
North Koreans opened up with
a terrific artillery barrage i'm an
effort to halt Allied infantrymen
in the east. But u. N. troops drove
ahead two miles in their deepest
penetration Of that front this
year and Strengthened Allied bat
tie lines.
Breaking out in a smashing
pincers movement on an other
wise quiet front they captured
heights looking down on a punch
bowl valley the Reds have used
as a supply and assembly center.
The drive carried Allies within
artillery range of a mountain area
alive with Red activity. A corps
spokesman said the communists
may be building up there for a
new offensive.
Eighty miles to the northwest
communist shore batteries fought
an hour and a half artillery duel
with besieging United Nations
warships.
The shore-to-sea battle erupted
Monday afternoon at Wonsan, east
coast port besieged more than
four months. Accurate Red fire
burst close to u. n. warships and
shrapnel splattered on the decks.
Marine corsair fighter planes
and naval gunfire silenced the
shore batteries.
THE Red guns scored many
near Misses" the Navy said, but
only slight shrapnei punctures
were inflicted on u. N. ships"
American planes swept freely
through a cloudless sky and ham,
mered Reds across North Korea.
Four u. N. planes were shot down
Monday.
u. N. patrols famed out along
the front They met little opposi-
tion Monday except in the CEN
trail sector around Kumhwa, east
ern anchor of the iron triangle.
Tank traps and mine fields were
their greatest problem.
Alp Correspondent Nate Pol
owetzky reported from u. S.
Eighth Army headquarters that
lack of any large scale action
for a week indicated the u. N.
offensive has ended, at least tenn
porarily.
Some behind the-lines troop
movements were noted in the far
west, northwest of Seoul. u. N.
war planes worked over 1000
Reds marching south.
Newest Red concentrations were
reported in the area northwest of
the pnuchbowl. Artillery and
planes hammered troop move
ments in the area.

Emergency Work
On Roads Rapid

The State Highway Depart
ment's emergency program of
frost-damage road repair is rap
idly catching UP with the ravages
of winter. E. L. Shelley, Division
Engineer, State Highway Division
Six, announced that the road re-
pair program is now two-thirds
complete, and that the chuckhole
menace is expected to be COM
pletely whipped within the next
few weeks.
Within the eight counties of Di-
vision Six, of which this county
Is one, a total of 143 miles of
pavement was found to be badly
broken after the spring thaws. AS
soon as weather permitted, main
tenance crews began a heavy
schedule of temporary repairs, de-
signed to keep the roads passable
until permanent repair work could
be awarded TO contractors.
An indication of how quickly
this huge task has been brought
under control is the fact that,
as of June 1, 109 miles had been
patched and made ready for new
surface. New contracts ere now
being let to contractors for sur
facing, in order to finish repairs
before the heaviest volume of
summer traffic sets in. Present in
dications are that the repair of
frost-damaged roads in Division
Six will be practically complete
by July Is.
