committee now reports that "the average
manufacturing employe today can buy as
much round steak and 20 percent more pork
chops with an hours wages than was pos
sible in 1947-48'
The report goes on to say that to-day
the average employee in manufacturing can
buy more of all the important foods at retail
prices with an hours labor than in any
earlier peacetime period such as 1947-4S,
1859 or 1925-29"
And when it comes to other countries
the pound of beef that requires 81 minutes
of the average industrial workers time to
buy in the United States costs workers in
the Netherlands III minutes, in France 126
minutes, in Italy 1913 minutes and in Soviet
Russia 1872 minutes.
Let unthinking commentators chew on
those figures for while.

Hanging On to Sheep

The optimist can find number of en-
couraging signs in the sheep business. He
notes that we are importing nearly rs of our
wool requirements, that our population is
steadily increasing, creating an additional
market for all types of meats and for fibers,
and that labor-saving practices have been
evolved by the industry and are being used
more widely every year.
Sheep producers withstood the sheep
cattle wars, the drouths, depressions, coy
otes and the tariff ups and downs of the
past. Given time they should be able to
weather present day storms.
They may be growing, but many Of
them are hanging tight with an eye to better
times.

N rain-increasing, as in almost every other
4 human activity, you can't please all the
people all Of the time.
In the Yakima valley in Washington an
interesting struggle has been going on be-
tween wheatgrowers who want rain and
fruitgrowers and hay producers who don't
want moisture at this particular time.
The graingrowers hired rain-increasing
organization and told it to get busy and
wiring all the moisture it could out of the
cloud formations.
But the cherry and pear farmers, and
some of the haygrowers, wanted sunshine
and plenty of it. So they hired another set
of rainmakers to overseed the clouds with
silver iodide. Overseeing, in case you are
not up on the theory Of rain-increasing, is
the method that is used to dispense hail
clouds and rain clouds when you want to
reduce or eliminate precipitation
So the cold (cloud) war has been going
full blast down Yakima way. And on the
ground beneath the arguments between rep
resentatives of the opposing groups have
presumably been waxing hot.
According to last reports the drys have
been winning out which was to be expected,
again according to the theory of the rain
increasing meteorologists. Why? Because

Are Food Prices Too High?

CITY people have the feeling that prices
~ of farm products have been far out of
line with other prices in recent years This
impression has been encouraged by propa-
ganda from many sources. Certain big city
newspaper columnists and radio commenta-
tors have been particularly blatant in their
charges about alleged profiteering by farm
ers, as if the producers were responsible for
the prices their products bring in the market
place.
Meat particularly has been singled out
for attack It is true that prices have been
high compared with any prewar normal
But so have prices of everything else. And
so have incomes of the consuming public.

between the wages of industrial workers

Wheat prices will be supported at 80
percent of parity under the old parity for
mula for another two years in legislation
about to be enacted by congress. Similar
treatment will be given to corn, cotton and
peanuts and probably to rice and tobacco.
Under the present law parity would have
been figured according to new formula,
which would have resulted in much lower

wheat the new parity would be about Soc

Protests by Schools Bar
Liquor Permit Applications

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board today refused to issue liquor
licenses to two stores on Georgia
avenue because of protests from
school officials.
Mrs. Gertrude Lewis, proprietor
of Lucky Liquor, 1918 Fourth
street NV, applied for transfer
of her license to 2916 Georgia
avenue. The transfer was pro-
tested by officials of Howard Uni
verSity because some of their
school buildings were near the
proposed store. The board decided
that the proposed site was not an
appropriate place to have a pack
age liquor store.
The board also denied the ap-

a license to sell light wines and
beer for consumption off the
premises at $500 Georgia avenue

Pledged by AFL Leaders
BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK, April 30.-AFL
leaders representing the major
maritime unions have pledged a
cleanup of New York's racket
ridden piers and a guarantee of
internal democracy" to all union
locals.
The program was announced
yesterday at the initial meeting
of the newly formed Brooklyn
Port Council, forerunner of SIM
liar organizations to be set up in
Manhattan, Staten Island and
New Jersey port areas.
At the same time high mari
time union official warned that
any attempt to disrupt the Brook
lyn waterfront over union
squabbles would be fought with
the full force and power" of the
IAFL maritime trades department.
Although Lloyd Gardner of the
lAF'L Seafarers International
Union mentioned no names, it was
apparent the warning was aimed
at Anthony Anastasia, Brooklyn
dock boss.
The union program, agreed to
by about 60 delegates of the lila
and Allied Maritime Unions, in
cluded:
Firing of any dock workers en-
gagged in pilferage. loan sharking
or kickback rackets; the same
treatment to be given manage
ment employees, backed by the

Cut Military Budget
By the Associated Press

Secretary of Defense Lovett told
the Senate today that if it ap-
proves the Sc billion cut the House
made in defense spending for next
year, it would, in effect, be cut
ting off our right arm to save the
cost of one sleeve in our coat"
He said such deep slash in
funds for defense would mean
production losses, or delays, for
at least 5000 modern aircraft,
3.100 medium tanks and scores of
fighting ships and submarines.
Mr.. Lovett was the leadoff wit

dent asked $50 billion.
