What happens to the price of
beef from the time a steer leaves
a ranch until you buy choice
cut at your neighborhood store?
Why should it go up, for ex-
ample, from 151a cents a pound
to an average SIS cents or a top
price of $1.09 a pound?
Senator Hunt, Democrat, of
Wyoming, took the question to
the Agriculture Department for
an answer. He asked that, for
illustration, a steer be followed
from a ranch in Wyoming to a
retail market here in Washing
ton, with a breakdown of costs
and prices along the way.
The Departments Bureau of
Agricultural monies re-
sponded with a detailed analysis
of the cost of marketing a TOO
pound feeder steer of good grade
from a ranch in Western Wyom-
ing, using mid October prices.
The study, dated october %,
was made available to reporter
today.
In this example, the Wyoming
rancher sold his steer in the
| Omaha livestock market for
Evening star., 1953-11-04

Chicago has a market value of
$42 for 100 pounds, or AZ cents
a pound. The transportation
charge to Washington is So for
100 pounds, making a delivered
price here of $44.
By the time it goes over the
market counter, it will sell for
SIS cents a pound on the basis of
prices checked at a retail food
chain here. This additional $11
per 100 pounds represents the
margin for retailing, warehousing
and other marketing operations
in Washington.
The market prices ranged
from $1.09 a pound for porter
house steak down to 19 to 20
cents a pound for plate beef
and brisket. Ground beef, short
ribs and shank cuts sold for 80
to IS cents a pound.
The study said the estimated
distribution of the retail price,
on a percentage basis. is retail

per cent; slaughtering, commits

ing costs, 6 per cent; cattle feed

purchase price and other eX-
penses, meant direct costs to the
feeder of $238.80.
BY selling the steer for $285 go
u,200 pounds at 25H2 cents a
pound) the feeder made a net
return of $46.80.
(The study noted that, if the
feeder had bought the steer in
Omaho eight months earlier, he
would have paid $20.50 for 100
pounds, lowering his estimated
net return on the animal to
$4,000
What about the packer who
bought the steer at $3.50 for 100
pounds?
The packer dressed out the
steer as a 600-700 pound beef
carcass, worth $42 for 100
pounds. With this carcass yield
the study figured the price was
equivalent in live weight to
24.8 cents a pound.
This is 70 cents less on
100 pounds than the packer
paid for the steer, but the value
of the by-products of the animal,
such as hides and tallow, was
listed as $3.50 for 100 pounds,
leaving the packer $1.60 to the
good.

$1.65 for 100 pounds ($1,35 for
transportation and 80 cents for

The steer was bought by a
cattle feeder in Western Iowa.
He fattened the animal for 24O

sold it to a Chicago packer at

What costs did the cattle
feeder have? First he trucked
the steer from Omaha to his
feed lot in Iowa. That cost
him IS cents for 100 pounds. To
haul the steer to the Chicago
market cost him 95 cents for
100 pounds. and in Chicago he
had yardage and other costs
amounting to 80 cents for 100

Refuses to Soy
If He Gave Rudur
Secrets to Reds
By Cecil HoIIond
Stor Stoff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Senator
Mccarthy reported today that a
Harvard physics professor has
refused to tell the Senate InveS-
tigations subcommittee whether
, he has ever turned over this
country's radar secrets to Com
munist espionage agents.
The Wisconsin Republican
made the statement after the
professor had been questioned
for more than an hour this
morning in the Subcommittee's
investigation of suspected espio-
mage at the Army's Fort Mon
mouth IN. J.) radar laboratories.
Senator Mccarthy did not
identify the professor in giving
a report on the closed hearing.
But he said only one witness has
been heard and reporters saw
Wendell H. Furry, a Harvard
professor, enter the hearing
room accompanied by a New
York attorney.
Silent at Other Inquiries.
Prof. Furry has been a wit
ness in the past before the House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities and refused to answer
many questions on the ground
of possible Standardization.
Senator Mccarthy said the
witness pleads the same grounds
in refusing to say whether he
had turned over radar secrets
to the Communists.
The witness, according to Sem
ator Mccarthy, denied that he
was a Communist now. Senator
Mccarthy said he was asked if
he had been a Communist on
March l, 1851, and replied that
he had not. The Senator said
the witness refused to say
whether he had been a Com
munist on February %, 1851.
There was no explanation for the
different dates except that Sen
ator Mccarthy said the questions
were asked to pin down the wit
ness to specific times.
Senator Mccarthy said the
witness worked on radar for the
Government from 1943 to 1945
while at the Massachusetts, In
stitute of Technology. He added
that the professor had been en-
gagged in teaching physics and
doing research in radar while
at Harvard"
