Miss Ronnell, a rather wispy

MISS Ronnell, ike other song
writer's, collects clients. The one
she is especially proud of right
now is Hildegarde. She has done
a Beethoven cavalcade in Hide
garde's night club idiom.
Miss Ronnell still is chiefly
identified with "The Big, Bad
Wolf" This she finds generally
pleasing except when she recalls
that that was a long time ago
and that she has written quite
a lot of music since.

Freight and Non-Sked
Air Mail Bids Rejected
BY she Associosed Press

The Civil Aeronautics Board
has turned down a bid by freight
airlines and non-scheduled air
lines to carry mail.
A spokesman for the mon
skeds" promptly charged that
the CAB action was depriving
the public of the full facts which
the Post Office Department seeks
in its current experiments in i'm
proving mail service.
The cargo airlineS and nom
skeds praised a CAB decision OF
December 3 affirming the board's s
power to grant them special
authority to carry mail at COM
pensatory or non-subsidy rates
Scheduled airlines, the only class
now allowed to carry air mail
may do so at subsidy rates if
their cost figures are justifiable
The board decision yesterday
did not contradict the December
3 ruling, but merely meant that
the CAB had decided not to
exercise its newly determined
power at present.

High Hog Prices
To Last Until "a

Hog prices probably will remain
at their present level until the
beginning of 1854, says an extern
sion economist at Ohio State Uni
versity.
Riley S. Dougan says present
favorable hog prices have result
ed because fewer hogs are being
slaughtered. In recent months
about half as many hogs have
been slaughtered each month as
last December the peak month
of 1852.
Slaughtering probably will not
increase until the seasonal change
in August. The economist says,
however, the seasonal increase
probably will be smaller than last
year.
Economists expect a large num-
Der of pigs from fall farrowings.
These pigs will not reach markets
until the first of next year so
downward moves in hog prices are
doubtful until that time. With
slaughter expected to be consider
ably higher, Dougan says hog pri-
ces next spring may be less favor
able than in recent months.
