Deen consumed
Likewise, the combined market
supply of chicken and turkey meat
was greater than ever before in
1853, but the year ended with only
8.5 million pounds more frozen
poultry in storage than at the be-
ginning. Turkey stocks were ia
million pounds less than a year pre-
vious.
= Meat Supplies
Supplies of red meats with which
eggs and poultry must compete for
Mrs. Consumers grocery money
probably will be smaller in the next
six or eight months than last year,
but may be larger in the closing
months of the year because of
heavy sales of grass cattle and the
upturn now taking place in hog
production.
Consumers probably will have
slightly less grocery money than
in the past year. Lower employ
ment, shorter hours, and a heavier
debt load probably will more than
offset higher average wage rates
and lower taxes on income. The
change will be small, however. De-
tense, building new industrial and
commercial facilities, housing con-
struction, public improvements and
continued high rate of consumer
spending will prevent any drastic
drop in activity. Also, the govern
ment will be quick to use its powers
to shore up any seriously sagging
walls in the economic structure.
More Consumers
The number of consumers is
about 2.6 million more this year.
At average rates of use, that will
take nearly three million cases more
eggs and nearly 100 million pounds,
live weight, more poultry, than last
year.
Eggs are an economical source of
protein food, especially during the
late winter and spring months.
Slightly less favorable times may
even increase the rate of use per
person. Because of high efficiency
in broiler production, chicken meat
once Sunday luxury-is priced
at level comparable with heavy
meats. Consumer demand for it
will remain good.
Hatcheries probably will take
more eggs for production of both
replacement and broiler chicks than
in 1858.
With egg supplies larger and
prices likely to be lower, both shell
egg operators and breakers probably
will put more eggs in storage ir
the next few months than last year
But, those eggs will be for sale ir
late summer and fall, so that they
merely change the distribution o.
the supply during the year.
When the prospective supply ant
demand changes are put on the
scale, they seem likely to tip the
price beam to lower levels this year
That is not certain, of course, RICH
now, egg prices are holding up ex
tremely well. January production
on eggs probably will be about
per cent over year ago and a new
high record for the month, but the,
are being used at prices near tn
same level as year ago. Chickens
broilers and turkeys are slight,

Originally, she had been en-

MOTHER Tells OF EARLY
MORNING NEGRO INTRUDER
52-Year-0Id White Man Indicted
In Memphis For Rape Of
Six-Year-0Id Negro Child
SAY AIRMAN IN BILOXI WILL

Jackson, Miss, Apr. 5.-DSN)
The charge of rape was tops in
the news here this week when a
young mother of three children,
white, told police that she had
been raped by a Negro man who
invaded her room at 3 o'clock Sun
day morning, and two young Negro
men were arrested Monday for
the rape of a 14-year- Negro
girl Saturday night.
While these developments were
taking place in Jackson there were
news reports from Memphis tell
ing of the indictment of a 52-year-
old white man by a grand jury on
the charge of raping a 6-year-old
Negro child.
From Biloxi, Miss, came reports
that Negro airman from Kessler
Field was almost certain to re-
verse the statement attributed to
him by he arresting officers when
the case comes up for trial.
In the case of the young mother
visiting in Jackson she described

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Apr. 5.-Spe-
cial)-The Rev. Roy Love, presi-
dent of the Negro Baptist Pastors
Alliance, last week announced his
candidacy for the Tennessee senate

The announcement by Rev. Love

the first one.
The Baptist minister will be an

decision to be made later since
the investigation had not been en-

Mrs. Moss, accompanied by
Hayes, appeared at the Pentagon
earlier Friday and was taken to

Hayes said that the investigators

Mrs. Moss was suspended after
Mrs. Mary Markward, a former

the suspension was decided upon
before Mrs. Markward testified.
Later, Mrs. Moss appeared be-

that she never had been a com

won the backing of Sens. Stuart

WEST END GOLF CLUB PLANS
Petition FOR RIGHT TO PLAY
ON MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE
Group Cites Fact That Negroes

SAY GROUP HAS BACKING OF
NEGRO VOTERS OF THE CITY

The West-End Golf Club made it
known last week that Negro golf
enthusiasts of Jackson want to

The group, following a meeting
the previous Sunday at the College

city, and through talks by men,
bers of the club in many of the
churches of the city during the

club, which is composed for the

JAMAICA TO PROTEST INSULT
OF NEGRO BY AMERICAN SAILOR

KINGSTON, Jamaica, April g.
Especially - Jamaica Government
has decided to ask the United
States Government for an apology,
because of an astrocity which was
committed in Kingston Harbour
here recently by U. S. sailor.
The sailor insulted the law and
authority of Jamaica, when he
banged a rifle over the head Of a
colored Jamaican policeman who
was posted on duty on the water
front. The outraged sailor who
fired the gun from aboard the
American vessel, also bawled out
two other policemen, saying, you
Niggers, clear way from there"
If the policeman had not duck
ed, the shot would have blasted his
skull open.-
It is believed the incident &C.
Cured as a result Of a ruling made
by the local port authorities, that
sailors should not be allowed to
bring American cigarettes ashore
The policeman involved was there
fore on duty to prevent violation
Of the rule.
Following the incident, the U. S
ship steamed out of port with the
seaman, thus depriving Jamaics
