LAMBS-Prices will fluctuate on

lambs will run down in the next

lambs are selling about So a cwt.

but are 81 to $3.50 below "springers'

1t will be well to sell all the spring
lambs you can bring up to good
weight by July /. Sell Gull ewes

WOOL-Prices will be we'll sus-
tanned through the new clip main
marketing season. Light stocks on
hand, strength in foreign markets
and government loans will prevent
a price decline. Mill usage in Janu-
airy was about third lower than
year previous, but, on an annual
basis it still was nearly double the
rate of domestic production of wool.
Cloth sales have continued slow
for months. Any change is likely to
be for the better. Offerings in for
eign primary markets are tapering
off, demand is active and prices have
been firm to higher. Prices abroad
are too high to put pressure on do
nestle markets. Prospects for pro-
duction payment to growers still APP

sharply and may have passed the

THE DROP IN employment and
wage and salary payments is be-
coming more noticeable at retail food
and clothing counters. Consumer
spending for food, beverages and
clothing reached an estimated rec
ord annual rate of 1854 billions in
the second quarter of 1858, dropped
to $685. billions in the fourth quar-
ter and is still lower now. Of each
dollar spent by consumers for these
products, farmers are getting
smaller share than year ago.
While nothing is in sight to re-
store the boom conditions of last
year, a severe slump is still con-
sidered unlikely. The government
probably will put counter measures
into effect later on, if they are
deemed necessary to prevent sharp
downward spiral
CATTLE-Prices are likely to con-
tinue rather narrow fluctuations in
the next two months. Supplies of
the upper grades won't increase as
much and marketing of low grades
won't decline as much as usual dur
ing the spring.
Feeder cattle prices probably will
hold up well until midsummer, but
stock cattle prices will depend great
ly on weather. Cattle are. being
moved to the Cornbelt from pastures
damaged by drought and dust
storms, but lack of stock water holds
up leasing of important summer pas
lures in the Southwest. Unless good
rains come soon, lower prices may
be necessary in late spring to sell
cattle needing a new home.
HOGS-Prices may dip slightly in
the next few weeks, but will have
moderate rise into summer, then
drop very sharply by early winter.
The 1858 fall pig crop will be sold
freely in late April and early May.
But receipts will drop substantially
by July. With storage stocks of pork
one-third below average, hog prices
will work higher by midsummer
Then, spring pigs will start coming
to market earlier than ever. The
August October supply will be much
larger than last year.
1t will pay to put little more
weight on remaining fall pigs while
the hog-corn ratio is high. But spring
pigs should be crowded for market
as early as possible. If you buy
breeding stock, better figure on much
smaller profits from the next fall pig
crop.

CI0 Loses Third Attempt
To Dust UE al Erie
BY the Assoeiofed Press

ERIE, Pa, Dec. 15.--The CLIO
International Union of Electrical
Workers has failed for the third
time in four years to GUST the
United Electrical Workers inde-
pendent union as bargaining
agent for employees at the Cen
eral Electric Co. plant.
In a National Labor Relations
Board election yesterday, the UE
received 3.847 votes and the CIO-
IUE got 2,794. The plant en-
ploys 5000 workers.
The UE. which has represented
the plant workers since 1912, was
expelled from the CIO for al
legged left-wing activities in 1850.
The CIO-IUE's other attempts
to oust the UE. from the Erie
plant took place in 1850 and
1852.

Area Veterans Push
Plans With BroyhilI
For VA Hospital

A concerted effort Nto push a
long sought veterans hospital in
this area through Congress is
being mapped by Washington
area veterans groups and Repre-
sentative Broyhill, 10th Virginia
District Republican.
Representatives Of veterans
organizations met with Mr..
Broyhill yesterday to form a
committee to lead the fight for
the hospital, which has been in
the wind since 1945. Waldron
E. Leonard, chairman Of the
District Council Of Veterans
Organization, was appointed
chairman.
Mr.. Broyhill said hospital
facilities in the Washington area
for the veteran are far behind
those in the rest of the Nation.
1T seems generally agreed, !"
Mr.. Broyhill said, "the hospital
Is needed"
Asks Concerted Effort.
He added that he had "un-
official" information the Vet
Grams Administration has re-
quested the hospital in the fiscal
1856 budget. He said he be-
lieyes that, if money is not ap-
propriated by Congress this year
for the hospital, sit will never
be- He appealed to the vet
erans' groups to make a con-
certed effort toward passage Of
an appropriation for the hospital
already authorized by Con-
gress in 1916.
Originally. the site for the
hospital was the Nevius tract in
Arlington, where the Two Jima
memorial now stands. Then, five
years ago, 130 acres were de-
clared surplus on the Soldiers
Home grounds. The Washington
Hospital Center will occupy Al
of them. The rest of the land has
been assigned to the VA for a
hospital and an administrative
Office building.
Indecision Indicated.
It was indicated at yesterdays
meeting, however, that the site
for the VA hospital is still un-
decided. The Soldiers Home
grounds would be considered as
being in a target area" Civil De-
Tense authorities have requested
that hospitals in target areas be
atomic bomb-proof--a condition
described at yesterdays meeting
as one that has delayed the
building because Of the added
construction cost.
Mr.. Broyhill urged those at
tending the group to push for an
appropriation now and to take
up. the matter Of location later.
It was also undecided whether
the hospital should be built for
SOC or 750 beds.
Mount Alto Dangerous"
Chester A. Naumowicz, former
director Of the VA regional Office.
said Mount Alto. the Districts
300-hed hospital, is out-dated to
the extent of being dangerous.
Mr.. Naumowicz said that, as of
last October 81. there were 7,110
World War I veterans. $4,000
World War II veterans. 1880
Korean veterans and 4,225
"peacetime" veterans in the
Washington area. He said there
were $4,000 veterans with serv-
Ice connected disabilities last
year In this area.

teal as far as the utilization of
manpower is concerned.
Getting the most out of our ma
TONS manpower is an absolute
must in lieu of the fact that our
probable enemies have four or
five times the population America
has.
Capt Duncan admits quite
frankly, that if the army hadn t
begun its program of Indignation,
he would have cut his career short
in the armed services.
The captain is typical Of the
higher caliber of Negroes who
are attracted to the services as
"A career. since Indignation be-
came the rule.
During World War II II was
generally recognized that morale
among the Negro troops wasn't
nearly as high as that of the white
troops. This was attributed to the
fact that they were serving in all
Negro units.
While it's true there were more
Negro officers in the services dur
ing World War II than at any
other time in its history. they usu.
ally only commanded Negro men
and in many instances they were
put in the position of executing
orders that made them parties to
rank discrimination.
As a result of these unpIeas-
ant experiences, a large percent
age Of these officers were quite
bitter and wanted to get out as
soon as possible.
After indignation got under way
there was a marked improvement
in the attitude and morale of Ne.
gro troops.
Capt. Duncan said that he was
certain that he wouldn't have his
present assignment Of provost
marshall for this area IL it hadn',
been for indignation.
Prior to the program of inte'
grafton about the best he would
have been able TO command would
have probably been an all-Negrc
detachment.
He went on TO say that he feel:
rather certain his next promo
ton or assignment will be based
on merit rather than the way il
was before the army took on the
new look" when promotions and
asSg nments Of Negroes were
made depending on whether or not
there were any vacancies in tht
Negro units And in too many in
stances color was the only factor
that was taken under considsra'
ton

reserved and well poised man whs
