State Wiretap Probe
Due After New York
Indictments in Raid
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Feb. 22.-Recent
discovery of a wiretap center
operated in a Manhattan apart
ment has brought grand jury
indictments against three men
and proposals for a State wire
tap probe
In announcing the indict-
ments yesterday District Attor-
ney Frank, S. Hogan SAID it is
still too early" to say what the
Manhattan wiretap setup was
all about.
Although police raided the
East Side apartment February
IL, Mr.. Hogan said he did not
learn of it until February II,
when the New York City Anti
Crime Committee. a private
agency. called attention to it.
Mr.. Hogan criticized the COM
mittee for failing to tell him
about the wiretap discovery
earlier. If they had given us
the information we might be
much further along in this inves-
tigatlon,' he said.
Legislature Starts Probe.
In Albany Republican legisla-
tive leaders found the wiretap
reports disturbing enough to
warrant a full-scale investiga-
ton by a joint legislative COM
mittee Assemblyman Oswald

In criticizing the anti-crime

Mr.. Hogan said the raid was

went no further. however, when
raiding policemen reported back
to their superiors that the tele-
phone company did not want to
make complaint.
Indicted yesterday were two
telephone company employees,
Carl r. Ruh, 80. of the Bronx,
and Walter Asmann, 20, of ia
maica, Queens. The third man
was Warren B. Shannon, 80, of
Manhattan, whose apartment
allegedly served as the wiretap
listening center.
The indictment accused all

Consumer Preferences Vary
For Grades, Weights of Beef

The sectional demands and prefer.
ences for various grades. cuts and
weights are well known in the packing
trade, but nc specific data had been
gathered on the subject. Tn an effort
to get clearer picture of the exact
market requirements, one of the lead
ing meat packers conducted survey
among its sales managers in $50 mar
kets across the country, asking them
to describe an ideal supply of beef for
their territory
In the eight-state Rocky Mountain
region it was found that prime beef
represents 2 per cent of the sales;
choice, 40 per cent; good, % per cent,
and commercial and utility. each Is per
cent. In the Denver area distributors
would like to have per cent of car
cases they receive weigh under 400
pounds, so per cent at 4O1 to 500 pounds,
S5 per cent at sol to 500 pounds, and
10 per cent OF the carcasses weighing
over 600 pounds. In Spokane the pref
erence is for slightly less choice beef
and more commercial, but otherwise,
the preference pattern is similar to
Denver's. Phoenix can move a larger
quantity of quality beef.

ANY GRADE, weight or cut of beef
can be sold However, the preference
for various grades differs widely In
market centers throughout the country.
Prime and choice grades may sell bet
ter In one section of the country be-
cause of custom, economic levels, and
taste preference, while good and COM
merciaI quality may hold the edge in
other areas. r. is the job of the meat
packer to supply each market area
with an assortment of grades and
weights that meet the particular de-
mand
Because the packer can never buy
the exact assortment he wants from
weeks cattle receipts, these differing
demands canrot always be met Some
grades and weights may be scarce at
livestock markets, while others may
be in over supply When these situa-
tions occur, adjustments are made to
give each territory an assortment which
comes close to filling the market re-
quirements.
Meat retailers know they can sell
any grade or cut of meat-at a price.
When meat supplies are fairly uniform,
beef prices are usually quite stable and
fluctuations are reflected throughout
all grades. However, an Over-supply or
under-supply OF any particular grade
will be reflected in abnormal price
rises and dips.

1855 crop probably does not differ much
from last year.
Range Conditions Good
Slaughter lamb supplies through
November, the rest of the grass lamb
season, will depend partly on weather
over the range area and on demand
for feeder lambs. AT present, range
feed conditions are distinctly better
than year ego. The proportion of the
range crop tat will be in slaughter flesh
probably viii he higher than las: year.
However, botn the CornbeIt and irri-
gated districts will have more grain
and may take more of the crop for feed
ing than last year. If more eve lambs
are held bach to increase flocks, the
effect on market receipts IS likely to
be most noticeable in the next few
months
Prices in the last few months have
averaged lower than last year Cur
rently, they are about the same as
year-ago levels. Any further seasonal
decline probably will be no greater
than occurred in 1854, SO that prices
are likely to hold near those of last fall
Besides prices received at the mar
ket, producers will receive from the
government a wool incentive payment
on full-wooled lambs and yearlings sold
for slaughter This payment per cwt.
of lamb will be four times the average
payment per pound of shorn wool. The
average prices received by growers
thus far for wool suggest that this pay
ment on lambs will be so TO 65 cents
cwt.
Currently. demand for ferders does
not appear to be particularly brisk.
However, prices for feeders at markets
where comparisons are available are
mostly about 81 higher than year ago,
while fat lamb prices show little change.
The higher prices for feeders probably
are partly due to passing back of the
wool incentive payment from the fin
Usher to the grower.

LAMB PRODUCERS probably viii
do as well in the year ahead as in
the past year, but times may be tougher
for lamb finishers. That's the way il
looks from this coming tower.
Lamb production remains relatively
low compared with former years. This
years crop is l per cent smaller than
last years per cent below the 1944-53
average and 81 per cent below the peak
in 1912. With the growth of population,
the supply of lamb and mutton per per-
son this year will be only about AS
pounds, or third less than the aver
age from 1880 to 1916. However, con-
sumner demand for lamb as against
other meats appears to be weaker than
several years ago.
Consumers incomes probably will
stay up in fhe year ahead, but meat
counters will he piled higher with pork
and possibly beef and veal than in the
past year. High consumption of lamb
is limited to few nationalitles in our
population and small areas along the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Although
the supply of lamb is small compared
with 10 to 20 years ago, it appears to
be adequate for markets showing an
Independent demand for lamb Hence,
in spite of comparative scarcity, lamb
prices stay sairly closely in line with
other meats.

be helpful to divide the year ahead
into (a) the rest of the grass lamb
season. CD The fed lamb season and
(c) the spring lamb season next year.
Lamb slaughter since May when
spring lambs began moving freely has
been about per cent larger than last
year. Part of the increase may have
been due to larger carryover of fed
lambs and part to earlier Landing to
take ADVANTAGE of the higher prices
that usually prevail in spring and early
summer. Since early July slaughter
has been to 10 per cent less than in
1854. The number of lambs left from the
