TENDER and mid-October. Thus
the relationship between prices
received and prices paid remained
at 80 per cent of parity, a stand
ard for measuring farm prices
declared by law to be fair to
farmers in relation to their costs.
Coming after three consecu-
tive months of price decreases,
the October decline left farm
price levels 2.18 per cent above
a year ago and ga per cent
above last December. However,
prices were about 81 per cent
under the record peak of Febru-
airy, 1851, during the Korean
War.
In its report yesterday. the
department attributed the Oc-
tober drop largely to declines in
the prices of meat ANIMALS, corn,
poultry, eggs and cotton. In
creaSes were reported for dairy
products, some vegetables, cot
tonseed and wheat. But these
were not enough to offset de-
creaSes in other products. U

Federal workers that any such
chain letter or telephone cam
Ipaign on behalf of any political
candidates is a violation of the
Hatch Act and could lead to dis
missal from their jobs.
Earlier, Senator Green. Demo-

to the CSC that Federal work.
Iers in his State were being sub
ljected to the chain letter politi-
cal gimmick. Now, it appears
that Federal employees in the
Washington area are also being
solicited. The best advice to Fed
