Food Price Survey Indicates Lower Prices This Year

According to the quarterly food price survey conducted by the Alaska Agricultural Experi- ment Station a basket" of gro- ceries containing the same amounts of 25 comparable foods cost Seattle consumers $10.18. The survey shows a basket" containing those same items would retail for $1425 in Palmer
 Other cities in Alaska would pay the following amounts for the same selection: Ketchikan, $12.85; Juneau, $12.68; Sitka, $13.48; Anchorage, $14.70, and Fairbanks, $15.93.
 Retail food prices in the Ter ritory in 1856 are likely to be slightly less than during 1855, the report states. Supplies are. ex- pected to be. larger in 1856 than in 1855 when prices averaged two percent below 1854. Alaskan food prices follow Seattle and stateside trends and are expected to decline slightly. However. the report shows, total food expendi lures will be up slightly from the past year due to small in- crease in total consumption and increased buying of the higher priced foods. The shift to more processing, packaging and ser- vices purchased with foods will continue. This also will increase total expenditures, it was pointed out.
 The U. s. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, pub fishes monthly the prices of more than 30 major food items in 20 major U. s. Cities. Forty similar items are priced in six Alaskan cities. Twenty five of these items from each city are compared with similar units of 25 items priced in Seattle stores the pre- vious month. Volunteer enunera- tors and three to six retail mer- chants, in each Alaska city sur veyed, collect these prices for Ex- pertinent Station analysis and re- porting.
 Retail food prices for Seattle are about two percent higher than the average for 20 major us. cities. Stateside consumers are now spending $412 per person each year for food according to recent reports. In March these prices for Alaskan cities were 137 percent of Seattle. Using this method of comparison, the re port shows that Alaskans are spending an average of $564 an | nually per person. This indicates

The latest fiare-up was touched
of Wednesday night by indorse-

The action, by a 40-to-10
vote, drew immediate reaction
from supporters of Representa-
tive Landlord, Democrat, the
man Mr.. Sothoron hopes to un-
seat.
Charges UndemOcratic Tactics
A spokesman for the county's

Such a charge was made last
week by w. Earl Griffin. chair
man of the Landlord committee.
and he repeated it yesterday.
"They (the State Central
Committee) do not put the
question up in a fair manner"
he asserted. Instead of asking
DO you prefer Landlord or
Sothoron?' they ask only, Are
you for or against Sothoron?'"
The councils vote, taken at a
meeting at the Cheverly Ameri-
can Legion Club, with Mr..
Sothoron among those present,
was a reversal of the councils
stand in 1854, when it supported
the candidacy Of Mr.. Landlord.
Groups Stand Defended
Meanwhile, one organization
which the county Landlord
forces said has refused to bow
to the central committees edict, :"
by preventing the Endorsement
from coming to a vote. defended
its stand as contrary to the
clubs purpose.
"This club holds inviolate al
