Digest Of august Business Review
'.New Era in Eating"

cooking units are smaller now.
This raises the per person cost OF
food for it is more efficient to shop
and cook for larger numbers.
More entertaining at home, out
door cooking and greater interest
in gourmet foods are other fore
es tending to raise the nations
grocery bill.
Americans have made broad
changes in their diets They are
eating more red meat, poultry and
dairy products, less starches and
cereals than they did in 1889. The
changes in modern menus are
partly due to rising incomes and
partly to increased concern about
nutrition and staying slim.
One result of these new trends /:
the consumer is now spending
somewhat more of each dollar for
food than he did in the early 1905.
Many economists are surprised.
They figured that a necessity like
food would be a relatively bigger
budget item in the depths of the
depression that it is today.
The Bank believes that the new
era in eating is far from over. Fu-
ture increases in income and popu-
lation should sustain food spend
ing and other factors should pro-
vide extra impetus. Expected
changes in the population mix will
add to food demand. BY 1865 the
percentage of heavy-eating teen
ayers will increase while the rela-
tive Importance of the light-eating
age group, 0-10 years, will decrease.
The swing to convenience foods
with built-in services is likely to
continue. Housewives are not at
all anxious to reassume the chores
of preparing food-they've shown
that in the recessionTthe article
claims. In addition, the food in
dustry is readying attractive new
services such as radiation-steriii-
zation which permits preservation
without freezing.
This continued popularity Of
services could well act as a high
level floor for food prices, the ar
ticle concludes. Seasonal factors
will continue to be important but
don't look for any broad, long-run
price decline in food.
Milford chronicle., 1958-08-29

We are in a new era in eating,
says the Federal Reserve Bank of
Philadelphia. Consumers h aye e
formed strong new cooking and die
tary habits in the postwar period.
Food shopping and spending pat
terms have changed and the
changes have withstood the recent
recession.
Retail food sales, the Bank points
out, have trended upward since the
recession began in spite of de-
cline in personal income. Rising
prices are responsible for some,
but by no means, all of the sales
increase.
The twenty-year history of food
prices is one of the topics discuss
ed in the Banks August Business
Review. The pushes behind prices
become clearer if one understands
foods "split personality" y"-nourish-
ment and marketing services-ex-
plains the article.
During World War III the de-
mand for food as nourishment
scared and this caused a substan-
bAdA pilCc IlSC. III Tic years lOl-
lowing the war, however, increas-
ed demand for services was a ma
jor price infiator.
The postwar housewife became
dollar rich and minute poor. Sub
urban living and her growing
brood left her little time to enjoy
her increased income.
The food industry offered her a
helping hand. 1t brought out many
more convenience foods with So
called "built-in" maid service.
Many steps in preparation and
cooking, formerly performed at
home, were done in the factory.
With an assist from appliances
women were able to slash four
hours from the time they had to
spend in the kitchen.
But these time-saving services
weren't free. Their cost, in many
cases, were added to retail prices.
The "affluent" postwar consumer
has, however, been willing and able
to pay.
Other factors have affected the
demand for, and the cost of food,
according to the Bank. In spite of
record birth rates, households or

Byrd to Reconsider

Senator Byrd would reconsider
swelled a growing list Of in
fluential pleas for the veteran
Virginia political leader to
change his mind and announce
once more for election.
The Virginia General As
sembly, which adopted reso-
luton specifically asking Sena-
tor Byrd to reconsider, expects
to get his answer some time
this week.
If Senator Byrd sticks to his
decision, Senator Kerr would
assume command of the Sen
ate Finance Committee. placing
that powerful body under the
rule of one with more liberal
financial views than Senator
Byrd.
But Senator Kerr minimized
his differences with Senator
Byrd.
Anybody who says Senator
Byrd and I are at opposite poles
is grossly exaggerating the diff
ference" he declared. Actual
ly, Senator Byrd and I vote to-
gether much of the time. He
and I have been working shoul-

RICHMOND. Feb. 24.-Sen-

homa, today said he hoped
Senator Byrd. Democrat of
Virginia. would return to the
Senate.
The Oklahoma Democrat,
who is next in line to succeed
Senator Byrd as Chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee,
declared:
II would hope circumstances
were such as to enable Senator
Byrd to feel he would be justi-
fed in returning to the Senate. -
Senator Kerr was in Rich
mond today to attend a live
stock sale. His comment came
when he was asked his views
on Senator Byrd's decision to
retire.
He is one of the great men
in the Senate" Senator Kerr
said. of the Virginia Democrat
with whom he often has dis
agreed on fiscal affairs.
HE is a watchdog of the
Treasury, and I deeply regretted
to see his decision to retire"

His amendment does several
things. 1t requires the regis
trsr 10 furnish applicants
copies of the registration sec
ton Of the Constitution. and
specifically states that this
may be used by the applicant
while making application for
registration"
The Senate version specifi-
cally states that no such writ
ten or printed material given
him tthe applicanD by the
registrar shall be used or re-
ferred to by the applicant
while making his registration"
This whole sentence would
be deleted by Mr., Wheatley's
amendment. which states that,
in addition to the ConStitu-
ton. mo other written or
printed material shall be used
by the applicant while making
application for registration"
Mr.. Wheatley'S amendment
also would delete a section OF
the original bill which allows
any qualified voter TO bring
suit against an electoral board
if it refused to remove a reg
istrar or assistant registrar
who violates the blank paper
bill. Left intact, however. is
language in the original bill
which states that registrars
who violate the new bill may
be removed from ONCE.

Drop Sales Tax Plan

emerged briefly last Friday

mittee was sped on its way to-
ward a quick death today.
In the face Of q probable
gubernatorial veto, the chief
patrons Of the bill-State Sen
ators Charles r. Fenwick and
Harry c. Stuart-decided not TO
push any longer for its enact
ment.
Their decision will allow the
bill to die In the Finance Com
mittee, where there has been no
great enthusiasm for 1t even
through the group reported II
to the Senate floor Friday.
A few minutes after report
ing the bill, the committee dis
covered that its vote violated
Senate rules because it was
taken after the Senate had adj
journed for the day. The bill
promptly was re-referred to the
committee.
Senators Fenwick and Stuart
had predicted that the bill
would pass both the House and
