Aged Man Is Found Slain In Cottage Alexandria, Ind., Oct. 6 —(UP) —Authorities today sought the slayer of a 76-year-old county pensioner whose body was found in his cottage here yesterday. Police said the only motive they Jiad to the slaying of Thomas Hill was that of robbery. They said a pension check which Hill reportedly received last week was missing from his belongings. Hill’s body, which showed 11 stab wounds about face and head, was found by passersby who told police they wanted to buy apples from him. When nobody answered the door, they looked through a window and saw the blood-spatter-ed body on a bed, they said. ■ r O INDIANAPOLIS LIVESTOCK Indianapolis, Oct. 6. —(UP) — IPMA) —Livestock: Hogs 8,500; rather slow, generally steady; good and choice barrows and gilts 225-275 lbs. 29.50; 170225 lbs. and 275-400 lbs 28.75-29.25; 160-170 lbs 28.50; 100-160 lbs 25.2526.50; sows largely 26.00-27.50.

GRAIN PRICES (Continued from Pmre 1) egg institute, was “very disturbed” by requests to eat less poultry, and believed the president should have recommended that poultry replace meat. He also pointed out that “Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s day, when nearly everyone wants turkey or other poultry, fail on Thursday, the day the president asked that no poultry be eaten.” J. O. McClintock, president of the Chicago board of trade, said he would comment on the president’s demand for increased grain trading margins after conferring with the exchange officials. The American meat institute, speaking for the pacfkers, said the industry “seriously questions whether ’meatless days', or ‘eggless days’, or ‘poultryless days’ would correct the situation. “The current problem — and the problems of the future —must be solved at the farm level where grains and livestock are produced,” the institute said. The institute said it felt that “meat, could be provided for American consumers now and in the years ahead and at the same time bread grains can be made available for feeding hungry people overseas.” “Os course, we shall do all we can to help the president’s announced ideas,” the institute said. Jack Kranis. president of the national meat industry council, representing the wholesale butchers, said the council opposed meatless days on the ground that it might lead to heavier meat consumption.

He suggested a return to price controls. He said many families, through the use of fish, poultry and vegetable dinners, already were eating meat on fewer than five days a week. Two meatless days would tend to standardize five days of meat eating, he said. "We nave more cattle on the ranges than ever before,” he said. ‘ What is needed now is an artificial means of forcing them into the nation’s markets. Government. price controls and the power to requisition cattle would do the trick.” RHEUMATISM Neuritis, Arthritis, Periodic Pains, Neuralgia, Lumbago, all Aches and Pains are quickly relieved with Alt's Compound W.
