Meat Price War Is On In Oregon City One Butcher Ships Hamburger 'Free' St. Helens, Ore., Jan. 29—(UP) The St. Helens meat price war took on a national aspect today when a butcher shipped free hamburger, prepaid and packed in dry ice, to mail order customers throughout the nation. The price-slashing contest, which started in this Columbia river industrial city of 5.20 CF three weeks ago, has attracted bargain hunters throughout the Pacific northwest. The town was still talking about butcher Jack Sappington, who gave customers 10 cents each to carry away 35 hams in three-slice portions. The 10 cents, he said, was intended as payment to the customer for taking the ham away. He recommended that the money be turned over to the march of dimes. The “war” started without fanfare when two partners, Norman Raymond and Ernest Peterson, opened a new store called the “Rite Price Market.” They jolted their competitors with a starting price of 35 cents a pound for hamburger. One by one the other butchers slashed their prices. Hamburger took the heaviest gouge. When one dealer cut the price to 29 cents, butcher Roy Harrington announced he would give it away. “It made just as much sense to hand out hamburger free as to sell it for 29 cents,” Harrington said. The response was electric. A man from Big Rapids. Mich., wrote: “I would say you can furnish me with a pound at your earliest convenience.” A Long Beach, Cal., correspondent said: “I am writing you for a pound of power to you.” “I am going to answer each letter I get, personally,” said Harrington, exhibiting a pile of correspondence on top of his meat display case. “I’ll tell them what a nice little town we’ve got here. Then I’ll send a pound of hamburger in dry ice, charges prepaid, to every person who wrote to me. But after today, the offer is cancelled.” Prices on most beef and pork cuts were down 20 to 30 cents below normal. At the chain Safeway, which advertised it would meet any competitive price in town, topgrade ground beef sold for 29 cents, down from 45. The rite price market offered pork roast at 45 cents. Bacon went for 59 cents throughout St. Helens. A man in St. Louis, Mo., tele-

graphed Sappington for SSO worth of “free meat” with the understanding he would give the money he saved to the march of dimes. Sappington, who hadn’t been able to take time for lunch for five consecutive days, summed up his attitude: “The animals we’re cutting up have more sense than we do.” 0 Advises Against Planting Os Elms Indianapolis, Jan. 29 —(Special) — Don’t plant American elrne, is the advice of Indiana department of conservation officials. Failure to eliminate the deadly Dutch elm disease has generated the belief of Frank Wallace, state entomologist, that the stately, popular American elm tree is doomed. Wallace said this opinion is shared by federal officials. Although many of these trees may thrive in Indiana for several years, Wallace predicted that the American elm eventually will go out like the American chestnut tree which practically has become extinct in Indiana. The Dutch elm disease, said to have been brought to the United States on logs shipped in from England, first was discovered in Indiana in 1934. This disease now is more prevalent in Indianapolis and vicinity, but it gradually is moving over the entire state.
