Woman Is Killed In Plunge From Hotel Cincinnati Woman Killed In Chicago Chicago, Feb. 20 — (UP) — A beautiful brunette resident of a Cincinnati suburb was killed instantly today in a plunge from the eighth floor of the Sherman hotel in the Chicago loop. She was Mrs. Vera Frances Telford, 25. of (1937 Waverly St.) Norwalk, 0., a former waitress and tavern hostese who was presently unemployed. Police learned that she was the mother of a five year old boy. They were attempting to learn whether she leaped from the room in a suicide attempt. Her body, clad only in a housecoat, missed the hotel’s marquee and landed only a few feet from the main entrance on Clark street. She was killed instantly. Police learned that she jumped or fell from room 810 which, with room 809, was registered to Joseph H. Petrie, 43, of (2400 Montana Ave.) Cincinnati, part-owner of a plywood firm there. Petrie, who is married, said he met .Mrs. Telford yesterday morning in the Union terminal at Cincinnati as he was preparing to board a train for here. He said the meeting occurred by accident and had not been pre-ar-ranged. He said he met Mrs. Telford three years ago in a restaurant where she had worked as a waitress. He said he had met her casually from time to time since then. Petrie said they came to Chicago on the New York Central’s James Whitcomb Riley. They arrived about 12:50 p.m. and went immediately to the hotel where Petrie had reservations. o— — By flying, it now takes nearly 16 days less time to get from the United States to the Orient than it took in 1940 by ship.

Clark, in Little Rock, Ark.: “for the south, for the nation, for the world —the Democratic party is the party of hope. It is the only one to which America’s millions can look with assurance.” Secretary of treasury John W. Snyder, in Newark, N. J.: "the present business activity is a tribute to the vitality of the American system of free enterprise. But it is also the product of wise policy and prudent management on the part of this administration under the leadership of President Harry S. Truman. 0 — MORE PRICES (Continued from Page 1) prices will descend still further. At Boston, one big food chain reported that instead of an anticipated boom in business last week, sales were 2-% percent below the previous week. In New York, the price average of 45 basic food items was 6.3 percent higher today than it was a year ago. But the price of the same 45 items last week was 13 percent higher than a year ago. The basic foods included milk, sugar, butter, eggs, bread and various cuts of meat. On the Chicago board of trade today, wheat and corn opened weaker. Only oats for future delivery gained slightly in price. Wheat was off 1 to 2-% cents a bushel and corn was unchanged to 1 cent per bushel lower. At Chicago’s big stockyards, opening hog prices were steady to 25 cents per hundred pounds higher than yesterday. The biggest retail price cut today was on butter. Some Chicago chain stores lowered the price of one grade from 88 cents a pound to 82 cents. The

manager of the chain said the reduction would apply to til the chain’s stores in northern Illinois. One of Milwaukee’s leading dairies lowered its butter prices as much as five cents a pound and other dairies indicated they would follow suit. They said that consumers virtually stopped buying butter at the previous prices. Other reasons for the reduction were cheaper feed for cows, declining prices in butter substitutes, hnd heavier milk production due to milder temperatures. The labor department at Washington announced that average wholesale prices for about 900 basic commodities dropped 2.5 percent last week, the sharpest break since September, 1946. The department said that farm products showed the biggest break, dipping 7.5 percent in the sevenday period. Patsy D’Agostino, president of the National Association of Retail Grocers, said that a telegraph survey of the nation’s independent food stores showed that prices of nearly all foods continued a downward trend begun last week. In a few cities, the price of eggs and pork chops remained steady but the majority of reports showed a drop, he said. 0 Apples, $2.99 basket.

How Many of Us STOP TO THINK of the 1001 everyday advantages of our American way of life, blessings to which we are so accustomed that we take them for granted. Mindful of our responsibilities to the people of other lands, we need to exercise prayerful vigilance in the protection of our own liberties.
