DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA >

G/>/ Offers Her Pet Monkey For Civilian Defense There’s dne thing certain about the Adams county civilian defense program: as far as one 12-y ear-old Decaturue is concerned, officials had better get down to business . . . and monkey business at that. For Miss Beverly Ann Singer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dowell Singer, of 821 Dierkes street, has offered to Adams\ county civilian defense moguls the services of her pet monkey which she received from an importer friend of her father’s about three weeks ago., ' Indeed, it was the father who notified the Democrat of the need for such volunteers. “I’ll even train the monkey as an airplane spotter for the defense effort,” he said, He that the monkey could be trained to climb a TV tower and give the alert should a/ raid occur. I All of it started, surely enough, when the Democrat ran a story last Thursday decrying the lack of volunteers for .civilian defense. In closing, the story mentioned —possibly with tongue in cheek — that a farmer living southeast of Berne had his horse and buggy in readiness for any future alarms. The horse was goißg to be given his “wings." "-' : |, The Singers felt \that Decdtur should likewise contribute as greatas possible That is the reason they \ have offered the services of their pet monkey. They claim the animal is "keenly alert,” and easily trained. Consequently it will be an ideal solution to airplane spotting and alarming the'community. Especially the latter. The monkey at large, while harmless, could probably prove the flpest antidote to air raids. It would have so many persons upset that it would take their minds off such things, as say, mere bombs. Yet, the monkey is now a household fixture at the Singers. It jis friendly, admittedly, like a mopse is, friendly, and women will jump on chairs and scream at the sight of it. Some say it would be atavistic to employ the monkey, others say it would be prudent. Still others: — noting that it is alert and easily trained —say It would be highly embarrassing to most of mankind. Well, the monkey will wrap his tail around a flagpole, peer staunchly into the sky, and chatter lustily at the sight of enemy planes. It has been termed already the most unique thiiig in the history of civilian defense, or of air raids . . . or of monk eyd.

Report Beef Moves Into Black Markets Report Is Issued By Meat Institute Chicago, Aug. 7 — (UP) — The American Meat Institute indicated today that a quarter billion pounds of meat have been channeled into markets in the nine weeks of federal price restrictions. It said 266,000,000 pounds of beef have been lost to distribution channels and; "most of it was. the result of syphoning cattle to other than normal channels.” The institute said the floods which closed the Kansas City stockyards had little effect on the overall meat >supply, because cattle win diverted to other livestock markets. The AMI declined to elaborate on what it meant by "other than normal channels.” But it was a phrase understood to mean the black markets. The reports covered the nine weeks since federal price controls on beef went into effect. ' ® The AML said a check of 95 of the nation’s leading beef producers showed that during the nine weeks they <jould only buy percent of the number of cattle under ceiling prices as they bought in the same period last year. The difference amounted to 484,241 head of cattle or about 266,000,000 pounds, it said. I “Part of /this decline was due to the fact that 17 percent fewer animals came to market, but most of it was the result of syphoning of. cattle to other than normal channels,” it said. “It is obvious that large quantities of beef have been and are flowihg through other than normal channels. This fact is emphasized by reports received from various parts of tha;country, indicating maldistribution and spotty shortages of various standard consumer beef items.” Some of the items affected are roundsteak, hamburger and .beef Stew meat, the AMI said. The AMI pointed up the extent of “diversion” of beef by slaying that purchases by the! 95 producers fell 37ty percent during the nine weeks,, even though only 17 percent less animals arrived at market. ‘ / \ The nlne-week period started June 1 when a controversial 10 percent rollback on the prices packers pay for beef on the hoof went into effect. Two other rollbacks planned by the government were blocked by the new federal controls'bill. Many major packers'halted or curtailed beef production early in June, claiming they couldn’t buy beef and obey the regulation.

They also warned black markets might result. Meanwhile, A. O. S. department of agriculture spokesman said beef pries have appeared to decline a little since June 1. Supplies generally have been normal and it would be “pretty hard to tell” whether prices paid by packers conform with the law, he said. Warrant Is Issued For Portland Man Geneva town marshal Preston Fyle today issued . a warrant to Jay county authorities for the ar•est of Robert Pottlnger, 27, of Portland, who Monday was the a’leged Instigator of a fist fight or. a street in Geneva. Pottlnger is cited for disorderly conduct and leckless driving. According to Pyle, who was called to the scene, Pottlnger walked out of a Geneva tavern end immediately, began attacking Ralph Risler, also of Portland Pyle said there was" apparently ro argument, that Pottlnger spied the man on the sidewalk, apnioached him and began flailing the other Portland man. -j gen. ridgway" (Continued From Page One) Red commander abruptly that he noted that he had "again” issued neutrality orders to troops. The "again” was underlined for emjdrasis. \ Rebuking the Reds for the tone of their message, Ridgway said the neutrality violations he had complained of were "neither minor nor trivial," as the Communists held, and that '‘"their accidental nature is in doubt.” Ridgway sent his message by radio shortly before 1:30 p. m. yesterday (9:30 p. m. Monday OST.) Though no reply had been received early today, the Chinese Communist Peiping radio countercharged \ last night that United States forces violated Kaesong’s neutrality themselves.
