Lower Beef, Veal Prices Foreseen Moderate Drop In Prices Next Year. Washington; up— The housewife can look forward to “moderately” lower prices for beef and veal next year, the agriculture department said today. ?■ • But the department foresees little change in prices for lamb, mutton and pork. Behind the anticipated dip in beef prices is a build-up in cattle herds which has been going on for the past three years—the normal span between the pasture and the store counter for beef. The department predicted nearly a 1.000,000,04)0 pound gain in beef supplies next year and a 150.000,00 pound boost in veal cuts. Lamb and mutton production is expected to show little change from this year while pork output should drop about 600.000,000 pounds as a result of farmers cutting back their pig herds because of high corn prices.

Unjustified Charge By Holder Rebounds INDIANAPOLIS UP — A Republican’s injection of religion into the Indiana senatorial —wtnrWfo may prove a costly blunder, Democrat leaders said today.

Campbell said these persons, regardless of religious or political affiliations, have come to Schricker’s defense. The Democrats’ attitude was that Holder’s accusation “certainly hasn’t lost Schricker anything." “The average person-particular-ly those Catholics who know Henry Schricker —was very indignant and resentful, of Holders statement,” said Patrick Barton, secretary of the Democratic state committee. “They thought It was very unethical. There was no basis for It." ; Schricker will make four political appearances this week, with speeches Tuesday night in Delphi, Thursday night in Scottsburg. Friday afternoon in Danville and Friday night in Switz City. Elsewhere on the political scene, candidates used veterana, alcoholics and smear tactics as their campaign themes Saturday night. Lt. Gov.
