incomes likely to be high, demand for food will remain strong, the department said Sunday night in its publication, “Hie National Food Situation.” Retail food prices during the second quarter of 1957 averaged around 3 per cent above those of a year earlier, despite the fact that farm prices were about the same in both periods. The increase in retail prices reflected higher marketing charges which were 6 per cent above those in the second quarter of 1956 The department noted that the gain over a year earlier in retail food prices was not quite as large as the increase in prices of other consumer goods and services. Large supplies of livestock products are in .prospect for the remainder of 1957, but the situation for indifidual commodities varies, the department said. There will be a little less meat available per person than in the last half of 1956, with small reductions expected for both beef and pork. Somewhat fewer eggs are likely to be available this fall than last. There also will be increased supplies of dairy products and turkey meat this summer and fall, and about as much chicken meat. Per capita consumption of meat this year is expected to be 159 pounds, down 8 pounds from the 1956 record rate. During the first half of 1957, consumption was almost 5 pounds lower with the reduction principally in pork. A smaller decline from the 1956 rate is expected in the second half of 1957, with the largest part in beef. Frerf Voglewede Family Safe In Mexico City Mr. and Mrs Fred Voglewede and family, now living in Mexico City, report they are safe from any damage in the earthquake which destroyed a large part of Mexico] City Sunday.

Pay Final Respects To Slain President Slayer Hoped For Red Restoration GUATEMALA CITY (UP) — Guatemalan authorities said today the Communist guard who assassinated President Carlos Castillo Armas Friday hoped his death would restore pro-Communist exPresident Juart J. Arevalo to power. ‘ They,published excerpts from a propaganda-loaded diary kept by the killer which showed him to be an avid fan of Radio Moscow. Grieving men, women and children by the thousand flocked to Guatemala’s “white house” today to pay their last respects to the slain president, who skyrocketed from obscurity to power to death in three short years. He will be buried Tuesday. Vice President Luis A. Gonzales Lopez, who took over the presidency after Castillo was slain, announced at once that elections for a new president would be held within four months. Saturday night, however, Gonzalez announced that the decree ordering new elections will remain in suspence as long as the state of siege is in force—a period now set at 30 days, which might be extended indefinitely The killer, Romeo Vasquez Sanchez, took his own life a minute or two after he shot the president, when he found that loyal guards attracted by the sound of the shots had cut off his escape. A sort of diary kept by Vasquez hailed Russia as a “great nation” ’ which is “awakening the people j from the lethargy in which they were kept by the enslaving ty- ■ rants, the clergy, capitalism and I the despicable conservatives.” “I have prepared my plan to put an end to the life of the president. I am a martyr and have nothing to 105e...,” the diary said. Hammond Man Dies p While Surf Walking o CHESTERTON (UP) —Robert C. b Bittick, 22, Hammond, drowned in Lake Michigan at nearby Ogden c Dunes Saturday night while walk- b ing in the surf. _ Irene Drinkun, 21, East Chicago, d told authorities she was walking t with Bittick in chest-deep water ( when he suddenly went under.

The Red Cross and fire department mustered thousands of volunteers J to search ruined homes for more . victims. The army guarded down- . town stricken areas against looting. The capital city, with a population of 2,300,000, was hardest hit in the quake which was strongly felt as far north as Monterrey and as far south as Tehuantepec. Government seismologists placed the epicenter near Acapulco. One of the most terrifying sights for the superstitious was the fall of an angel from the 90-foot high marble independence column on the Paseo de la Reforma in the heart of the city Fall of the great gilt and bronze figure was feared by many to be an omen of further ill fortune. Column May Fall Authorities warned that the marble column itself might tumble and the area was roped off. Mexico City, a place of modernistic office buildings and apartments and ragged and crowded slum districts, took a terrible beating. The heaviest loss of life was reported in the first three minutes when a brand new apartment tumbled and a huge hotel was twisted off its foundations. No Americans were reported killed, but tourist hotels evacuated their guests. Movie houses were closed and two were reported on the verge of toppling. Many of the most modern office buildings bore huge cracks; one building under construction became a mass of twisted girders. -

23 Persons Hurt In Rioting In Chicago City Park Is Site Os Racial Battle CHICAGO (UP) — Twenty-one persons today faced misdemeanor charges to Boys Court in the wake of a re'cral battle in a city park in which 23 persons were injured by flying bats, bottles and bricks. Sgt. Joseph McCabe of the South Chicago police district said a number of adults were in the group rounded up during the melee Sunday, but since most of them were teen - agers, all will go to Boys Court. McCabe described the situation today as “quiet” but added that trouble in the area “might flare up again.” He said a police emergency plan still is in effect in the district About 300 persons engaged in the brawl and about 3,000 curiosity seekers were attractedtothe scene. Windows of passing cars were smashed by stones and two Negro drivers of Chicago Transit Authority buses were pulled from their vehicles and beaten. All but two of the injured were treated and released at South Chicago, Provident and Jackson Park hospitals. Lester Johnson, 18, was hospitalized with a possible fractured skull and John Burgess, 42, also was held for treatment of a possible rib fracture. Police said the clash apparently, started when about 50 white youths charged a picnic sponsored by a Negro social and civic club at Calumet Park on the lake front. I Welboume Mollison, 36, a guest i of the Negro social club, said the picnickers “threw up a buffer line” to ward off the attackers while their wives and children got into cars,. “It worked pretty well,” he i said. . Park District police tried to! break up the battle by firing warning shots into the air, but the 1 fighters ignored the shots. They called for aid from city police who sent 23 squads to the scene and the groups were quickly separated. 1 It you have suruetning to seD or . ooms rot rent, try a Democrat < Want Ad. it brings results.
