istration urged # housewives today as it opened an intensive campaign | to pull up a distressed egg market. | Unprecedented production has flooded the market with more eggs | than normal consumer demand and war processing plants can absorb. | As a result producer prices have | fallen considerably below the level WFA has promised to support. If every family will use one] dozen extra eggs a week for the next three weeks, it will be a major step! toward improving the - situation, WFA said. . Supports Prices At the same time, pressure is being brought on retail grocers, whose prices in many areas have remained close to the ceiling, to reduce prices in line with their present costs. WFA for some time has supported prices through the purchase of eggs in carlot quantities at an average of 30 cents a dozen for the topquality. As a new support measure, WFA said, it will purchase eggs directly from the producer at not less than 26 cents a dozen through designated company agents. The companies toen will resell the eggs to WFA at 29 cents a dozen. WFA agents will buy eggs on the New York and Chicago mercantile exchanges, and contracts are being negotiated with breaker and freezing plants for

Girl, 3, Trapped;
_ Freed by Firemen
For 3-year-old Heather Leavitt the men rallied 'round yesterday. The curly haired daughter of Mr. and Mrs, David Leavitt stood for more than an hour with her foot and leg stuck in an Indianapolis Water Co, cut-off pipe in front of the Leavitt home, 5756 Washington blvd., while the police emergency squad, the fire depart- | ment rescue squad and water company workmen tried to free her. After soapy water, vaseline and oil drainings failed, E. R. Austin of the water company, who has helped many a child out of a similar trap, directed excavation around the pipe. The concrete
around the pipe was broken, the pipe craeked and Heather was free.
