so’ affe L In Civilian Push : By TED KNAP THE INDUSTRIAL ‘boom” is on in Indiana, but it has little to do with the war. Orders are pouring in, pro-

are most plentiful since 1948. In the midst of all this flurry, there is scarcely a war contract, Industrialists attribute the ac-
celération to buying by civilians —

Prices of Meat Due to Drop;

By CLIFFORD THURMAN MEAT PRICES are going down. Indianapolis HUYEER.. — and.
k ‘those throtighout America —
who have been buying up meats
and filling deep freezers-at cur--
rent prices are in for a bitter surprise. “he high price levels at present are seasonal, stimulated by buying because of the Korean War. Sometime between now and Sept. 1 prices on both pork and beef will begin to slide off. That is the consensus of a number of leading Indianapolis
packers, pork and beef pro-
ducers and economists. A survey conducted by The Times indicated there is a bountiful " supply of meats in Indiana and no need for panic or mass buying at current price levels.
» ” » “THIS IS the time of year for meat prices to go up-it is a seasonal happening,” Thomas G: Sinclair, vice president and treasurer of Kingan and Co. said. - “People. got excited about the war situation and started panic buying. This, coming at a seasonal and normal uptrend naturally shot prices upwards. The inverftory was simply shifted from packers to consumers.
