For Hoarding, Say Butchers

CHICAGO, June 9 — Most i
Americans have refused to get stampeded by a threatened beef shortage, butchers across the country reported today, . The butchers said prices are too high to permit noarding. Still, supplies shrank as farmers and packers argued that price ceilings were unworkable. The American Meat Institute reported that 95 of the biggest beef packers dressed 59 per cent less cattle this week and that farmers shippéd 31 per cent fewer animals to market

Won't Sell Whole Beef
Some Kansas City butchers said they nearly were out of beef. One said he believed all his customers had their refrigerators full. Scores' of Cleveland residents were reported driving to Medina to. make purchases of up to $200. At Omaha, which like Kansas City 1s surrounded by feed lots, there was no indication of scare buying. The same was true at Dallas, Des Moines, Atlanta, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Milwaukee and San Francisco. Meat Market Manager Edgar Cook of Indianapolis said a woman telephoned him for a whole beef. He refused to sell.
Taft Calls GOP To Rally Behind Honesty as Issue |
By United Press MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 9 Sen. Robert A. Taft, (R., 0.), said tonight the 1952 Republican presidential campaign battle line as he sees it is common honesty in| government. i
“The Republican party offers a return to honesty and frankness,” he said. “The issue is the restoration of honest principle of government.” Mr. Taft was the keynoter at a GOP §100-a-plate fund-raising dinner. J Earlier ne lambasted the Truman administration in a commencement address at Ripon College and accepted an honorary degree. He advised the graduates not to seek jobs in the “tremendous bureaucracy” of the federal government but to take an active interest in the affairs of their own communities,
Lauds McCarthy
Mr. Taft made blistering attack during the party dinner on the administration’s foreign and domestic policies. He centered his fire on “the low state of political morality in the administration,” the “creeping forces of socialism,” and “no consistency and no principle” in the administration's foreign policy. “The history of the Korean War shows the administration has no foreign policy, has no consistency and no principle,” he asserted. Mr, Taft gave a pat on the back to Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, (R.| Wis.), whose attacks last year on | the State Department resulted in| a Senate committee investigation| of Reds-in-government.

That's nearly twice the average of last year's weekly sales. And the coming week will put the fowl on an even higher perch.

But Bronx Zoo attendants said today they believe they can keep alive a female kangaroo whose twin brother keeps kicking her out of their mother’s pouch. At least her first day as a bottle baby was a success. She ate all the formula. To the consternation of Zoo keepers, twins were born to a kangaroo when everybody who bothers to look at the encyclopedia knows that “as a rule

My wife tells me the company owes me more dough if we are to keep under. nourished bodies and souls together.” Wiping a tear from his eye, boss told me about the new facts of life and livilhood.

Seeks Aid From Board
If we have a law covering “wage freezes” why should it take weeks to find out whether I could slip through one of the loopholes? That lawyer must be dragging his investigation. Seeing a chance to speed things up for the dilatory attorney, the overworked boss and underpaid me, I hurried over to see the wage stabilization people. The office is in the Mutual Benefit building, and the very name of the building seemed a good omen. Even the sign by the elevator door, “For a Secure Citlzen” told me I had come to the right place.

Said I: “I want a raise.” “You'll have to get it from your lemployer. “I have asked him, but he says you people have a freeze on and have all the rules and regulations, What are they?” “Oh, you'd like a copy of the rules—all of them?” . “Yes all of them.” She handed me a sheaf of regulations,
