Trouble on Beef:

Worse still—it could mean crumbling of last controls still standing against inflation.

beef is the cornerstone.

this far.

| enforce meat controls. The hard facts:

ceilings. And spirited bidding for animals goes on at these

levels. Answer has to be widespread violations.

OPS and industry men think current black * market is in short weights. Like this: Slaughterer buys a live steer at over-ceiling price. To get his money back, it-would have to have dressed-out weight of 60 pounds. per 100 pounds of live animal. Actual weight is only 57 pounds, but slaughterer puts it down as 60 in his books, charges wholesaler at this rate. Wholesaler with demand as it is, makes no squawk. Nei ther does retailer, who also gets short weight, shaves an ounce or two off what the customer pays for. Chances are you don't weigh vour meat when you get it home,

Another side of the picture: Army’s getting no offers on

meat it needs, will buy 10 mil-

lion pounds of beef from uther countries for troops eras It expects to pay current U, 8. torre for beef; will

save money on failure of local suppliers to bid. But ordinary

consumers can't get foreign beef.

Next Crisis: Britain

NEXT CRISIS of Western world may come in Britain. It's already facing an election Oct. 25, with a change of government likely. Jt may also have a new monarch. Correspondent in London cables that doctors think trouble in King George's lung is malignant. Question is whether any government strong enough to play necessary part in rearming of Europe against communism tan emerge from situation caused by mounting financial and economic problems, trouble over oil in Iran, revoit in the Middle East against British policy. Answers will affect our own security-—and tax rate.

Confirmdfion Row

THAT ROW brewing in the Senate over confirmation of Chester Bowles as ambassador to India and Philip Jessup as U. 8. delegate to the United Nations may be one of the hottest in years.

Republicans are taking careful aim at both. They'll accus Jessup of being foo soft wit Communists. Only charge made 80 far against Bowles is that he's a New Dealer. Actual basis of fight against him may be unpopularity among Senators of his. former partner, Sen. William Benton of Connecticut, who has asked expulsion’ of Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R. Wis.).

Sen. Taft says - he thinks more GOP Senators are against Bowles than Jessup. Democrats think the fight on Jesup will be hardest to win. They think they will win--by picking up Republican votes to offset the Democrats they'll lose. *

Note: Sen. Benton is a pen pal of Prime Minister Nehru of India, Their friendship probably had something to do with selection of Benton's other friend, Bowles, to go to India. When Nehru was lorked up by British, during war, to keep Indian Nationalists from sabotaging the fight against Japan, Benton sent magazines; cigarets and books to him.

By WILLIAM MeGAFFIN LONDON, Sept. 22 (CDN)-— It's no secret that Prime Minister Clement Attlee would have preferred to wait until a more favorable time rather than risk the fate of his Labor government on Oct. 25, the date he has set for Britain's next general election.
