Food Prices Expected
To Hold High Levels
While Butter Drops
Food prices, especially meat, re
main in general at high levels
reached a week ago and show no
signs of following the expected
downward trend in retail butter
costs here, dealers reported today.
Largely because of seasonal in
creases in cold storage stocks, butter
is likely to sell at 3 to 4 cents a
pound cheaper in retail Stores by
Friday in this area. This will be the
probable result of the second succes
sive drop of 2 cents a pound in New
York wholesale market quotations,
dealers explained.
Grade A butter is currently selling
for 89 and 90 cents a pound in most
retail stores here.
The wholesale and retail meat
situation is about the same as it
was a week ago and probably will
show few if any reductions when
week end price lists are issued by
major retail markets tomorrow,
marketmen said.
"There certainly won’t be any
appreciable declines this week so
far as we can tell now,” a repre
sentative of the wholesalers added.
Sirloin and poterhouse steaks,
which two weeks were priced be
tween 97 cents and *1 in some re
tail stores, were selling today for
as high as *1.09 and *1.12. Those
are about the same as the prices
listed last Thursday for similar
grades.
Lamb chops were still over the *1
a pound level, but one large chain
store organization reported that leg
of lamb was selling at 71 to 73
cents, a decline of about 2 cents a
pound since last week.

He added:
“We have trains loaded with coal
standing ready at the Elbe today

word they can proceed to Berlin.
We are not interested in promises—
only in deliveries. We also are not
interested in offers that appear to
be big-hearted until . we can see
what political strings are attached
to them.”
• The official Soviet press combined
the coal offer with new propaganda

City government. It claimed Rus

had been “sabotaged” by non-Com

Election Called “Impossible.*'
Under the national emergency of
the Taft-Hartley Act, they are sup
posed to eonduct an election during
the 15 days between August 13 and
August 28, to see whether the em

Charles M. Brooks, NLRB asso

The NLRB is supposed to report
the results of the election by Sep

Aid Problem Greater
'Than We Thought/
Two ECA Aides Say
Two labor advisers of the Eco
nomic Co-operation Administration,
just returend from a five-week tour
of Western Europe, declared today
the problem of European recovery
is “one of even greater magnitude
and intensity than we first thought.”
Outlining their findings at a press
conference here were Clinton S.
Golden, assistant to CIO President
Phillip Murray, and Bert M. Jewell,
former president of the Railway
Employes Department, AFL.
‘This means," they said, “that
American labor has a greater re
sponsibility and opportunity than it
ever had to make its objectives of
economic recovery, social recon
struction and sound democracy
real.”
Reds Cultivate Suspicion.
They noted that European Com
munists “skillfully cultivate a sus
picion of the United States” within
ranks of labor, but that notwith
standnig European labor is “awak
ening to the needs of Europe."
Mr. Golden estimated that with
out the European Recovery Pro
gram, it would take the Continent
more than 10 years to work Itself
out of postwar destruction into “a
kind of prosperity.”
Europeans, however, are working
against "a time factor, a hunger
factor and a fear factor, skillfully
cultivated by the Communists,” Mr.
Golden added.
Uncertain About Berlin.
Mr. Jewell said he noted a hesi
tation about going ahead with re
covery problems because of the
tense situation in Berlin. Nobody,
he added, is certain of a settlement
there. '
“It is our settled opinion that the
inspiration for a new concept of
international relations between the
democratic countries of Europe
should come from American labor,”
they declared.
Mr. Golden said that the non
Communlst dominated unions in
this country must maintain their
support of ERP.
Super-Rare Blood

BALTIMORE, Aug. 18.—A new
super-rare human blood type has
been Isolated by scientists.
It is so rare that it courses
through the arteries of only about
one person in each 240,000 it is
estimated. But it has given the
medical profession another clue as
to why some blood transfusions
cause death or stillbirths.
The new type contains a factor
dubbed an “HR double prime.’’
Identification of the factor was
set up by Dr. H. Raymond Peters,
physician-in-chief of Mercy Hospi
tal here, and Dr. Alexander S
Weiner, New York serologlst. v
Just two “HR double prime" cases
have been turned up in medical
history so far, one in England and
the other here.

authority, found a patient * there

Gas Company to End
Winchester Service
ly th« Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 18.—Effec
tive at midnight August 31, Win
chester gas consumers will have to
seek other means to heat homes and
cook meals.
The State Corporation Commis
sion yesterday approved an order
authorizing the Consumers Utilities
Co. of Harrisonburg to cease dis
tributing gas to approximately 800
consumers in the city of Winches
ter and the Frederick County area.
The order stemmed from an ex
plosion June 23 which partially
wrecked a three-story building,
killing one person and injuring 17
others. Escaping gas from a leaking
main was believed to have caused
the explosion.
Following the explosion and an
investigation, the Winchester City
Council passed a resolution which
would have forced the Consumers
Utilities Co. to make city-wide im
provements to its 20 miles of mains.
This resulted in a plea from the
gas company that it was unable
financially to carry out the improve
ment program outlined by the coun
cil.
After a series of conferences the
city council approved an order can
celing the company’s franchise,
which would expire December 31,
1950.
The gas company also serves con
sumers in Harrisonburg and Front
Royal.
Most consumers here are convert
ing to "bottled’’ gas and electricity. I
Cost of the change-over to the for
mer amounts to from $15 to $30 per I

may continue to use their present
ippliances.

New Savings Notes
With Higher Interest
To Be Issued Sept. 1
By th« Associotod frtt
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder
today announced the issuance on
September 1 of new Treasury sav
ings notes carrying a higher in
terest yield.
The new ‘‘Series D” notes, he said,
will mature in three years and carry
a maximum yield of $1.40 a month
for each $1,000, as compared with
$1.07 for the Series C notes. Sale of
Series C will end August 31.
The action follows up Mr. Snyder’s
announcement of higher interest
rates on Government short-term
securities. He describes the policy
as anti-inflationary since private
interest rates normally follow the
trend of Government Bonds. A
rise in interest makes it more ex
pensive to borrow money and there
fore curtails the expansion of credit.
Purchased by Corporations.
The Treasury savings notes, usu
ally called "tax-saving notes,” are
purchased by corporations as a re
serve against future payment of
taxes. They may be used at any
time up to three years for tax
payment.
The new notes will be dated on
the first day of the month in which
purchased and will be issued at par,
Mr. Snyder said. Interest will accrue
each month following, on a rising
scale. The following table shows the
amount of accrual each month on
each $1,000 of notes:
First half year__$ .80
One-half to one year._ 1.00
One to 114 years.... 1.20
l*/2 to two years... 1.30
Two to 2H years.^. 1.40
214 to three years.. 1.40
Non-Redemption Period Cut.
The period in which the notes
may not be offered for cash redemp
tion has been cut from six months
to four months from the month of
issue.
Like Series C, the new notes will
oe accepted in payment of income,
estate and gift taxes. If not so pre
sented, they will be redeemable at
par plus accrued interest. If held
Oy banks which accept demand de
posits, the notes will be accepted on
those terms in payments of taxes
but will be redeemed for cash only
at the purchase price or at par.

•y ttw AmmM frm%
NEW ALBANY. Ind., Aug. 18 —
Floyd County officials asked a ban
on comic book sales today and
planned psychiatric tests for three
small boys accused of torturing a
fourth. Officials said eomic books
had Inspired the torture.
A 7-year-old boy related the tale
In Circuit Court yesterday. He dis
played welts caused by ropes on his
neck and wrists. Physicians said he
narrowly escaped death by hanging.
The four were questioned by Pro
bation Officer Frank Kelley. Judge
D. Kirke Hedden and Prosecutor
A. Eugene Hancock. The judge said
he would take no action until the
three have been examined by a
psychiatrist.
They denied harming their com
panions, but Kelley said he pieced
this story together:
The 7-year-old was taken to a
small woods and forced to take off
his clothes, which were burned. The
three, tied his hands behind his
back and then knotted a rope
around his neck, threw It oeer a
tree limb and pulled until his toes
touched ground.
They held lighted matches against
his body and laughed at his screams.
They fled tghen they thought they

against him is decided upon.
Justice Diekstein Confers Here.
.Justice Samuel Diekstein of the
New York Supreme Court was in
Washington to talk with State De
partment officials about diplomatic
legal aspects of the Kosenkina case.
Before Mrs. Kosenkina's escape
jump from the consulate, Justice
Diekstein last week Issued a writ
directing Mr. Lomakin to produce
her in court. After Ambassador
Panyushkin here protested, the
State Department asked that Jus
tice Diekstein take no further
action pending additional investiga
tion.
After a visit to the State Depart
ment today, Judge Diekstein said he
expects to make next Monday a
decision disposing of the writ.
The New York police reports will
be used by the department in fram
ing formal replies to other Soviet
protests and demands for custody
of Mrs. Kosenkina and Mr. and Mrs.
Samarine.
The department already has made
clear the teachers will be allowed
bo stay here as political refugees If
they want to.
Woman “Coached,’' Russians Say.
Ambassador Panyushkin was told
Saturday by Undersecretary of State
Lovett that Mrs. Kosenkina would
not be forced to see anyone she
didn't want to see or put under the
control of anyone against her will.
New York police, who are guarding
Mrs. Kosenkina at the hospital,
quote her as saying she jumped
from the consulate to escape the
Russians.
Mr. Lomakin contends she was
attempting suicide after, he said,
she was driven to a nervous break
down and “despair” by White Rus
sians and the actions and statements
jf American officials.
If his accusations against Amer
can officials are proved false, that
would be another ground for asking
iis recall.
Hospital officials revealed late
yesterday that Mrs. Kosenkina has
been given several blood transfu
sions. Her injuries were listed as
fractures of the right thigh, right
kneecap, right foot, the pelvis and
one vertebra.
Meanwhile, there was some specu
ation over the Soviet government’s
reasons for closing all the schools
It has operated here and in other
countries for the children of its
officials stationed abroad.
School Equipment to Be Sold.
The Russians operated two such
schools in- the United States—the
one in New York, where Mrs.
Kosenklna taught and one for-the
children of Embassy personnel here.
Closing of the Washington school
came to light yesterday when the
Soviet Embassy advertised the
school desks and blackboards for
sale.
A possible reason suggested In
some quarters Was that by keepins
at home the children of its officials
abroad the Soviet government in
effect would have them as hostages
against any desire of the officials to
renounce communism.
American officials were inclined,
however, to accept the explanation
that Moscow had found it too dif
ficult to maintain abroad the facili
ties to provide proper levels of edu
cation.
