Red Chinese Dried
Eggs 67c lb.; U. S.
Eggs 96c lb. |
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President
Truman’s order raising the tariff
on dried eggs from Red China has
brought complaints Of “not
enough” from some political and
labor leaders in the northwest.
A proclamation issued by the
White House Friday night boost
ed the duty from 17 cents to 27
cents a pound. It also cancelled
concessions granted China oh nu
merous other items including
furs, laces, canned chickens and
floor coverings.
Shipment of dried eggs from
the communist country set off a
furor last week that led Rep.
Mitchell i D.-Wash.- to demand an
investigation. Mitchell said that
the eggs are piling up in a Seattle
warehouse at a time when this
country has vast surplus of high
priced U. S. dried eggs in storage.
Mitchell said Friday night in
Seattle that a “big doughnut bak
ing firm” in New York is buying
the bulk of the eggs for a deliv
ered price of 67 cents a pound as
compared with 96 cents for U. S.
eggs.

More Controls If I
Inflation Continues
GAINESVILLE, Fla., (/P)—'The
federal reserve system is ready to
clamp more controls on the na
tion’s cash if a headlong trend
toward inflation continues.
That word came last week from
one of the federal reserve sys
tem’s top bosses, M. S. Szymczak
of Washington, a member at the
board of governors.
“We are prepared to take fur
ther action if inflationary tenden
cies continue,” he told the third
annual southeastern economics
conference.
“For obvious reasons I cannot
tell you anything about our plans
for the future. However, I can
give you my assurance that we
shall carefully consider the use of
any anti-inflationary weapon in
our arsenal.

more. Skipper on the Square Sin
net is Capt. Ramsauer, well
known in this area for the many
trips he has made to Nome in the
past.

The couple said “oui” before
Mayor Charles Palmaro as more

crowd of 3,000 chattered excitedly
in the city hall courtyard.
The best man for the Austral

his fellow countryman, yachtsman

Claudia, was matron of honor for
the 24-year-old bride from Salina,
