Caution Urged
On Freezing
Farm Products
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. mn —
Some Congress members Monday
advocated a go-slow policy toward
any legislation which would apply
the price freeze to farm products
generally and the food items now
exempt.
One suggestion, voiced by Sea-
stor O Mahoney °(D-Wyo), wss that
the current freeze of most other
prices “very likely" will have the
effect of holding down end per-
haps even lowering the cost of
things which escaped Friday’s
price control order.
"I think we can wait a bit and
see what happens," said O’Mahon-
ey who is chairman of the Senate-
House Economic Committee.
He expressed his views to a re-
porter in advance of a roundtable
discussion of inflation problems by
that committee and representatives
of the CIO and other groups.
FARM PRODUCTS
Under the present law, farm pro-
duct prices cannot be established
below parity — a formula level
designed to give the farmer a fair
return in proportion to the cost
of things he buys. In effect, that
provision of the law also excludes
from price control some of the
food items sold in grocery stores.
The price freeze order covers no
farm prices, even though some
agricultural commodities sre sell-
ing shove parity. It does apply to
■seat at the wholesale and retail
levels, and to a few other foods
at the same levels.
On some foods, such ss breed,
butter and eggs, retail prices may
be raised to reflect sny Incresses
at the farm. There is no price
control at all on such things as
fresh fruits and vegetables and
fresh fish.
the transfer of all city depart-
ments to the Legion structure with
the exception of the Engineering
and Police Department* and the
jail.
Activities of the engineers and
the police and the use of the jail
quarters will coatinue in the City
Hall, City Manager Auetta P Han-
cock said Monday.
The other department* were
moved to the Legion structure lor
the duration of a remodeling proj-
ect now under way at City Hall
Hancock said that the work,
which has started on the top floor,
will proceed next to the first floor
above ground and finally to the
basement, where the engineers,
police and jail are located. He was
of the opinion that the Police De-
portment and jail will not have to
seek other quarters. Engineers will
be moved to the remodeled top
floor when the construction work-
ers get to the basement
"We believe that the City Hall
remodeling will be completed by
June 1 if we don't get delay ed on
materiala." Hancock stated.
Return to Abilene
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Osborne and
son Fred.Jr., have returned from
Ganado, where they visited Mrs.
Osborne’s mother, Mrs 1 Woodall
who is critically ill in a hospital
there.
Charter Extended
Charter of Western Compress &
Storage Company, of Abilene has
been extended for a 50-year period.
It has been announced by John
Ben Shepperd, secretary of state.
Western Compress has been in
business here for the past 50 years,
according to W H. Haney, vice
president and general manager
The firm’s general office is lo-
cated in the West Texas Utilities
building and its Abilene plant at
642 North Second St.
Abilenian’s Kin Dies
Mrs. Lula Hewitt, 1217 AmanUo
St., was notified this morning of
the death of her sister, Mrs. Al-
pha Daily, 76. at her Kirksville.
Mo., home. Mrs. Daily had visited
in Abilene numerous times.
Mrs. Hewitt will be unable to
attend funeral services which will
be held in Kirksville.
O'Mahoney noted that the parity
formula is geared to industrial and
other prices which are under con-
trol _____'
"Since the farm parity level Is
determined at least in part by
the prices for those other things.
I think we may find the parity
level declining." O'Mahoney said.
“If farm prices and food prices
did not go down too, they prbably
then would be above parity and
would be subject to price con-
trol."
New Bat-Like Jet
Likes First Flight
EL SEGUNDA. Calif. Jan 30.
W — The successful maiden flight
of the bat-like Douglas XF4D
jet interceptor was announced Sun-
day by the Navy.
Larry Peyton, veteran Douglas
test pilot, completed a 30 - minute
high altitude flight at Edwards Air
Force Base, Maroc, Calif., last
Tuesday
The speedy jet Is designed for
catapult takeoff from carriers and
for rapid climb to the upper at-
mosphere. The Navy said it fulfills
the need for a fighter which can
intercept an enemy before he reach-
es a position to attack the fleet
or ground installations.
In appearance the XF4D is al-
most grotesque. Its wing and tail
are combined as one, with the nose
and cockpit protruding far for-
ward.
The new jet is one of the first
Navy fighters built specifically for
interception.
