Grand Jury Blames Noted Chicago Doctor In Horsemeat Inquiry But Operators Serf Relief Needed Now Ii They Stcry Here Suggestions for "ihrimp community" were advanced laat night at a meeting called by the Chamber of Commerce in an effort to prevent the wholesale evacuation of trawler from thia area.

However, the operator! appeared more concerned with immediate action, such aa lowering' the price of ice from $7 to $6 a ton. Some 31 sup-jjlicn, aervice representative! and Chamber of Commerce director met at the Civic Center. "Take care of the immediate needs," aaid one shrimper after hearing Harvey B. Richards, committeeman, suggest creation of long rartge plant, to provide cheaper dockage, fuel, ice and packing service. Problem Listed The high cost of ice cut two meek ago to $6.50, wa only one of the problem facing ihrimp operators, John Marin said.

He listed thete a fuel, crew problem, packing charges and repair. 3 O. Sloan, manager of the City Ice and Fuel Company waa present but made no comment.

"Shrimpers here are unable to obtain cheap land near deep water. They are unable to provide themselves with cheep docking space and can't keep their costs down.

A a result, they have to pay $1 to $1.50 per box for packing at the dock and that is too much," Marin aaid. Other shrimper problems mentioned at the meeting were shallow channels and $3.50 an hour labor charge for repairmen to fix their boats. Community Plan CHICAGO, March 7 (JP) A grand jury Investigating illegal horse meat sales today reportedly accused Dr. Herman N.

"The ultimate decision between free World and slave world lies in the balance," the President said. "With strength, the free nations would best be able to deter further Communist aggression, or to repel it if it occurred. Given such strength and the moral standards which inspire it, the free world could move forward in confidence of the ultimate decay of the Soviet alave world." If such strength is to be created, he said, continued U.S. aid ia needed.

Truman's latest arguments for the foreign anna and economic aid program were contained in hia first report on operations of the 1951 mutual security act aent to a Congress which displayed every evidence of trying to reduce the nearly eight billion dollars he has asked billion dollars he has asked the program during tha ch starts July 1. to run year which starts July 1.

Taft let fly tonight at Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the indicated favorite, in the strongest attack he haa yet made in his campaign to win the New Hampshire primary election. He asked a series of questions and asserted "my principal opponent has taken no definite position on any issue." Heretofore, Taft has paid only slight attention to Eisenhower or the statements of the general's backers. in a speech at Manchester tonight, Tsft said: "I think Governor Adams and Senators Lodge and Duff have done the general a tremendous disservice in bringing him into a contest when it is impossible for him to take a position on any controversial issue or let the people know how he stands." Where Doea Ike Stand? Taft then asked where Eisen hower stands with respect to the Taft-Hartley law, the civil rights program conduct of the Korean war and other domestic and international issues, "Is General Eisenhower prepared," asked Taft, "to call a spade a spade, without yielding to the natural inclination to avoid direct attack on his friends and associates in the present administration?" Taft added that 'he would support Eisenhower if "the general wins the GOP nomination.

Smathers addresses civic groups there. In speeches for delivery there, Smathers expresses the view that the Rusell candidacy is not a negative "stop Truman" enterprise, but a strong affirmative drive from the grass roots to place his name before the Chicago convention next July as the strongest, best qualified candidate the party can offer to the voters. The Senator reviews the part the Democratic party has played since Jefferson's time, giving1 to he country some of its greatest leaders and most forward-looking statesmen from the South, There is no reason, he declares, why the South cannot again assume the leadership of the party and the nation.

The ruling on a suit brought by parents of Negro school children in Prince Edward County, said it found "no hurt or harm to either race" in the statutes re'quir ing separate but equal facilities for the races. The system "hss not been social despotism" as contended by plaintiffs in the suit, the court said, but on the contrary has "begotten greater opportunities for the Negro." Separation of the races in the public schools of Virginia "has for generations been, a part of the mores of ber people," the court opinion said, adding: "It indisputa bly appears from the evidence that the separation provision rests neither upon prejudice, nor caprice, nor upon any other measureless foundation. The Way it Life "Rather the proof ia that' it de clarcs one of the ways of life in Virginia." Arguments in the suit, brought by the Prince Edward County Ne gro parents with the backing of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, ended before the special court last Friday. The suit was filed last year aft er Negro pupils at the R.

R. Moton high school in Farmville went on a "strike" for several days in protest against alleged "Unequal facili-ties." The students claimed that the Moton school plant and curric- la Were inferior to the plant and curricula of white schools in the county. Counsel for the plaintiffs asked simultaneously that Negro facilities in Prince Edward be equalized with white facilities and that the state segregation' laws be declared unconstitutional, Oliver Hill, Richmond lawyer representing the Negroes, told the court that Negro school facilities were inferior to facilities provided white children "in every city and county in the state." Hill and various witnesses for the plaintiffs contended that segre gation breeds a feeling of inferior ity in Negro children. The state and the Prince Edward County school board, through a battery of lawyers headed by At torney General J. Lindsay Almond claimed that the "separata but equal" statutes were "morally defensible." And they told the court that the state is gradually moving toward full equalization of white and Negro school facilities by (Cntlaaeo Page Tea) COST OF LIVING NOTE LONDON, March 7 (JP) The government reported today it Is revising its cost-of-living guide, a list of representative items in everyday life.

The measures, Introduced by Reps. Molntire (R-Me), King (R-Pa) and Herlong, (D-Fla), are aimed particularly at removing price ceilings on Irish potatoes but slso named 36 other specific vegetables. 1 Mclntire said In a statement that price support is not needed to insure a plentiful supply of short-cycle vegetables "because they can be grown quickly and in greater quantities than they can be consumed, so that supply rapidly adjusts itself to demand and prices fair to producer and consumer." Price ceiling on such vegetables, he said, are impractical and "are self-defeating, because they discourage production and interfere with the quick adjustment of supply and demand."
