'lnqeks Union ftocklam LOS ANGELES UNION STOCK YARDS March, 1950 Some further loss was registered in the cattle market this week'on rather narrow buying demand. Packers reported a slow trade for fresh beef with rates being lowered. Although salable supplies of cattle here were only moderate and slightly smaller than a week ago, stocks of beef in most coolers were rather heavy because of inshipments of dressed beef. In the meantime, hog prices ruled mixed. Prices opened lower but the loss was regained before the close with packing sows ending higher. Quality of the cattle run showed little change this week, although cow numbers were a little more liberal. Steer, yearling and heifer quotations declined from 50 to 75 cents during the first two days, but by Wednesday the decline was halted and trading was conducted on a steady basis for the balance of the week. Cow prices lost about .$1.00 per cwt. compared with the close of last week. Bulls are around 50 cents lower. Vealers ended up steady, but slaughter calves are around $1.00 lower. -- IN 'HYDE Franklin r i, PARK, NEW YORK, U.S. Archivist Wayne Grover and Mrs. D Roosevelt, widow of the late President, examine a box con-t- -i me of FDR's personal papers on the eve of the opening of tha i v ri inpors to researchers.

Rent Refund Demand By Gov. Lee Puts Spotlight on "Irregularity" A check for $1032 that was four-mont- hs in transit between the state of Utah and Davis county, was occupying the attention of county and state officials this week. The matter came out when J. Bracken Lee ordered Atty. Gen Clinton D. Vernon to take action to recover $1032 in state road funds paid for the rental of county road equipment in the winter of 1949. According to information released the story is as follows; A claim for $1032 for rental on the road equipment was made out by a Davis county road employee, at the authorization of county commissioner Amasa R. Howard, in March of this year. The employee made the claim out payable to himself instead of to Davis county. The claim was approved by the state road commission and the check for $1032 was given to the employee. Later, while some papers were being cleaned out of the state road commission sheds, a duplicate copy of the claim was discovered and turned over to county officials at Knits for Red Cross Most of the high medium and low good grade steers and yearlings here this week sold from $25.50 to $27.00 with several loads reaching $27.25 and one load $27.35. Strictly medium grade steers and yearlings sold largely from $24.00 to $25.00 with only real common offerings under little-encounter- ed w to $14.00 and feeder pigs from $20.00 to $23.50. The lamb run was very small again, but the trade had a steady undertone. A few medium and good wooled lambs sold from $24.25 to $24.50 with plainer kinds at $23.00 and down.
