That doesn't help business and it seems to me dishonest to say it does. Flushing a deep red, Morgenthau Morgen-thau brilded at the blunt rebuke. "I am not being dishonest. Mr. President," he protested. "I don't think you are fair to me to say that. I have gone into this plan very carefully and I sincerely believe be-lieve it will help business."

Plan Agreed On Market Buyers Agree To A d ve rtise Three Grades Salt, Lake's leading- retail markets operators agreed today to-day to advertise three grades of strawberriesr with uniform prices, at "an important meeting meet-ing in "Salt Lake City. The move is expected to have salutary salu-tary effect in stabilizing the strawberry; market and enable growers to realize the cost of production pro-duction at least on the berries this season. The meeting, held at the Salt Lake City chamber of commerce, was sponsored by the agricultural committee of the Provo chamber of commerce. The retail grocers and super-market representatives agreed to meet twice a week during dur-ing the berry season, with a grower, grow-er, committee, to determine the prices to be advertised for each of the three grades of the Utah Marshall Mar-shall strawberrieli. Damaging Advertising In Aie past the strawberry market has often been completely demoralized through the avertising of low prices for Utah strawberries. strawber-ries. Although the berries so advertised ad-vertised were usually of an inferior infer-ior quality, the price structure for 'all strawberries was affected by such advertising. Present from Utah county at the meeting today were Seth Shaw, chairman of the agricultural com-rnitfee com-rnitfee of the Provo chamber of Commerce; Clarence Ashton, assistant as-sistant county agent; Victor J. Bird, Wyman Berg, directors, and Clayton Jenkins, secretary of the chamber of commerce; Alvin Iiuncefordeadinjr grower, and fcfaluatrCnecluliural com mittee of the Orem chamber of commerce; Clifford Tomlinson, leading Pleasant Grove grower. According to a statement by the growers, no profit can be realized on strawberries under 80 cents per case. The committee and . grower representatives rep-resentatives will meet with Provo anJ other grocers in a few days to effect similar agreements.
