Prices
People make bumbling bids
By C. W. ORR
United Press International
It’s amateur week at the Cow
Palace in San Francisco.
People who like their beef,
but can’t get it in the
supermarket, have flocked to a
public auction of feedlot cattle
to make bumbling bids for beef
on the hoof.
In other news about food
prices, a consumer organization
accused major canners of
holding supplies off the market
until price controls are lifted.
Del Monte Corp, said consum
ers were hoarding canned
goods in hopes of beating a
price increase.
The Cow Palace auction
continues through Thursday. It
drew about 200 persons, most of
them inexperienced in auc
tioning, on opening day Satur
day.
In the first hour, only 21 head
were sold. Most of the bidders
simply did not know how to bid.
“If this was a professional
cattle auction, we’d have 3,000
head sold by now,” Mike
Domich, co-owner of Marks
Cattle Co. of Zamora, Calif.,

Estimates show that over half the '
heat in a home is lost through the walls
and ceilings, with the greatest loss through the roof.
With proper insulation on your attic floor or roof, you can reduce
that loss and save up to 20% on your heating bill every year.
Good insulation serves you well in summer, too, by keeping
hot air outside, when intense heat can raise the roof temperature
as high as 160 degrees. And if you have an air conditioning unit,
insulation helps keep the cool air inside the house.
Proper insulation is just one way to conserve precious fuel.

Price About the Same
The purchasers paid about
the same as they would for
supermarket beef—if they could
get any. The buyers apparently
are trying to insure eating beef
while supplies are down and
avoid paying higher prices
when price controls are lifted
next month.
A dressed steer yields about
400 pounds of edible meat.
The Armour Meat Co. had
representatives at the Cow
Palace buyers could contact to
make arrangements to ship
their cattle to a slaughter
house.
The Food Action Campaign
asked the government to
investigate charges that can
ners were holding their pro
ducts off the market.
“No doubt,” said Pennsyl
vania Agriculture Secretary
James McHale, a spokesman
for the group, “they will use
these shortages to argue for
price increases in stage two of
Phase IV, which is due on Sept.
12. Then they will release their
hoarded goods for sale to
consumers at higher prices and
they will enjoy still higher
prices.”
McHale made his comments
in a speech to be given today at
a regional AFL-CIO convention
in Baltimore.
The group has asked the
Federal Trade Commission to
investigate and break up large
food canning companies,
McHale said.
Hoarders Deplete Stocks
In San Francisco, James
Schmuck, group vice president
of Del Monte Corp., said
hoarders hoping to beat a price
increase had depleted stocks of
the company.
“There’s absolutely no reason
for consumers to hoard,” he
said.
Schmuck said higher labor
and material costs would bring
a price increase of about 6 per
cent for goods canned i»’ the
coming season. If pass .u on at
the retail level the hike would
be about 4 per cent, or one cent
a can.
While admitting that canned
goods packed in the 1972 season
are “severely depleted” by
hoarders, Schmuck said any
shortages “will be strictly short
term.”
Shoppers in Fairbanks, Alas
ka, near the end of the food
distribution chain, are feeling
the pinch.
The manager of a Fairbanks
food store said he had not seen
a 50-pound bag of flour in more
than a month. Egg prices have
increased from 79 cents to $1.04
in 2% weeks. Canned meats
and cooking oil are in short
supply.
Carter
pleased
with tour
Gov. Jimmy Carter says he
was “pleased” with his eight
day tour through west Georgia
and has returned more firmly
convinced of the need for life
sentences for the peddlers of
hard drugs.
Speaking at an impromtu con
ference Sunday on the lawn of
the Governor’s Mansion, Carter
said one of the factors which
convinced him he should seek
legislation calling for life sen
tences for convicted pushers
was a talk with the local sheriff
in La Fayette.
The Governor said one of the
main concerns of the people he
spoke with was the feeling of
many that government was be
coming too remote. Carter said
since Watergate more people
were worried over government
operating behind closed doors.
“One of the most important
things an elected official can do
is to remember where he got
his office from,” said Carter
explaining why he went on the
extended tour which some crit
ics have claimed was strictly
“political”.
Getting into the area of
politics, Carter said he didn’t
think Lt. Gov. Lester Maddox
would win the gubernatorial
race in 1974, and declined to
endorse a candidate for mayor.
The governor said he also
found that people were preoc
cupied with rising costs and
the state of the economy. He
termed President Nixon’s meth
od of dealing with the country’s
finances as a “slapstick ap
proach to the economy.”

Honor student guilty
of killing 10 people
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (UPI)
— Herbert V. Mullin, 26, a high
school honor student who
turned to drugs and mysticism
and believed murder was an
“act of love,” stood up calmly
to be manacled Sunday after a
jury pronounced him guilty of
10 slayings.
Defense attorney James
Jackson termed the verdict,
which came after hours of
deliberations, “as insane as
Mullin is.”
Mullin, wearing a orange
prison jumpsuit, said nothing
and was led quietly to his jail
cell to await a Sept. 18
sentencing on the findings of
two counts of first degree
murder and eight of second
degree murder.
“What was in their minds
was fear,” Jackson said of the
six-man, six-woman jury.

“They were afraid he was
going to get out and kill
somebody—which is not an
unreasonable consideration.”
Mullin admitted slaying 13
persons in a three-week period
during which he received
“telepathic messages” that the
killings were needed as
“human sacrifices” to prevent
a cataclysmic earthquake in
California. He was charged
with 10 murders and entered an
insanity plea.
During his 12-day trial,
Mullin took the stand and
described in detail how he shot
to death a mother and her two
young sons, four teen-agers
living in a mountainside camp,
a drug dealer and his wife and
an elderly fisherman. He also
admitted but was not charged
with stabbing and stomping a
priest to death in a confessional
and shooting two other persons.
McGovern says
impeach talk
is premature
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen.
George S. McGovern says that
if President Nixon defies a
court order to release tapes of
his Watergate-related conversa
tions Congress will “have no
other recourse” but to consider
impeachment.
McGovern said Sunday he
believed it was “premature”
for anyone in Congress to be
advocating impeachment at this
time.
“But ... if the President
remains steadfast in his refusal
to turn over the tapes, even if
the courts hold that he has an
obligation to do so, then the
Congress will have no other
recourse except to give serious
consideration to impeachment.”
McGovern said that when
Nixon withheld the recordings
and other material he made it
“very hard for us to accept the
argument that he advices that
he had nothing to do either with
the cover-up of the Watergate
incident or its original plan
ning.”
Oral arguments are sche
duled in federal court here
Wednesday by attorneys repre
senting the President and
Special Prosecutor Archibald
Cox in their dispute over
disclosure of the tapes.
A decision on whether Nixon
must comply with Cox’s subpo
enas for the recordings may
come by the end of the week,
but it is certain to be appealed.
Attorney General Elliot L.
Richardson said Sunday he
believed Nixon would surrender
the tapes if the courts order
him to do so. Richardson said
he believed Nixon’s attorneys
had presented “a very strong
case” in the legal arguments
they have submitted to the
court. He was asked if Nixon’s
statements on Watergate went
far enough to answer the
allegations against him.
Phone helped
mother save
her child
EVERETT, Wash. (UPI) -
“Quickly!” the panic-stricken
young mother said on the
telephone. “He’s drowning.”
Maureen Sweet, 20, called
police Friday evening after she
pulled her 14-month-old son’s
limp body from a wash tub.
“Hurry!” she cried. “What
do I do? How do I give mouth
to-mouth resuscitation? ”
Police dispatcher Bill Pyles
immediately called an aid car,
then began telling Mrs. Sweet
how to keep little Jeremy from
dying.
She left the phone and he
listened. There was a muffled
cry in the background.
“Is he breathing on his
own?” he asked when she came
back.
“A little bit,” she said.
“What do I do? What do I do?”
Pyles continued his instruc
tions until the air car arrived,
just six minutes from the time
Mrs. Sweet called police. By
that time, Jeremy was crying
loudly.
He was given oxygen and
taken to a hospital, where he
was reported in good condition.

“I think he has done all that
he can do consistently with
maintaining the principal that a

Richardson said.

Like so many independents
Duke was cut off by his sup
