Throughout the nation housewives who did not get to butchers' counters early were in luck if they found bologna or frankfurters. Thousands of housewives could find no butcher shop open in their neighborhoods. The National Association of Retail Meat Dealers estimated that at least 36,000 butchers had closed; many had dismissed their employes indefinitely. In Olympia, Wash., most butchers opened only two days a week - and hoped that a little something to sell would come along. In all Boston there was not enough beef to stock one good-sized meat store.

...reporters on Chicago's grimy police beat are not likely to be treated with courtesy. But this one was. Last week at the East Chicago Avenue station, the police lieutenant on duty deferentially showed him the lockup, the blotter, wished him the best of luck. At the County Building, Coroner A. L.

Mostly hothouse trained on flossy indoor courts, they had managed with luck and Nordic determination to cop the European crown. Last week in the interzone final at Forest Hills, the U.S. squad blew the Swedes off the court, 5-0. U.S. Singles Champion Jack Kramer and ex-Champion Frank Parker breezed through their singles matches with the loss of just one set; National Doubles Champions Bill Talbert and Gardnar Mulloy just squeezed out an 8-6 fifth...
