Ceiling prices on lean pork—from
hams to chops—jumped from one
to 8 cents a pound Tuesday.
The Office of Price Stabilization
authorized the higher pork prices
Monday night to conform with a
provision in the new economic con-
trols law requiring higher hog
prices during the summer months.
OPS said the increase was season-
al and the ceilings will probably be
lowered again after October.
Ceilings were increased by one
cent a pound on pork shoulders, by
three cents on hams, bellies, Boston
butts and neck bones, and by eight
cents on loins and spareribs. These
cuts account for 40 to 45 per cent
of pork sales. Sausages-are not af-
fected.
The higher ceilings, effective Im-

O’Dwyer May Become

By ROBERT PRESCOTT
MEXICO CITY, July 30^-(UP) —
Ambassador William O'Dwyer drop-
ped hints to friends Tuesday he may
became a Mexican citizen when he
puts away his diplomatic duds next
January.
The former New York mayor, an
extremely popular figure in this col-

said the prospect of taking up per-
manent residence here was "at.
tractive."
An accident involving a 7-up
Bottling truck and a truck loaded
with a group of Negroes occurred
at the underpass north of town
on the Yoakum highway Monday
afternoon. According to Chief of
Police Bin Hartman, both trucks
were travelling in the same di-
rection ' when the 7-up truck
driven by W. E. Eichholz, slowed
down for construction work that
was in progress. The Negro’s
truck, unable to stop for lack of
brakes, swerved to the right in an
effort to climb the embankment
of the underpass and avoid the
collision. No one was injured in

LOS ANGELES, July 39 (UP)—
A short, rolling earthquake, ap-
parently a settling shock from
last wetir’s disastrous "killer”
quake, jolted southern California
early Tuesday, causing at least one
fire.
The quake struck at 13:04 am.
It felt like a aeries of short
choppy wave*.
No damage was reported in the
Los Angeles area, but the Bakers-
field fire department said the
shock touched off one fire there.
The fire department there said
the fire resulted when the quake
ripped out wiring in the attic of
a home. More than 300 persons
who saw flashes from swaying
wires during the quake called the
department to report fires.
Bakersfield was jolted by
other, lighter quake at 1:01 am.
In Tehachappi, where 11 person*
died tn the temblor last week,
Tuesday's shock was felt strongly,
but the sheriff’s office reported no
further damage to the town.
