STRONG ACTION

i Mendes-France got. enthusiastic cheers when he promised strong action in dealing with the leaks to the Communists or military secrets from France's national defence council. Revelation of the leaks last month set off Fran:-e's biggest security scandal since the end of the war.

Food Prices Threaten To Climb is

London Dock Strike

LONDON (APi - The London dock strike has not seriously driven food prices upward yet. but retailers say that if it continues much longer prices are bound to rise.

With the strike in its ltth day this was the food picture Sunday:

Meat i the main concern. Dom- sstic butzhsring has up to how as- sured the stores of good suppliel. but the peak is past. British farm- ers earlicr in the autumn brought their main stocks to market.

Housewives. particularly London- ers. areidepending more and more on imported mcats which must be unloaded from refrigerator ships. The government may have to ask for troops to move the food al- ready on ships in port.

Supplies of imported bacon. but- ter and cheese have not yet dwindled to the danger point. but

ndon wholesalers have had to ring in Danish bacon and eggs from Hull and Hnrwlch.

Neither beef nor bacon prices have increased noticeably in the last two weeks.

EGG IITUATYON

The national egg marketing or- gsnlsation said that because of the strong demand on the continent of Europe for eggs-plus the fact of the dock strike-fewer imported eggs are available. but home sup- plies are good right now.

Large English eggs range from 64 to lT7V: cents a dozen. Imported eggs range from 7.'i'.& cents a dozen for medium to large to 84 cents for choice.

English bacon is now selling for 56 cents a pound for lean favored variety. Danish bacon of compar- able quality brings the same price. Fair quality British beef is going for 63 to '10 cents a pound with steak cuts as high as 01 cents. English beef is about four cents a pound higher than imported beef.
