Loyalist Dems in Texas Court ruling on anti Truman suit
Texas Supreme Court overturns lower court injunction in a suit by anti Truman Loyalist Democrats challenging Fort Worth party actions. The ruling centers on whether the District Court had jurisdiction to decide issues raised by Penrose and Mrs Smith while noting damages questions remained untouched. Justice G B Smedley dissented on key points, arguing courts have no jurisdiction in political question matters and that Loyalist officers should be removed from party roles.

Oleo Forces Claim New Victory In Tax Reform Fight
The oleomargarine bloc in Congress claimed a triumph over the daily states by a compromise version of the oleo tax repeal bill. The measure was advanced by both houses but still requires approval. The conference junked a triangular packaging provision for colored oleo and added labeling rules. Repeal of all federal taxes on margarine remained in play alongside other duties. The bill now requires oleomargarine or margarine to appear in letters at least as large as other words and in type no smaller than 20 point. Context includes FEPC debates and McCarthy related inquiries as part of a busy political agenda.
