Beef Price Rollback Won't Be Rescinded Says DiSalle
Washington June 5. Price Director Michael V DiSalle warned cattlemen they should not expect reversal of the rollback order. A 75 minute White House conference with President Truman and western cattle raisers followed. Pack ers reported production slowdowns with some workers laid off while DiSalle predicted the shortage would not trigger further rollbacks and that the situation would straighten out soon. Local observers noted ample beef supplies in most areas but Chicago faced greater shortages per DiSalle.

Airport Ruling Bans Color Discrimination at Kanawha Terminal
Federal Judge Ben Moore ruled that color or racial bans may not govern service in the coffee shop and restaurant at Kanawha Airport Terminal Building. He enjoined the Kanawha County Court and Sky Chefs Inc. from continuing the practice, upholding that denying service based on race is unlawful in a publicly funded facility. The injunction follows a petition by Anderson H. Brown of Charleston and others, backed by the Charleston Branch of the NAACP, citing multiple instances of denial of service to Negro patrons and alleging violation of the 14th Amendment.
