OPS Relaxes Some Controls on Prices in Texas Cattle Case
Washington reported the Office of Price Stabilization relaxed retail and wholesale price controls on manufactured goods to allow adjustments to changes in selling prices. The move aims to relieve retailers and wholesalers from potential hardship under new price regulations, with expected mixed effects of price decreases and increases. Manufacturers must set ceilings at pre Korean levels plus cost increases and have until July 2 to comply. Wholesale buyers from a manufacturer who raised prices may recompute ceilings upward. if prices drop, selling prices must be reduced. The action targets those who had not yet raised prices since the January freeze and is temporary until detailed ceilings are set, excluding most food commodities. Price Director Michael DiSalle said the rollback brings beef prices within reach, rebutting cattlemen’s charges it is a hoax, in a TV appearance with Joe Montague of the Texas Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association.

New Trial Set In Murder Of James Mahoney
The State Supreme Court granted a new trial for Lewis Eugene Toover, who faced the death penalty for the murder of Innes A. Mahoney, a Bristol, Virginia magnate. The court said remarks by an assistant district attorney at Hoover’s trial influenced the reversal, citing defense objections to the closing argument about photos of the crime scene. The judge had disagreed with claims the remarks highlighted the defendant’s failure to testify. The ruling notes the assistant district attorney’s implication, though not malicious, violated constitutional rights.

Senate conferees reportedly plan a two step approach to resolve the universal military training stalemate. They would let Congress decide later how UMT works while the House drops its five member civilian controlled commission idea. The deadlock has delayed Naval action on draft act expansion since April 17. Russell D. Gay said views favor a reasonable compromise without harming national security. He canceled an afternoon Senate inquiry into Gen MacArthur to enable a conference committee meeting.
