Wiley brandishes skillets to mock OPA policy on meat prices
In Washington Senator Wiley waved three aluminum skillets on the senate floor to illustrate OPA price ceilings harming American business. He accused the agency of favoritism toward new firms, likening it to fascism as a spokesman for corn belt stock feeders called for end to meat price controls. The La Crosse segment covered a separate May 3 meeting where the Logan choir of over 60 voices performed sacred works at the Business Men's Club, with a clarinet quartet during intermission, and local traffic meeting preparations noted for May 8.

Will Allow 2 Cent Rise In Copper Price
Senator McFarland said the OPA would grant a 2 cent per pound copper price rise if disputed labor contracts are settled by an 18.2 cent an hour wage increase. He cited cost-figures from mining firms and noted labor costs must rise first to justify the ceiling move from 12 to 14 cents. He added that lead and zinc could receive a similar adjustment.
