Oklahoma City Teleophone rate hike approved by state commission
Oklahoma City reports the state corporation commission upheld an eight percent rate increase for Southwestern Bell Telephone, affecting 145 exchanges. If denied or reduced, customers may receive refund. The increase, tied to bond-funding and potential income, goes into effect after a court order and is part of nationwide moves to raise rates. Two Missouri hearings and other actions in progress are noted. Parallel items include a University of Kansas Red Cross first aid course attended by four teachers from Meade and Okaloosa, with instructors Justina Welk, Mergeret Welk, Hazel Jenkin, and Marietta Jenkins.

Boomerang in Civil Rights Bill Sparks Senate Standoff
James Marlow argues Truman’s call for a special session to push civil rights measures risks a Republican filibuster. Southern Democrats may block action on anti lynching and anti poll tax bills, leaving Truman’s Democrats positioned to be the obstacle. Senate committees already approved anti-lynching and anti-poll tax measures, but full Senate has not voted. Republicans could revive these bills at once when session opens.
