Blackmail Claims Ties Tacoma Mayor Hopeful to UC Secret
Former Tacoma mayoral candidate and Tacoma contractor Eivind Anderson allegedly tried to blackmail Paul A. Olson, secretary to Rep. John Coffee, by threatening to reveal a $2,500 payment from 1941 if Olson did not drop out of the mayoral race. The Senate war committee heard Olson recount the pressure. In Canada, sugar prices rose three pounds per person for the rest of the year, lifting the annual ration to 31 pounds with extra coupons becoming valid through December to support home canning and industrial uses.

Peker Heads Turkish Government Post Amid Resignation
Ankara August six 1946 Recep Peker who fought with Ataturk in the 1920s moved to form a new Turkish government replacing Premier Sukru Saracoglu who resigned last night amid popular discontent over domestic policy and high living costs. The cabinet would await Peker’s naming of his new government possibly next Monday. Demonstrations by peasants and workers marked the mood as the 62 Democratic deputies accused irregularities in elections. President Ismet Inonu was reelected to a third four year term despite a solid opposition vote. Saracoglu had led since July 1942 with the present cabinet dating from March 1943.

Living Cost Index Up 1.9 and Inflation Warning
The Dominions Bureau of Statistics reports a 1.9 point rise in the cost of living index, lifting the total to 123.1 in July from 122.6 in June. Food, clothing, home furnishings, and health services drove the increase, with further inflation feared as postwar price adjustments spread. Mr. Gordon called the rise largely expected yet troubling, signaling a choice between controlled adjustment and sharp inflation. The rise reflects earlier adjustments in clothing and furniture and notes that full price effects at the retail level are not yet complete.
