Publishers Urge 4 Cent First Class Stamp Increase
A Readers Digest official urged raising the first class letter rate from three to four cents in testimony to the House Post Office Committee. He warned a 100 percent increase in second class rates would devastate some publishers while easing the Post Office deficit. He noted a penny rise could generate about 150 million dollars annually and that wartime conditions might keep the Post Office profitable.

Judge Seeks to Bar Pension of Prison Inmate Casey
In New York, Judge Samuel Leibowitz vows to revoke ex-GI John C. Casey’s pension while he serves a 10 to 20 year sentence for manslaughter. Casey, 20, fatally beat Peter J. O Connor in a Brooklyn lumber yard after a drinking bout and already collects a $190 monthly life pension for a leg amputation from a wartime injury. The judge called it outrageous that Casey earns government benefits in prison and will seek maximum sentence plus pension revocation.

OPS to Crack Down on Meat Price Increases
Price enforcement officials will seek court orders to roll back meat price increases tied to higher live animal costs. Edward P. Morgan says reports from across the country show meat packers and processors raised prices believing higher live animal costs justify it. The general price freeze covers meat prices not the live animal costs, Morgan notes. Field agents conduct full investigations and will act promptly to restore frozen meat prices.
