Hollywood stabilizer seeks wage and price freeze
Eric Johnston, now leading the economic stabilization push, urges a quick federal freeze on wages and prices. Johnston, former four term president of the United States chamber of commerce, leads the new drive at the ESA after replacing Alan Valentine at the Motion Picture Association of America. President Truman may sign an order broadening Johnston's powers to include credit and rent controls as DiSalle warns action may be delayed by technicalities. Flooding the week, the railroad sector seeks an immediate six per cent freight-rate rise to cover rising costs.

Hartshorn Dies in Trailer Burn From Oil Burner Explosion
William Edward Hartshorn, 63, a carpenter and painter, was burned to death when oil from a heater exploded as he slept in his two room trailer at the west edge of town. Firemen battled the blaze after a police officer found the trailer ablaze around 11 pm. Coroner Herman A. Stuessy ruled the death accidental due to the oil burner explosion. The Hartshorn home was one of several in a trailer camp on 12th street. Hartshorn, born in Bethany Township Missouri, November 8, 1868, had served six years in the Missouri National Guard and was married to Alma DeNure. Graveside services were held at Greenwood Cemetery later that afternoon.
