President Truman ordered a federal ethics rule banning gifts from anyone doing business with the government. He urged officials to refuse favors, loans, or entertainment amid graft probes and reports of gifts to agency workers. The policy, urged by Raymond Foley of HHFA, was released as a public example of how the government handles such concerns.

Jury Disagrees In Elkton Church Trial
In Elkton the Circuit Court jury trying Clarence Frock for attempting a church robbery at Pleasant Hill last month failed to reach a verdict after nearly four hours. Judge Floyd J. Kintner declared a mistrial and planned another trial date. Defense witnesses placed Frock at a drive-in theater during the alleged incident. Earlier testimony from Rev. Paul Hilbert described a man in shiny blackface with a rifle at Holiness Christian Church, but he did not positively identify Frock.
