Decoy funeral leads to separate wake in Nicosia turmoil
Cypriots used a decoy hearse to mislead British troops during the slain leader’s funeral at Metaxas Square. Two processions split from the same cortege as tear gas dispersed mourners, while a parallel real coffin moved to the cemetery unhindered. British forces later seized six gang members after a nighttime raid on Yialousa station, amid ongoing fatal attacks in the guerrilla campaign.

Paul M. Butler, Democratic national chairman, urged a congressional probe into the widening gap between farm and consumer prices in a Parkersburg speech. He noted farmers earned 40 cents of each food dollar while 1952 figures showed 47 cents, and he accused middlemen of profit as food manufacturers’ profits rose 23 percent from 1952 to 1955 while farm income fell 27 percent. Secretary Benson said Eisenhower backs examining possible improper profits by middlemen.
