Council Rejects All Fire Department Radio System Bids
Phoenix City Council rejects all bids for a new Fire Department radio system as too high and directs City Manager Ray W. Wilson to issue a fresh call for bids covering a unified frequency modulation system for both Police and Fire Departments. The manager noted separate systems would be impractical. The meeting also covered land quit claims, eminent domain for Black Canyon Highway access, street extension deeds, a water gate valve bid, a Sky Harbor barracks lease, and a sewer assessment protest ruling.

Blonde Wallace Fined For Drunk Driving
Blonde Jean Wallace, former wife of Franchot Tone, paid 60 fines today on two counts of drunk driving and was released without probation. Russia revalued the ruble and cut food and clothing prices, placing the ruble on a gold basis and shifting to four rubles per dollar. Secretary Dean Acheson told senators he would not tolerate disloyalty in the State Department and denied involvement in Alger Hiss offenses. The government’s contempt case against the coal miners union neared a wind-up with four to five more witnesses. About 200 fishermen were marooned on Lake Erie as a 25 mile per hour wind disrupted a shifting ice pack.

Farmers Seek Way To Avert Added Tax
Arizona agricultural producers moved quickly to oppose state sales taxes on their products potentially adding up to five million dollars annually to tax bills. Following a Supreme Court ruling that farmer-processors are taxable, a noon luncheon at Hotel Adams was called to discuss implications as the Legislature meets in special session. Leaders said an immediate study of the decision would be followed by efforts to nullify the ruling through legislation. The court said producer processors face sales tax up to two percent when processing for wholesale or retail distribution. The ruling affects all who process goods including dairies date growers and citrus producers connected with co operatives.
