MacArthur Denounces Coalition Plan as Prevarication
General Douglas MacArthur rejected as prevarication any suggestion he supported a 1944 1955 push to unite Chinese Communists and Nationalists. In a telegram to Senator Knowland he called such efforts a great diplomatic blunder for which the free world pays in blood and disaster. He insisted no inference from his statements or actions supported backing a Communist coalition against freedom.

Retail Group Urges Controls Be Lifted On Meat Prices
A group of retail meat dealers in Chicago urged Congress to end price controls on meat as beef cattle sales at national livestock markets fell to a three year low. They warned continued controls could keep meat scarce and boost illegal markets. The appeal was disclosed by George Nepil, executive secretary of the National Association of Retail Meat and Food Dealers, which represents about 70,000 dealers. The association filed briefs with Senate and House committees urging no extension of price controls on rent and livestock beyond June 30.
