Four More Days OPA Clings to Meat Control
OPA maintains plan to restore meat price ceilings by September 9 despite a 13 hour delay that left live animals free of controls for four extra days. Estimates show beef up about five and a half cents per pound and pork up two and a half to three cents per pound versus June 30 ceilings, still below current costs. Secretary Clinton P Anderson and the agriculture department agreed on the figures after a sharp dispute, with Anderson authorizing a $2.25 per hundred beef hike and $1.40 per hundred pork. The CIO called this the climax of a long series of profit protection actions and questioned whether the President backs Anderson's decision.

All Parties to Be Included in New Government
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek reportedly approved a five member committee headed by American Ambassador John Leighton Stuart to clear the way for a coalition government including all parties. The plan aims to unite Kuomintang and minor parties in a 40 man state council to govern until a permanent administration is formed after the November national assembly. Premier Soong named Wu Te-Chen and Chang Li-Sheng to sit with Communists Chou En-Lai and Tung Pi-Wu at the talks, as fighting in the north intensifies and the Communists resist a constitution without a voice. The committee may start early next week, with balance among parties the key hurdle.

Rain Lifts Crop Prospects in Raleigh County
Heavy rain drenched Raleigh County after a long dry spell, boosting yields and saving winter hay stocks. H B Thomas, county farm agent, calls the inch of rainfall a crop saver for tomato and potato harvests, with blight control measures and spraying programs contributing to a bumper season despite early frosts and May to June wet spells. The rain will help late tomatoes, corn, and beans, and a WVU extension report notes success in using fixed copper to curb tomato blight across the county.
