Supreme Lodge suspends New York Knights of Pythias charter
The Supreme Lodge suspended the Grand Lodge of New York for nonpayment of per capita taxes. The state organization covers about 80,000 members in 358 lodges, despite a prior injunction barring suspension pending a fall trial. The injunction concerned alleged lottery activity, not tax failure. The lump of text also references a rabbi death case, a slot machine indictment, and a Seattle tax probe blanketing unrelated items.

New Jersey dairymen oppose extending federal milk controls
M J Fears of New Jersey Dairymen's Council warns socialized milk would follow if federal controls reach New Jersey after a USDA hearing. Lloyd B Wescott says 13 North Jersey counties could join a larger northeast pool, risking a single regional system. State officials oppose federal control, arguing it weakens state authority and worsens surplus issues.

World Red Party Denial on Witness Stand China?
A two man panel of the subversive activities control board heard witnesses in New York as a government petition seeks to force the U S Communist Party to register. Elizabeth Gurley Flynn testified that there is no international Communist command structure and that Stalin is not an international leader issuing directives to other nations. The hearing included discussion of whether Communist parties globally align with Stalin’s influence, with Gurley suggesting ideological respect rather than direct leadership. A separate item notes Thelma Pearl Holcomb, mother of eight, pleaded guilty to selling firecrackers and was placed on probation. In Yokohama, a Soviet envoy departed, prompting questions about replacement as Maj Gen A P Kislenko cited Stalin’s peace message to Japan.
