Iowa Restaurant Situation Returns to Normal After Delays
Des Moines reports indicate Iowa restaurant operations are returning to normal. The state association says restaurant closings in 15 communities have been postponed pending a Washington meeting between the National Restaurant Association and the OPA de-control board. Cafes are urged to stay open and to contact the state association if meal price adjustments are hard to obtain. In Milwaukee, Judge F I Ryan Duffy refused a permanent injunction against OPA rollbacks, citing lack of U S jurisdiction over OPA matters and Congress's limits on court power.
