Mr. Truman warned that it
will permit rent hikes in many
cities after September 30 and
clear the way for increases in
prices of milk, vegetables, fruits,
fertilizer and some other goods
and services.
Arnall, relieved to find he had
any real price control authority
left at all, said the law "is not
as strong as we had hoped for
but it could have been very
much weaker than it is."
Vegetables Exempt
He based his cost-of-living pre
diction mainly on the act's ex
emption from price controls of
all fruits and vegetables. They
make up 20 per cent of the aver

an announcement from the Paci

The Mail Tribune, radio sta

coaxial cable which runs through
Medford, and "pipe" it to sets
to be installed at the Elks tem

Negotiations with Columbia
Broadcasting system, which has
rights to the TV cable here, con

giving CBS' OK to the project.
But the telephone company ex

to be brought here and installed
at considerable expense, would

Denounces Decision
Chicago (UP) The Re

Wednesday voted unanimous
ly lo seat an Eisenhower Kan
sas delegate over a Taft supporter.
Chicago (U.R) The Taft
steamroller with the whistle tied
down was crushing all opposi
tion Wednesday in delegate con
tests before the Republican na
tional committee.
Seventeen Georgia delegates
pledged to Sen. Robert A. Taft
were seated shortly after noon
by a whacking 62 to 39 vote in
preference to the Eisenhower
"regulars."
Alphabetical Older
The committee is taking up
contests in alphabetical order
with bitterly disputed Texas
last. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
can have a compromise if he
wants it, but on Taft's terms.
Eisenhower's strategists have
decided to take their lumps
in committee and carry the
fight to the convention floor
next week, on appeal.
Eisenhower's campaign man
ager. Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge,
denounced the Georgia decision
of the national committee as an
other "Texas steal."
Mjve Criticized
Senator Lodge said:
"No wonder the Taft-domin-ated
national committee wanted
to keep television, newsreel and
radio out of their sessions.
"They have just voted to seat
the so-called Foster delegation
from Georgia. This is not just
steamroller, this is another Tex
as steal."
Lodge added:
"The Taft machine may think
that they have won a temporary
victory but they will find that
public opinion will not stand for
such disgraceful shennanigans
and that the action of the com
mittee will be reversed in the
credentials committee and on
the floor of the convention."
Seet First Ballot Win
Taft condfidently told news

that he was looking for a first
ballot nomination.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's
spokesmen countered with
claims that they were chipping

could speed the process.
