CH AN DAILY raping Holes Appear n Michigan Price Line' Heavier Inroads on Consumer Pockets Seen As Result of OPA Upheaval Farm U00C I Confusion, Prices. By The Associated Press Michigan attempted to hold fast against a steady upward surge in prices Tuesday. but gaping holes be- gan to appear in the battle lines. Livestock- prices showed a tenden- cy to rise higher than packers had anticipated, and this, with smaller Instead of increased supplies, brought heavier inroads upon consumers' pocketbooks. Rents on Rise Rents, too, were on the rise, with the number of cases reported to OPA offices growing by the hour. - Detroit retail meat dealers swung into a unified boycott of packers charging exhorbitant prices. Whole- salers contended they were operat- ing at the same or a smaller margin of profit and asserted only a public curtailment of purchasing could stop the spiral. Demands for a buyers' strike came from several groups, including the United Automobile Workers - CIO, through its president, Walter P. Reu- ther; Michigan CIO council president August Scholle; and the Michigan area council of the American Veter- ans',Committee. Beef' UP A survey of wholesalers showed beef which sold for 21%Y cents a pound Saturday was selling Tuesday for 41 and 42 cents. Frankfurters Jumped from 29 to 40 cents a pound and sausage from 31 to 43 cents. Retailers in most instances passed along the price increases and res- taurants reflected them on menus. Car Racketeers Traied by U.S. From Detroit DETROIT, July 2-(P)-The gov- ernment continued today to trace automobiles from the streets of De- troit to the Cairo, Ill., auction lot which OPA has described as a hub of a $3,000,000 illegal used car ring. Seven defendants are on trial be- fore an all-woman jury in federal court, charged with conspiring in what OPA has labelled "the nation's largest used car black market." Twenty-two have pleaded guilty. Names of five of the seven on trial were brought into the record again today as assistant U.S. attorney Jo- seph Murphy continued his policy of calling to the stand Detroiters who sold cars to the defendants, and fol- lowing them with southern dealers who made over-ceiling purchases at Cairo. 'Wildcat' Strike Sends Plyemouth Workers Home DETROIT, July 2-(P)--Chrysler Corp. announced today that it was compelled to send 5,000 Plymouth division workers home at noon be- cause of what it described as a "wild- cat" strilee of 93 employes in the Plymouth tire and wheel depart- ment. The company statement said the workers complained because they had not been paid for a half hour when the plant suspended operations be- cause of a lack of bodies. Hold Your Bonds Some wholesale meat prices in De- troit were doubled. To combat the growing trend, Alex- ander Bell, president of the retail meat merchants' association, said retailers would pay only prevailing OPA prices plus an increase of ap- proximately seven cents to absorb the loss of government subsidy. Almost a lone bright spot in the picture was in fruits anG vegetables. The Detroit Union produce terminal manager reported there was a plen- tiful supply available, with prices "easing." Rents Doubtful From some landlords and hotel managers came announcements thatl there would be no increase in rents, at least temporarily, but these appar- eitly were in the minority. The OPA office reported receiving 428 reports of rent boosts ranging from 10 per cent to 300 per cent. Price increases even extended to Detroit parking lots, many of them hiking prices five to 10 cents an hour. At Grand Rapids, prices were re- ported soaring in grocery stores and meat markets, OPA authorities said. Butter was selling there at $1.50 a pound, an OPA price clerk said. Cube steaks rose from a ceiling of 55 cents to 90 cents while hamburger jumped 19 cents a pound from its former price. UAW-CIO officials in Flint de- manded that their international of- fices immediately reopen wage ne- gotiations. There still was no- official inter- vention by either state or local gov- ernments, although Gov. Harry F. Kelly issued a statement appealing to landlords, producers and mer- chants "not to yield to greed and self- ishness." Mayor Edward J. Jeffries of De- troit said he would telegraph Michi- gan congressmen urging them to vote for a stopgap OPA resolution.t Unmonists Clash In Hollywood HOLLYWOOD, July 2-()P)-Rival AFL unionists engaged in bloody clashes at two movie studios today. Many were bruised, two required hos- pitalization and four were arrested. Production was slowed generally. Peace feelers went out a few hours later from the strikers, who were denied immediate support from the Los Angeles AFL Council last night. As last fall, the pickets are mem- bers iof the conference of studio un- ions, headed by Herbert Sorrell, and the gate-crashers were members of the International Alliance of Theatri- cal and Stage Employes. Intervention by high AFL officials nationally end- ed the 1945 dispute, after scores were injured and jailed. The two factions have long been at odds on jurisdictional matters. Both enlist members from various trades-carpenters, electricians and the like. Among the pickets' signs were some saying "this is not a juris- dictional fight." By The Associated Press Record-high cattle prices and above-ceiling . premiums for hogs brought farmers to the nation's live- stock markets in droves yesterday as buyers and sellers groped uncer-! tainly in the confusion left by OPA's 'end. This was the situation: Stocks steadied. Cotton futures fell off. Wool was up. Textiles didn't budge from OPA ceilings and none was offered for sale. Poultry jumped 7 to 10 cents a-pound, Flour Upped. Flour reappeared at OPA-plus prices but below black market.quo- tations. Cattle hit $22.50.

Outrages ii Palestine Detenltion Cdip Cited LONDON, July 2'-(P)--The Jew- ish agency for Palestine accused Pal- estine police tonight of using "med- ieval tortures" against Jews in the Athlet detention camp near Haifa and asserted Jews were "beaten up, given enemas, and pulled by the sex- ual organs." The agency declared some victims "probably will remain crippled for life." A spokesman for the British co- lonial office said the office had received no reports of mistreat- ment, and that "the allegations seem absolutely unfounded."

L qor Control Board Refuses Permit Appeals LANSING, July 2-(P)-Four ap- peals from license revocations were denied by the state liquo' control commission today and a fifth license was ordered cancelled.

Coppola, 4462-72 Chene, Detroit, and Walter.Bukowski, 108 Washing- ton, Bay City. Chairman John P. Aaron said Cop- pola and Failla were penalized be- cause they suppressed the fact that former State Senator Joseph C. Roosevelt, a brother of Coppola, was a one-third owner of the business. The Saginaw Bay Yacht Club, of Essexville, lost its license on the grounds it had failed to eliminate slot machines as ordered by the com- mission. Confronted with petitions for two class "C" licenses in Whitehall, where the voters recently approved liquor-by-the-glass, the commission asked the village council to decide between the two applicants, Conrad C. and Louis Quint and John Fiel- stra. Under the statutory limitation only one license is allowed in that community.
