Both bills would cut into the heart of Price Stabilizer Michael Di Salle's most ambitious plans by prohibiting further rollbacks in meat prices. This was in response to the clamor of cattlemen. Di Salle protested that if Congress held to its position, U.S. consumers would have to pay $2.5 billion more a year for goods and food...

Mao Tse-tung's regime announced the execution of 120 "counterrevolutionaries" at Canton, 56 at Swatow, 89 at Hankow, 28 at Kweilin. In scenes reminiscent of the tumbril-and-guillotine days of the French Revolution, the Communists turned the spectacle of death into public carnivals, with music and dances...
