His jukebox was disconnected and carted away. "I'm sorry," said his meat supplier. "There's three of you Negro grocers in the county and 175 of them, and they say if I sell anything to you three, they'll not buy another penny's worth."

But ultimately, India's economic stability will depend...
Prices, too, are still going up. They edged up another .01% in May, to reach a new high of 126.3 (1947-49=100). These higher prices in turn will trigger an automatic pay increase of 1? to 2? per hr. for 200,000 workers, mostly in the aircraft and meat-packing industries...
