Stackpole participated, Col. Mallan invited the brother of a Lolo leader to accompany him and one of the pictures shows the leader and his companions who gained much "face" by their flight. The American Army even then (July of last year) was mindful of the fact that little mercy would be accorded Air Force men who parachuted in that country "and invitation for their accompaniment on the flight was predicated on the theory that a more friendly feeling might be induced.

Bullet Cripples Electric Service In Pittsburgh Area Pittsburgh, Oct. 15, (JP) A rifle bullet fired into a 66,000 volt transformer today crippled electric service to the strike weary ttttsourgh area, causing power service to be shut off per lodicauy to communities in an 817 square mile area. Shortly after the damaging of the transformer, the Duquesne Light Company put into effect a rotating schedule of blackouts to the 1,500,000 inhabitants. A company spokesman said the reduction in available electricity made the curtailment necessary in the district, already operating on sharply reduced power service because of the 22 day strike by an independent union of electrical workers. The company warned rotation of service would be necessary for 24 hours, until repairs can be made to the damaged transformer.

They were scheduled to last from 15 to 30 minutes in each com munity. The first district to feel the ef fects of the voluntary blackout schedule were parts of Pittsburgh's North Side, suburban Bellevue and the city of Mc Keesport, where all electrical (Continued on Pae 11, Col. 4) Only Evening Anociated Press Newspaper la SINGLE COPIES Hirrisburg.

Steaks, Roasts Should De Back On Counters in About Ten Days Washington, Oct.

15, (JP) Steaks and roasts should be back on butcher counters within 10 days as a result of President Truman's action in ripping OPA controls off meat today. They're apt to be more than. a little tough, and prices undoubt edly will be sharply above cur rent ceilings. But whether the flow to market keeps up during the next few weeks and months will depend upon two prime factors the weather and slaughterers' bids. It is generally agreed there has been a tendency on the part of farmers since price ceilings were reapplied last month to withhold1 livestock from market in anticipa tion of larger returns.

The temporary suspension of controls during July and August brought a flood of animals to mar ket, and consumers feasted. But now the market movement may be somewhat slower starting than in July. At that time there was an urgency to sell before controls were slapped back on. There is no such urgency now. Furthermore, livestock men generally feel that prices will be good for another year at least.

As the immediately higher prices, the increase naturally will (Continued on Pag 11, Col 8) enng Washington, Oct. 15, (JP). Carrying out President Truman's orders, the OPA today officially ended price controls on livestock, meat and food and feed products made from them, effective at 12.01 a. m. today.

OPA Administrator Paul Porter also announced that "all slaughter controls were revoked so that quota restrictions will no longer apply" Government subsidy payments to the meat industry also are abolished. Porter said the OPA "will announce as soon as practicable the specific list of commodities on which ceilings will be retained." Commodities not on that list thus will be. decontrolled, he added. Meat Stocks Soar In Early Trading As Controls End New York. Oct.

The rush to buy meat packing shares was such that bids and of fers could not be straightened out for more than an hour after the The brief OPA announcement noted that "price ceilings must be retained on important commodates and services where demand is still in excess of supply." Examples of things that remain under price lids are "automobiles, farm equipment, household appliances, furniture, basic clothing items and building materials." The OPA statement said that "the President explained why there was no other possible form of action." This referred' to MfTruman's broadcast of last night in which he said decontrol of meat is the "only remedy" for the nationwide shortage. Listed on OPA's formal decontrol order are: "Livestock and food and feed products processed or manufactured in whole or substantial part from livestock (domestic and imported)." The OPA explained that a food or feed product "shall be deemed to be made in substantial part from livestock if it contains 33 13 (Continued on Page 11, Col.

Th Treasury stands to save well over $300,000,000 through President Truman's action in ending sub sidies on meats along with price controls. An official of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, which has been making the payments, said today that it appears only about $20,000,000 of the $400,000,000 Congress authorized for that purpose may be used.
