Washington, Oct. 16 UP) Livestock traders smashed the highest cattle prices on record today, the OPA took off all price restraints on vegetable fats and oils and the price decontrol board decided to keep butter and other dairy products equally free of controls. The nation's stockyards witnessed one of the wildest sessions ever seen, with hog prices forced up to the new record level established yesterday and cattle exceeding the" previous record set Aug.

30, the day before controls were reestablished. The price decontrol board announced that butter and cheese prices "have now risen to unreasonable level." but' added that under the accelerated decontrol program it had no choice but to leave dairy products control-free. "Recontrol of all or any part of the dairy industry would be inconsistent with the accelerated decontrol program announced by the President on October 14 when he directed that controls be lifted from livestock and meat," the board said. It held out no hope of lower prices on dairy products, saying: "It is expected that with the rising production of milk and the resumption of livestock slaughter, the pressure on prices of dairy products will be materially relieved." The OPA order on oils also freed from price control by-product feeds and mixed feeds for animals, because they are composed of grains with oil by-products added. Soybeans and flaxseed were likewise made Corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil.

flaxseed and soybean oil are all covered in the decontrol order, along with such familiar grocery items as shortening. Order Becomes Effective In its fats and oils order, which is effective tomorrow, OPA said that decontrol of such meat items as lard made it imperative to grant the same to competing vegetable oils. Housewives will notice the effects chiefly on olemar-garinet shortening, mayonnaise, salad dressings and cooking oi' From all over the nation came reports of much higher receipts of livestock than were anticipated pver night. Despite the increasing flood of truck-borne herds to terminal markets, the demand was still much greater than the supply. The run of hogs to major markets was three times as heavy as a year ago.

and cattle receipts were on a par with 1945. Prices were well above the now nullified OPA ceilings and generally higher on cattle and somewhat lower on hogs than yesterday, the first day of uncontrolled market oper-(Continued on Page Thirty-Five) See Cattle Prices Ordinance barring Negroes from living in residential tion of Alabama city, declared unconstitutional by U. S. District court judge. Birmingham, Oct.

16 (JP) U. S. District Judge Clarence Mullins yesterday declared unconstitutional an ordinance barring Negroes from living in a residential section, dismissed a second similar action, and took under advisement a motion to dismiss a third. The court held unconstitutional Tarrant city law prohibiting Negroes from residing in the Oak Lawn subdivision. The plaintiff, C.

H. Camp, said in his bill of information that he purchased the property in April and the ordinance was passed three months later. He told the court he -had sold 17 of the 20 lots comprising the fub-division to Negroes. In the second case involving property zoning, Judge Mullins sustained a motion by Birmingham city attorneys to" dismiss a suit brought by two white women, Mrs. Belle B.

Williams, Kingsport, and Mrs. Irma L. Corcoran, Marianna, Fla. The plaintiffs ask-' fd that, a Birmingham ordinance "eventing Negroes from living property owned by the two be held unconstitutional, court allowed them 10 days file an amended complaint. Judge Mullins also took under advisement a motion by city attorneys to dismiss a suit seeking $5,000 damages from the city for zoning a northside lot against use as a Negro residence.

The action was brought by Alice P. Allen, Negro school teacher. Citv attorneys said the ordinance was repealed last August.

Business was brisk at the fresh meat counters in the second day of control-free dealings. At least three of the biggest shops in York, closed during the slaughterers' four-week anti-OPA strike, announced they would be selling meat today. Some meat stands at market were expected to be in operation today also.

Housewives were paying 55 to 70 cents a pound for round steak; 39 to. 50 cents a pound for rib roasts, 40 cents per pound for hamburger, and from 45 to 60 cents per pound for veal in the isolated shops where it could be found. No pork was found on sale, and it is expected to continue very scarce. Large meat suppliers in the Philadelphia area indicated via the Associated Press that they intend holding their price increases to the margin reflected in the livestock markets which reached a new high yesterday. Permits To Join Sewer Issued For Four Prooerlies Owners of four of five proper ties first on city's outhouse riddance list take out permits to connect properties to sewer.

Official warns that check will be made to see that connections are completed. Owners of four of the five properties singled out for first action in the city's outhouse war have taken out permits to connect their properties to the city's sewer system, Andrew L. Litsinger, city superintendent of sowers, announced yesterday. The fifth owner has signified intention of taking out a permit. Notices to connect the houses were sent out several months ago to 86 property owners and on Aug.

30 City council approved a motion to advertise for bids to connect the first five properties. Plans and specifications already have been made of the five properties in preparation for advertising for bids. Although there is no guarantee that the job will be done even though the permit was lifted, Litsinger said authorities will keep after these places to see that something is done. The property owners probably prefer doing the job themselves, he said, because there is a ten per cent penalty imposed when the city has to do it or contract to do it. The city now will make plans and specifications of the next five properties.

The Political Scene- 7 Heavy Vote Nov. 5 Democratic Victory; Victory in next month's general election in York county may hinge basically on one factor: How many of the 85,046 registered voters will go to the polls A heavy vote Nov. 5 likely will favor the Democrats; a light vote may mean victory for the Republicans. Such, at any rate, has been the pattern of election results, both locally and nationally for more than a decade. At stake is the county's representation in- the 80th Congress, the Onvpmnr's mansion and the State Legislature.

When the county's voters go to the polls Nov. 5, they will help decide if Representative Chester H. Gross is to have a fourth two-year term as their congressman or whether it's time to change to Democrat John W. Brehm; if Republican Governor Edward Martin is to take Democratic Senator Joseph F. Guffey's 12-year seat; if.

Colonel Rice, in a campaign speech for Congressman John E. Sheridan, declared "By-berry is a sympton of the evil effects of Republican rule in city and state. "It's a challenge to every citizen, every organization, every every institution, public or private, in Philadelphia. "Byberry is a disgrace. Norristown is a scandal.

Every other mental hospital in the state is run down, under-staffed, overcrowded. "The Republican- machine is putting a large part of its campaign funds into billboards carrying a slogan 'Had Enough? It's a fair-question. Have you had enough of Republican administration in Philadelphia? "Have you had enough of Byberry? Have you had enough of wage taxes? Have you had enough of the Martin administration's refusal to take act'on on housing? Have you had enough of the Grundy machine in your state governments of up Likely Will Mean Light Vote, Defeat publican James H. Duff will govern Pennsylvania for the next four years. Their votes will decide also if Democrat Guy Leader will be returned to the State Senate over his Republican opponent Martin B.

Ebbert and "Whether Democratic candidates for the State Assembly, Felix S. Bentzel, Ralph E. Rudisill, James H. Krout or Republican candidates Judson E. Ruch, Chester G.

Wolf, George A. Goodling will represent them for the next two years. Crucial Issues At Slake Those of the county's 85,046 voters who cast their ballots will be voting also on the crucial issues that face the state and nation. Nationally, they will aid in the election of two members of the 80th Congress who will represent them on issues directly connected with the size of a worker's pay check, and the farmer's income; the price of milk, meat, rent and radios: whether the nation will win the peace and submerge a rising fascist tide or engage in an atomic war. On the state level the voters will decide by the men they choose the crucial issues of housing, aid for the veteran, a state -welfare program and generally whether the state administration will be liberal and progressive or conservative and reactionary.

Registration in York county has not changed much in the past ten years, but votes have been traditionally heavy and light-heavy in presidential years, light in the "Off-Year" Election The 1946 election ft an "off- year" election and if it follows the past trend in the county the vote will be and favorable to a Republican victory. However, the crucial issues facing the people may bring out a heavy vote that will elect Democrats. The 85,000 registered voters will decide in any case if they will follow the great American tradition and decide personally on the men and issues involved or if they will stay away from the polls and allow a minority to run the affairs the state and nation. The people's indifference to voting came to a head in 1942 when Republican victories were chalked in the state and nation while voters in great number stayed away from the polls. York county gave Martin a 600 majority over Ross in J942, mainly because only 55 per cent of the registered voters cast ballots.
