I paid to have Topper shipped

has ever owned and one Of about
four he has ridden In films.
Hoppy, who Is William Boyd in

used to be-nor is Topper. But
they both hold their age.
Mrs. Boyd, an attractive blond
who acted in Aims in the '30s as

Topper looks younger than his
18 years because of his white
hair and pink skin. Hopalong has

effective Monday, dealers won't
be required to post lists of CELL

The changes announced by OPS
yesterday set the same prices for
chuck pot roasts and chuck steaks
of the arm and blade types. In
the original regulation. chuck arms
were listed at about 13 cents a
pound higher than chuck blades
Bringing them into line is in
tended to prevent dealers from
charging a higher price for the
blade chucks. an OPS spokesman
indicated. The two cuts are prac-
tically indistinguishable to the
consumer. 1t was explained.
Most stores customarily sell
plain "chucks," without going in
to detail as to the label. One
dealer expressed doubt today that
consumers would have paid the
higher price for the arm type
if OPS had retained it.
OPS yesterday also reduced the
new ceiling for rump roasts. with
the bone left in, by 5 to 6 cents
and that for English cut" roasts
by about IL cents. These aren't

terday filed civil antitrust suit
charging R. Hoe & Co., Inc, New
York printing press manufac-
turer, with engaging in restraints

international markets have been
divided to prevent competition in
designated areas.
The New York court was asked

legged agreements and to issue a
perpetual injunction against Hoe

Mr.. Lewis was chairman Of the
County Court, restored as govern
ing agency by Democrat legisla-
tion in February. An opposing
faction, the bipartisan Good Gov
ernment League. had refused to
surrender the power it won in a
1948 election which left three per-
sons dead by violence.
Highway Patrol Alerted.
The Tennessee highway patrol
was alerted for the possibility that
Mr.. Lewis Staying might touch
off a repetition of the 1948 fac
tional blood letting. Safety Com
missioner Sam Neal said last night
not many persons knew of the
Staying and that "if trouble comes
1T will come tomorrow.
Mr.. Lewis was shot as he took
his automobile to his garage after
returning with his family from a
trip to Cleveland, Is miles dis
Itant. at about II pm.
He walked a short distance to
his home. and DR.. John H. Lillard
was quickly summoned. Mr.. Lewis
shook his head when asked if
he knew who did the shooting.
He was placed in an ambulance
but was dead on arrival at an
Athens (Tenn) clinic, 30 miles
away.
Neighbor Tells of Shots.
Clyde Stevenson, a neighbor,
told Sheriff John Edwards he
heard the shots, fired at very
brief intervals. Mr.. Edwards said
the wounds were caused by either
a .38-caliber revolver or a rifle.
Three bullets struck Mr.. Lewis in
the chest. Two were so close to-
gether they punctured a package
of cigarettes in his pocket.
No clues were available as to
the assailant's identity. Mr.. Ed
wards theorized the ambush was
carried out by a single person.
Mr.. Lewis is survived by his widow
and a young daughter.
The county has been divided
into two political camps since
l948, when the GGL was formed
to combat the long
Democratci organization headed
by Burch Biggs. The GGL won
in l948. when National Guards
men were ordered to Benton. Mr..
Biggs, now almost 80, says he
has taken no part in subsequent

Iportation program.
The unions said the threat
Istemmed from the carriers rejec-
tion Of their latest peace offer.
Because of Army operation of
the railroads since they were
seized last August as part of the
dispute, the unions said, "the ad-
Iministration has foreclosed us
Iagainst striking"
But a union spokesman said
there was definite threat to
the morale Of those who ran the
trains. This dissatisfaction could
affect the efficient operation Of
the railroads, the spokesman said.
Offer Third Since December.
This is a timetable industry
and it cannot function with low
morale he told reporters.
The firemen, conductors and en-
IgineerS said their offer of April
I28, which the railroads rejected,
was the third since December 81.
That was the date Of an agree
ment at the White House which
was later turned down by the
union membership.

dents Of the three unions said.
They are J. P. Shields of the en-
gineers, D. B. Robertson of the
Iflremen and enginemen's brother
hood, and r. o. Hughes Of the
railway conductors.
Complain to Senate COMMITTEES.
Since the carriers refuse to
negotiate and have put their re-
fusal on record, management must
shoulder full responsibility for the
irreparable damage that is being
DONE" they said.
The union leaders, asserting that
the railroads have kept negotia-
tions in the ditch" since December
81. made their complaint to the
Senate Labor Committee, which is
about to report on the whole dis
pute and may reopen its hearings.
The carriers rejected the Union
offer to settle for a 33-cent hour
ly increase for those in yard serv-
ice and 1917 cents for those on the
trains. The railroads said they
would stand on the December 81
pact.
