Dalhart shooting deaths and defense draft cuts reported
Dalhart reports the fatal shotgun shooting of William Frank Davenport a 53 year old farmer at his home. His daughter Anna Lou Davenport 18 is recovering at Dalhart Hospital and has given a statement. Other family members were involved in prior legal actions. Separate from the homicide, Washington notes Assistant Secretary Anna Rosenberg says the Army will begin releasing enlisted reservists by September and trims May draft calls from 60 000 to 40 000 due to rising volunteer enlistments and lower casualties. The Marine Corps Navy and Air Force plan similar releases into mid 1952 and next July respectively.

British Submarine Affray Search Goes On In Channel Tragedy
Faint underwater signals spurred a blind search for the British submarine Affray stuck 198 feet down in the English Channel. With 75 officers and men aboard, oxygen may last 40 hours, and rescue teams question why no emergency buoy or debris has surfaced. The Admiralty reported no contact since a faint signal at 8:30 AM, as 25 ships scoured a 2,000 mile area near the Isle of Wight waiting for a surface breakout or new readings.
