Draft in Effect Reaches Army and Rail Strikes
President Truman ordered a draft expansion to meet the Korea situation and called up reserves if needed. Enlistments may fill the manpower gap, with potential forces up to 2,005,432. Rail strikes ended as the army took over operations, while a collision of two Santa Fe streamliners killed nine and injured 75. A parachute record test by Sgt. Jack Tumping yielded 207 drops in a day. Colombia's earthquakes killed 270, left 40,000 homeless, and caused $20.7 million in damage.
