Social Security Amends for World War II Veterans
The amended Social Security Act adds 160 dollar monthly wage credits for each month of World War II active service between September 16, 1950 and July 24, 1947. Eligible servicemen with 90 days or more of service, discharged not dishonorably, gain recomputed benefits for old age or survivors insurance. Credits apply unless benefits exist under other federal programs, and help veterans regain or establish Social Security status.

Chinese Reds Sending Reinforcements to Korea Front
Six new Chinese Communist divisions totaling about 60,000 troops were reported moving toward the Korean fighting front from Manchuria. American air forces struck across the Yalu to delay reinforcements as U S Navy Panthers engaged in jet dogfights for the first time in the war. Front lines near the Chongchon River remained relatively quiet as UN patrols probed north. MacArthur staff estimated 50 Chinese divisions in Manchuria ready to move if ordered. Allies interpreted the pullback as a pause after heavy UN strikes seeking to blunt chinese reinforcements.
