Supreme Court clears way for six story state office building
The Supreme Court ruled the state may proceed with plans for a six story office building at California Avenue and Washington Street. The decision reverses a lower court ruling favoring Charleston city control and aligns with the state’s bid by Southeastern Construction Co. of Charlotte for 1 475 253. The block lies on state property and plans conflict with the Cass Gilbert Plan.

Big Push Seen as Korea Forces Hold Pu San Bridgehead
Gen Lawson Colling said U S forces in Korea are strong enough to hold the Pu san bridgehead and begin a limited offensive while awaiting reinforcements for a major push. Truman conferred with all Joint Chiefs of Staff amid briefing on Soviet troop dispositions and global hotspots. A Defense Department spokesman said UN troops are on even terms with the Communists as plans to break out of the bridgehead are prepared once manpower and materiel arrive. The report notes MacArthur's orders to adjust lines forward and the start of stronger air and sea support as buildup continues.
