The Wage Stabilization Board in Washington is studying a new wage formula that could raise pay by up to four cents an hour if employers agree. Industry groups oppose the plan, while labor members advocate it after more than a year of push.

House Vote Ends Truman Power to Seize Railroads
The House voted 284 to 1 to end President Truman's authority to seize the railroads and to extend 48 other emergency powers in the White House. The measure moves to the Senate. The chamber also rejected renewal of powers on absentee voting for service members and recall to active duty, and kept reserve officers in service under current terms through mid 1953. The vote followed concerns over Korea War implications and political maneuvering on steel strike provisions.

Russia Failing To Back Bluster With Elbe Arms
BERGINI June 11 Western officials say Russia lacks a fortified buildup along the Elbe to signal war this year. No reinforcements have reached Gen. Vasily Chuikov’s East Germany command, estimated at about 20 divisions totaling around 200,000 troops, with only two divisions of mines and communications behind them. Chuikov fields jet fighters and bombers, though fewer than 1950s levels, some reassigned to other fronts. Allied intelligence notes no new formations during summer maneuvers.

Reds Pound Allies On Road to Seoul
On June 12 1952 fierce fighting raged along the invasion route to Seoul for the fifth day. The U S Eighth Army reported heavy fighting near Cherwon as Reds stepped up attacks in the west and center.

Allied forces killed about 123 Chinese attacking a key hill, as the week’s battles potentially become the bloodiest of 1952.
