Marshall Seeks Terrific Casualties Aim In Korea Policy
Secretary Marshall told senators the United States seeks to break Communist morale in Korea by inflicting heavy casualties and destroying their best trained forces. He urged an approach that avoids in-field dramatic tactics and aims to pressure China and the UN while retaining allies and seeking negotiated peace terms. The remarks come amid ongoing debate over strategy and public statements by General MacArthur.

Florida Economy Bloc Loses In Funds Fight
In Tallahassee the House economy bloc lost as the chamber voted 50 to 1943 to add 4.546 million to the Chattahoochee mental hospital budget. Rep.
