Coast Guard Tightens Security in Ports Amid Labor Tension
AP reports in Washington that the Coast Guard issued new rules requiring security cards for maritime workers to access ships or docks in coastal ports, aiming to curb subversive activity amid threatened West Coast port strikes.

The article also describes battlefield moves in Korea with Allied lines holding and rumors of a renewed Communist offensive, including Red forces near Chorwon and American and South Korean defenses along a 150 mile front.
