The United States agreed to pay $120,000 to Hungary to secure the release of four imprisoned American flyers after their unarmed plane from Germany to Yugoslavia was forced down by a Soviet plane. The piece argues the payment may invite more blackmail and urges stronger steps against Hungary, including recalling Americans, breaking diplomatic ties, expelling Hungarian officials, and imposing sanctions. It calls for continued action beyond the ransom to deter further incidents.
Senator Edwin C. Johnson of Colorado proposes North Carolina Senator Clyde R. Hoey and his subcommittee head a federal corruption probe. The President weighs options, eyeing a nonpartisan agency or FBI-backed legislative inquiry to avoid partisan heat before the next election.
A librarian wins first prize in the Greenwood Plan contest for countering Communism with humorous comics. The proposal urges creating broad appeal strip books to ridicule Communist claims behind the Iron Curtain, but cautions careful, skilled execution to avoid backfire and insists on citizen-led, non governmental effort.
The piece defends John B. Trevor, highlighting his patriotic work and denouncing smear tactics used to label patriots as fascists. It cites apologies from Columbia University and United World Federalists, discusses the Amerasia and McCarthy eras, and argues that honest differences deserve respect while smears harm public life.
A columnist notes aging and gratitude on birthday reflections and recalls a four day Christmas period with accident tolls and tax talk. It cites 428 traffic deaths, 665 total accidental deaths, and forecasts of 600 highway deaths. It includes quips on life and death, Congress tax plans, and a North Carolina Christmas Eve incident.
A star studded night at the Ziegfeld opens with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh in Cleopatra earning $1,000,600 in advance sales and top galas. Critics praise Olivier and Leigh while many shows face mixed receptions with Broadway's season marked by many premieres and shifting fortunes.
Senator Richard M. Nixon asked FHA Commissioner Franklin D. Richards to review reports alleging discrimination against out of state builders in Charleston South Carolina.

FBI and Civil Service actions follow, with Carpenter fired for outside employment and Nixon urging full FHA internal inquiry into possible influence over mortgage insurance decisions.
