Congressmen Demand Officers Sell Stock Before Confirmation
Senators urged Eisenhower nominees for Army Navy and Air Force secretaries to divest their stock or resign. They pressed for Wilson to sell his General Motors holdings before Senate confirmation while opponents argued service chiefs might retain stakes. Morse called the move shocking and unconscionable as Stevens Talbott and Anderson face scrutiny over holdings in J P Stevens Chrysler and Electric Auto-Lite. Taft warned against differing rules while Knowland and Saltonstall weighed possible rejection of Stevens.

Navy Ready To Blockade China Coast
The U S Navy said it could impose an almost 100 percent blockade on the China coast on short notice if President Eisenhower signals. Vice Adm. Robert P. Briscoe, commander of Naval Forces Far East, said the Seventh Fleet would need quick reinforcement and access to carrier and patrol planes to halt ocean borne traffic, while junk traffic would be harder to seal off. Orders would flow through Adm. Radford at Pearl Harbor.
