Mercy flights save patients as coast guard helicopters evacuate two towns
In Norfolk, two Hatteras residents were flown to hospitals in separate mercy missions by coast guard helicopters. Mrs. G B Willis, 78, was airlifted to the U S Marine Hospital after a gall bladder ailment, while a second Hatteras resident was taken to Albemarle Hospital in Elizabeth City. The missions, led by Lt J G Edwards and Lt J Hines with Dr J B Donelson, were part of preparations for flood evacuations along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. The Outer Banks lack local physicians, with Maneto serving as the nearest doctor and patient transport by boat being too arduous.

Measure Said To Be One Of Economy Policy On Germany
Moscow reports say Secretary Marshall proposed that the council of foreign ministers order a reduction of Allied occupation forces in Germany to the minimum needed to carry out policies and ensure security. The plan asks for estimates of required forces for each zone for July 1948, and was circulated with proposals on democracy and compensation for Allied nationals. A clash looms between Soviet and Western plans, with Moscow seeking reparations and a stronger German industry, while Britain and the United States push for German self sufficiency and gradual reduction of occupation.
