U.N. Suggests Kaesong as Neutral City in Korean Truce Talks
United Nations negotiators propose Kaesong be placed in a demilitarized zone to serve as a neutral city in the Korean truce discussions. Brig. Gen. William Nuckols said Communist leaders did not reject the plan outright and would discuss it in a subcommittee meeting Sunday. If accepted, the Communists would abandon Kaesong, depriving them of the city’s propaganda value as the major South Korean city still in their hands.

Feds Launch Nationwide Narcotics Roundup Under New Law
Washington reports federal agents began a nationwide roundup of drug peddlers under a new law with stiff minimum sentences. Narcotics Commissioner Anslinger predicted a notable decline in illegal traffic within six months as 87 agents are trained to reach a force of 275 soon. The measure imposes minimum terms for importing handling or pushing narcotics and sets fines up to 2000 with 5 to 10 year ranges for repeat offenses. The president cited grave concern over rising addiction and created an inter-departmental narcotics committee including Treasury State Defense Justice Agriculture and the Federal Security Agency.
