Smuts threatens unilateral annexation of Southwest Africa
South Africa's Prime Minister Jan Christiaan Smuts told the United Nations he is prepared to take over mandated Southwest Africa if the General Assembly rejects his plan for incorporation.

Meanwhile other dispatches note disputes over Trieste and a U.S. bid for a permanent UN headquarters site amid ongoing negotiations. In Washington, five top coal industry spokesmen met with Interior Secretary Krug to avert a coal strike, weighing terms with John L. Lewis as deadlines loom and coal stocks run low.
