U S Air Force B 36 Bombers Crashes North Atlantic
A U S Air Force B 36 reconnaissance bomber with 23 aboard plunged into the North Atlantic about 500 miles west of Iceland. Five survivors were later sighted with a raft as rescue planes and ships joined a wide search by air and sea. Weather and high waves hampered landing attempts, while crews from Britain and the United States joined the massive recovery effort amid reports of wreckage and a possible parachute among scattered debris.

West German Forces Desert East Germany for West Berlin
In Berlin today thirty seven East German soldiers and policemen fled to West Berlin. The mass desertion came amid the Soviet blockade around the city and follows a 1953 pattern of large exoduses seeking U.S. relief food. Among the fugitives were Red Army troops and the People's Police. The year’s record single-day flight was 46, with 2,555 people deserting in 1953. The exodus reflects hunger, blockades, and terror trials driving East Germans to seek asylum and American aid.
