Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko stated the USSR opposes foreign interference in Korea's internal affairs and placed responsibility for the fighting on South Korean authorities and their supporters. The note noted North Korea provoked the conflict by attacking northern frontier areas. The UN had reported North Korea invaded the south last Sunday. The USSR also claimed it had long held a non interference stance by withdrawing its troops earlier than the United States.

Senate atomic committee members show little sign of heeding President Truman's suggestion to reconsider Sumner Pike's nomination to the Atomic Energy Commission. Pike faces a vote after a day of party-line opposition, with four Republicans and one Democrat voting against him and four supporting. Pike's future remains uncertain as the Senate weighs confirmation, while he has served as acting chairman and would leave the commission two members short if not confirmed.
