Rules Cheese Distributors Received Millions Illegally
The comptroller general ruled the Agriculture Department made unauthorized payments totaling about two million dollars to private cheese distributors last year. About 90 million pounds of cheese were involved across roughly 100 companies, with Kraft Foods and Borden receiving the largest sums. The department had shifted the cheese pricing before April 1, 1954 and conducted purchase resale transactions to keep cheese in circulation while changing the support rate, prompting a request to recover the funds.

Rock-throwing Koreans injure U.S. officer near Wolmi Island
An American Army officer, Lt. Wayne N. Hansen of Augusta Georgia, was hit on the head and bruised in a rock throwing incident by South Koreans as U S troops moved eight vehicles crossing the Inchon Wolmi Island causeway. Two doctors called the concussion minor and said the officer was not seriously hurt. The clash came as protesters demanded the ouster of pro Communist Czech and Polish members from the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission and blocked Army supply trucks headed to Wolmi. General Lemnitzer was en route to Seoul for a return flight to Tokyo.
