The United States faces weeks or months of waiting to see Eisenhower's approach to the Korean War. Early signals focus on military options as he studies security measures, with political considerations and allied UN relations to follow after his inauguration.

The GSA under Jess Larson reduced small orders under $10 by over 9 percent and increased purchases from small businesses from under 30 percent to 53 percent last year.
The article notes Senator Robert Taft of Ohio as likely Republican Senate majority leader, with President-elect Eisenhower neutral on the choice. It argues Taft’s leadership would blend liberal and conservative stances on domestic policy and international cooperation, and highlights Taft’s potential to unite the party and work with the White House. It also profiles Chester O Wanvig as Wisconsin GOP money drive leader and his impact on fundraising.
Lincoln Barnett outlines an apocalyptic view of Earth's end as the sun ages and explodes in a sequence of solar tempests. Within minutes the Earth would face deadly radiation and two days of fiery bombardment, leaving the planet a cinder circling a dying sun. He ties this to biblical prophecy and notes the public misperception about driving.
A county wide test blackout in La Crosse is set for Monday January 4 from 9 30 to 9 45 p m with a total shutdown except for designated emergency units and buildings.

James Marlow reports that seven years after proposing compulsory health insurance President Truman leaves office with the plan still looming, while Eisenhower faces a conservative Congress.
