Uncertain Big Four talks on Germany and Berlin blockade
The four foreign ministers meet to discuss Germany's future after the Berlin blockade. Western aims center on a western Germany under Allied supervision with Ruhr resources, while the East seeks to spread communism and scotch the Marshall plan. The talks face deep misalignment and potential refusals to compromise. The UN session at Lake Success also ends with Israel admitted but Italy's colonies dispute unresolved.

Home accidents outpace other settings, while 1948 saw under 2,000,000 disabling injuries and 135,000 man-years lost. Fewer disasters and lower rates in manufacturing railroads and mining lowered totals, yet the rate remains high.

Razor Blade Grave In Hotel Wall Slots
A hotel bathroom slot for razor blades doubles as a hidden grave where blades and drops of cash accumulate. Accounts tell of small currency, iron slugs, and the curious origin tale linked to hotel chambermaids and a Grand Canyon joke. A painter in a hotel corridor jokes about his art being on doors while guests bicker with staff over the odd mural world. An Indian guest signs crosses in lieu of a circle while bootleg whiskey runs promptively.
