Missouri Flood Dislocates Rosecrans Air Field and Town
Missouri floods cut new channels along a large S shaped bend isolating Rosecrans Air Field in St Joseph and Elwood town. Army engineers will study aerial surveys and start closing the smaller channel when river drops to about 15 feet. Homes and farms have fallen into widening channels and the river has shortened its length by about 100 miles as it reopens old lakebeds near Mud Lake and Atchison.

Silent in Munsan as truce talks pause
In Munsan Korea the truce talks halted for a day as the United Nations Command awaited a Communist response to an Allied armistice proposal. The plan bundles POW exchanges, air-field rebuilding rights, and Russia’s role as truce supervisor, with a possible North Korea air-field rebuild under a wartime pause. The Reds were not expected to move until decisions from Peiping, Pyongyang, and perhaps Moscow are settled. The Chicago Sun Times reports the Allies would back air-field rebuilding in North Korea during a truce if the Communists accept returning three of five POWs.
