Major Objective Falls .10 Allies in Korea
Forces advancing with the western front attack column reported five more miles gained on Tuesday the second day of the offensive in Korea. American troops pushed toward three towns while air power disrupted Red garrisons and hundreds of communists fled along northbound roads. Three Chinese armies massed south of the Han river near Seoul as Wonju withdrawal began in an orderly fashion, with bitter cold and foxhole fighting marking the front. General Hoyt Vandenberg praised jet planes and air bombardment as key to the advance while General J. Lawton Collins said American forces would stay in Korea for the time being.

Trustees Removed From Kansas Milling Company in Wichita
In Wichita on January 16, the stock-voting trusts for Kansas Milling were reconstituted removing R Ward Magill and both David S. Jackmans as trustees amid dissident stockholders’ allegations of fund misuse. Judge Howard C. Kline declined to dissolve the trusts and will appoint new trustees later today. The plaintiffs and defendants are heirs of the company founders. Magill and the senior Jackman hold top company roles, and the dissidents claim funds were diverted through partnerships involving them, including 1,067,000 dollars advanced for production of Johnny Holiday, a Ronnie W. Alcorn film that lost money.

Senators Plan Move on Gasoline Tax and Elections
A lively discussion opens on introducing a move in the senate to require party conventions to nominate state and congressional candidates with a two aspirant limit per office and to place party platforms at conventions after the primary. Senator Wunsch proposes funding for exceptional children with a weekly rate of five dollars for mentally retarded pupils and eight dollars for homebound students, plus fifty dollars per pupil annually for teacher transport. The measure, part of a broader exceptional children program, would cost about 150000 dollars yearly. Additional senate bills include a uniform act for securing court witnesses from outside the state and reciprocal support duties enforcement, with sponsors Collard Euwer Ruppenthal Wunsch. An adoption-law amendment would notify all interested parties and require a six month hearing after adoption. County Court fines: Wilson Liggett 25 dollars, James Reynolds 1 dollar, Ed Davis speeding in a truck.
