Government eyes direct grain purchases from farmers
Washington reports Secretary of Agriculture Anderson disclosed the department considers buying grain directly from farmers to curb inflation and curb speculation tied to European aid. If pursued it could follow the CCC price support and commodity credit programs, aiming to release 100,000,000 bushels to meet shortages while avoiding rapid price jumps.

Palestine Arabs Stage General Strike in Jerusalem Protest
Arab leaders organized a general strike in Jerusalem to protest Western intrusion into Palestinian lands. Arab pedestrians filled streets as Arab buses remained in garages to block Jewish transit. Emile Ghoury spoke at El Aksa Mosque urging unity, while police fortified the Old City with barbed wire and gunners. The strike aimed for a peaceful display, not revolt, amid tensions over refugees. The Haifa situation with illegal refugees aboard the ships Paducah and Northlands drew international attention as authorities ferried some 500 crew to Cyprus, while others remained aboard pending more British transports.
