Weather permitting the RCAF will fly drums of oil and food to a civilian Norseman grounded on sea ice off Hudson Bay near Churchill Manitoba. The Norseman piloted by Charles Weber is in good condition after a fuel shortage forced the landing. RCMP and 24-year-old Churchill resident Ray Hjorkesson and Army sergeant Newnham accompany the mission as pilots and ground crew plan parachute delivery if dog-team logistics fail. The mercy operation adds to a decade of similar missions run by Winnipeg Tactical Group with up to 30 aircraft.

Soviets Veto Plan Unite All Germany
Paris May 30 The Soviet Union rejected the western proposal to unite Germany under the Bonn constitution. Andrei Vishinsky voiced Moscow's answer during the foreign ministers council meeting. The plan, submitted by Acheson Bevin and Schuman, invites east Germany to join the federalized regime of the four occupation zones. Western sources predicted the Russians would reject and a pro western path could lead to a free election in a reunited Germany. Tass criticized the plan as betraying Potsdam and cited loss of veto power as a key flaw.
