Hydrogen bomb work a year after order
One year after President Truman ordered the Atomic Energy Commission to pursue the hydrogen bomb, researchers press on amid Korea tensions. Progress remains secret, with experts split on feasibility. The program, funded at 1.277 billion dollars for 1951-52, expands plants in South Carolina, Texas, and Kentucky to produce plutonium tritium and uranium 235 for the A and H bombs, while Nevada tests shake the region and the commission stays tightlipped about results.

Britain Facing critics of arms program and 15 day reserve callup
London reports show British press split over the £4.7 billion three year rearmament plan.

The Times lauds the plan but notes the training period is probably insufficient, while the Manchester Guardian questions if the effort will meet events.
