China Reds Attack Two Formosa Outposts
Chinese forces attacked Kinmen and Kinmen Island, two Formosa outposts near Amoy, while weather cleared after three days of badinage. The actions prompted U S responses and a potential shift in orders as Washington weighed sea and air support for Nationalists against Communist incursions. President Truman ordered the Seventh Fleet to protect Formosa, with discussions on broader intervention amid the Kinmen strike.

Ample Food Supply Predicted by Federal Bureau
The Federal Bureau reports ample food supply with large reserves and higher production in key areas. Cuba holds large stocks for the U S. Wheat and corn crops may be short of 1949, but carryover stocks remain large and fruits are affected by weather, though processed fruit and vegetable stocks from 1949 and 1950 look comparable to last year.
