News From Home Despair in Korea and US Morality
Captain Curt M. O'Reilly writes from Korea lamenting the moral decay he sees in high circles back in the United States and calling for action to remove corruption.

The piece also includes Mrs. Arnett's letter asking how laboring families can live on low wages amid rising costs and inflation, and discusses wage versus living costs, taxation, and government spending as factors shaping national prosperity and policy.
