The union seeks a 21 cent hourly wage rise while the industry offers 12.5 cents. Stations limited purchases to five gallons amid shortages. some were sold out. Major firms instructed stations to withhold 28 percent of supply for emergency use.

President Truman told Detroit workers organized labor must resist Republican “body blows” to stay a bulwark against Communism. He warned that a reactionary GOP could threaten wages, living standards, and democratic institutions, amid a Michigan campaign stop at Cadillac Square. He faulted Congress for prices and housing inaction, blasted the real estate lobby, and framed the election as two-party choice for ordinary people versus elites.

Reds Campaign for Smear Against US Diplomats Seen
Washington officials fear a systematic frameup campaign against American diplomats in Communist nations. The case of Donald F. Ewing, U.S. consul in Sofia, Bulgaria, is cited as an example where Bulgarian authorities claim espionage by two locals. A State Department spokesman said the incident appears to be a transparently fabricated maneuver, noting Ewing met the Bulgarians outside the legation and that two Bulgarians were arrested with documents in their possession. The United States protests the arbitrary Bulgarian action and questions the documents' authenticity as it demands clarity on the charges and circumstances.
