Army to Study Nerve Gas Cure and Test New Antidote
The Army plans to study a possible new antidote for nerve gas known as 158 G.T. The substance, tested on cats and described as more potent and safer than atropine, was developed by Germans in the last war. Dr M H Ehrenberg of Schieffelin Laboratories said the Army Chemical Warfare Service will take over further testing and development.

Red Offensive Rebuffed in Korea Amid River Battles
UN commander James A. Van Fleet announced a great UN victory halting the Red spring offensive for now while warning a new Communist push is possible. American air and naval strikes damaged floodgates at Hwachon, forcing rivers to rise and hinder Red crossings as UN tank patrols hunted targets north of Seoul. The leadership claimed heavy Communist casualties, with estimates over 75,000 in nine days, as Reds tried to breach lines near Inje and along the 38th parallel. Skyraiders destroyed floodgates at two reservoirs, aiding river defenses and complicating Red river crossings. The central Korean front faced intensified pressure with Red trucks continuing southward amid ongoing air campaigns.
