First Electronic Traffic Light In Monroe Installed
Monroe police announce the first electronic traffic light in the city is at the De Siard and Renwick intersection. The system uses magnetic sensing to give one car a five second green, then three second windows for subsequent vehicles, with a fixed 25 second green on DeSiard after six cars pass, and a Renwick green if queued on that approach after the cycle. Field engineers note such signals are increasingly common in cities.

Three Polish Officials Fired in Stalinism Purge
Poland’s Communist regime announced the dismissal of three top officials for alleged Stalinist distortions. Stanislaw Radkiewicz, Stefan Kalinowski, and Stanislaw Zarakowski were relieved from posts amid claims of serious deficiencies in recent years, with faults in the military prosecutor’s office and supervision of investigative work. The move aligns with Moscow efforts to correct cult of personality errors in satellites. Western observers note the purge targets civilian and military prosecutors who handle trials, part of broader shifts following Bulgaria’s prime minister’s resignation.

Committee Cuts $25 Million From Propaganda Funds
The House Appropriations Committee trimmed 25 million dollars from President Eisenhower's overseas propaganda program request and rejected DOJ prison funding.

The panel balked at granting the full 135 million USIA request for the coming year, proposing 110 million instead, with 22.66 million more than this year. It approved Voice of America radio funding but rejected 3.79 million to outfit an aircraft carrier as a floating theater.
