President Truman calls for national unity while the United States increases military strength. U N forces continue to withdraw in current operations as the nation steadies for broader conflict.
President Truman opened his State of the Union speech by asserting the nation is healthy and urged unity to face Communist aggression. He indicated willingness to drop the Fair Deal temporarily to build free world strength and warned he would not concede on Western Europe military cooperation.
President Truman outlined a ten point legislative program for Congress including arms buildup funding, extended draft, global military and economic aid, wage and price controls, farm to defense support, labor reform for stable production, housing and training for defense workers, medical personnel expansion, federal aid to K-12 education, and a major tax increase.
Gordon Dean chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission said at a news conference that the Russians possess the atomic bomb. He warned that peacetime atomic energy development would be cut back due to the international situation.
Sen. Robert A. Taft calls for a stronger Republican voice in policy making and questions U.N. value, suggesting U.S. troops out of Korea and a Pacific defense line with Formosa and Japan. He warns Russia could trigger war if it attacks Western Europe.
The nation moves toward full mobilization with price controls on food seen as essential for housewives. A 30 day wage price freeze faced internal government disagreement but aims to hold the line by March 1. Di Salle requires 30,000 staff to enforce the program including chasing down black marketeers and price gougers.
The pattern in Korea shows a continued Communist push south of the 38th parallel. After the January 1 attack, UN forces fall back toward Pusan, along the Heartbreak Highway. Analysts fear a counteroffensive may be months away as the UN position deteriorates.
The government ends all production restrictions on wheat and corn to safeguard reserves, with only certain tobacco peanuts and rice still controlled. The move aims to boost spring wheat planting and possibly peanut and rice easing. Experts expect unlimited corn acreage to raise meat supply by at least three pounds per person, with 1950 meat per person at 145 pounds.
At the United Nations Sir Gladwyn Jebb signaled Britain is not yet ready for a final decision on condemning Red China as an aggressor in Korea. He urged caution and unity, while implying Britain and other powers may eventually back the American drafting for a verdict denouncing Peiping.
General Dwight D. Eisenhower speaks to newsreel and television cameras at the Pentagon in his first press conference after being named commander in chief for European armies. He then heads to European capitals, insisting Western Europe defense requires sacrifices from other Atlantic pact nations equal to those of the United States.
The defense department plans to ask Congress for a blanket draft of all physically fit 18 year olds for 27 to 30 months of service. Lawmakers debate immediate approval with some arguing 18 percent is too young and 24 months too short.
In tight kitchenettes use a wall extending ironing board as a temporary extra serving surface just before dinner. Create an oilcloth cover for regular use and repurpose discarded window shades as shelf paper. Clean grease with colorless shellac on new wallpaper, or add style with an oil cloth wall rug or a large plate glass panel hanging like a mirror.
When walls look dull after dirt buildup wash with soap and water rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Finish by applying a white creamy furniture polish to restore a fresh look to the painted surface.
