British Told To Close Iran Consulates
British Ambassador Sir Francis Shepherd urged Prime Minister Mossadegh to withdraw the order to close nine British consulates by January 21 but met a firm refusal. Mossadegh defended the action as long as he remains premier and did not intervene to release a jailed Reuters correspondent. The move risks a full diplomatic break as London signals no alternative but to comply, while Iran warns of broader consequences in a tense standoff.

Truman Plans Huge Spending in 1950 Budget Message
Washington officials anticipate President Truman will propose about 83 billion dollars in new appropriations for the coming fiscal year, with military requests around 51.5 billion. The plan signals a potential shift from rapid expansion to leveling off or reduced spending as actual outlays may exceed new requests, reflecting a dangerous period for free world defense.
