In Korea, General Van Fleet said Communist forces outnumber UN troops 21 to 1 and will face massed Eighth Army power if they attack again. He warned of a tough response and noted Reds have equipment, but are weaker in tanks and air power.

Congress Slices Foreign Aid Like Magic Weighing Bills
The Nation Today reports on how Congress treats foreign aid money as a trivial sum, cutting billions with little clarity on impact. It notes Truman's request of 7.9 billion, with committee and Senate votes trimming by roughly 1.2 to 1.4 billion, while broad ambiguity remains about exact allocations. In a separate brief, three arrests were logged by city police for disturbing the peace and intoxication, with two Black residents held on collateral.
