Uncertain Opening for Washington Expressway Section
Ongoing delays cloud when the first section of the Washington expressway will be usable as far south as Urbana. Interchange construction at Route 15 south of Frederick lacks a contract or timetable. Surface work between Frederick and Urbana nearing 90 percent complete with steel still awaited for the Urbana cloverleaf bridge over Route 80. Negotiations over the Pollack property slowed work but a relocation plan is in place.

Paris reports that the United States will rush emergency dollar aid to France to avert a deeper economic crisis. The exact amount remains uncertain for two weeks, with $200 million often cited as a guess. Harriman, head of the mutual security agency, surveys needs for NATO partners and will present findings in Rome before Truman considers final aid levels.

Jets Clash Over Korea in Fresh Air Battle
Jets clashed again over Korea as about 60 fighters from the United States and Red forces fought for control near the Manchurian frontier. Two MiG-15s were damaged in the exchange while U S Thunderjets returned safely. In a night raid, 12 B 29 Superforts hit a Red jet base near the Yalu river, the Far East Air Forces said. Generals warned of a rising Red China air strength complicating UN air superiority. Separately, truce negotiators in Panmunjom reached a buffer zone agreement, opening the path to possible Christmas armistice talks. If approved, 30 days would be set to resolve remaining issues including armistice supervision and prisoner exchanges.
