Wedemeyer Report Withheld By State Department
The State Department ruled against publishing Lt Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer’s Korea and China report saying publication now would be harmful to those countries and the United States. It also rejected Russia’s proposal for simultaneous troop withdrawals from Korea, a move officials had predicted Korean forces trained by Russia might exploit. Wedemeyer’s investigation followed a request from President Truman.

De Gaulle supporters scored a sweeping municipal victory on Sunday, weakening Cabinet and Communist positions. The October 11 subway strike began with independent motormen seeking recognition and shorter hours, later prompting a broader strike call by the national federation of 30,000 transport workers.
