Taft says Supreme Court ruling wrong on offshore lands
Washington Senate clash over state ownership of off shore submerged lands intensifies after a 56 to 33 test vote. Senate Majority Leader Taft orders around the clock sessions and a failed bid to table a federal control substitute. Anderson appeals to avoid overruling the court as he contends the lands should remain federally controlled for oil leases and funding for defense and education.

Reds Warned As U S Holds To Peace Hopes
U N negotiators warned the Communists at Panmunjom they may break off talks unless a concrete prisoner exchange proposal is offered soon. Lt Gen William K Harrison said the UN Command will not enter protracted arguments and warned the Reds they must mean what they say. The talks stalled over neutral custody for prisoners, timing after an armistice, and whether prisoners are shipped or kept in Korea. Nam Il urged a continuation of debate on a neutral state and a two month handling plan, while the UN pressed for a two month timeline and quicker disposition of prisoners.

Discrimination Charged Over WV Racetrack License Plea
Nicholas J. Tweel of Huntington petitions West Virginia Supreme Court seeking mandamus to force the State Racing Commission to grant a license for a horse track under construction near Hurricane, contending 1953 law blocking licensing and racial discrimination deprive him of property without due process. He cites a January 8 1952 letter promising a license, his $37,500 pre-year investment, and 120 acre site split between Cabell and Putnam counties, while local option election requirements allegedly discriminate against him.
