Consolidated Bus Loses Fire Suit in Federal Jury Ruling
A federal jury in the Southern District of West Virginia returned a verdict for Consolidated Bus Lines in the second trial of a Home Insurance Company suit. The case grew from a February 1, 1948 fire that damaged a Mullens building housing a grocery, a terminal, and an A and P store. The insurer sought 13.12 dollars plus interest, arguing the fire stemmed from the bus line’s failure to exercise proper care in operating the building furnace. An earlier verdict for the defendant was overturned by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond.

Americans Say Retreat From Chochiwon Was Damn Orderly
American troops covering the withdrawal from Chochiwon described the retreat as orderly despite Communist attempts to disrupt it. Lt James Bufano said the smooth pullout kept many men out of danger and noted only a few shells landed in rice paddies. Lt Delbert Gates reported some troops briefly misdirected but able to return to allied lines. The front was quiet as air action continued with some mistaken strafings, and officers praised air power while longing for more effective use of jet fighters.
