MacArthur sets stark choice before U S voters
General Douglas MacArthur lays out two paths in his argument with the Truman administration. He urges beating Red China through expanded war in Korea with ground troops and allied risks, while the admin plan favors limiting the war to Korea to pressure China into peace. The dispute centers on how to win and whether Russia could be drawn in.

Salt water halts irrigation well on Texas ranch
A deep irrigation well 20 miles southwest of Snyder on the T. P. Allen ranch hit salt water at 555 feet of 600. The sand layers separated by a thin clay seam could not hold back the salt when pump suction started. About 1100 gallons per minute were pumped during the test, and the well cost roughly 10000 dollars. No immediate plans for a new well, though a future effort is possible.
