MacArthur Warns of Formosa Bases Threatening Asia
General Douglas MacArthur warned that Formosa already concentrates air and naval bases potentially greater than any in the Asiatic mainland between the Yellow Sea and Malacca Strait. He said new bases could be developed quickly, expanding air power against Okinawa and threatening Philippine installations beyond mainland fighters’ range, risking a shifted front and possible submarine blockade. He praised Truman’s June 27 decision to defend Formosa as a lamp of hope for Asia.

Timken wage plan rejected by United Steel Workers
The union blasted Timken’s three year contract extension proposing a quarterly cost of living index using a base of 172.5 with a 5 percent wage increase and possible cuts. It warned the policy would freeze most benefits for five years, bar reopener rights, and discriminate against union workers while favoring nonunion salary rises. The group cited Korean War price hikes and company profits, urging a free collective bargaining path to higher living standards.
