Jebb Urges New Appeal To Red China for Peace
The United Nations plans a final appeal to Peiping for peace in Korea before an American move to brand the regime as aggressors. Sir Gladwyn Jebb says the delay, likely 10 days to 2 weeks, aims to show that aggression does not pay even if the effort has slim chances of success. If rejected, non-Russian bloc nations will back action against China.

Supreme Court OKs price cuts in good faith
The Supreme Court, in a 53 to 3 vote, ruled that price cutting to retain customers is lawful if done in good faith to meet a competitor’s price. Justice Burton explained that competition is preserved when a seller lowers prices to prevent losing a customer, even amid Robinson-Patman Act concerns. The ruling sends the Standard Oil of Indiana case back to the FTC for a determination of good faith with possible objections from dissenters.
