Bill to Help Korean War Veterans Introduced in Senate
Washington sponsors of a new bill to aid Korean War veterans said it would fix many problems of the old GI bill. Sens Walter F. George and Robert S. Kerr introduced the measure to match World War II benefits with simpler administration and safeguards against excess public funds. The bill provides up to four years of training for veterans who served after June 27 1950, with start within two years of discharge and finish within seven years. Subistence payments would range from 70 to 95 dollars monthly for on the job training and 80 to 125 dollars for full time schooling. Each veteran gains one school term or more per month of service.

UN Forces Advance Three Miles Near Kumsong in Korea
UN forces launched a limited objective attack about 65 miles northeast of Kaesong and advanced over three miles toward the Communist stronghold of Kumsong. The operation aimed at a key hill south southeast of Kumsong, with infantry moving before dawn and fighter bombers clearing the area. Patrols then clashed as night fell, while the rest of the front saw only patrol activity. In Portsmouth, Dan Halloway, 77, of Greenup Kentucky, was killed when struck by a car on state route 73.

Showdown May Come Tomorrow in Korea Armistice Talks
United Nations and Communist negotiators at Kaesong remained firm on their buffer zone proposals as cease fire talks stall. The UN favors a buffer along the current battle line, shortening the 8th Army’s defensive front, while Communists push for a line near the 38th parallel threatening a larger retreat and loss of territory if talks collapse. The session ended with awkward quiet as delegates recessed until page 2.

The 17th session extended deadlock seven days as Nam and Joy sparred while Dean Acheson backed the UN stance as militarily indefensible.
