Strange As It Seems From Wartime Washington Notes
A column notes U.S. State Department backing for “total diplomacy” and criticizes Willis Smith for opposing a 40 cent minimum wage in 1947 while his later ads tout high wages. It reports a Soviet plan to build large airfields near Okinawa run by Chinese forced labor, with airstrips in Fukien province. It mocks Secretary Johnson’s offhand remarks and jokes about Baruch, and mentions Oklahoma CIO’s neutral stance in the Thomas-Monroney race, plus Egypt recruiting an army and navy of international rovers to confront Israel.

Censors suppressed news to mislead Tokyo about balloon success and deter further use. After the war, details showed incendiary and potential bacteriological payloads aimed at forests and Russia through wind routes. The idea drew interest from officials before State Department veto.
