Labor Board Reverses Speech Ruling
The National Labor Relations Board reversed the two year rule requiring equal time for union speeches during work hours. The new standard bars both sides from speaking on company premises within 24 hours before an NLRB election, aiming to protect the election process. The Livingston Shirt Corp case prompted the change, with three board members voting for the rule and one dissenting.

Judge Harold R. Medina of the U S Second Circuit recounted the Communist trial in New York before 400 plus guests at the Finlen Hotel.

Communist officers at Panmunjom used soft voiced pleas Tuesday to coax Chinese prisoners into returning home. Eleven of the first 125 agreed to go back to the Reds, with earlier sessions yielding 33 of 250 Chinese. In the neutral zone, 326 Chinese POWs were summoned for explanations as captives remained mostly calm and a few showed defiance or anger toward the process. One prisoner declared he is a soldier and intends to fight for Taiwan against Communists.
