UN Ignores Reds Seats National Chinese in Posts
The United Nations faced Soviet objections as Nationalist Chinese delegates took seats in two small committees at Lake Success. Despite Russian campaigns, no formal challenge was filed as the council opened its first session of 1950. Reports linked to Shanghai shelling of the Flying Arrow drew further interest. Tsiang's chairmanship may spark a Malik challenge in the Security Council later in January.

Truman Seeks Higher Taxes to Close Record Budget Gap
President Truman sent an unbalanced 42.439 billion dollar budget to Congress and urged moderate tax increases to cover a 5.133 billion dollar deficit starting July 1. Republicans assailed the plan as spendthrift socialism while Democrats defended defense spending as necessary amid world tensions. The budget aims for restraint and future balance, with potential postal rate hikes adding to the gap.

Chinese Navy Man Says Shelling Was to Save Ship
A Nationalist navy spokesman said the gunboat Wuling fired on the American freighter Flying Arrow to prevent its destruction in a minefield at the Yangtze mouth. Captain Jones said the Flying Arrow anchored 19 miles offshore in international waters when fired upon. The navy claims the ship would have struck a mine with heavy loss of life, and that action proves the port closure of the Communist coast. Adm. Kwei Yung-ching and Chiang Kai-shek supported the move, seen as a test for potential actions against British merchants trading with Red Shanghai.
