Korean Spy Plot Quashed in Pyongyang
In Pyongyang twelve North Koreans were arrested for plotting to assassinate Col. C. R. Munske and local officials. Munske said eight were in Wang Gun’s police force and that the group planned shooting or grenades. He noted 6,000 underground N Koreans, a battalion of South Korean MPs, and UN forces in the area amid tension over Chinese advances. A ninth corps spokesman said a civilian was arrested near the allied air strip with a 120 millimeter mortar used to shell it.

Navy Midshipman to Celebrate Christmas in Tucson After CBS Victory
Midshipman Daniel C. Murray of the U. S. Naval Academy will spend Christmas at home in Tucson because his fiancée Patricia O’Hagan of New York City won 340 dollars on the CBS Strike It Rich radio program. O’Hagan answered three questions correctly before Murray answered the last two by telephone, a first in the show’s history. The prize funds Murray’s holiday trip home, and the couple joked about their wedding in 22 weeks, two days, and 19 hours. Murray is 23, son of C. F. and Mrs. Murray, formerly a Tucson Daily Citizen carrier, and he graduated from Tucson High in 1945.
