The Arizona supreme court affirmed Robert J. Cassidy's conviction for conspiracy to violate anti gambling laws in Apache and Navajo counties. Cassidy, once dubbed slot machine king, was fined 500 dollars by Apache County Superior Judge J Smith Gibbons after a jury verdict. The decision ties to Cassidy's alleged role in placing slot machines and involves related prosecutions of Jack J. Christy John L. Sullivan and Harry T. Hendricks on conspiracy charges. The case connects to payments Cassidy made to Christy and to Sullivan and Christy's appeals in the supreme court.

Truman seeks three year renewal of reciprocal trade acts
President Truman urged Congress to extend the reciprocal trade agreements act for three years to June 12, 1951. He called the act essential to U S foreign policy as it enables the President to negotiate tariff cutting pacts with other nations. The program, first enacted in 1934, has been renewed four times and supported Geneva negotiations that cut tariffs on items like Scotch whiskey and French perfume. Critics warn of unemployment if tariffs fall too low, while administration officials argue carefully chosen cuts protect American workers.
