Congress cuts Spain from European recovery plan as Berlin rail traffic halts
Congressional conferees remove Franco Spain from the 5.3 billion European recovery package after a first meeting. The decision leaves Spain’s participation to the 16 Marshall plan nations and clears the way for a single package version of foreign aid. Meanwhile President Truman plans a veto of a 4.8 billion income tax cut and seeks 3.0 billion for national defense with authority to issue 575 million in contracts.

Pistol Found Buried on Washington County Farm
Faris Poole, a Washington County farmer, unearthed an old pistol buried two feet deep in a pasture while digging post holes. A note wrapped in yellow paper, read under magnifier, hints at a murder history dated December 13, 1873. The gun, in surprisingly good condition, may link to early county crimes and a code of victims noted by notches on the stock.
