It suggests China aims to protect Manchuria by delaying operations and dismantling power plants, while portraying captured Chinese troops as expendable and limited in combat readiness.

Cost of living likely to rise further in 1951 says USDA
The Agriculture Department warns 1951 may see higher prices across the board with food possibly at a new peak by midyear. Clothing, home furnishings, and essentials from brooms to building supplies are expected to climb, though per capita food consumption may improve due to bigger supplies and strong demand driven by the defense boom. Stauber notes upward price pressure from oil to soap and predicts materials costs may stay near peak levels, with defense needs possibly pushing them higher.
