Senate Holds Fire on Illegal Clause in Resolution
Senate leaders debated the use of the word illegal in a resolution backing resistance to a court ruling on segregation. David J. Mays argued the term could imply nullification in a broad sense, while Sen. Breeden pressed for precise language and warned that nullification could fracture the union. Governor Stanley supported the resolution but said relief may require Congress. Local bills on poll tax repeal, alcohol sales, and annexation voting drew attention as well.

Westinghouse Strike Becomes Longest Labor Walkout in History
In Pittsburgh the Westinghouse Electric strike reaches 103 days as talks show mixed signals. The AFL CIO IUE led 44,000 workers at 30 plants in a demand for a 15 cent hourly raise, while Westinghouse touted a 23 cent total increase over five years. Secretary Mitchell cited progress from the mediation service, though union president James B. Carey reported no visible gains. The protracted dispute follows the 1950 Chrysler walkout of 95,000 workers noted as the prior record.
