Summary:

BIG SWITCH PRINSONERS OF WAR EXCHANGE SPEEDED KOREA - "Operation Big Switch" continues smoothly, with contingents of prisoners arriving from each side for the exchange. A dramatic contrast is visible between healthy, well-fed, and still arrogant Reds, and returning G.I.'s - underfed, bone-weary - and often critically ill - living testimony to Communist brutality. FRENCH STRIKE CRIPPLES NATION FRANCE - One of the most devastating strikes in recent French history paralyzes the nation, as 2 million transport and utility workers walk off the job. A show of union strength, the country's first general strike in 17 years protests the administrations austerity policies. BATTLE OF THE HEMLINES NEW YORK - Stylist Ceil Chapman takes the measure of new and old in the battle of the hemlines, launched by Christian Dior in Paris fall showings. SOAP BOX DERBY AKRON - 14 year old Fred Mohler, of Muncie, Indiana, streaks to victory in the sixteenth annual Soap Box Derby, outpacing a field of 154 to win the champion's crown and a $5,000 scholarship.
