- Summary:
- KOREAN BATTLES KOREA - Even as the Reds make prisoner of war exchange overtures, one of the bitterest battles of the war rages on 'Old Baldy', one of the strategic points on the invasion route to Seoul. Human waves of Chinese are mowed down by Allied guns. SUPER AIR SPEEDSTER CALIFORNIA - The X-One-A launched from a B-29 glides down until its rocket motor takes hold. Unofficially it is believed to have reached twice the speed of sound. HOTEL BLAZE NEW JERSEY - Flames raze one of Atlantic City's oldest resort hotels in a spectacular New Jersey fire that brings about the rescue of four trapped guests. VAN FLEET RETIRES WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA - The distinguished four star commander of the Eighth Army in Korea, is accorded full military honors as he retires after thirty-seven years of distinguished service. GOMPERS MEMORIAL ARIZONA - The Gompers Memorial Hospital for crippled children is dedicated at Phoenix, an institution erected by the American Federation of Labor. THE PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA - President Eisenhower welcomes four-year-old Judith Rasheta as she visits the White House to sell him the first poppy of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Charity Drive. He also signs his bond application for former silent screen star Mary Pickford, for the bond-a-month drive. SIGNS OF SPRING Anglers swarm the Finger Lake region of New York as the trout season opens and the big ones were biting. In New York City, that harbinger of spring, the circus comes to town with a bigger and more thrilling show than ever. Out in the State of Washington, spring mud is here, and the motorcycle racers seem to dote on it and wallow in it. Yep, spring is practically here.
