...Korea, the Communists in recent weeks have been doing much of their fighting with loudspeakers. Red messages blare across no man's land promising hot food, good treatment and warm shelter to Eighth Army troops who go over to the Red side.

The girls shrank from dolls, the boys were frightened...
...delighted the Fair Traders. It also tentatively decided to okay a bill approving the non-signer clause. (This week the Budget Bureau wrote Celler that "enactment of the legislation would not be in accord with the program of the President.") Outraged, Macy's took ads in Manhattan to blare: "'Fair Trade' is a misleading title. The real title is Price-Fixing...
