In a speech to the National Press Club in Washington, he announced that he had been "in error" when he recently proposed a time-limit ultimatum to the Communists in Korea.

France's Robert Schuman tapped for silence...
...Stalin Prize for the first volume of his novel Le Premier Choc (The First Blow), glorifying French stevedores who end up sabotaging U.S. military shipments to France under the Atlantic Pact. Last week Editor Stil was doing even better work for the party. On the eve of General Ridgway's arrival in Paris to take over NATO's command, he proclaimed mass demonstrations against the "microbe killer," ran cartoons showing Ridgway leading an army of insects.
