...carried Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Colorado, California, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Not bad. We carried Michigan for all of the ticket but [Harry F.] Kelly [the G.O.P. candidate in the still-disputed governor's race], and carried all of the state for him except C.I.O. Detroit and the upper peninsula, which, without railroad mail service from Chicago, is lacking in education. Next time, we will have to go down and educate Missouri and Kentucky...
Wails of Dismay. The mystery of what the Chinese interventionists were up to in Korea remained unclarified last week, and they refused to explain themselves at Lake Success (see below). But the theory that they intended to drive the Allies back below the 38th parallel, or even off the peninsula altogether, was somewhat less tenable than before.

For its builder, Burt E. Hull, 66, a bluff, weatherbeaten Texan, who has been building pipelines for 40 years, it was the biggest job since he built the wartime Big and Little Inch pipelines. As president of Trans-Arabian Pipe Line Co., Hull now bosses the Arabian line for the four giant U.S. oil companies which financed it-Standard Oil Co. (N.J.), Standard...
