PRESIDENT TRUMAN ANNOUNCES AMERICAN BUILD UP! The United States Army, in response to the continuing fighting in Europe and Manchuria, has begun a new era of construction of tanks, guns, and planes. President Truman set as a goal 50 new divisions armed with the best available equipment.
CATTLE SHUT DOWN TEXAS! In what appears to be the largest practical joke in history, herds of cattle have been released from their holding pens and have swamped the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth. Many confused citizens woke up to find their street filled with cattle. Police have not yet found a way to remove the cattle, as ranchers do not want to harm their livestock. As such business has halted as the cows clog the streets and cities.
ANTI-JAPANESE RIOTS IN CHINA! In cities such as Nanjing, Shanghai, and Peking, the people of China have attacked any Japanese citizens of those towns, and have burned the Japanese embassy and hung the ambassador. This coincides with the 2 year anniversary of the end of the Sino-Japanese War. The Japanese have protested and refuse to send another ambassador to the Chinese nation.

MORE NUKES! As the war in Iberia calmed after the failed British assault from Gilbralter, British planes, flown by German pilots, dropped a German-built nuclear weapon on Madrid after eluding Spainish fighter patrols. The city went up in a great nuclear cloud, and the minor functionaries of the Spainish government were eliminated causing some damage. Garrison forces and industry were also damaged. Some British planes were also destroyed as a result of flying accidently in the range of the weapon. In retailiation, a Soviet submarine snuck into Liverpool harbor, detonated a weapon and leveled the city.
