* Republic of the United States of Indonesia
* Dutch East Indies sovereignty transfer

The top of the front page has a two column heading: "U. S. Recognizes Indonesia; Cochran Made Ambassador" with subheads and related photo. (see) Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 46 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
