  • The Federal Communications Commission released a statement that it favored the CBS technology for color television broadcasting. The FCC said also that the other two proposed systems (by RCA and by Color Television Incorporated) "fell short" of the FCC requirements, and recommended television set manufacturers to build sets that could receive both the CBS system and standard black-and-white analog signals.[1] Television manufacturers declined to make sets that accommodated the CBS system, and eventually a different system by RCA would become the industry standard.[2]

  • The case of Bolling v. Sharpe began when 11 African-American students were denied enrollment in Washington, D.C.'s new John Philip Sousa Junior High School, because the U.S. Congress had voted years earlier for racial segregation of District of Columbia schools.

General MacArthur at Inchon
  • At 6:33 a.m., the 3rd Battalion of the 5th U.S. Marines, commanded by Lt. Col. Raymond L. Murray, became the first American invaders at Inchon Harbor, going ashore on Wolmido Island and quickly overwhelming the North Korean People's Army soldiers there. By midnight, there were 13,000 Marines on the west coast of the Korean peninsula, with a loss of only 21 Americans dead, compared to hundreds of NKPA soldiers. The city of Inchon would be liberated the next day and the Marines would proceed to the South Korean capital, Seoul.[54][55] Masterminded by U.S. Army General Douglas MacArthur, the Inchon landing was the beginning of the retaking of South Korea from its North Korean conquerors. The attack, combined with the UN forces' breakout from the Pusan Perimeter three days later, suddenly trapped the NKPA forces, concentrated in the south, behind enemy lines.[56] The straits between the island and the mainland were dangerous, and navigation depended on predicting the time for high and low tides; one historian would write later, "As MacArthur had assumed, no one expected a landing there."[57] Six hours before the Inchon landing, General MacArthur, along with U.S. Navy Vice-Admiral Arthur D. Struble, U.S. Marine Lt. Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd, and U.S. Army Major Gen. Edward C. Almond rode in an unarmed boat to Woimi Island to observe the tides; a reporter would write the next day that "The North Koreans had a chance to kill Gen. Douglas MacArthur and the rest of the top commanders of the United Nations invasion forces with one well-placed artillery shell. But they muffed it. They didn't fire a single shot."[58]
  • The Great Naktong Offensive ended in failure, leaving North Korean forces at a disadvantage against United Nations counterattack.

September 16, 1950 (Saturday)

[edit]
  • The 1950 NFL season opened with a game between the defending NFL champion Philadelphia Eagles, and the Cleveland Browns, who had been the 1949 champions of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) before the two leagues had merged. During the four years of the AAFC's existence, the NFL and AAFC champions had never played each other; the Browns defeated the Eagles 35–10.[59]
  • In a convoy of fifty trucks, the North Korean Army drove 1,250 South Korean and American prisoners of war to a mountain valley, fed them rice and wine, and then, after being signaled by a blue flare, carried out a massacre of the group. Listed as "Korean War Crimes case number 279" in 1953, the evidence of the incident came from a North Korean prisoner who said that he was one of the drivers, and whom the interrogating officers concluded was credible.[60]
  • Both Houses of Congress approved a waiver of the law against a recently retired military man from becoming U.S. Secretary of Defense, clearing the way for General George C. Marshall to assume the office. The House of Representatives approved the measure 202–103, and the Senate followed 47–21.[61]

  • A Miami Herald reporter whose stories were sometimes picked up by the Associated Press, E. V. W. Jones, published the first known press coverage to describe a pattern of disappearances in what would later be referred to as "The Bermuda Triangle". Jones titled his story "Sea's Puzzles Still Baffle Men In Pushbutton Age". The story began with the recent news item about the April 6 disappearance of an American freighter, the Sandra,[63] in the Caribbean Sea, and recounted other recent incidents. The illustration accompanying Jones' story suggested a triangle with points at Bermuda, San Juan, Puerto Rico and Miami.[64][65]
  • India extended diplomatic recognition of the government of Israel.[66]
  • Kurt Lischka, who had led the Gestapo during Germany's occupation of France during World War II, was sentenced by a Paris court, in absentia, to life imprisonment. Lischka had been imprisoned in France in 1945, then extradited to Czechoslovakia in 1947 for war crimes there, but had been released on August 22, 1950, and settled in West Germany. Despite his war crimes convictions, Lischka would serve as a judge for a West German court during his freedom but would eventually be convicted on other charges in a German court. On February 2, 1980, he would be given a ten-year prison sentence, dying in 1989.[67]

  • Three days after U.S. forces made the landing at Inchon, the U.S. Eighth Army and United Nations forces were able to break out of the Pusan Perimeter in southeast Korea, turning the tide of the Korean War. Suddenly, the troops of the North Korean People's Army were between two fronts, with General MacArthur's troops to the north, and General Walker's forces to the south.[3]

  • The Internal Security Act of 1950, also known as the McCarran Act, was passed by the United States Senate after earlier passing the House. The Act required Communist organizations to register with the U.S. Attorney General, prohibited the employment of Communists in federal government jobs, barred the issuance of passports to members of Communist organizations, and, in a clause called the "detention act", gave the President the power to declare an emergency for the purpose of placing suspected Communists and Communist sympathizers into detention camps.[78]

  • The word "brainwashing", an adaptation of the Chinese term hsi nao (literally, "mind cleansing"), first appeared in print.

  • The Second Battle of Seoul ended in United Nations victory as Seoul, the capital of South Korea, was recaptured from the North Korean Army a day after the 7th Division Infantry of the U.S. Marines overran North Korean defenses at South Mountain. The 17th Regiment of the South Korean Army crossed the Han River into Seoul, while the United States 8th Army was 40 miles away and closing in from the south.[91]
  • Retreating back to North Korea, the North Korean Army took with it 376 U.S. prisoners of war, who were forced to march to Pyongyang, 250 miles away, over the next three weeks.[92] Sixty American POWs at Daejon were massacred by their North Korean captors.[93]

  • The smoke from Canadian forest fires, which had darkened the eastern United States two days earlier, moved into the skies over Europe. Due to the scattering of light rays by the unusual dispersal of smoke particles, the smoke caused the appearance of a blue Sun, and, that evening, a (literally) blue moon, an effect not seen since the 1883 eruption of the Krakatoa volcano.[98] Coincidentally, the shadow of the Earth darkened the Moon that morning as well in a lunar eclipse.[99]
  • The first advertisement for a credit card appeared, with an ad in the New York Times for Diners Club that was headlined "Say 'Charge It" At any of the fine restaurants listed below!"[78]

  • General Douglas MacArthur was authorized by the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, with approval by President Truman, to cross the 38th parallel to invade North Korea, as long as there was no indication of an invasion by Soviet or Chinese forces. The directive added, "Under no circumstances, however, will you cross the Manchurian or USSR borders of Korea and, as a matter of policy, no non-Korean ground forces will be used in the north-east provinces bordering the Soviet Union or in the area along the Manchurian border."[100]

  • The liberation of Seoul was celebrated with the return of South Korean President Syngman Rhee and U.S. Army General Douglas MacArthur, appearing together at a noontime ceremony to mark the return of the government to the capital, which had been seized by the People's Army of North Korea in June.[105] General MacArthur declared to the crowd, "By the grace of a merciful Providence, our forces, fighting under the standard of that greatest home and inspiration of mankind, the United Nations, have liberated this ancient city of Seoul."; at the same time, choosing to liberate Seoul rather than cutting off the escape of the North Koreans from Pusan, allowed 30,000 enemy troops to flee back across the border.[106]
  • The Hazel Scott Show, which had premiered in the U.S. on the DuMont Television Network on July 3, was cancelled one week after she had testified before Congress to deny that she was a Communist sympathizer.[107]
  • The Detroit Tigers lost to the Cleveland Indians, 12–2, eliminating them from any chance of winning the American League baseball pennant, and giving the New York Yankees their seventeenth AL title by default.[108]

  • Nearly six months after it had been presented to him by the National Security Council, President Truman signed NSC 68 "as a statement of policy to be followed over the next four or five years".[109] The policy, designed to keep the Soviet Union and China from expanding their influence and control of the world, would be policy for more than forty years.[110] Afterward the United States defense budget more than tripled over the next three years, from $13 billion in 1950 to $48.7 billion in 1953, with foreign military assistance to friendly nations, production of new nuclear weapons, the opening of air bases "that virtually encircled the Soviet Union and China"[111] and increased covert operations.
  • The British Medical Journal published "Smoking and Carcinoma of the Lung: Preliminary Report", the results of the epidemiological study on the relationship of cigarette smoking and lung cancer, made by doctors Richard Doll and Austin Bradford Hill, who concluded that "smoking is a factor, and an important factor, in the production of carcinoma of the lung".[112]
