that he is ready to appoint a su
preme commander in Europe as
soon as our Allies can get together
on that course.
He said the size and effective
ness of our own armed forces will
be increased.
There was no reference to Mr.
Truman’s prepared statement to
the atomic bomb.
It was in response to questions
that he said active consideration
is being given to the use of it.
Quickly then, he expressed a de
vout hope it would not have to be
used.
He said consideration of the use
of every weapon is being given
constantly and that the decision of
whether to drop atomic bombs
was one for the commander in the
field.
In replying to other questions,
the President said the matter of
whether the United Nations troops
should bomb across the Manchur
ian border is one for the United
Nations to decide.
A reporter asked when this
country should expect all-out
mobilization on the home front—
tightened controls, possibly price
and wage controls.
Mr. Truman replied that those
matters are being given careful
consideration.
Asked about criticism of Mac
Arthur growing out of the Chi
nese communist invasion across
the Manchurian border, the Presi
dent said theer are always people
who are for a man when he’s
winning and who are ready to
jump on him when there are set
backs.
MacArthur, he said, has done a
good job.
A reporter said there had been
criticism that MacArthur exceed
ed his authority and went beyond
the point in Korea he was sup
posed to go.
General MacArthur, the Presi
dent declared, did nothing of the
kind.
The President also made clear

PALMER, (/P) — A Matanuska
Valley family headed back to Cal
ifornia today after losing all their
belongings to an element they
never expected to find in the
northland—a prairie-type fire.
Norman Wallis, his wife and
two children, newcomers to the
valley, lost everything but the
clothes on their backs when brush
and grass fires destroyed their
cabin last week-end. The fires
were reported in hand yesterday
after threatening many homes in
Palmer and Wasilla.
The Wallises were going to Oak-j

build a new stake for another try i

that the policy against accepting
the offer of Nationalist Chinese
troops has not changed.
The offer was not accepted, he
said, in the hope that such a
course would prevent involvment
of the world in a third world war.
That policy, he said, continues.
He said it still is the policy to
keep Formosa neutralized.
LAKE SUCCESS (#>)—The Chi
nese communist delegation to the
United Nations declined comment j
yesterday on President Truman’s
statement that use of the atomic
bomb against the Chinese com
munists is under consideration.
Pu Shan, a member of the Red
delegation, was shown a news
dispatch on the President’s state
ment. He said Gen. Wu Hsui
Chuan, head of the delegation,
would have nothing to say at this
time.
Soviet deputy foreign minister

Maj. Gen. Edward M. Almond,
commander of the 10th Corps said
up to 80,000 Chinese suddenly
confronted his troops and the sit
uation “manifestly requires an en
tirely new evaluation.” Up until
now the main weight of the Red
Chinese power play has been
against the U. N. forces in the
northwest.
(iP) correspondent Don White
head reported that many military
men are questioning General Mac
Arthur’s setup, in whioh the 10th
Corps is operating entirely inde
pendently of the Eighth Army.
Closer liaison between the two
main U. N. forces was advocated.
Newspapers in Western Europe
yesterday hurled criticism at Mac
Arthur for mixing politics with
military matters. Paris reports
said the French and the British
were annoyed that MacArthur
had launched his “end-the-war”
offensive against the advice of
British and French advisors in
Tokyo who urged that -a buffer
territory be worked out in the
Manchuria-Korea border region.
At Lake Success, a Soviet veto
was expected to block Security
Council action on Korea. But the
Western powers planned to indict
the Chinese communists within
24 hour in the veto-free U. N. as
sembly.
The Council has before it a six
nation resolution calling for com

troops from Korea and assuring
the Peiping government that her
borders will be held sacred by U.

assistant on Stassen’s staff, said.
He will return from London Janu

In 1947 Stassen journeyed
through Europe, conferring with
heads of 15 nations, including
Premier Stalin of Russia. He has
arranged meetings with many
leaders on this trip.
Stassen’s recent request for an
other audience with the Soviet
leader to discuss world conditions
has gone without a formal reply.
Matteson said plans for the
coming trip would be altered
should Stalin indicate willingness
to meet with Stassen.
Matteson will accompany Stas
