Truman walks to White House as Malik peace bid surfaces
President Truman left Blair House for the White House mid afternoon amid talks on Malik’s peace proposal. Officials cited U.N. demands for assurances against a fresh Communist attack and for negotiations through the U.N. The day before the Korean war’s first anniversary, U.N. forces gain strength while Communist casualties rise. Senator George warned the move was a trial balloon and urged caution until more facts emerged. Secretary Acheson and other officials favored a cease fire near the 38th parallel as a route to settlement.
