New Peace Move Seen At Parallel 38
London and Washington report signs of a possible new peace initiative along the 38th parallel. Secretary Acheson says no Chinese Communist proposals have been received while U S policy remains open to a real settlement with guarantees against further aggression. Lt Gen Van Fleet says the pursuit phase ended after ejecting the Communists from South Korea. Skepticism persists that Peiping will send feelers, with some suggesting Moscow as the source.

Truman Signs Bill Restricting Aid to Communist Nations
President Truman signed an appropriations bill to curb economic aid to Communist countries while allowing broad liberal exemptions. He called the Kem rider defective and urged a quicker, workable replacement. Senator Kem called the rider State Department jargon and promised more comment. The measure funds 369 million dollars for the Atomic Energy Commission and Civil Defense, with the rider cutting trade with Russia and satellites but continuing Yugoslavia. Truman proposed substitute legislation centered on selective cutoffs to aid non Communist security.
