General Clark Seeks More Allied Divisions For Korea Push
Tokyo sources say General Clark will tell President-elect Eisenhower he must have additional Allied divisions for a new UN offensive in Korea. He also wants a blockade of China and a ban drop on air attacks against Manchurian bases, plus greater Western arms priority over Europe. Clark questions Korea’s ability to defeat the 1,000,000 strong North Korean force without more forces and stresses not seeking to break truce talks. He favors China Kai-shek’s offer of two Nationalist divisions and urges Europe and Asia democracies to share the war burden.
