Peace feelers denied as Koreans silent on UN talks
A Foreign Office spokesman in London said no peace feelers from North Korea have been received by the U N or any intermediary power. New Delhi officials added they had no information on such proposals circulating at the U N. In Ohio Taft urged UN forces to cross the 38th parallel and occupy North Korea after victory, with an election for a united Korea to follow. MacArthur reportedly has authority to cross the line if needed to destroy the Communist army, though no final decision on occupation after fighting remains.
