Secretary of State Acheson said the United States seeks a common Allied view on the 38th Parallel issue but requires no new authority for U N forces to cross the boundary between North and South Korea. He noted consultations with nations with troops in Korea and aligned with MacArthur's command while distinguishing political authorization from practical crossing actions. Continuous coverage indicates U N command already has ample authority to act if needed.
