United States Eyes China Cease-aid Plan in Korea
The United States considers a U N Security Council demand that the Chinese Communists cease aiding North Korea. Officials say the plan would avoid labeling aggression and would not tie Peiping to Chinese troops. MacArthur says Chinese Red forces are opposing UN troops amid uncertain reports of limited Chinese activity. The State Department seeks a UN action that continues past policy to curb Communist aggression without committing China’s huge land forces. No official support for Chiang Kai-shek’s offer to send 33,000 Nationalist troops. Knowland urges acceptance to resist Communists with non‑Communist help.
