Korean Plans In Mothballs In Eisenhower Transition
Washington officials say the Truman administration will not pursue new Korea moves before President-elect Eisenhower takes office. Policy shifts will await his administration, with two main reasons given: not before Jan. 20 and to maintain Allied unity under the United Nations. Military and diplomatic options hinge on Armistice prospects and how the new regime views pressure on China. An early focus may be on the Indian-backed UN resolution and potential actions after the General Assembly reconvenes post holiday recess.
