Republicans Back Truman as Emergency Measures Discussed
Republican congressional leaders pledged full support for a rapid build up of armed strength and said a dangerous emergency exists after a White House conference with President Truman. The meeting followed news of a Friday night radio address on the world crisis. Russia rejected an Asian Arab plan for a Korean cease fire, saying US and Britain would use a truce to prepare a new attack and that no peace in Korea would come until UN troops withdraw. Malik urged UN not to adopt a resolution ensuring foreign troops in Korea. The conference included Taft, Wherry, and Reed, and Dewey was slated to give a major address on the crisis.
