MacArthur Likely Unable to Get Needed Korean War Powers
Washington reports indicate Gen Douglas MacArthur likely will not obtain the expanded UN authority and battlefield leeway he says are essential for defeating the Chinese Communists in Korea. Officials point to moves toward Western Europe troop dispatches and a desire for a negotiated Korea as factors limiting gains. A Tokyo briefing noted that gains have been tactical and a cross 38th parallel push would require offsetting the Communist advantage in Manchuria.
