Crossing 38th Parallel In Korea To Be U N Decision
The United States will defer to the United Nations to decide if UN forces advance north of the 38th parallel in Korea once the counter offensive begins. Diplomats say the decision will be among the UN’s hardest, to be made after sufficient ground forces arrive. The timing could be months away and depend on Russia’s stance within the UN.

President May Be Given Free Hand On War Controls
Senate House conferees near completing a bill to grant President Truman near total power to impose war emergency economic controls. The main hurdle is the Bricker amendment requiring nationwide price and wage ceilings, with only minor exceptions. The measure would also empower rationing, priorities, scarce-material allocation, credit controls, and actions to curb defense-disrupting labor disputes. Conferees also dropped a Senate provision granting Secretary Sawyer broad allocation powers, though Sawyer would handle much of the administrative load.
