Cross Border Debate Stirs Korea Front MacArthur Clarifies Limits
At General MacArthur headquarters officials say Truman cleared crossing the 38th parallel remains a military matter for U.N. command. They stress no formal overtures to halt the cross north of the line and describe British press influence as unofficial.
