Bradley Says U S Seeks To Halt Foe And Seek Peace
General Omar Bradley testified at Senate hearings that U N troops aim to halt the Communist spring offensive and seek negotiations for a ceasefire. He said the objective is to inflict maximum casualties with minimal own losses to enable negotiations, not to drive China and Korea out of Korea. Bradley noted March truce efforts were abandoned after MacArthur issued an ultimatum and Truman dismissed him. He added Joint Chiefs discussed peace possibilities as early as February and that a spring new attack was anticipated, with hopes to "bump off" that assault to improve negotiating position.

County Attorney Davis said the case is unlikely the girl is alive, but hope remains.
