Rhee May Shift Tactics To Reach Armistice Accord
In Tokyo a high level source says Syngman Rhee may drop two demands blocking an armistice if the United States agrees to a firm military defense pact. He will not concede on the alliance, while seeking a pledge to deter further Communist aggression and to rush aid if Korea is attacked. Rhee and Walter Robertson have been in secret talks in Seoul while urging a lasting security pact with the U.S. and UN military leaders in Tokyo. The aim is to end the bloody conflict with an armistice and a formal alliance.
