Eisenhower Arrives in Korea for Secret Front Visit
General Eisenhower touched down at 1 57 p m Tuesday amid tight security in Korea. U S officials limited his movements to division headquarters and nearby combat zones to avoid risk from small planes over the front. Despite calls from some U S military and South Koreans for a wider offensive, officials stressed caution about expanding the war while Panmunjom peace talks linger. Officials in Seoul staged a welcome overrun by crowds, but Hagerty said the schedule forbids personal appearances and denied security or political motives.
