Truman May Assist Some Candidates in Election Campaigns

By Joseph A. Fox President Truman is reported

* to be toying with the idea of tak-

ing some part in the congres- sional campaign—but there will be on letup in his defense planning, and he does not want any relaxa- tion by the American people either, despite the Korean suc-

cesses

i While Presidential advisers con- cede the possbility that Mr. Tru- man will make a few appearances In key States—maybe over week ends from Washington—the Pres- ident told his news conference yesterday that he could make no statement on campaign plans, emphasizing that there was much to be done to build up this coun- try’s armed strength.

Democratic leaders are under- stood to be urging Mr. Truman at least to make two or three na-

tionally broadcast appeals for .election of a Democratic Congress —or as he told the women of the Nation in a broadcast Wednesday, a Congress that will guarantee the peace.

Truman Views Aired. The President’s views on the

necessity of pushing the effort came during a press conference exchange in which he expressed gratification over the turn of af- fairs in Korea. He added, how- ever, that he anticipated what he termed a sincere effort to block the whole thing—meaning the re-

arming program—now that the skies are clearing.

He said he stood with Gen. Bradley in the conviction that we cannot afford to let down our

guard. f. When a reporter wanted to know whei e the blocking move would come from, the President re-

sponded by asking with a laugh how long the questioner had been around Washington.

Mr. Truman said it could be ex-

pected from Congress, which must j appropriate the necessary money, I

3and he emphasized he hoped it! would not be successful.

Silent on Crossing of 38. 0 The President said he hoped the j Korean war would end with a

pea 'e satisfactory to every one,! but he refused to discuss what

tould be done about sending rmed forces across the 38th par-

allel into North Korea,

j He agreed that the United Nations’ resolution under which

pen. MacArthur is operating as

pupreme commander is very broad bn that point, but amplified that this Government had been con- sulted about the MacArthur ap- pointment by the U. N. and that it was to be expected that the question of MacArthur-led forces crossing the dividing line between North and South Korea also would be submitted to Washing- ton.

Mr. Truman would not com- ! ment on "The Man of Indepen- dence,” the new' Truman biog- raphy, in which he is quoted as j saying that James P. Byrnes "failed miserably” 'as Secretary of State, and “lost his nerve” in dealing with the Russians.

The book speaks for itself, he said with a smile.

; SOUTH KOREANS CHASE REDS TO 38th PARALLEL—The South Korean 3d Division was reported today to have chased a

Red Korean force to the 38th parallel on the Korean east coast I in the vicinity of Yangyang (A). Gen. MacArthur visited Seoul

(B) for a victory parade. On the other fronts, United Nations forces were mopping up in Taejon (C) and were nearing Kwangju (D), 25 miles from Korea’s southwest coast. Open arrows indi- j cate retreat routes of the North Koreans. —AP Wirephoto Map.

Parallel (Continued From First Page.)

legal nor a natural boundary, j Originally, it was drawrn purely for military convenience. At the end of the Pacific war in 1945 there were thousands of Japanese troops in Korea. The United States and Russia agreed Ameri- can troops would accept the sur-

render of Japanese units south of the parallel, the Russians would administer the same task north of it.

So the line was drawn. It was intended as a mere administrative detail. But the vivisection of Ko- rea followed shortly.

North of the line the Russians quickly established a prefabricated Communist government composed of Koreans well-versed in Soviet methods. A Soviet economic and political system wras quickly in-

1 stalled. A Red North Korean state came into existance.

Has No Legal Status. It was not a government elected

by the people. It still has no legat status. It has never recog- nized United Nations authority nor even permitted representatives of the U. N. to come into North Korea. It became an appendage of the Soviet Union hermetrically sealed from the rest of the world. I

In the south, meanwhile, demo- cratic methods — slower, more cumbersome, and far from perfect in planning or execution—brought about the election of a Constituent Assembly. A constitution, a presi- j dent and a cabinet came into- being.

The two governments made one abortive attempt in 1947 to wipe out the boundary and form a uni- fied nation. It failed mainly be- cause the cold war had begun be- tween the United States and the Soviet Union and each “state” was a representative of the di- vided world.

Situation in June. That was the situation three j

months ago when the North Ko- reans, striking with treachery and overwhelming strength but only a token of Russian-made power suddenly attacked the south.

The Red Army is shattered now. Its remnants are surround- ed in the south. Smaller frag- ments are fleeing back across 38.,

At this point, the question of passing beyond the 38th parallel is still primarily a military mat- ter, a question of the next move. Therefore no American officers would discuss it positively even if they knew.

The general belief is that Gen. MacArthur’s own opinion will emerge as a U. N. decision. He is in the best position to examine the problem; first, from the stand- point of military considerations and, second, from the standpoint of the political and economic situation that would exist in Korea if it remained bisected.

earlier in a covered trench near

the police station. Eighteen other Americans were listed by United States 1st Cavalry intelligence officers as slain at Chongju, 22 miles north of Taejon. More than 780 South Koreans were re-

ported massacred there. Two hundred other South Ko-

rean civilians were reported mas- sacred last night by Reds pocket- ed on the southern tip of the peninsula. A Korean naval offi- cer said those slain were known to have been democratic' leaders and families of South Korean soldiers.

Allied Forces Mopping Up. Throughout Southwest and

West Korea, Allied forces mopped up on Red pockets. Far East Air Force bombers and fighters flew a record of 792 sorties to take an effective part in the cleanup.

The Air Force summary said some of the Allied fighters re- turned to bases with their rockets and bombs still in their racks be- cause no suitable targets could be found.

However, the United States 5th Air Force reported that yesterday was one of its best hunting days of the war. with 34 tanks and 150 vehicles destroyed or damaged north of Taejon. Fighter planesj strafed a pocket of Red troops in the area.

An Air Force spokesman re- ported stiff resistance there, with North Koreans playing dead only | to rise up and fire at planes and American columns.

Allied columns were striking out in several directions in the south. Gen. MacArthur's spokes-' man said the United States 2nd' Division continued its advance after pushing more than 40 miles'

I yesterday to seize Chonju. work on Enemy Pockets.

Other elements of the division worked on enemy pockets near Samga and Koryong, other cities in the central-southwest region.

In the south, the United States 25th Division rolled westward from liberated Namwon and Ha- dong. It had spearheads aimed at the southwest coast—toward the port of Kunsan and in the deep southwest tip of Korea.

North of these divisions, the United States 1st Cavalry and 7th Divisions solidified their line, trap- ping remnant Red forces south of the long line from the old south- east beachhead perimeter to Su- won, 22 miles south of Seoul.

Northwest of Seoul United States Marines moved against Reds near Kimpo Airfield. Gen. MacArthur’s spokesman said some Red reinforcements had moved into the area.

There was no late report on Allied operations northeast of Seoul, toward Uijongbu, where the last Reds withdrew from the cap- ital. For the first time in a week, American troops who captured the fire-blackened city relaxed.
