Small scale enemy probing at

kremIin Must Show
Hand in Korea Now,
u. 5. Officials Believe
BY The Assoeioted Press

~ u'S SN~SSNtotSo
State Department officials be-
heve that the Korean struggle has
now entered the critical period
they have long expected in which
the Kremlin must disclose its real
intentions for the future.
This belief, officials said, Is
borne out both by American mill
tary estimates that the battle line
Is fairly well stabilized and by
intelligence reports indicating q
massing of two Chinese Commu-
mist armies on the Manchurian-
Korean border.
The significance of the stiffen-
ing battlefront, diplomats said, is
that the men in the Kremlin must
now know beyond question that
North Korean Red forces unaided
by Russian or Chinese troops are
doomed to defeat. They face the
prospect that in q relatively few
months United Nations armies
may be driving into North Korea.
Chinese Factors Cited.
The significance of the reported
Chinese troop movements was re-
garded here as this: An indication
that the Communists have decided
what their next major move is to
be and are getting set to make it.
It does not necessarily mean
they will enter the war.
At one extreme. q fateful new
Red step might mean involving
American troops under the U. N.
flag in direct combat with Chinese
or Russian forces; at the other
extreme, it might result in build
ing barrier of Red defense forces
to keep the Korean war from
spilling over into Manchuria.
officials here believe that in the
main the Soviets and their satel-
lites have three alternative courses
open to them at this point.
First, and many officials think
most probably. they may occupy
Northern Korea in an effort to
prevent the United States-U. N.
forces from crossing the 38th
parallel and moving in close to
Manchuria and the Russian port
of Vladivostok.
Settlement Possible.
Second, being confronted with
the prospect of a North Korean
defeat, they may make an effort
to settle the fighting in some
manner acceptable both to Rus
sia and to the West.
Third. they may send armed
forces into the fight on the side
of the North Koreans in open
defiance of the U. N. and COM
plete disregard of the way in
which other nations in Asia and
Europe would react.
Most officials here believe that
the Russians are still anxious to
avoid moves which might lead
to a general war. There is also
constant speculation in Washing
ton that the Chinese Communists,
with economic and political
troubles of their own, must be
resisting any Soviet pressure tc
get them to take on the burden
of the fight.
Hence, official Washington gen.
orally believes that the Soviets
and the Chinese will take some
measure short of open belliger-
ency but designed to keep United
States forces from moving too
close to Manchuria and Russian
maritime provinces.
The most obvious way to do
that is to re-occupy Northern
Korea. Such a development
would greatly complicate the
question of how to solve the
Korean problem permanently, but
would appear to minimize the
dangers of more general fighting
at this time.
