Truman May Assist
Some Candidates in
Election Campaigns
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman is reported
to be toying with the idea of TAX
ing some part in the congress
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 sue
cesseS,
While Presidential advisers con-
cede the possibility 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
e 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 ma
tionally broadcast appeals for
election of a Democratic Congress
or as he told the women of the
Nation in a broadcast Wednesday,
Congress that will guarantee the
peace.
Truman Views Aired.
The Presidents views on the
necessity of pushing the effort
came during a press conference
exchange in which he expressed
qualification 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.
:, When reporter wanted to know
where the blocking move would
come from, the President re-
sponded by asking with a laugh
ehow long the questioner had been
around Washington.
- Mr.. Truman said it could be ex-
spected from Congress, which must
appropriate the necessary money,
land he emphasized he hoped it
would not be successful.
Silent on Crossing of 38.
o. The President said he hoped the
Korean war would end with a
peace satisfactory to every one,
but he refused to discuss what
would be done about sending
armed forces across the 38th par
hllel into North Korea.
He agreed that the United
Nations resolution under which
Gen. Macarthur is operating as
supreme commander is very broad
bn that point, but amplified that
this Government had been con-
suited 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
saying that James F. 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.

Parallel

legal nor a natural boundary
Originally, it was drawn 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 o1
the parallel, the Russians woulC
administer the same task north
of it.
So the line was drawn. 1t was
intended as a mere administrative
detail. But the vivisection of Ko-
rea followed shortly.
North of the line the Russians
quickly established a prefabricateo
Communist government composed
of Koreans well-versed in Soviet
methods. A Soviet economic and
political system was quickly in
stalled. A Red North Korean state
came into eXistance.
Has No Legal Status.
1t was not a government elected
by the people. 1t still has nc
legal status. It has never recog-
nized United Nations authority
nor even permitted representatives
| of the U. N. to come into North
Korea. 1t became an appendage
of the Soviet Union hermetrically
sealed from the rest of the world.
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, presi-
dent and a cabinet came into
being.
The two governments made one
abortlve attempt in 1947 to wipe
out the boundary and form a uni
fed nation. It failed mainly be-
cause the cold war had begun be-
tween the United States and the
Soviet Union and each state
was representative of the di-
vided world.
Situation in June.
That was the situation three
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. It's remnants are surround
ed in the south. Smaller frag-
ments are fleeing back across 38
At this point, the question o1
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 il
they knew.
The general belief is that Gen
MacArthur's own opinion will
emerge as U. N. decision. He is
in the best position to examine
the problem; first, from the stand.
point of military consideration.
and, second, from the standpoint
OF the political and economic
situation that would exist in Kores
If it remained bisected.

Armed Services And Wi|dIife Service Agree On Withdrawals

we are confident that when some of these enlisted men get to know our woods and streams they will settle in Alaska, as civilians. The General has agreed with me, however, that enough land to construct a cabin and for the landing of boats should determine the size of these rec reational areas, generally. Gen eral Twining and his aides have shown a sincere interest in fish and wildlife problems as they are related to military occu- pancy. He has assured me that pending withdrawals. as well as any future needs will be dras- tically reduced in line with his policy of limiting military with drawals to real needs"
 It is recalled that at a recent meeting of the military com mand with the heads of other Federal agencies, hel. in Juneau agreement was reached on the general problem of land with drawals in Alaska. Other Fed eral departments, as well as the armed forces, agreed to keep in close contact with the Bureau of Land Management and the Fish and Wildlife Service on land withdrawals and the trimming of many withdrawals, now con Sidered excessive.

 General Twining is a sports man himself,' Rhode said, and was completely sympathetic with the Alaskan viewpoint when l told him that many areas containing valuable wildlife were being denied to Alaskans.
