BLOCKADE
RED CHINA
PROPOSED
Truman, His Advisers Now
Taking Tough Line on
Korean Issue

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7-tR-Pre-
sident Truman and Prime Minister
Attlee today were reported serious
ly considering a blockade of the
Red China coast If United Nations
troops are long beleaguered or are
driven out of Korea.
The proposal was described by
diplomatic informants as one Of
several ways considered for dealing
with the Chinese Communists ag-
erosion, depending on what actu-
ally happens in the Korean fight
ing.
Negotiation of a settlement is
another possible way and the Pre-
sident and Prime Minister are
ready to consider any Chinese peace
move provided it does not involve
"appeasement."
In general, 1t appears that Mr..
Truman and his advisers are TAX
ing a much tougher line than Attlee
on the Far East, both as to possible
negotiations or as to putting direct
pressure on the Chinese Reds out
side Korea.
Informed officials said that Sc
cretary of State Acheson put for
ward the blockade proposal at the
secret Truman-Attlee meetings
which are now in the fourth day.
Attlee Cold
Attlee was described as cold to
the suggestion but willing to discuss
it.
What Attlee clearly would like
to get agreement on here-but
what he apparently has little or no
hope of obaining-is course of
Anglo-American action aimed at
bringing the Far Eeastern crisis to
a close at the earliest possible mo-
ment and by broad scale negotia-
ton with the Chinese Reds If nee
essary.
President Truman Is understood
to have made emphatically clear
to the British leader that the Cni-
ted States will have no part of Cd
any "appeasement," which Attlee
himself has rejected, or CD of any
Korean settlement which involves
bargaining on outside, non-Korean
issues-for example Red China's
desire for United Nations member
ship and for control over the Chin
ese Nationalist held Island of For
moSa.

CEASE-FIRE
PROPOSAL TO
CHINA REDS
Intervention in Korea Dis
eussed, No Good Re-
suits, United Nations

LAKE SUCCESS, Dec. 7 Up -
France led a western power move
in the United Nations today for top
priority consideration of Commun-
list China's intervention in Korea.
Russia Immediately opposed the
move.
The clash took place in the Gen.
eral Assembly's Donation political
committee. Jean Chauvel. French
Delegate, said Chinese participation
in the Korean fighting is grave
question that affects the peace Of
the whole world. He said it should
take precedence over all other items
before the committee.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrea
Y. Vishinsky said Chauvel's demand
was most unprecedented" He ar
gued that the committee must con-
tinue with debate on Russia's
charges of American aggression
against Formosa.
While the procedural wrangle tied
up the committee, UN diplomats
anxiously awaited word from Peip-
ing whether the Chinese Reds are
ready to accept any of the several
pleas for a cease-fire. midas Sir
Bengal N. Rau, one of the leaders
in the peace efforts, said this morn
ing he still has received no reply
from Chisese Communist envoy WI
hsiu- Chuan.
Rau conferred privately with WI
twice last weekend and submitted
to him some proposals.

OKEH DEBATE RED ISSUE

LAfAE OOCCESS, Lee. I-tHF-
Despite vigorous Soviet opposition,
the UN political committee decid-
ed today to give top priority to de-
bate on a six-power demand for the
withdrawal of Chinese Communists
from Korea.
The vote was AZ to 5 (Soviet
bloc).
Russias Andrea Y. Vishinsky told
the committee "the American in
tervention in Korea is the crux OF
the third world war and it must be
halted to avert it."
The Soviet Foreign Minister told
the Donation political committee he
wished to lodge determined pro-
test" against the vote.
Before he spoke. another Com
munist delegate, Vavro Hadju of
Czechoslovakia, said any demand
for the Chinese Reds to withdraw
would have only "platonic value"
within a few days because of the
rapid retreat of the UN forces.

Exactly how many Reds re-

But American intelligence officers
reported there was little evidence

Prisoners from one Red division,
the 34th, reported it was at only
half strength when organized
about one month ago.
| However, the Reds still appeared
capable of moving up sizable

100 vehicles, was headed for
Pyongyang. Another of so trucks

Revised Draft Of Plan
To Strengthen U. N.
Up for Study Today
BY the Assoeiofed Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 16.-The
United Nations Assembly Political
Committee tackles the second
stage of it's get-strong peace pro-
gram today. a point by point dis
cussion of an American-backed
seven-nation plan.
John Foster Dulles, American
delegate who guided the plan
through the general debate last
week, offers the 60-nation COM
mittee a revised draft including
suggestions from nine other coun-
tries for discussion.
The plan still has as its main
points emergency sessions OF the
veto-free General Assembly, peace
observer patrols, U. N. troop units
in each members army, and a
committee to study how to use
member aid for collective security.
The revised draft promises
equipment for designated U. N.
units but SHES away from giving
any region priority. 1t also agrees
that the Assembly can be called
only by a vote of seven Security
Council members or majority OF
the Assembly and only when a
breach of peace actually has oc-
Cured.
May Be Delayed.
Mr.. Dulles first explained the
United States viewpoint on the
revised resolution when it was cir
culated at the U. N. Saturday. He
said Russia opposed either the
United States or the u. N. getting
strong.
He charged that Russia doesn't
want the U. N. to do anything
about insuring peace so it has
called again for big power con-
sultations. Mr.. Dulles said Russia
has stalled for four years through
consultations on an Austrian
peace treaty and German and Ko-
rean unity, and is stalling now on
the question of japanese treaty.
Aggression f1ourished behind the
Soviet screen Of invitations to
consult, he added, and it now was
time for the Russians to show by
deeds that they were sincere in
pleas for new talks.
Some American delegation
sources looked for quick majority
approval, with a possible vote by
an Assembly plenary session late
this week. Two possibilities
threatened to delay it.
One was move to put the pro-
posals in the hands of sub
committee in an attempt to
reconcile some Russian proposals
although Mr.. Dulles said most
of the Russian proposals would
gravely cripple the plan by in
sisting that only the Security
Council could have authority to
recommend use of U N. troops.
Truman Speech Awaited.
Another was the probability of
an Assembly plenary session to-
morrow or Wednesday to decide
on keeping Trygve Lie as secre-
tary-general for from two to five
years after his first f1ve-year
term expires next February.
Although President Truman's
speech in San Francisco tomor-
row night may answer many
questions on United States Far
East policy, delegations here are
anxious to hear the President re-
port here October "a about his
discussions with Gen. Macarthur
on many problems of the world
organization.
The Security Council today
holds its first open meeting this
month under presidency of
American Delegate Warren Aus
tin. Previous meetings to con-
slider the secretary-ge ques-
ton were closed. Only item on
today's agenda is the Palestine
question.
