 UP TO LIN
President Expresses Hope that Third World War
 Can Be Avoided

WASHINGTON, Jan. - tR = President Truman said today that United States forces will not bomb China without United Nations sane tion.
 He made this clear at news conference in which he again ex- pressed hope that third world war can be avoided this year.
 He also said, in response to ques- tions as to what point would have to be reached before he would have to consult Congress on declaration of war, that if the proper time ar rived, the proper action would be taken.
 He hopes the time will never come when he would have to ask for a declaration of war, he said, adding that the time has not come yet.
 He said the action in Korea is pro- ceeding under the direction of the United Nations and this country is always willing to negotiate.
 But, as to the Russian reply to a proposal for a Big Four Foreign Ministers conference, he said he would stand by Secretary of State Acheson's statement yesterday that further clarification is needed to restate the Soviet position that the Ministers should meet to discuss German questions.
 MT Truman emphasized that the United States is not formally at war. We are carrying out our ob- legations to the United Nations.
 At the Pentagon, Secretary of De- fense Marshall said the situation in Korea is developing almost exactly as anticipated and that LIN. forces have been deployed to meet this an- ticipation."
