U. n. Delegates Seek
Formula 10 Solve
Far Eastern Crisis
BY The Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Jan. 6.-Non-
Communist United Nations diplo-
mats conferred behind closed
doors today to find formula that
Will keep the Far Eastern crisis
from splitting their united front.
They agreed that their two i'm
mediate aims are:
1. To localize the Korean war.
2. To preserve the United Ma
tions as a world forum.
They disagreed on how to
achieve them.
The United States wants to
take a strong position, formally
condemn the Chinese Communists
for their aggression in Korea and
proceed from there.
A group of Asian countries, with
at least tacit support from the
British. fear that such a stand
would lead to war with Red China
and play into Russian hands. So
Tar. however, they have not come
forward with any concrete alter
native proposal.
Plan to Seat Red China.
1t Is reported, however, that
their plan is to seat Communist
China in the United Nations and
then try to work out with repre-
sentativeS of that government al
peaceful solution of all Far East
ern problems.
The Asian countries, led by In
dia, are said to feel that the Com
p1unist Peiping government would
Quit fighting in Korea if offered a
deal like that.
The United States position was
set forth yesterday in a speech
by Delegate Warren r. Austin.
He said:
THE free world, if it is to main
tain its solidarity and retain and
fortify its determination to re-
main free, cannot afford to accept
this situation without a demon
stration of its united will to with
stand aggression.
Warns of Fatal Course.
1T would be incomprehensible
for the U. NJ. as the cohesive force
in the free world, to ignore this
aggression. Such a course would
prove as fatal to long-term peace
as the helpless inaction of the
League of Nations in the various
crises which it faced To ignore
this Chinese aggression would
mean in effect that big aggression
can succeed with impugnity. The
world order for which the United
Nations has been striving would
be in dire;t peril. leaving every
member to stand alone against ag-
gression."
Countries bordering on China
and that includes most Asian U.
N. members-were pictured as
fearing that such a strong stand
would mean that Red hordes
would soon sweep into their home
lands.
In London, a Foreign Office
spokesman said today Britain
has received a communication
from the United States asking
1t to declare Red China an ag-
gressor if Chinese forces refuse
to observe Korean cease-fire I
order. 1t was understood that
the American communication
has gone to all U. N. members.
British Stress Long View"
A source close to the British
delegation admitted that the
United States position was the
moral one, but argued that the
U. N. must find a sane, workable
solution and then present it as
moral.
He pictured world politics as a
chess game and stressed that it is
often necessary to sacrifice pawns
in order to take the game. /.
1t is always necessary, he said,
to keep the long range view and
accept early defeats in order to
achieve final victory.
The United States, Britain.
France, India and other countries
are therefore meeting today to
try to find a position which all
can support.

use of air and sea power pro-
posed by the Ohio Republican.
Senator Lehman, Democrat, of
New York, described it as IAN
extremely dangerous PROPOSE
tion. ,.
Senator Taft coupled with his
attack on what he described as
the Presidents "usurpation of
a statement of an af-
program for combating
international communism.
He said the United States should
build up the Air Force and Navy
to about 100000 men each and
hold down on the development of
land forces. He said the air and
sea power should be used for the
primary purpose of defending this
country and for aiding other
countries fighting aggression, #
such aid is requested, in both the
Pacific and the Atlantic.
His program also called for an
immediate peace treaty with
Japan and help for that country
to rearm. He also suggested that
Chinese Nationalists be supplied
with arms and equipment to en-
able them to defend themselves
on Formosa and carry on guer-
rilla warfare against the Com
munists.
Constitutional Dispute.
He emphasized. also, that the
policy adopted by this country
must be approved by Congress
and the people after full and free
discussion"
The administrations 'policy of
secret executive agreements" he
has brought us to dam
ger and disaster
The speech set off deep
rooted constitutional dispute over
the Presidents powers to commit
troops to action without
the specific approval of Congress.
The dispute revolves around pro-
visions of the Constitution in this
Article I, section 8, sets forth
that 1.-The Congress shall have
power to declare war;" Ar
ticle II, section 2, says that the
shall have power by
and with the consent of the Sem
ate to make treaties 1t is also
set forth that the President is
the commander in chief of the
country's armed forces.
Down through the years Presi-
dents have presented Congress
with decisions already taken-as
Mr.. Truman's actions in sending
forces into Korea-so
that Congress has no alternative
but to accept them.
Legal Obligation Denied.
Senator Taft referred to such
matters in his speech. ut may
now be argued" he said. that
Congress by appropriating money
for additional Korean action has
the CPresident's) act, but
the war was on and we had no
choice but to back up wholeheart-
edly the boys who were fighting
in Korea"
AS for sending troops to Europe,
Senator Taft said:
"The Atlantic pact may have
committed us to send arms to
the other members of the pact,
but no one has ever maintained
that it committed us to send
many American troops to Europe.
There is no legal obligation (under
the pact) to send American troops
to Europe"
He said he would not object
to few divisions but he objected
to committing large forces to the
continent. He contended the
Western European nations have
sufficient manpower to defend
themselves and that, initially at
least, this country should en-
phasize air and sea power for
defense.

in Paris. He planned to fly to
Brussels for the second stop in
his tour Of the capitals of other
treaty powers-Holland, Denmark,
Norway, Britain. Portugal. Italy
and Luxembourg.
He also will visit West Germany,
but he made it plain at a news
conference uere Thursday that he
had no plaus now to see any one
except top American officials
there.
Gen. Eisenhower has refused
comment on the contribution of
German manpower to the inter-
national force against the threat
Of Communist invasion of West
ern Europe except to state that
you want no man in the military
command who is not there volun-
tarily, at least as far as his ma
ton is concerned"
He will end his three-week tour
by flying home via Iceland and
Canada. On returning, he plans
to finish up his work as president
of Columbia University and again
go through a round of talks with
officials here.
To Confer With Americans.
Most of tomorrow he will spend

sador David K. Bruce. Marshall
Plan Ambassador Milton KatZ,
Charles Spofford, United States
treaty organization deputy, and
William L. Bait. American indus
trialist who is to head the organ
ization's production board.
Gen. Eisenhower is expected to
tell the Europeans that while the
United States is prepared to do its
full share toward making Western
forces strong enough to repel
Communist aggression, their ma
tions also will have to do all with
in their power to supply men.
money and materials.
UNLESS each of us is ready to
pay heavier taxes in terms of Civ
ing up something to which we
have become used, unless nations
are ready to do that collectively
there is no success" he declared
here this week. adding that the
plan envisaged no belligerency on
the part Of the powers.
May Be Psychological Lift.
American officials feel that the
scope and speed of military prep
arations in Western Europe so far
generally are far from adequate.
Gen. Eisenhower is expected to
give the Europeans a psychological
lift that has been missing here
tofore.
His trip is silhouetted against
the glare of the terrific Senate
debate on foreign policy on send
ing American troops to Europe
and also against some House and
Senate insistence on no commit
ments by President Truman with
out congressional consent.
The matter of American contri-
buttons to the treaty nations de-
fenses, heretofore believed to have
been at least outlined by the
treaty Military Committee at
meetings here, has become a
tOuchy point.
Gen. Eisenhower, asked about
contributions to the combined
force, has pleaded ignorance" and
added that until this thing can
be fitted all into one planning pat
tern, I don't believe that those
things can be done, except in a
rough way of expressing inten-
ton"
After doing a selling job in
Europe-where he is highly re-
spected and regarded as a hero
Gen. Eisenhower will return here
and, if the Truman policies are in
sisted upon, it will be his job to do
what the administration thus far
has been unable to do-sell those
policies completely to Congress.

If that comes about. it will be

ship to these problems.
As Salty as Ever.
Contrary to a belief by many
the Chesapeake Bay is as salty
today as it ever was, according tc
DR.. Donald w. Pritchard, 28-year-
old director of the institute.
When questioned about the re-
ported decline in the bays oyster
production IN recent years, DR.
Pritchard said:
There's no chemical or phySi-
cal reason why you can not have
oysters. The only reason you
don't have them is because OF
mans misuse Of natural re-
sources"
The institute, in its older ship
the specially-built motor yacht
Maury, made a special study o1
oyster spawning conditions in the
lower reaches Of the James River
in Virginia, and has come up with
some new ideas.
In their studies Of controlling
growth factors, for instance, in
stitute scientists have found that
oysters spawn more readily but
do not grow as large in the James
River as in other places in the
bay. This is because of the COM
petition for food with other ma
rine life there.
Others Preyed Upon.
Conversely. there are other To-
cations where oysters grow large
but the baby larvae do not "set'
