Macarthur
Gives Men
Go-Ahead
BY Olen Clements

TOKYO Feb. 20 -(AP) -
General Macarthur visited the
roaring central Korean front to-
day, watched allied guns and war
planes pound the fading Reds
and then ordered his troops to
resume the initiative generally.
This did not mean necessarily
that allied forces would attempt
a new drive across the parallel 38
border into Red Korea.
When Macarthur spoke, the
Allies already had kicked off on
a renewal of the limited often
siVe" that started Jan. IS and
was stalled only last week by
massive led rush that failed.
Macarthur recalled that Presi-
dent Truman had said the Cen
eral should make the decision
whether to cross the border again.
But he told war correspondents at
the front:
I shall not arbitrarily execute
that authority
h The allied commander indicated
y II an when" allied troops reach
tthe border, he would give con-
sideration to any "cogent political
4 easons against the crossing. ;"
The British are leaders in the
) opposition TO crossing 3S again.
They We're reluctant to send their
forces across last fall at the high
tide of allied offensive efforts
against the Red Koreans be-
fore Red China turned the al
lies back.
Macarthur had one of his typic-
ally acid comments for Russia S
leader:
L note that Marshall Stain has
just predicted the annihilation of
our forces in Korea. But his
fchinese and Koreanl comrades
will have to do lot better than
they have yet done to prove him
a prophet"
Chlnese losses, Macarthur said,
have been among the bloodiest in
modern times. Allied forces have
cheWcd up some of the best
troops of Red China, ne added,
and they will be hard to replace.
Before Macarthur flew to the
Wonju airstrip Tuesday morning,
allied forces rolled behind tanks
in a northward thrust along the
central front. Field dispatches
still described the action as a
limited offensive, a renewal of the
Red-kilIing raids Ridgway has
used to cut deeply into Chinese
strength

To meet the divergent atti-
tudes of the newspapers it served,
the new Associated Press could
do ONLY one thing make its
reports wholly impartial, accar-
ate, unbiased. This il did.
However much their editorial
policies clashed, the publishers
found agreement on one thing
that their Associated Press should
send news as truthful, as accurate,
unbiased and decent as human
hands could write it.
AS the AP idea grew, readers
gained confidence in their news
papers. The newspapers them
selves expanded. Newsgathering
became efficient, systematized.
BY 1900 when the present As
sociated Press was incorporated
under New York laws as non
