tee. Mr.. Acheson asked the CO.
nation assembly to approve the
conduct of the United Nations
war effort. He introduced a res
authenticated by 20 nations
urging the Communists to accept
an armistice on U. N. terms.
Mr.. Acheson's nearly three-hour
speech was a calm detailed review
of the Korean War, all that led
up to it. and the draWn-out at
tempts to end it. One United
States spokesman described it as
a kind of verbal White Book"

The Secretary declared the
United States would do every
thing in it's power to achieve an
honest armistice" if the Commu-
nistS wanted one.
But if this is not the case," he
warned, land if the resistance
must go on, then we shall have tc
examine our position and our abil-
lty to carry that resistance for
ward"
Some delegations interpreted
this as an indication that if the
Communists turn down the armis-
tice appeal, the United States may
ask U. N. members for further
military support and possibly re.
prisals against Red China.
Most delegates except Soviet

Plea 10 Restore
Cut in Coal Pay
Won't Act in Hurry
On Upsettine WSB,
StubiIizer Asserts
BY the Assecioted Press

Economic Stabilizer Roger Put
nam said today he had not de-
cided whether to upset the Wage
Sterilization Board (WSB) and
grant John L. Lewis 375,000 strik-
ing soft coal miners q $1.90 daily
wage increase.
Mr.. Putnam told a reporter he
was determined mot to act in a
hurry on a petition from Mr..
Lewis and a major portion of
the industry to restore the 40
cents which the WSB cut from
the $l.90 increase decided by Mr..
Lewis and the industry. The
board said raise over S1.50
would damage the stabilization
program.
There are several courses
could take" Mr.. Putnam said in
AN interview just before leaving
for week end at his Massachu-
setts home. Il intend to examine
all OF them carefully before MAX
ing decision"
Four Possibilities.
These possibilities included:
Asking the WSB itself to recon-
slider its ruling last Saturday
which cut the wage hike by 81
per cent; sending the petition to
the White House for action; re-
turning it to the industry and
Mr.. Lewis with a request for re-
vision, OF acting on it himself in
its present form.
Mr.. Putnam would not discuss
details of the appeal he received
last night. It was signed by MIR.
Lewis as head of the United Mine
Workers and Harry M. Moses,
president of the Bituminous Coal
Operators Association.
Mr.. Putnam emphasized what
he called his responsibility for the
whole stabilization front and i'm

who voted the cut. Economic ex-
perts in the stabilization. agency
also participated.
The WSB last Saturday reduced
the wage increase negotiated by
Mr.. Lewis and the industry by 40
cents on grounds that any more
than $l.50 day would be infla-
ttionary.
Mr.. Putnam. who has super.
vision over the WSB. called the
wage boost cutback ruling very
courageous" and indicated his
agreement with it then.
Mr.. Lewis $4,000 soft coal
miners Immediately went on strike
and Mr.. Lewis has said they will
return to work when they get the
full $1.90.
Despite Mr.. Putnam's apparent
Endorsement of the WSB action.
some observers felt that some
other Government officials were
doing their best to persuade Mr..
Putnam that the full wage boost
should be approved in the inter.
est of production.
Arnall Overruled.
In last summers long steel
dispute, Ellis Arnall, then price
stablllzer, was overruled by the
white House on the question Of
steel prices and a $3.50 per ton
increase in the price of steel was
granted.
Should Mr.. Putnam reject the
Moses-Lewis petition, President
Truman could be asked to over
rule both Mr.. Putnam and the
WSB.
Any reversal of the wage board
decision to accommodate Mr.. Lewis
would be bound to anger some
board members and might lead to

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Gen.
Eisenhower's decision to go to

point foreign policy program.
1t set at rest any fears that
his earlier plan for training more
South Koreans might be the pre-
lUde to a withdrawal from Ko-
rea, and it wiped away any sus-
picion that Gen. Eisenhower was
yielding to isolationism.
FOur-POint Program.
The general said that:
/. An Eisenhower administra-
tlon would concentrate on ending
the Korean War-until that job
is honorably done"
2. He would go in person to
Korea as the only way to learn
how best to advance the cause of
peace.
3. His administration would
step up the training of South
Koreans, but recognizing that the
United Nations forces cannot
abandon that unhappy land"
And strive at the same time to
shape our psychological warfare
program into a weapon capable
of cracking the Communist front" "
4. He held the belief that to
vaccilate or appease would invite
Ia bloodier war. Gen. Eisenhower
said. Il will always reject appease-
ment."

Gen. Eisenhower drew frequent
applause from the 1000 in the
hall last night when he made his
dramatic announcement:

The general stood before the
television cameras in the role of
a seasoned soldier, assuring the
people that if they chose him to
be their leader he will bring to
the troubled world situation the
experience he gained in World
War II and later in NATO.
Before presenting his positive
program, Gen. Eisenhower care
fully documented the mistakes by
which he said the Truman ad-
ministration got America into the
Korean war as:
The ignoring of the 1947 report
of Gen. Albert Wedemeyer. in
which he warned that withdrawal
of American troops from Korea
would lead to the occupation of
South Korea by troops trained
under Soviet auspices.
