Ike Cant Say
Much About
Korea Plans
BY JAMES MARROW

WASHINGTON R - If Gen. Eli
senhower has thought of some way
of trying to end the Korean War,
he can hardly say so openly at
this time, anyway.
Since he's not yet president, he's
not In position to give orders
although he can lay the ground
work for them. He may be doing
so during his conferences with
members of his Cabinet in the
Pacific.
And while the American public
would like to know if he's made
decision about Korea, the Com
munists would too. For instance,
if he decided on a surprise Of
fenSive and let the word leak out,
the Communists would hardly be
surprised by it.
1t has been said before that no
president-elect was ever in as
strange position as Eisenhower.
He has inherited a war and helped
get himself elected by promising
to visit its front if he won.
Because of his record as a mill
tary leader, it is natural that
many people will confidently be-
lieye he ought to be able TO end
it. Yet, any attempted solution
seems loaded with danger.
If early in his administration he
cuts loose with a plan-Such, for
instance, as an offensive to drive
the Communists north of The Yalu
River-and is successful his pres
tige will increase accordingly.
If he tries a plan which results
in higher casualties but doesn't end
the war, he will have suffered a
setback early in his administra-
ton.
He's in a tough spot for a man
taking over the presidency, be-
cause, in any decision about try
ing to end the fighting in Korea,
he has to consider more than driv-
ing the Communists back.
Americas allies in Korea have
to be considered-how they feel
about any plan he proposes. The
kind of plan that's used, if any,
is bound to affect the thinking of
the rest of the people of Asia to-
ward, or against, this country.
And he has to consider whether
the steps which might be taken
in Korea would lead to full-scale
war with Russia or whether Rus
sia would start an outbreak some
place else while we were concen-
trating strength in Korea.

missioner Jack Delaney is the
author of the bar licensing
measure. which is designed to
combat an undesirable element
who frequent the citv's bars.
Also slated to come up for first
reading at tonight's session,
which promises to be a lengthy
one, is an ordinance which would
prohibit the placing of advertis-
ing material in or on motor We
hicleS in the city. 1t would also,
according to the wording of the
ordinance, be illegal to solicit
customers for motels or any
other type of business in Key
West. The measure was drafted
after complaints that solicitors
for motel accommodations in GER
tain portions of the city were
creating a nuisance.
In other action, the commits
sioners will consider a resolu-
ton calling for the ending of a
reservation by the Internal I'M
provement Board 10 the city. of
a parcel of land along Roosevelt
Boulevard. The land, a 125 foot
strip running along the northerly
side of the Boulevard from the
municipal swimming pool to
Dredgers Key had been reserved
for the city by the lib following
a request dated June, 1851.
Reason given for the relin-
quishment of the land is the
fact that due to the sale of
several parcels of land in the
area. which have already been
filled in. no purpose will be
served in maintaining title TO
fhe land. The establishment Of
causewaYs TO the land already
filled would create serious
traffic hazard, the ordinance
says.
The same area. along with
land on the south side of the
Boulevard, will be rezoned
Business Al. if an ordin-
ance scheduled 10 come up to-
night is passed. The area on
the south side of the Boulevard,
from Palm Avenue 10 Fifth
Street will be included in the
rezoning ordinance.
Provisions for the licensing of
disqualification Associations will
also be considered at the meet
ing. The annual licensing fee for
such organizations has been set
at $25, the ordinance states.
