Administration Bars
Any Move 10 Widen
Scope Of Korea War
By John N. Hishtower
Assoeiufed Press Siaff Writer


The Truman administration has
decided against any move to carry
the Korean war to China even If
the truce talks collapse.
Officials said that is the present
basic policy, but how it is applied
Il and when a collapse occurs will
undoubtedly depend on what the
Communists do and what the
people think about it.
In the highest levels of the
Defense and State Departments it
is recognized. officials privately
that popular indignation
could force the United States in
some circumstances to take action
which would either contradict or
diverge from its present policy.
Outlined by Allison.
A clear indication of the ad-
ministration's attitude came last
night in speech sent by Assist
ant Secretary Of State John M.
Allison to the Philadelphia Bulle-
tin Forum at Philadelphia. It was
delivered by his assistant, U. Alexis
Johnson. who returned. 10 days ago
from talks with Gen. Matthew B.
and other top q. N.
military men in Korea.
1T is our policy" Mr.. Allison
said, "to confine the conflict to
Korea. We do not propose to
widen the scope OF the war. That
has been our policy from the start.
That remains our policy. It is UP
to the Communists. If they want
to widen the conflict and engulf
the world in q terrible world war.
then they must be the ones to
do it,"
: Truce talks at Panmunjom are
deadlocked now over several is
sues. State Department officials
and military leaders have been
considering for many weeks what
the United States should do In
event Of collapse of negotiations.
It Is known that consideration
has been given to carrying the
war directly against China. It is
now apparent that the decision
has been reached to avoid this if
possible.
Three Main Possibilities.
Policymakers have envisioned
three main circumstances of col
lapse Of the truce negotiations:
l. The talks might simply break
OIL with both sides holding to their
present military positions-that
IS, avoiding q major ground Of
fensive. In this circumstance the
administrations present policy is
that the United States should not
act to enlarge the war.
2. The talks might break. off
with a Communist offensive aimed
at driving the United Nations
forces out of their present en-
trenched positions. Gen. Ridgway
Is reported to be confident that
ais position is so strong that he
could smash such an offensive at
terrific cost to the enemy and
night thereby start the Reds talk
ng peace more earnestly. Even
N the face of a ground offensive,
;he administration would take the
inc that the war should be con-
1ned to Korea, under present pol
cy. IS.
8. The talks might collapse un-
der terrific drive by the Reds
all-out use of their air as
well as land power. In that event,
the United Nations may strike
back at the launching bases on
Chinese territory. north Of the
Yalu River.

Zionist
Problems

Something is wrong with Zion
list work among American Jewish
students. That the member
ship of the intercollegiate Zionist
Federation of America has been
shrinking is no secret. Now
the I. z. F. A. reports the closing
down of its. only training center
for students who wish to settle in
Israel. Furthermore, the I. z.
F. A. is considering closing it's
only Hebrew-speaking summer
camp. It was established by
the camp administration that the
campers had no interest in I. z.
F. A. and that they came just
for vacation. The director of
the camp is, therefore, urging
that LIZA. should not foot the
bill for these vacations, especially
since the camp suffered a finan-
cial loss. The liquidated train
ing center for student-chaluzim
was established in Averill Park,
New York, in 1913, at the height
of the Hachsharath movement in
the United States. It was con-
Quoted like a kibbutz where the
members lived together and

crops and cared for the livestock
The members were also to
settle together in Israel. The
liquidation of this training center
is ascribed to the emergency
draft measures. Students must
stay in school or face induction
into the U. S. armed forces.
They cannot, therefore, afford ia

Senate Move for Transit Body

Officials of District, Maryland
and Virginia regulatory bodies re-
served comment today on reso-
luton offered IN the United States
Senate. proposing a unified tram
sit authority for Washington's
Metropolitan Area.
But representatives of area civic
groups enthusiastically indorseo
the plan offered by Senator'S But
Ter. Republican. and O'Conor,
Democrat, of Maryland, and Sen
ator johnson, Democrat, of Colo
RADIO, yesterday.
The resolution would give con-
gressional consent to an inter-
state compact for regulation of
passenger traffic in the District,
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties in Maryland. Arlington
and Fairfax Counties and the city
OF Alexandria in Virginia.
| H. Lester Hooker, member of
the Virginia State Corporation
Commission. which regulates all
public utilities, said action Of the
Virginia General Assembly would
be necessary before the commits
sion could relinquish any Of its
power.
Not Certain of Outcome.
Even after Congress has acted,
I don't know whether the General
Assembly would be willing to give
up any of its powers" he said.
He said the commission was
aware that civic groups in Airing
ton. as well as the county Pub
lie Utilities Commission, has
urged creation of a District area
authority. But he refused to
comment further.
| Albert L. Deem, executive secre-
tary of the Maryland Public Serv-
ice Commission, expressed surprise
when told of the resolution.
This Office didn't know that
such a measure was contem-
plated" he declared. However,
any modification of the Public
Service Commission law would
have to be approved by the Gen.
Ieral Assembly"
Mr.. Deem said his Office was not
aware of any concerted action in
favor of such an authority in the
affected areas of the State.
Flanagan Declines to Comment.
James H. Flanagan, chairman
'of the District Public Utilities
Commission, declined to comment
on the Senate resolution.
Walter F. Mulligan, president of
the Prince Georges County Civic
Federation, said the Senate reso-
luton undoubtedly will win citizen
support. He said the impetus for
an area transit authority was be-

"a year ago.
"The Interfederation Council of

the idea, and member groups have
acted individually in support of
the plan," he said.

Others Cite Support.
Mrs. Ruth Cox, president of the

her group favored the plan and
viewed the Senate resolution as a

facilities in the area.
David o. Walter, secretary Of

Three Scientists Urqe
CONGRESS 10 Go Slow
On FIuoride Wafer

For hour after hour. three
earnest men of science paraded
to a glistening mahogany table
and, in their cold technical Ian
guage, tried to chill public enthu-
Isiasm for fluoridation of water.
The men were specialists, offer
ing to Congress the results OF
their experiments or studies -
weighed by their best judgment,
right or wrong.
Listening were members of the
special House Committee on
Chemicals in Food, under Chair
man Delaney Of New York. They
were trying to decide whether
American cities such as Washing
ton should add sodium fluoride to
drinking water as a way to reduce
decay in children's teeth.
The scientists urged caution.
They felt that fluoride in drinking
water does reduce tooth decay
among children, but they insisted
that nobody yet knows how fluor-
Iide might affect other parts of
the body. They offered this iudg-
Iment in the face of insistence of
the United States Public Health
Service that fluoridation is safe
and should be adopted.
Investigations Not Completed.
Testifying before the committee
yesterday were three men with no
ak to grind: DR.. ]. r. Blayney
director of the Evanston M3
Dental Carries Studies: DR.. v. o.
Hurme, director of clinical re-
search at the Forsyth Dental In
firmary for Children in Boston,
and DR.. E. B. Hart, professor OF
biochemistry at the University OF
Wisconsin.
DR.. Blayney did not flatly op-
pose fluoridation. but he warned
that any city starting the program
the District plans to begin this
Ispring - should understand that
the investigative work on the
problem has not yet been COM
Ipleted.'
DR.. Hart thought fluoridation
should not be adopted generally
lin the United States for another
1--we years-untitl the completion
lof experiments in Newburgh anc
Kingston. N. Y. The experiment
with fluoridation in those two
cities has been going on for favt
