By JOHN H. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (®—The Truman administration apparently plans to make no further policy moves to ve the Korea situation. The next step, officials. said here, will be up to 'President-elect Eisenhower. Officials said today it wii be up to; che incoming regime to make any fundamental changes such as prosecuting the war beyond its present limits or putting additional economic or military pressures on Communist China. The Truman administration is said to feel no new policy moves are advisable before Eisenhower's inauguration seven weeks away. Two reasons are advanced: 1. Any large undertaking could hardly be completed before Jan. 20, thus committing the new ad- ministration to deal with a pro- gram it may not approve. 2. The United Nations’ fight in Korea is an Allied fight, requiring Allied co-operation in any policy development. Before agreeing to a new project, it is said, the U. N. Allies would want to know how the ‘WHATEVER YOUR NEEDS IN THE LINE OF Children’s TOYS COME TO THE TROPICAL.

Korean issuer are regarded by authorities here as topping the list | of foreigr policy problems prepared for study by John Foster Dulles, chosen as Eisenhower’s secretary of state. Dulles conferred with Secretary of State Acheson, Assistant Secre- tary John Allison and Under Sec- retary David Bruce yesterday in the course of arranging a smooth transition of policy controls. Dulles also called on Secretar} of Defense Lovett. Possible policy developments lie in two fields. Ultimately, author- ities here believe, steps will be taken in one or both unless an armistice is arranged fairly soon. On the military side, some high American officers in the Far East reportedly have advised Washing- ton that the best hope of ending the war lies in launching a major offen- sive. Destruction of the Communist forces, rather than the gaining of territory, would be the primary objective. Military men who hold that view are expected to make firm recom- mendations to Eisenhower during | his Korean trip. Such an offensive would require several more divisions of Ameri-{ can troops, according to military | It would also mean} estimates. abandoning attempts to make peace along the present stalemated line. Moreover, other Allied gov- | ernments are authoritatively re- ported extremely reluctant to carry i the war deeper into North Korea and any American policy decision Change For Korea Now|Firms Admit j will have to take those views into | consideration. On the diplomatic side, after the Panmunjom truce talks bogged down, Truman administration pol- icy called for a resolution in the U. N. General Assembly demand- ing that the Communists agree to an armistice that included volun- tary prisoner repatriation. Wednesday, the General Assem- bly adopted an Indian resolution serving that purpose aithough not in all respects what the United States originally sought. Russia and Red China have already denounced this plan. It is expected, therefore, that the resolution will be re- jected when officially forwarded to Peiping. That will raise another big policy question: What steps should ‘the U.N. then take? The United States government has discussed with other countries fighting in Korea the possibility of imposing an eco- nomic boycott or naval blockade on Red China, Both proposals, highly controver- sial among the Allies, would com- mit the U. S. to long-range courses new administration. What seems most likely to hap- pen, officials said, is that two or three weeks will be consumed in transmitting the Indian resolution to Red China and in getting a re- ply. This, then, would do away with | any need for follow up action until after the U. N. General Assembly has returnec from a Christmas recess, which, may not+be until after the Eisenhower administra- ition is in office, SAVE “50 AT OVERSEAS RADIO AND APPLIANCE CO.

Opening of public hearings Wed- nesday by the New York State Crime Commission lifted the lid on alleged crime and racketeering in the city’s seven billion dollar a year shipping industry. It has been estimated the indus try’s annual losses run to 350 mil. lions because of such things as pilfering, smuggling, and pay kick- backs by longshoremen to their union bosses. i An opening day’s witness was white-haired Ruth M. Kennedy secretary-treasurer of the stevedor- ing firm of Daniels and Kennedy, Inc. Miss Kennedy testified that gratuities are “an established prac- tice in the business.” The witness said her firm, in five years, paid $7,500 to Joseph P. ; Ryan, president of the AFL Inter Bhai & DUAL-STRE national Longshoremen’s Associa- tion.
