HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON ® — Official si- lence on the Korean truce crisis today underscored deep govern- ment concern over what Syngman Rhee may do next to block an end |to the Korean War. President Eisenhower canceled his weekly news conference, which ordinarily would have been held today. It was understood that he | did so because of the delicate truce | situation. | Other officials have declined to give out any substantial informa- tion on Korean problems or pros- pects. | That a showdown with Rhee is | at hand is clear in the dispatch of | Assistant Secretary of State Walter Robertson to see him. Robertson | carried a secret message from Sec- retary of State les. All evidence indicates that U. S. policy makers are pinning their |hopes on persuading Rhee to let |a truce become effective regard- lless of his opposition to it. They have no hope that he will accept the truce but believe he might agree to refrain from any action which would threaten to wreck it. There is no evidence here of a disposition to meet Rhee’s latest price for a settlement. He said yesterday he wanted a defense pact with the U. S., withdrawal uf Uni- ted Nations and Chinese troops from Korea, and a three-month limitation on postarmistice nego- tiations with a resumption of war if a permanent peace had not been agreed upon. U. S. officials regarded this as a move which would commit the U. N. to fight for Korean unity again if it had not been achieved by political negotiations in 90 days. said he will take, if a truce he doesn't like is signed, is withdraw- al of his forces from the U. N. Command. Such a step probably RUGS CLEANED All Formal Garments chemically processed. All work guaranteed and fully insured.

N. and the Com- munists agree to an end of the fighting. If the troops remain under com- mand of Gen. Mark Clark, the U. N. commander, and Clark signs a truce agreement, olficials here think that despite Rhee’s opposi- | tion the South Korean divisions in the battle line zan be counted on |to obey Clark’s orders to stop | shooting and pull back from the | truce line. If Rhee does carry out his threat to break with the U. N. Command jand strike out’ on his own there appear to be three main lines of action open to the U. N. Command, which is under the policy direction }of the U. S. government: Hl | 1. To back up Rhee and go on fighting what is considered here to be a needless war. In the U. official view, the war in Korea | ,; has already served its purpose of | {blocking Red conquest of South | | Korea. The U. S. has repeatedly | declared that the unification of ; | North and South Korea should now | properly be sought by political, not military, means. | 2. To withdraw V. S$. and all other U.
