Korean Position 'Durable'
A UNITED STATES SPOKESMAN said the American position
of peace in Korea is "durable" and does not conflict with the views
of President-elect Eisenhower. These "durable" points of Ameri
can policy, he said, are the necessity and desire for an "honorable"
truce in Korea and unwavering insistence that the Communists at
Panmunjom accept the principle
oners.
"We know of nothing General
campaign speeches," he said, "that
position on Korea."
Toft Sees End Of War
SEN. ROBERT A. TAFT expressed the "profound hope" that the
Korean War "will now be settled soon" by President-elect Eisen
hower and the incoming Republican administration.
"I feel certain that under
chances of bringing that war to
than they were previously," he said. "I talked with Gen. Eisen
hower briefly after the election, and I expect to confer with rim
st greater length on matters of
for Korea."
Ike To Confer With Truman
PRESIDENT TRUMAN asked President-elect Eisenhower to
confer with him at the White House Nov. 17. Col. Albert L, Cox
carried a handwritten message to Eisenhower. James C. Hagerty,
Eisenhower's press secretary, said the President's communication
was hand-delivered and labeled "top secret" because it contained
"one or two" foreign policy matters not mentioned in Truman's tele
gram. In his first cabinet meeting since the election, the President
instructed all cabinet members to be prepared to "brief" the Gen
eral or his representatives on every vital aspect of U.S. foreign and
