UN Must
Keep Up
Fight-- Lie
LAKE SUCCESS, April 6 (iP)—
Secretary-General Trygve Lie
said today the U.N. must. fight
with all the force it can safely
commit in Korea until the other
side signals it is willing to ne
gotiate for a cease-fire. He said
also he does not now expect a
third world war, though it will
take time to restore calm.
The top secretariat o f ficial
shied away at his news confer
ence from the storm over state
ments by Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur, U.N. commander in the
Far East. He said any questions
relating to MacArthur should be
addressed to the unified com
mand (actually the United States
government), to which Mac-
Arthur is responsible.
He refused to say whether U.N.
forces should cross the 38th par
allel, but insisted the U.N. aim
is a unified and independent
Korea.
"There has been no sign for
many weeks that the North Kor
eans or those supporting them
(Communist China and, some
delegates charge, the Soviet Un
ion) are willing to open negoti
ations for a cease-fire," Lie said
in a prepared statement. •

Rep. Cole of New York, a lead
ing Republican on the House
Armed Services committee, said:
"The foreseeable future offers
no reasonable • expectation that
times will remove the need fpr a
strong military establishment to
protect this country."
And Rep. Gavin (R-Pa.), an
other committee member, argued
with those who say the bill, if
passed, will be a step toward
militarizing the country.
"Nothing could be further from
the truth," Gavin said.
On the other hand, Rep. Shafer
(R-Mich.), who also is a member
of the committee, said there's only
one reason why the UMT ques
tion is before ,the House now.
Shafer said:
"Gen. George C. Marshall, sec
retary of Defense, has decided that
now is the strategically proper
D-day for establishing a firm
beachhead in the U.S. for his
brand—and the Pentagon's' brand
—of permanent universal military
training and national service."

The Red retreat was made on
a 17-mile sector north of Uijong
bu, but how far it had gone was
not disclosed.
The sudden disappearance of
the Chinese north of Uijongbu
surprised front line troops who
had spent the preceding two days
doggedly digging the Reds out of
defensive positions only four
miles north of the 38th parallel..
Observers agreed the with
drawal may have been ordered
for one of two reasons:
1. The• Chinese Communists
may be badly hurt and forced to
regroup or
2. The Reds might be baiting
a trap, set' to touch off a mighty
spring counter-drive.
A force of 280,000 Chinese still
was deployed north of the 38th
parallel in a sector loosely em
bracing the Hwachon-Kumhwa-
Chorwon triangle:
Hwachon, eight miles north of
the old political boundary, was
the immediate .objective of ad

Field dispatches said the ad

slowly but thoroughly. The Reds
were being destroyed or forced
to yield ground.
