Marshall Warns
Of Soviet Threat
In Korean War
. ,
WASHINGTON, May -8 VP) Secretary of Defense Marshall
gravely warned today that Russia may enter the Korean war with
out notice but he declared this threat would be far greater if the
nation follows the war plans propoied by Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
For the second day, the 70-
year-old secretary urged that this
country not take the added risk
of open conflict with Russia by
stepping up the. war against
China.
He • said the Soviets have
massed strong ground and air
forces in the Far East and their
entry into the Korean struggle
would "be a very serious thing."
"Like all other -matters per
taining to th e Soviet' govern
mo.nt," he said, "the decision is
of a few men and can be an
instant decision whenever they
choose to make it."
He conceded,. also, that U. S.
policy -of building up defenses - in
Europe may provoke a war with
Russia. But he insisted the risk
must be taken because this coun
try ha s "no choice whatever
there."
At the same time, Marshall
voiced concern that MacArthur's
remarks about thousands of cas
ualties in a bloody Korean "stale
mate" may seriously damage the
morale of the United Nations'
combat troops.

Russia Stalls
Jap Treaty
U.S. Accuses
WASHINGTON, May 8 (R)—
The United States accused Rus
sia today of trying to "stall"
preparations for an early Japan
ese peace treaty and brusquely
rejected a Soviet proposal to turn
the task over to a Pacific Big
Four.
Moscow advanced the proposal
yesterday, and included Commu
nist China along with Russia, the
U.S. and Britain as the four pow
ers which should lay down the
terms for a World War II settle
ment with Japan.
The State Department brushed
the idea aside with this comment:
"It is a mockery to pretend that
to negotiate, a Japanese peace
under these conditions would ac
tually, produce peace."
What, Moscow is seeking, the
d6partment charged, is a "double
veto" by including Communist
China among the Big Four. -
The State Department made
plain that the United States in
tends to go ahead with moves
now in progress with 14 other
non-communist countries to com
plete the Japanese settlement,
possibly this summer.

Strong Allied Drive
Gains 17-20 Miles
TOKYO, Wednesday, May 9—(W)—Strong allied units punched
northward Tuesday in a double-barreled advance that carried 17 to
20 miles above once-threatened Seoul on the western Korean front.
Nearly half the ground lost when the Communists launched
their ill-fated April 22 offensive has been regained along the 100-
mile wide battlefront. The Red drive bogged down after seven days
of human-sea attacks.
The Chinese still held ridge
positions five miles south of that
allied penetration, making the
point of actual enemy contact
about 15 miles north of Seoul.
There was little fighting north
east of Seoul. UN patrols engaged
an unknown number of Reds just
south of Kapyong, 33 miles north
east of Seoul on the important
highway to Chunchon.
On the far western front South
Korean Troops gained five miles
in, two days, shoving the Reds
north of the Kongnung river, a
tributary of the Han river. Other
UN units operating on Kimpo
peninsula fought a mortar duel
with an enemy force on the north
bank of the Han river.
On the central front more allied
tank-infantry patrols crunched
over dusty trails north of Chun
chon, a no-man's town abandoned
by the allies and deserted by the
Chinese.
It was the second straight day
UN patrols passed through that
devastated transportation hub,
eight miles south of parallel 38,
in search of Red concentrations to
the north.
