. „ MUNSAN, K ore a, Thursday,
Nov. 15—(R)—A -Moscow-trained
Chinese truce. negotiator Wed
nesday virtually dared the Uni
ted Nations to break off the Ko
rean armistice talks and try to
change the front lines by force
of arms—if they could.
The challenge came from Maj.
Gen. Hsieh Fang, Chinese Red
sub-committee chairman and
former military attache in Mos
cow. It prompted no immediate
reply.
However, the seriousness of the
badly snarled buffer zone issue
after a five-hour five-minute sub
committee session led the UN
Command to declare "no mutu
ally acceptable solution was in
sight."
The Red Peiping radio, in a
' truculent broadcast today, de
' clared that- if the talks break
down'we are prepared" to smash
t United Nations attacks. It urged
th e Chinese people to tighten
their .belts and strengthen their
campaign 'in Korea "until th e
enemy is willing to accept peace."
The broadcast singled out Vice
Adm. C. • Turner Joy, chief UN
negotiator for special attack,
accusing Win of trying to "wreck
finally the whole armistice nego
tiations."
The fundamental issue was this:
whether, to stop the fighting now
on. land • and sea and •in the air
or after agreement is reached on
the exchange of prisoners and
other agenda'items.

in ' 'Korea. He said the enemy

an unlimited amount of ammuni

Robertson said the war was be
ginning to resemble World War I
action -in - France with a steady
increase of artillery pounding

for "more troops, more amfnu

Warren
'Hat
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov. 14—(?P)—Governor Earl Warren of
California today became the second avowed candidate for the 1952
Republican Presidential nomination.
The 1948 GOP nominee for Vice President said he would permit
state party leaders, who last week urged him to run, to enter his
name in the California primary.
He will decide later about cam
paigning in other states.
Warren joined Sen. Robert A.
Taft (R-Ohio) as a declared Re
publican candidate.
Sen. Richard M. Nixon, (R-
Calif) described Warren in Bos
ton last night as the "strongest
dark horse. ' Some think his best
chance lies in the possibility of
a deadlock between Ta f t and
General Dwight D. Eisenhower,
who has not announced his presi
dential intentions.
The 60-year-old Warren, Cali
fornia's first three-term gover
nor, has made a career of public
service. He has fought his cam
paign battles as a progressive
Republican and has frankly gone
after Democratic and independ
ent votes in a state where Demo
cra t s outnumber Republicans
three to two.
In '1946 he took advantage of
the unique California cross filing
law to win reelection as Gover
nor by taking both major party
nominations. Last year he de
feated James Roosevelt for the
governorship by more than 1,-
000,000 votes.
His only political defeat was as
Gov. Thomas •E. Dewey's running
mate in 1948.
