Korea Split Undecided WASHINGTON, April 9 (IF) The White House said today the Eisenhower administration has reached 'no conclusion that a per manent division of Korea is either desirable or feasible. Further, Press Secretary James C. Hagerty told reporters, the ad ministration has never decided that such a division would be "consistent with the decisions of the United Nations." He also said there has been no consideration of a United Nations trusteeship for Formosa. The statement came at a time when mounting possibilities for a temporary truce in Korea had stirred widespread discussion of plans for negotiating a more final, long-term peace settlement for the yvar-wrecked land. It was noted that the White Houseo pronouncement did not rule out any future agreement on some sort of division of Korea. It merely stressed that no conclusions or decisions have been reached yet.
