1. 1. 1. 1. 1 1 1 Afternoon, December 1950 Truman (Continued from Page 1) well pleased with the meeting.

He had come to Washington with two principal objectives (4) to get reassurance that Europe Temains the Prime defense area in American strategy despite the explosive situation in the Far East. and (B) to urge consultation before any U. S. decision to use the atom bomb. The communique emphasized the need for a Military buildup in Western Europe and for a peaceful settlement in the Far East, if that is possible without appeasement.

It deliberately avoided referring to Chinese "'aggression" in Korea and mentioned only "'intervention." It also reported that Mr. Truman agreed to keep Mr. Attlee informed of any circumstances which n.ight appear to make the use of the atomto bomb necessary. That was generally assessed as an implied promise of the opportunity for consultation. Both British and American officials said no secret agreements had been made during the talks.

Secretary of State Dean Acheson, one of the chief participants in the talks, arranged to go before a closed joint meeting of the Senate and House Foreign Relations Committees today (10:30 a.m. EST) to report on what was said and what was agreed to. State Department officials said Acheson suggested the meeting. He has been under renewed heavy attack this week by some Republican Congressmen who have challenged his fitness for the cabinet post and demanded his resignation. The joint American-British statement disclosed both agreements -and disagreements covering these main problems: Korea -The U.S.

And Britain are ready "to seek an end to hostilities by negotiation." If the Chinese Reds are not willing to join an arrangement to end their intervention and restore Korea's independence, the U.N, will have to decide what to do about the situsiton.

Hills Selzed The Marines seized Commanding hills; setting up vital flank positions to protect the retreating troops.

Allied artillery pounded Chinese troops in the hills troughout the night. The Americans fought off a Friday night attack on the northeast edge of Koto. For A time the Koto airstrip, still needed for evacuation of wounded, was closed by fire. But it was later. At daylight Saturday, C-478 began landing and taking off from the field.

Waves of Allied warplanesgrounded by weather Fridaypounded the Chinese positions along the escape route. From the South could be heard the booming of U. 8. Artillery blasting appraches to the breakout road. MacBeth said the chances were good for smashing through the Chinese wall.

But in isolated Koto he presumably was unaware of the new threat mounted by the four or more flanking Red Chinese Divisions. "The roads leading out of here (Koto) are narrow and MacBeth reported. "They wind down off the plateau into the valley but we will make it all right. The losses will be very costly but we will make it."
