The U.S. stop its opposition to the seating of the Communist Chinese regime in the UN. They believe these concessions would bring peace to Asia, at least temporarily. This view was implied in a 12-power resolution they put before the UN assembly two weeks ago, pledging Red China a political conference in return for peace in Korea. That proposal was accompanied by a 13-powcr (the thirteenth was the Philippines) resolution calling for negotiations on a cease-fire in Korea.

Consideration of the resolution for political talks was shelved to await prog- gregg on the cease-fire move.

According to reliable sources, the Chinese Reds In Peiping have approved the spending of eight billion dollars for war purposes in 1951. This Is probably the biggest military budget in Chinese history. It Is estimated that it is three times greater than the Chinese Communist military budget for 1950, and eight times more than the Chinese Nationalist government has ever spent In one year." A U. S. Eighth Army briefing officer said two Chinese armies of about 60,000 men were massing; 38 miles north and northwest of the apprehensive South Korean capital.

Little ground action was reported. Patrols from both sides probed lines for weak spots and strength.
