IA.y.y ,, Price Is Too High Communist China's ambiguous proposal for a truce in Korea fanned the hopes for peace among the American people and created a dangerous division among the free nations. The Chinese proposal said, In part, if the withdrawal of foreign troops from Korea was being put Into effect, Peiping would advise the Chinese volunteers to return to China. The statement did not guarantee that Chinese troops would be withdrawn, nor did it say anything about North Korean forces. The statement was too ambiguous in the opinion of most American observers. Withdrawal of the U.S. fleet from Formosa and a seat in the United Nations for Communist China also appeared In vague terms in the proposal for a truce. The kindest thing that could be said about the Chinese statement was that perhaps there was a desire for peace in China. But from the American view that price was too high. From the more practical viewpoint, however, the note put the United States in a bad situation politically. If it agrees to consider Peiping's renewed overtures for a negotiated peace, it is bound to incur wide criticism at home. If it shuns these overtures, the accusations of the Soviet Union may fall on more fertile ground. The Chinese move was seen by some observers as an attempt to block the American proposal in the U.N. of branding China the aggressor in Korea. If that was its purpose, it succeeded, at least temporarily. Other observers questioned the status of the statement. It was not addressed to the United Nations. It was little more than a postal card to India in reply to questions of O One of the their child is great tragedies for parents is to learn that deaf. Sometimes it is a shock from which parents never really recover. Mrs. Louise Treadwell Tracy, wife of the motion picture star, Spencer Tracy, received such a shock. When their son was one year old they learned he was totally deaf. He is a grown man now and leads a normal life because of the determination of his mother. It was through her efforts that the John Tracy Clinic was founded to aid parents of deaf and children. Above a child receives a test to determine g deafness.

The United States had been working for this in behind the scene maneuvers at the United Nations for time. For a while there were reports that the majority of western nations was in favor of the action. Shortly after the house resolution was passed, however, opposition to the move appeared, especially among the nations in the middle east. Some nations adopted the attitude that branding China the aggressor would completely cut off any chances for a negotiated peace and agitate the international crisis. The house action can be said to reflect the growing determination of the American people against the wave of appeasement that was evident in many quarters of the not so many weeks ago. s Draft Director ' 9 squares of pan bread.
