Washington, January 4.
The Secretory of State, Mr. Dean Acheson, tonight assumed full command of the Administration efforts to counter the blistering Congressional criticism of the United States policy in Chino. He will meet next Tuesday with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Mr. Acheson is describ- ed as ready to take decisive action as a result of criticism from some of the most influentiol spokesmen of the Republican Party.
It was said that he believes that many of the promptings for United States intervention, in- cluding fleet action if necessary to Savo Taiwan from Communist control, are attribut- ed to lack of roalisation that such a stop might involve an actual shooting war.
