UN

Washington, September 27 General Douglas MacArthur has been authorised to send United Nations troops into North Korea if necessary as a military measure to destroy the power of the fleeing North Korean Army. This was reported today by responsible informants who said however, that the longer range political question of establishing order in North Korea and occupying that oreo must be decided by the United Nations. Thus the issue of "crossing the 38 Parallel", as it is usually described, has
