THAT
the American Secretary of State, Mr Acheson, Is to interrupt his journey to Berlin next month to visit London, where he will have talks with the Foreign Secretary, Mr Eden, on the situation in Korea, indicates the growing concern with which this tangled problem is regarded both in Britain and the United Stater. Cabled reports from Britain in the past few days have emphasised the increasing worry over the future of the Interminable armistice talks at Panmunjom and the Intest moves of the South Korean President, Dr Rhee, in endeavouring to put down the mounting opposition to his dictatorial Fegime, British concern, however, goes beyond these. two problema. Press reports speak of ΠΟΥ Chinese armies being transferred to Korea, and of intensified Communist propaganda on bacteriological warfare; these are regarded in soma quarters as Indication of a renewed, and more power- ful, Chinese offensive in Korea. There is ample con- fidence in the ability of the United Nations forces to. resist any new

SEIZURE OF
STEEL INDUSTRY
REFUSED
Washington, June 10.
"The Senate today handed President Truman a stinging defeat by demanding that, he use the Taft-Hartley law to end the nationwide steel strike and rejecting his personal appeal for power to seize the industry.
On the heels of Mr Truman's request for im- mediate seizure authority, the Senate in rapid-fire order rejected three Democratic seizure proposals and then voted 49-30 to "request" the President to obtain a Taft-Hartley injunction against the 650,000 CIO United Steel workers now on strike, The Taft-Hartley plan was offered by Senator Harry Byrd (Democrat) as an amendment to the con- trols law. It was supported by Senator Robert Taft's
powerful Republican Policy Committee, which led the
fight against all attempts to grant seizure power.
