' By Ialf Erickson

TOKYO. Jan. 7 -(AP) - In demanding I "finm declaration" of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's plans for Unit? Nations forces in Korea. critical ondon newspapers are seeking an" answer that evidently has not yet been decided.

The speed and power of lhe cur- rent Chinese Communist offensive is likely to provide the final ans- wer.

Many qualified observers here agree that eventual Al- lied withdrawal from Korea is inevitable. Neither MacArthur. the U. N. commander. nor the joint chiefs of staff in wash- ingion have given any public indication of this The evidence, . however. appears

plain that it boils down to a. de- cision on how long a. stand around the southeast port of Pusan will be worthwhile.

Most observers here agree that the gneral strategic objective must be to pruerve as intact as pos- sible the greatly-outnumbered Eighth Army while destroying as much Chinese strength as pos- sible.

MaeArthur's intelligence now es- timates 1.350.000 Chinese Com- munists and 167.000 Korean Com- munists are mobilized in Korea.

This massive Communist force of 1.500.000-with untold reserves available across the nearby Man- churian border-outnumbers the U. N. force of about 250.000 by six to one.

British Papers Complain

In London. the Sunday Pictorial and the News of the World have comvhtlaed that the British public is be-wilder by the turn of events in Kor . I -The Daily Mirror editorially has said the British public is being deluded by "inacurrate and some- times fantastic information" from 'MaoArthur's commend.

In bold type on its first page. the Sunday Pictorial said today:

"The commonwealth Prime Min- isiers now assembled in London represent one of the most WW?- ful and important bodies of nat- ions in the world today.

"They should demand from Washington. or from United Nat- ions headquarters. a firm declar- ation of what MaoArthur's plan is. and whether it is being prosecuted successfully.

"Having obtained it. they should issue a definite statement. not. of course. revealing the military sec- rets of the situation. If the news is reassuring it will put now' heart into the fighting forces. and to those of us who wait. If the news is bad. we can take it."

It said: "In Britain there it no official source from which authen- tic news of the war in Korea can be obtained. Even the War Office appears to be in the dark."

Shows Contradiction

The record of MscArthur's com- munlques on his short lived "win- the-war" offensive Nov. 24 and the massive Chinese intervention which turned that offensive into retreat showed contradiction and vigorous selfdustifloation. .

correspondents at Eighth Army headquarters and Fifth Air llbrce headquarters in Korea observe. however. that doy-to-day infor- mation on battle action has been

Britain And France Send Notes TLMoscow

LONDON. Jan. 8 - (Monday) - (AP) - Britain and France reject- ed today a Russian protest against the rearmlng of Western Germany.

The whole question arose.'Brit- ain-charged. "solely because soviet policy and actio have compelled the other nations to examine all means of improving their security against the threat of Communist aggression."

British and French notes were in reply to a Soviet protest of Dec. 15. charging that Britain and France were creating a "serious

threat to peace" and viola fl Brit- ish-Russlan and French- sian treaties of alliance by their policies on German rearmament. -

The French note followed th same line of reasoning as the Brit- ish. but was not identical. The French accused Russia of f rclng the rearmament of western Eur- ope. including Germany, because "there exists a profound disequili- brium betwem the armed forces of the countries of the east and those cf the west in Europe."

Both notes accused the Soviet Union of keeping large troop forces under arms when the Westem Al- lies demobilizcd after the war and said this was part of the reason for considering the re.-armament of Ger- many.

The British -reply said the Gov- ernment "clearly and unequivoc- ally” rejects Russia's oontenticn that Britain's attitude on the remit- itarization of Germany constituted a threat to peace.

Britain said the resuming of Ger- many was contemplated solely as a defensive measure and that the re- sponsibility for this "rests upon the Soviet Government."

The notes were delivered to Sov- iet suthorities Pridaywand made public today. Britain said-the Sov- iet Unlon was entirely inacou:-ate in its contention that the defensive measures taken by the North At- lantic countries would lead to a re- vlval of German militarism,

LOS ANGIILEB. Jan. 7 -- (AP)eA tremendous pressure bias: that rocked the Los Angeles area Saturday was caused by a jet plane pulling out of a supersonic dive. milit- ary intelligence officials ex- pisined.

No serious damage was re- ported anywhere. but a few windows were broken in Cul- ver Clty. The shock was fe all the way from Santa ' to the San Fernando valley. 20 miles inland.

."Two or three high-powered jet planes were being tested." a military intelligence spokes- man said. "They were at al- titudes of nearly 40.000 feel."

one of the new ships went into a 600 to 900-mile-am hour power dive. he added. and roared through the sonic barrier.

Communist Tide Rolls Ominously A h e o d Elsewhere In Korea.

By Robert Eunson

TOKYO. Jan. 8 -- (Monday) -, (AP) -Tenacious United Nations troops today clung to wonju in Central south Korea where Com-, mimists have stabbed 80 miiesl south of the 38th parallel. ,

U. S. Eighth Army headquarters said latest advices from the Kor-l can were only active battle zone were that Allied forces still held. the road and rail centre 55 miles southeast of fallen Seoul. This wasl at 11:50 A. M. (9:50 P. M. EST Sun- day.)

AP correspondent Don Huth ati Eighth Army headquarters said the; situation in the Wonju area had not changed since Sunday night. Chinese and Korean Reds thrust into the town's outskirts Sunday morning but were driven back by the.:U. N. defenders about noon.

The fighting flawed around won- ju, however, and ils fall appeared only a matter of time.

The weather limited Allied air support here and elsewhere in Kor- ea. Far East Air Force planes flew less than 350 sorties Sunday. claim- ing 300 Red troop casualties. Brok- en clouds and overcast prevailed this morning.

Vanguards of seven Chinese arm- les-210,030 men, or more-surged through the spiny Korean interior valleys and roads leading south in a powerful effort to cut off the re- tiring Eighth Al-my from its event- ual goal in Southeast Korea.

While the Allies scored their first successful delaying action in a week at Wonju, the Red tide rolled ominously southward else- where.
