Britain May OK Crossing 38th In Force
London (U.P.)—American and British officials are conferring on whether Lt. Gen. Matthew Rideway's troops in Korea should cross the 38th parallel in force, a British government spokesman said today.
There were unofficial reports that the British were swinging toward agreement to a crossing for a certain distance to set up a "buffer zone" north of the parallel and then renewing the offer to the Chinese Communists to negotiate a truce.
Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee has made Britain's stand known in the house of commons. He said the British believe the parallel should not be crossed by United Nations troops without conferences of UN members, particularly those which have troops in Korea.
Can. Douglas MacArthur has made it clear he must have instructions from a higher authority or the Korean fighting will develop into a stalemate involving continuous maneuvering and consequent casualties without any decisive action.
MaeArthur says his troops would have to continue their war of maneuver because there are no natural defenses near the parallel to hold against the Chinese Communists.
Successive authoritative sources said British military men agree with MacArthur's assessment. They said Britain might agree to a major crossing as far north as the "wasp waist" of North Korea, about 80 miles north of the parallel, and hinged on a line running from the northern capital of Pyongyang on the west coast to Wonsan on the east.
The foreign office spokesman said such consultations are under way. It was believed they are being held at Washington and Lake Success.
Having achieved such an advance, the UN then might offer to withdraw its forces, leaving a buffer zone, and again call on the Chinese to negotiate a peaceful settlement, these sources said. This would put the UN in a position to negotiate from strength, they added.
Stuhl Recital Excellent
Bv Lou Fry
Vigorous and prolonged applause followed the recital played Monday night in Strong auditorium by Ray mond Stuhl, cellist, and Alberta Stuhl, pianist.
Mr. and Mrs. Stuhl began their program with Boccherini's "Adagio and Allegro." Mrs. Stuhl showed her talent as an accompanist by providing a good background for Mr. Stuhl's able performance.
The balance between the two instruments in Beethoven's "Sonata for Piano and Cello," was exceptionally good. The rhythmic effects of the second movement were played with excellent precision and timing.
The final selection, the Barber Sonata, proved beautiful and moving, the hushed audience a tribute to the skill and feeling displayed by the musicians. All three movements of this expressive work were played with great beauty of tone and technique.

The first appropriations bill of the new congress, carrying $2,921-600,000 for the treasury and post-office departments, reached the house floor for debate with almost as much money in it as Mr. Truman proposed.
War Increases Delinquency
Kansas cannot escape the effect of war mobilization on juvenile delinquency. Edward Jackson Baur, associate professor of sociology, said in a sociology radio program over KLWN on March 19.
"Much has been accomplished to understand the problem of juvenile delinquency," Professor Baur said "Future events will increase juvenile delinquency. It is imperative that we strengthen and improve our methods of treating delinquency. It requires the support of all the citizens in the community—not just those that specialize in juvenile delinquency.
Dr. Baur was the second speaker in a series presented by the department of sociology over KLWN. The program, "Sociology on the Air," is the first of its kind in the country
"Delinquents are made, not born. Many causes are at work in juvenile delinquency. It is rare that we can trace a delinquent to one cause.
There are ways to prevent delinquency," Professor Baur pointed out. We can make our community a better and happier place to live. We can make certain there is adequate education, satisfying recreation, and employment for every group."
Crime Probers Call O'Dwyer
New York—(U.P.)-Senate crime investigators recalled former Mayor William O'Dwyer and Frank "The Boss" Costello today to dig deeper into the underworld's control over politics.
Committee counsel Rudalph Halley also said he would summon state industrial commissioner Edward Corsi to repeat under oath his campaign charges that Mayor Vincent Impelliteri was supported by Thomas "Three Finger Brown" Luchese, a notorious hoodlum.
The possibility that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, an old racket buster himself, might be called to testify was dispelled last night by committee chairman Estes Kefauver (D.-Tenn.).
Gov. Dewey, too ill to go to New York, invited the committee to question him at his office in Albany, but Senator Kefauver said that would be impossible because "we have to finish our hearing here and then go to Washington."
Corsi, unsuccessful Republican opponent of Mayor Impelliteri, had implied that Luchese wanted to "muscle in" on Costello's political influence.
Bob Edmond, president, announced that committees for invitations and entertainment would be appointed. The K-Club is host annually to high school athletes who participate in the relays.

Vacation May Slow Up Senate Before Easter
Washington (U.P.)—A prospective Easter vacation threatened today to block early senate action on the troops-for-Europe resolution.
The outlook is that there may not be enough senators in the capital to transact business next week. The legislators are discussing a proposal for a one-week vacation.
In that case the senators would agree to a final vote on the troops-for-Europe resolution during the first week in April. But Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. (R. Mass.) is opposed to any vacation. He said that any delay on the issue is "tampering with the security of the United States."
Draft—Top military men were reported unhappy about the house's draft and universal military training bill. They are satisfied enough with the provision to lower the draft age to 18 and one-half and extend service from 21 to 26 months. But they don't like UMT provisions which give direction and control to a five member commission, three of whom would be civilians.
Other congressional developments:
RFC-Sen. Burnet R. Maybank (D, S.C.) said "there's been plenty of lying" in the RFC investigation. And "anybody who has been lying," he said, should be put in jail. Maybank said he was not singling out any specific individual.
Loans - House investigators started looking into a loan which they said would have let three men gain control of a proposed $8,800,000 defense plant with only $600 in cash. The plant would have been built mainly with federal funds by the Hazleton, Pa., Steel and Tubing company.
**Budget**—The first appropriation bill of the new congress reached the house floor for debate. It carried $2,921,600,000 for the treasury and postoffice departments, a cut of $36,525,000 from the amount President Truman asked.

Britain Fears Japan Treaty
Washington—(U.P.)—Great Britain has objected to some American proposals for a Japanese peace treaty, it was disclosed today.
The United States, however, forors letting Japan rearm and expand its economy as it pleases.
Britain outlined its views in a memorandum to the State department. A British source declined to discuss details, but said:
"We put down what we agree with about the American proposal and what we didn't agree with."
British government representatives have told the house of commons that Britain will not try to restrict British trade to prevent competition with American products. Great Britain, however, reported to feel that unlimited Japanese industrialization might raise security problems. This would apply to Japan's once-mammoth ship, building yards.
Under American proposals, Japan would be allowed to build all the ships it wants—military or commercial.
