dated December 12, 1952: Truman keen to end Korean war

President Truman indicated on December 10 that if General MacArthur had any honourable, reasonable plan to end the conflict in Korea, he should present it to him at once. "If we can cut this frightfulness in Korea short by even one day, we should do it," the President said in a statement.

In a related development, but leaving out President Truman, an announcement from the cruiser "Helena", on which the President-elect was on his way to Pearl Harbour, said that Gen. MacArthur would meet Gen. Eisenhower in New York soon after the latter returned to the U.S.
