GEN BRADLEY
Briefed Cabinet on Korea.
ACHESON
Malik at U. N. yesterday delivered demand that U. S. remove troops
from Formosa. Branded U. S. as aggressor in Formosa. Malik also has
revised all his statements about Korea and Formosa. U. S. welcomes
U. N. making a study of our action in Formosa. Warren Austin has been
instructed to take the initiative in this move and suggest that a com-
mission be appointed to make the investigation in Formosa.
THE PRESIDENT
Outlined the railroad strike situation to Cabinet. There is only
one approach to situation - that is seizure. A. G. has been instructed
to prepare order of seizure to be effective at 4:00 PM on next Sunday.
The announcement will be made at 4:00 PM today. Expect that employees
will go back to work under government operation on Monday next which is
the strike deadline. The President has been reluctant to seize due to
shortage in qualified men in Army to operate the railroads.
Informed Cabinet of a classic example of the merit in Point 4 pro-
gram - the program to eradicate hoof & mouth disease in Mexico - with
U. S. aid the threat to the cattle in Mexico and U. S. has been elimi-
nated.
BARKLEY
