U. n. Unit 10 Draw Up
Estimate on Size Of
World Police Force
BY the Assoeiosed Press

LAKE SUCCESS, June 26.-Thei
United Nations Military Staff Com
mittee prepared today to tackle the
most difficult problem in its year OF
deliberations-to produce by Mon
day an estimate of the initial size
of the global police force needed to
preserve world peace.
The Big Five generals and ad-
mirals were handed this task last
night by the Security Council,
which asked that it give at least a
tentative figure by pm. Monday,
If possible.
In view of Russia's reluctance in
the past to produce specific figures
on any phase of the committees
planning, it appeared extremely,
doubtful that the military group
would arrive at unanimous agree
ment. Tt was expected, however,
that the council would get at least
some estimates from the individual
members of the committee.
Suggested by Cadogan.
The original suggestion for an
immediate estimate came from Sir
Alexander Cadogsn, British dele
gate, and was supported by the
United States and France. In view
of this, 1t was assumed that their
military delegations were ready to
submit their own estimates.
Both Australian Delegate Col. W..
r. Hodgson and Soviet Delegate
Andrei A. Gromyko contended yes
terday that such task appeared to
be impossible, but neither regis
tered opposition when Alexandra
Parodi of France, Council president,
proposed that the request be sub
mitted anyway.
Some delegates expressed belief
privately that the Soviet delegation
might not take part in the Military
Committees discussions. Both Col
Hodgson and Mr.. Gromyko said an
important political question was in
volved.
To Debate Balkan Report.
The Security Council will begin
debate Friday morning on its
Balkan investigating commissions
report, which held that Yugoslavia,
Albania and Bulgaria had aided
guerrilla fighters in Northern
Greece. The commission itself
adopted a directive yesterday over
the opposition of Russia, instructing
It's subcommission in Greece to COM
plete its inquiry of incidents along
the Bulgarian border.
The subcommission informed the
full commission June 16 that Bull
garian border officials had refused
to permit it to enter Bulgarian ter
ritory. The directive asked the sub
commission to inform the Bulgarian
government that it had been in
structed to pursue the investigation
and to request cooperation by the
Bulgarians.
