The regimental commander of

of their men in the direct assault.
He said the Americans on either
side of Taejon were compare
lively safe, but the roundabout
way to the American lines will
take time. He was confident the
next 10 days will give a better
picture of American losses.
The colonel estimated the
Korean Reds lost 5000 killed,
adding:
"They had a total disregard for
life and so many men kept coming
at us that eventually we were
overwhelmed. But am sure they
are worse off in victory than we

Britain Asked 10 State
Stand if U. 5. Fights
To Protect Formosa
BY the Assoeiafed Press

LONDON, July 22.-Four mem
bers Of the House of Commons
called on Britain today to make
clear what position she would take
If Russia and America ever go to
war over the Chinese Nationalist
stronghold of Formosa.
The four-a Conservative, two
LaboriteS and a Liberal - made
their request in a letter to the
Times of London They described
Britain's present attitude as "ob-
scure," although they noted the
government has said it would not
aid American forces ordered to
neutralize the Chinese Nationalist
stronghold.
Outlining how a major war
could break out, the four said any
American action against a pos
sible attack by Red China on
Formosa might be regarded as ag-
gression by the Peiping govern
ment.
Reds Could Call on Russia.
Then, they said, the Chinese
Communists could call on Russia
for help under the terms of the
mutual aid treaty between the two
countries and World War III
might be under way.
The four MP'S were Conserva-
tive Norman Bower, Liberal Joseph
Grimond and Laborites r. H. S.
Crossman and Woodrow Wyatt.
They said that, while the situa-
ton in Korea was clearly one of
resisting aggression, the case of
Formosa sis on an altogether diff
ferent level"
No Decision on Korea.
Government spokesmen said to-
day that Britain has reached no
decision on the question of send
ing ground troops to Korea. They
made no comment on speculation
that a small force may be sent
from Hong Kong.
At the Foreign Office it was said,
Informally, that it might safely
be assumed" that no decisions as
to detail have been made since
Prime Minister Attlee announced
that Britain supports American
action in the Far East.
I'VE are, of course. in almost
constant consultation with the
Americans" Foreign Office
spokesman said.

absence from his homeland.
The Nazis took Leopold to Ger

about to fall to advancing Allied

Lament voted to ask the King to
