Church Council Backs
u. n. Action in Korea,
But Asks A-Bomb Ban
By the Associated Press

TORONTO, July 14.-Leaders
Of the worlds largest body of
Protestant and Orthodox Church
members last night approved
United Nations military action in
Korea but condemned any use Of
atomic or meteorological weapons.
Representing 100 million church
adherentS in A countries, the
policy making Central Committee
of the World Council of Churches
adopted a resolution urging also
that a "just settlement" in Korea
be sought through negotiation and
conciliation.
With only two dissenting votes,
the 90-member committee agreed:
Armed attack as an Instrument
of national policy is wrong. Wei
therefore commend the Unitedl
Nations, an instrument of world
order, for its prompt decision toll
meet this aggression and fori
authorizing a police measure which,
every member nation should |
support.
"At the same time, governments
must press individually and
through the United Nations for
a just settlement by negotiation
and conciliation.
AS a general principle applicable
to the Korean situation, the COM
mittee unanimously indorsed this
statement:
Such methods of modern war
fare as the use of atomic and bac-
THEOLOGICAL weapons and obliter-
alton bombing involve employ
ment of force and a destruction
of life on SO terrible a scale as to
imperil the very basis on which
law and civilization can exist.
"It is imperative that they be
banned by international agree
ment, and we welcome every sin
cere proposal to this end"
The statement was presented by
Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati, who
is chairman of a subcommittee
which phrased it and a repre-
sentative Of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church.

u. ). Accuses Russia
OF Violating Pledge
On German Captiyes

The United States today charged
Russia with breaking specific COM
mitments about returning German
prisoners Of war to their homes
and proposed investigation inside
Russia by an impartial interna-
tional commission to determine
the fate Of German prisoners.
The State Department made
public the text of a note to Mos
COW proposing the investigation.
It said Great Britain and France
had sent similar notes to Moscow.
The American note expressed
"shock and concern" at q Soviet
announcement of May S stating
that all German prisoners in So
Wet hands had been repatriated
except 1886 still held for various
reasons.
These figures are completely at
variance" with this Governments
information showing that large
numbers Of German prisoners of
war known to have been in Soviet
custody have not yet been re-
turned to their homes" the note
asserted.
Officials estimate that some
where around 100000 German
prisoners have not been accounted
for by the Russians.
The United States, Russia,
Britain and France agreed in
1947 to repatriate all German
prisoners in their custody before
the end Of 1948. The note today
asserted that "the Soviet govern
ment has made and broken
specific commitments" on the re-
patriation question.
1t proposed that Russia admit
investigators to determine the
actual fate" of German prisoners
known to have been in Soviet
custody.
1t also called on Russia to pro-
vide specific information about
prisoners who have died in cap
tivity and about the 1886 the
Soviet admits still are in custody
The Russian announcement 10
May said 9,7l7 Of these had been
convicted Of war crimes, 3,8l5
were being investigated on war
crime charges, and IA were i'll.

Reaction
CONTINUED From First Page.)


Communist criticism of Ameri-
cas- Korean effort came from
Rome'S moderate, pro-goyern-
ment II Momento.
"The fact alone that America
has to half mobilize to oppose
a semibarbarian state, a country
that is the last Qeast powerfuD
of the Soviet satellites, will mean
for America loss of prestige which
a late and painfully secured VIC
tory will not be able to regain, +"
it wrote.
During the last five years. Il
Momento went on, while Presi-
dent Truman and his various
Secretaries of State were deaf
ening the world with speeches
and statements overflowing with
boastfulness," Russia was build
ing tanks.
French Press Mostly Silent.
The non-C n-Communist press in
France. while sympathizing with
the Americans, has made little
comment. The Conservative lie
Monde saw in the battle the ques-
ton of the prestige of two flags
the American and that Of the
United Nations. \. s ~.
The London Daily Express
warned that the news from Korea
might continue bad for another
80 days but predicted eventual
victory.
Korea is no Dunkerque." it de-
clared. "It is a pitched battle be-
tween handful Of ill-equipped
American troops, some Of them
battle-green, and a well-trained,
numerically superior aggressor. ="
West German, editorials empha-
sized that the Americans we're
outnumbered and outgunned.
Dutch Confident of u. S. Success.
Both press and public in the
Netherlands took a wait-and-see
attitude, but confidence was ex-
pressed in the eventual success of
American arms.
In traditionally neutral Sweden,
the Liberal daily Aftonbladet said:
"The five letters Korea may
one day symbolic the choice of
all free peoples:
ITO surrender everything that
makes life worth living and sub
init to the basest, most cruel tyr
amy in world history-or to follow
the example now set in the distant
land of the morning calm by those
ill-trained. ill-equipped American
boys"

that the Security Council actions
on Korea are illegal because Rus
sia and Communist China were
not present at the meeting. The
U. N. has ignored this claim.
There has been no indications
as to what, If any, progress has
been made in the British Russian
talks on Korea.
British Ambassador Sir David
Kelly had two talks with Soviet
Deputy Foreign Minister Gromyko
this month on the subject. The
conferences at the Soviet foreign
ministry are believed to have
taken place on British initiative.

Hospitals Understaffed.
A number of station hospitals
in this section Of the country,
moreover. already are "drastically
underStaffed." Among them, it
was reported, are those at Fort
Meade, and Aberdeen in Mary
land and. Camp Lee and Fort
Eustis in Virginia.
To spur voluntary acceptance
OF duty, some reserve officer
doctors have been contacted.
At the same time, officials said
the medical services Of the armed
forces have been revised to meet
the primary aim of adequate
medical support for troops al
ready in action. A high defense
official said more than 400 doctors
were made available by closing
some hospitals early this year.
On the national level, military
leaders hope many of the volun-
teer doctors will come from the
hundreds of young doctors and
dentists who got part Of their
training at Government expense
during and since World War II,
without having served on active
duty.
1t is this group which the
American Medical Association
this week said owes a moral
obligation" to serve, in urging doc
tors to volunteer.
Meanwhile, the three large
Army general hospitals retained
on standby basis are Percy Jones.
Battle Greek, Mich; Valley Forge.
Phoenixville, Pa. and Murphy,
Waltham, Mass. The installations
were to be turned over to the
three States in which they are
located.
In the District, meanwhile, the
first of 400 prospective draftees
will get their preinduction ply
sical examinations at a Fort
Myer south post station be-
ginning July "a. From these,
101 men, mostly "a and rs years
old, will be selected for induction.
The District men will be ex-
amined thereafter on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays. at the
rate Of about 65 to 10 a day,
officials said.

aimed at removing as many bar
riers as possible to acceptance of
doctors for active duty.
AS outlined, the Army officials
envision projects in which perhaps
three older doctors would agree to
accept the patients of one young
doctor who volunteered for serv-
ice. Attempts would be made to
keep separate records of patients
of the young doctor, so that his
practice would remain intact until
his return to civilian life.
The younger doctors, par
ticularly general practitioners, are
needed to serve 'for the duration
of the Korean crisis" officials
said.

NEW YORK, July IA (NANA) -
The strategic little Asiatic noun
tain theocracy of Tibet has de-
cided to offer no resistance at all
to- threatening Communist inva-
sion from China. it is reported
from nearby Gangtok, because OF
the refusal of the government OF
Jawaharlal Nehru to permit war
materials to cross India to the be-
leaguered Tibetans.
1T has been pointed out by
various authorities on Tibet
that the reverence in which this
Buddhist kingdom, its holy capi-
tai of Lhassa and its Living
Buddha" ruler, the 16-year-old
Dalai Lama, are held through
out Asia, virtually forces the
West to support Tibet to coun-
terbalance the Communist back

tee of a staff study of technical
and background information deal
ing with problems of peace and
international control posed by
efforts to develop the hydrogen
bomb.
The SSddy. prepared by techni-
cal experts of the committee staff,
said "a considerable stockpile of
atomic bombs is in existence but
that the hydrogen bomb has not
yet been developed.
"It might be possible" the study
said. ito construct an H-bomb
whose blast damage in a circle of
10 miles radius would be comp
arabic to that which occurred at
Hiroshima in circle of one mile
radius
100 Times Strength of A-BOmb.
That would mean an H-bont
100 times more powerful than the
early A-bomb which at Hiroshima
was rated as being 10000 times as
potent as INT.
The study pointed out, without
attempting to answer. numerous
questions posed by the hydrogen
bomb and said the present United
Nations plan for international
atomic controls is largely for
fashionable materials necessary for
the production of A-bombs. The
hydrogen bomb, it was noted,
would depend upon fashionable"
materials that involve an en-
tirely different reaction.
On the submarine project, Sem
ator Mcmahon said that he, mem
bers of the Atomic Energy Com
mission and high-ranking naval
officers will go to the New London
(Conn.) submarine base next
Tuesday to discuss the progress
being made on atomic power for
underseas craft. The Electric Boat
Co. at nearby Groton is working

The Arco prototype, or original

been working since early 1947. The
project is being carried on jointly
for the Acc by the Argonne Ma
tional Laboratories, near Chicago
and the Westinghouse Corp.
The Acc earlier had set Sep
tember target date for start oi

Virginia Press Hears
Hawaii State Plea
BY The Assoeiutsd Pres,

ROANOKE. Va. July 22.--
Statehood for Hawaii, campaign
now being pressed in Congress
has existed as political idea. in
the islands for nearly a century,
William H. Ewing of the Honolulu
Star-Bulletin, told the Virginia
Press Association here tonight.
Mr.. Ewing, now chief of the
Star-Bulletin's Washington Bu-
reau, recalled that President
Franklin Pierce in 1854 proposed
a treaty with the kingdom of
Hawaii which would have brought
Hawaii into the union as a state.
THE treaty was not ratified -
he said, "but the proposal set in
motion an idea and fixed an aim
which has been persistently sought
after particularly since Hawaii
was annexed to the United States
so years ago."
Regarding Hawaii's capacity for
statehood, he said the territory
consistently pays more Federal
taxes than any one Of about a
dozen states and has a greater
population than six states.
He added the territory spends
more per capita on public edu-
cation than any of 80 states: pays
it's public school teachers more
than any of As states-and has
higher training requirements for
elementary public schools than
any state. ~s

In announcing he would oppose
Mr.. Hartle. Mr.. Allen said:
ut is my understanding that
this is avowedly an open pri-
mary, and that it is any Demo-
Gratis right to offer himself as a
candidate. I do so with the reali-
cation that the right to decide
between me and Gen. Hartle or
any other candidate who may ap-
pear is, and should be, entirely
within the hands of the voters of
this district" !
Mr.. Allen pledged fair and i'm
partial representation" if elected.
Referring to Mr.. Beall, he said:
Il think the people of the dis
trict are ready for a change" -"
The Democratic candidate has
been active in a number of clubs
and fraternal organizations, in
cluding Masonic orders. the Sons
OF the American Revolution and
the KiwaniS Clubs of Bethesda,
Silver Spring and Rockville. Mr..
and Mrs. Allen and two of their
children. Carolyn, Is, and Linda
Lou, 2, live at 1920 Hampden lane,
Bethesda. They also have a mar
ried daughter.
