ber of major changes in the
nations defense policy.
Neither the exact size Of the
force nor when it will be made
available were reported.
The sources said the govern
ment's decision is likely to be an
nounced during tomorrow's House
of Commons debate on Britain's s
defense policy.
Best information available from
qualified officials during the past

anything between battalion and

Pact Nations Told to Arm.
Meanwhile, the United States
called on her Atlantic pact part
ners to rearm quickly for the sake
of world peace, warning that the
West must not again be caught

It was learned that Charles M.
Spofford, American member, told
the first meeting of the Atlantic
Alliance Council that Korea has
shown communism would not hes

Mccarthy Tells Senate
He Has Alright Proof
On Top State Dept. Red
Loyalty File Evidence
Is CIoimed Against
Moscow-Born Mr.. K
BY the Assoeiafed Press

Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin declared today he
has air-tight proof that an i'm
portant State Department official
"a MoScow-born "Mr. ks a
Communist.
The proof, Senator Mccarthy
said in a speech on the floor, is
contained in the departments own
loyalty file on the official.
He said his evidence was fur
nished by IAN FBI agent, an
undercover agent, (who) joined
the Communist Party in 1887 at
the suggestion of the FBI."
Senator Mccarthy described the
case as one of the 81 covered by
the State Department loyalty filed
examined by a Senate Foreign Re-
lations Subcommittee which inves-
tigated Senator McCarthy's
charges of Communists in Gov
ernment.
To Submit Photographic Copy.
A report last week by the DEM
ocratic majority of that inquiry
group labelled Senator McCarthy's
accusations "a fraud and a hoax. :"
The two Republicans on the
committee refused to sign the re-
port. Senator Lodge, Republican,
of Massachusetts,, got out minor
ity document calling the inquiry
superficial and inconclusive. Sen
ator Hickenlooper, Republican, Of
Iowa, said he was in general accord
with Senator Lodges views.
In his prepared text today, Sen
ator Mccarthy said he was submit
ting to the Senate photographed

ment file. He did not hand out
the copy in advance.
He said he had deleted the name
OF Mr.. K" from the copies he
would make public, but that he
would hand an unedited copy to
some other Senator so the name
could be verified.

In a letter to House Speaker

"The purpose of these proposed
estimates is two-fold: First, to
meet the immediate situation in
Korea, and second, to provide for
an early, but orderly, build-up of
our military forces to state of
readiness designed to deter furth-

throughout the day against wave
after wave of enemy assaults
along the Taejon-Yongdong high
way, finally quit Yongdong for
new, undisclosed positions.
Gen. Mae,Arthur's early morn
ing operational release today con-
ceded that the North Korean in
vaders were continuing their pres-
sure despite heavy losses and
severed communications.
This release said further with
drawals may be necessary" but
did not include the. withdrawal
from Yongdong late yesterday,
which field dispatches already had
reported.
8 Red Divisions in Drive.
Gen. MacArthur's early morn
ing release listed eight Communist
divisions on the offensive, start
ing in the far southwest corner
with the enemy 4th Division.
The others, ranged from West
to East. were listed in this order
The Sd, I'd, 18th, 1st, 9th, 7th
and 5th. If at full strength, the
enemy force would total close to
$4,000 men, since Red divisions
previously have been officially es-
timated to contain about 5000
each.
The rampaging Reds of the 4th
Division had sheared off all the
western and southwestern side of
the Korean peninsula and turned
toward Pusan, American supply
port 100 air miles to the east.
Gen. Macarthur reported one
minor advance for the South Ko-
rean defenders: A 1-mile gain by
friendly forces" north of Kang-
gu on the east coast. This would
put them 8 miles south of Red
held Yongdok, a coastal town not
to be confused with Yongdong.
Most Yanks Escape City.
Yongdong was abandoned after
a fierce daylong fight. Most of
the United States troops got out
safely. But troops on the fianks
were trapped and battered by
Communist roadblocks, snipers and
guerrillaS.
The Reds stole through the hills
surrounding Yongdong wearing
grass and leaves to blend in with
the countryside. Their camou-
fage made them difficult targets
for American arms.
Yongdong is 20 miles southeast
of abandoned Taejon, on the i'm
portant American rail supply line
leading from the southeastern port
of Pusan.
Air observers saw many North
Korean soldiers moving north and
south of the city in pincers
movement aimed at trapping these
American soldiers in their first
major engagement with the Com
munists.
Frontal Attacks Made.
The battle started with heavy
frontal attacks on American posi-
tions across the main Taejon-
Pusan highway at points west of
Yongdong. Fanatical Communists
in waves fell on the 1st Cavalry
troops.
Meager reports indicated Yong
dong itself was not fought over
contrary to earlier reports. The
Americans pulled back through
the town to their new positions.
Most of the townspeople had
been evacuated in line with an Or
der for all civilians to get out of
the battle zone.
