Chairman Kefauver told re-

Trygve Lies Urgent appeal for help
sent to So nations yesterday.
There has been no positive re-
sponse yet. None is expected un-
til cabinet meetings can be held
and each country can determine
specifically what it can send -
fighting men, food or equipment.
Egypt's war minister made clear
today that his country won't send
troops in answer to Mr.. Lies ap-
peal for effective aid, particularly
ground combat troops. The other
five Arab League members are
expected to follow Egypt's lead.
Going Slow on Idea.
Some observers said only about
25 countries could respond to the
appeal in a substantial way. It
was assumed a score of nations,
like Luxembourg and small Latin
American countries, could not fur
nish sizable forces of men or any,
thing else.
The Latin American delegations
are to caucus Monday to discuss
the situation again. They reached
no conclusions at a hurriedly
called meeting last night.
A number of questions have
caused the U. N. to go slow on
the international legion idea, born
in high secretariat levels a week
ago. A u. N. source familiar with
the subject indicated that it has
been discussed with the United
States delegation and that it may
be already in the hands of Gen.
Macarthur for final Judgment.
One go-slow reason is that the
