Truman Issues Orders in Crisis-Fdr Reaching
 Statement Issued

WASHINGTON. June 27 - R - President Truman today ordered United States planes and warships to the aid of South Korean forces. He laid down policy of standing firm against Communist aggression in the Far Pacific.
 AS part of the broader policy. MT. Truman directed that the U. 5. Seventh Fleet be prepared to in tervene to prevent any Communist attack on Formosa, the island re- fuge of the Chinese Nationalist government.
 At the same time. he asked that Chiang Kai Shek head of the Chi nese Nationalists, cease attacks on the mainland as a contribution to- ward the pacification of the whole area
 He also announced he is stepping up aid to the Philippines and Indo- china.
 Truman's Statement
 Mir. Truman announced his ac- tions in a statement which de- clared:
 The attack upon Korea makes it plain beyond all doubt that Communism has passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer inde- dependent nations and will now use armed invasion and war" It was learned that MT. Truman's historic decisions were reached at a high policy meeting at the White House last night.~s- ~s--.. ~. Before announcing them in statement today. he called both Democratic and Republican Con- gressional leaders to the White House to review them and explain the background.
 The United States actions were taken under the United Nations resolution which condemned the Communist invasion of Korea and asked all members of the LIN. to lend their support to carrying out the JUN. declaration for halt to the fighting.
 Next Big Question
 The next big question is what will be Russia's reaction.
 The hope of American officials is that the Soviets will refrain from any direct aid to the North Korean forces and permit the fighting there to be ended. . Even before Mir Truman's an- nouncement that he was sending air cover to the South Koreans, there had been reports from in formed Tokyo sources that Ameri- can bombers would hit towns held by the Communists south of the 38th parallel-the dividing line be- tween South and, North Korea. A,
 Tn their invasion, the Comm,inists have used small amphibious forces to land troops behind the lines of the South Koreans. This is one tactic which superior American forces could quickly stop.
 (Seoul broadcasts said an Amer. ican General would take command of the joint defense operation.

FEPC Showdown Due
Friday on Lucas Move
ToCurb Senate Debate
By J. A. O'Leory

The Senate showdown on the
Fair Employment Practices bill
probably will come Friday, on 9
move by Majority Leader Lucas
to invoke the new debate-curbine
rule adopted last year.
Observers doubt that he car
muster the 81 votes required tc
put the new rule'int operation
however. Without it the admin
istration would face a hopeless
task trying to wear down a fill
buster by nearly a score of South
ern opponents of the bill.
The Seante is in recess today
and when it meets again Monday
the opposition will be ready to
continue speaking against the
pending motion to take up the
bill.
Senator Lucas pointed out yes
terday that the first test of the
new anti-filibuster rule will be "a
mere technical matter" since it
will be only for the purpose OF
getting the bill before the Senate
Even if the bill is taken up ii
would again be open to unlimited
debate unless the Senate should
vote a second time to invoke the
cloture rule.
Senator Russell, Democrat, oil
Georgia took exception to the
Lucas claim that getting the bill
before the Senate is only a tech
nical step, and would not prevent
the opposition from debating the
issue on its merits once it is up
for formal consideration. 4s@
The Georgian said the South
erners are fighting the prelimi-
nary motion because the bill is
being brought to the Senate with
out hearings and without a rec
ommendation from the commit
tee to which it was referred.
Senator Russell said it would set
a bad precedent for the Senate
to begin taking up bills on this
basis.
If the administration fails next
week to get the votes to apply the
nti-filibuster rule, pressure will
develop soon thereafter to lay
FEPC aside for the new Social
Security bill, about to come from
the Finance Committee.

ness"

Before the conference opened
this morning. italian Foreign Min
lister Count Carlo Sforza conferred
with Mr.. Bevin for half hour.
It was believed he brought up the
problem of Trieste and Italian
Yugoslav relations.
Acheson Pushed German Plan.
MIR. Acheson had made the Ger
man plan one of his top projects
for the meeting which has re-
viewed the progress made by the
anti Communist world in eco
nomic. political and military
spheres.
The French, who brought two
dramatic surprise proposals to the
conference, have seen one turned
dow nand the intentions of the
other approved.
Although no official announce
ment has been made, it was
learned from an informed source
that Mr.. Schuman brought up
Premier Georges Bidault's pro-
posal for a supreme Atlantic
council for peace"
Britain and the United States
turned thumbs down on the plan
because it would Superimpose an
other organization on the many
already linking the nations of
Western Europe. an informed
source said. r
This informant said Mr.. Bevin

ganization would only complicate
the international scene.

ternational authority. which other
nations would be invited to join.
won guarded approval in principle,
a Western spokesman said.
The spokesman said the min
listers could not take any definite
stand on the plan, however, until
all the details were surveyed.
2 Statements on Germany.
The Big Three foreign ministers
issued two formal statements on
Germany. One reaffirmed their
intention to stay in Berlin and
to seek free elections in the city
so that it may take its due place
in a free and united Germany"
The other accused Russia of
grave disregard for human
rights" charging she had failed
to return all Germans and Japa-
nese taken prisoners of war by
Soviet troops.
The choice of the phrase "hu-
man rights" was an indication the
Western powers might bring the
question up at the next United
Nations Assembly, charging Russia
with violating the U. N.-approved
declaration on human rights.
