KOREA:
A Hot War

The cold war, which has caused
one crisis after another in recent
months, had famed into a hot wal
on one front. Soviet sponsored arm
les of North Korea invaded South
Korea, established by the United
Nations with the blessing and aid
Of the United States.
First reports of the attack were
confused. 1t was known, however,
that the invaders advanced as much
as IL miles into South Korea by
using ground forces totaling as
many as 40, 900 men, plus 80 tanks.
An additional 10000 men were be-
lieved ready to reinforce the in
vaders.
Some reports indicated the invad-
ers had penetrated within IL miles
of Seoul, capital of South Korea,
while others said the northerners
had been checked almost immedia-
tely. There were reports also of
amphibious landing on the east
coast of South Korea.
The main attack was directed
along the Uijongbu valley, for CEN
turtles the path of invaders. Maj.
Gen. Choi Byung Kud, chief of staff
of the South Korea army, reported.
Shin Sung Mo, acting Premier
and defense minister, said he had
evidence that of northern tanks cap
tured in the first attack, half of the
crews we're Russian. Minister Kim
Yong Ju was in Tokyo when the at
tack was launched.
Meanwhile, the United States be-
gan the evacuation of 600 Ameri-
cans from the Seoul They
were leaving Korea by sea with
us. air protection. The evacuation
plan was completed only a week be-
fore the sneak attack.
According to American military
men who have been directing the
training of the South Korea army,
the defenders have $4,000 men to
battle the invaders. They will be
handicapped, however, by the lack
of an air force and tanks.
North Korea is reported to have
LOG military planes, including 70
Russian Yaks and 25 Stormoviks.

UNITED NATIONS:
North Koreu Guilty

The United Nations, in an emer-
gency session shortly after the
sneak attack by Communist DOM
mated North Korea on South Korea,
branded the north the aggressor and
ordered an immediate %cease-fire
throughout Korea.
The Soviet Union was conspicuous
by the absence of its delegates
from the emergency session.
Acting swiftly and bluntly, the
U.N. termed the assault an "un-
provoked attack" and a "clear
threat to international peace and
security"
The resolution called for imme-
| date cease-fire and implicated that
the U.N. would move to take strong
er measures if North Korea flouted
the council.
Meanwhile, reaction in the United
States was Immediate and to the
point. President Truman cut short
a visit to Missouri and returned to
Washington. A conference was
called between top diplomatic and
defense chiefs.
The problem they faced was a
critical one. The situation demand
ed a clear and strong reaction since
too much was at stake in terms Of
American prestige in the Far East.
As a result, a Critical amount"
Of arms aid was said to have been
started to Korea Immediately. 1t
was also reported General Mac
Arthur had been authorized to draw
on stocks of equipment available in
Japan rather than let Korea wait
for shipments to be put together
in the United States.
Many American observers saw
the attack on South Korea as a
Soviet test of us. reaction toward
aggression. They did not believe,
however, that the Communists are
ready for any military aggression
on a broad international scale.
It was recalled by many that
World War II started with acts Of
aggression against minor powers
and not from declarations of wal.
With this view in mind, the ques-
ton arose whether the North Korea
attack is an early test Of physical
and moral strength of the democrat
ic nations.
The present situation calls for
firmness, political observers agree.

FARM SUPPORTS:
Senate Approves

After a hot floor debate, the
senate completed congressional ac'
ton and sent to President Truman
a bill to give the Commodity Credit
Corporation an additional $4,000
900, 900 to finance its federal farm
price-support programs. The Pres
ident was expected to sign the
measure.
The debate developed over a pro-
vision in the bill which would shut
the door on imported foreign farm
crops if they threatened to upset
the domestic farm-support program.
The provision was included in
the bill and requires Secretary OF
Agriculture Brannan to demand an
investigation Of the tariff commits
sion whenever he believes foreign
imports are interfering with domes-
tic farm programs.
The additional So, 1000, 900, 900 would
increase the C.C.C. total borrowing
authority to S., $50, 900, 900. Most of
the money now available to the
agency is tied up in price-support
loans and purchase agreements.
The measure barely got through
the senate, SO to 35 after Vice
President Barley exercised his
constitutional vote to break a 1875
tie.
Critics of the measure said it
would wreck the reciprocal-trade
program, sometimes called the key
stone of the nations foreign policy.

Many G.. |. Term Policies
Will Expire This Year

Many Pacific Northwest veter-
ans will find their G. l. term in
surance policies expiring during
the last half of this year, the vet
Grams administration has an
nounced. These are policies issued
in 1912 which are now completing
their e~ight-year term.
At the time of expiration, a vet
eran has the choice of three
courses he may follow. These are:
o. His term policy may be re-
newed for another five years at
an increased premium; (2) he may
convert his policy to any of the
six permanent plans of G.. |. in
surance; OF (3) he may drop the
insurance altogether.
Veterans may convert their tenn
porary term insurance to any of
the following permanent plans, or
a combination of these plans: Or
binary life, 30-pay life, 20-pay life,
20-year endowment, endowment at
age 60 and endowment at age 65.
He may also carry part of his in
surance as term and the remain
der under a permanent plan, if it
better fits his needs.
The V. A. will attempt to notify
all veterans well in advance of the
expiration date of their policies in
order to allow sufficient time for
renewal or conversion. Once a
term policy has expired, a veteran
has no recourse except to apply
for new insurance and pass the
required physical examination.
