u. ). Exerts Pressure
On More Nations 10
Send Men 10 Korea
By Ernie Hill

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, June
9.-The United States is expect
ing behind the scenes pressure on
Ianticommunist countries to hasten
troops to Korea while the Chinese
and North Korean Reds are on the
run.
For the past several months,
IA United Nations countries have
had troops in the field helping
the Republic of Korea army.
The United States would like to
see at least II more countries
send units to Asia to bring the
total to Is. This would be con-
Sidered strong enough represen-
tation to show that collective
security will work.
Ethiopian troops already have
landed and Colombian troops are
expected soon to bring the num-
ber of participants up to Is.
At Least 9 More Sought.
Those already fighting the war
would like to see at least nine
from the following countries lend
their support-Brazil, Chile, Cuba,
Egypt, India, Israel, Mexico, Pana-
ma, Pakistan, Norway, Sweden and
Syria.
them in conversation and con-
ferences pointing out that the re-
moval of Gen. Macarthur elimi-
mates informal complaints about
the possibility of expanding the
war without U. N. approval.
They are being approached on
the basis that the United States
is trying to run the war the way
the U. N. wants it run and that
the least the members can do is
to cooperate with troop dona-
tionS.
Britain and France are being
urged with considerable force to
increase the units they have sent
to Korea. Gen. Omar N. Bradley,
of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, repeatedly is discussing the
prospect for more British troops
in his conversations at this time
in London.
u. S. Troops Assigned.
The United States has informed
the Collective Measures Commit
tee which meets here weekly that
virtually all American troops now
in uniform are under assignment
either to Korea or to the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization force
in Europe.
Such a statement was read be-
fore the committee meeting be-
hind closed doors yesterday.
The statement was a strong one,
pointing out how the United
States is sending almost all of it's
men under arms to fight against
world Communist aggression.
Little doubt was left as to this
country's belief that others should
increase their forces to hurry and
assign units to this psychology
cal" hour.
British, French May Respond
Britain and France are expected
to respond to the American appeal
at the committees next meeting,
while some other countries are be-
lieved preparing to add men to the
U. N. roster now in Korea.
The IA countries which have
been represented include Australia,
Belgium, Canada, France, Greece,
Netherlands. New Zealand, Lux
the Philippines, Thai
land, Turkey, the Union of South
Africa, United Kingdom and the
United States.
The United States hopes that att
least Is countries will participate
in the Korean war so that prece-
dent of cooperation with collec-
tive security will be established for
future action.
Least hope for getting co-opera-
tion is expected from most South
American and Middle East coun-
tries.

Effects Of Price War

The Senate Small Bushes:
Committee announced tonight Il
will investigate the effect on small
business of the price wars.
Chairman Sparkman, Democrat
Iof Alabama said the committee
staff will gather "all available
data on the harm which may be-
fan manufacturers and small re-
tailers who are caught in the
croSS-fire of a vicious price-cut-
ting war " Public hearings will
be held later.
Unchecked price-cutting may
easily force some small retailers
into bankruptcy simply because
they cannot afford to sell mer-
chandiSe at or near cost" Sena-
tor Sparkman'S statement said.
He also spoke of "the disad-
vantage to manufacturers of
branded goods whose prestige and
good will cannot help but be dam
aged when prices are slashed and
their products are 'cheapened' by
competitive price cutting"
NEW YORK, June 9 (P.-The
price war struck a weekend lull
today except at one store where
advertised reductions of watches
and clothing attracted thousands
of bargain hunters.
An executive of S. Klein's esti-
mated that $4,000 customers Wis

'BronnonMo Set off Campaign
Fireworks With New Farm Plan

ARE not opposed to Mr.. Brannan's
stated goal, but to his methods.
They charge that he is attempt
ing to usurp the roles of the pri-
vate farm organizations and of
Congress in determining what
Federal farm policies should be.
They contend that the depart
ment's role is solely one of ad-
IminiStering whatever programs
Congress may vote.
They also charge that the Sec
retary is trying to find new ways
of "regimenting" agriculture.
Mr.. Brannan denies this and
points out that he has not ignored
the farm organizations. Instead.
he has invited them to take part
in the review.
Proposals Expected.
Out of the survey is expected
to come legislative proposals for
"a Cd broad technical assistance
program for the less efficient
farms and farmers and CD a
larger farm loan program de-
signed to help such farmers to
Acquire land. machinery. equip
ment, livestock and the knowledge
needed to operate an efficient
unit.
While farmers were asked to
debate the question of Govern
ment purchase of land for re-
.subdividing into farms. Mr.. Bran
nan is not expected to embrace
such a proposal, 1t has been
llkened. by its critics, to the Rus
sian plan of confiscating large
land holdings and dividing them
into government controlled small
units.
On the other hand, the Secre-
tary is not expected to abandon
his suggestion that the Govern
ment use production payments as
one method of supporting farm
prices. Under this method, farm
ers would get payments from the
Government when their prices fell
below a predetermined fair" level.
Under the present support
method. the Government helps re-
move a part of the crop from
the market as q means of sup
porting prices. 1t does this
through loans and purchases. Mr.
Brannan objects that this leads
to waste of food and denies con-
sumers the benefit OF abundant
farm production.

By Ovid A. Mortin

Associated Press Siotf Writer
The Truman Administration
may come up soon with a new
farm program which will touch
off some fireworks in the 1857
campaign.
Secretary Of Agriculture Bran
nan and his aides start this week
checking results of a grass roots
survey for ideas on how the Fed
eral Government might do more
to help small farmers.
Out of it may blossom a new
program to take the place of the
controversial plan advanced by
Mr.. Brannan in 1949, but bitterly
opposed by some farm groups and
rejected by Congress.
| The survey-and the resulting
proposals. if Anyway we'll be-
come a major issue in farming
areas in next years Presidential
campaign. Mr.. Brannan already
is under attack from leaders of
the powerful Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton.
Many Meetings Sponsored.
Since early in the summer, the
Agriculture Department has spon-
sored thousands of meetings OF
farmers and other interested in
agriculture.
The textbook used for such dis
cussions was 12l-page booklet
entitled Family Farm Policy
Review" prepared and issued by
the department. In it were set
forth present programs and sug-
gestions-for discussion purposes
for possible changes.
Each local meeting was asked to
submit recommendations, which
i'm turn were incorporated in
County and State reports. These
reports were due at Secretary
Brannan's Office not later than
Oct. Is.
Questions Raised.
The departments family farm
policy review booklet raised ques-
tions like these:
Should the Government buy up
land. redivide it into economic
or efficient" units, and resell it to
low income farmers?
Should present crop controls,
now limited to major crops, be
Extended to cattle, hogs, sheep,
poultry, eggs. milk and scores of
other commodities?
Should the Government use pro-
duction payments-often dubbed
subsidies-to support prices?
Should the Government provide
"a broader loan program for en-
largement and development of
farms? Should such loans be
made without down payments?
Should there be a broad farm
housing program? What super
vision should the Government ex-
ercise over borrowers?
Believed Answer to Production.
In authorizing the grass-roots
poll. Secretary Brannan expressed
the belief that If the productivity
Iof the sub-standard farms could
be increased. many Of agriculture S
problemS-which show up in de-
mandS for price supports and other
financial aid-would tend to dis
Iappear.
The Brannan survey has stirred
up bitter criticism among some
farm leaders. particularly the
Farm Bureau. These leaders have
refused to take part in the dis
cussions and in many States have
advised their members to keep
aloof.
Critics emphasize that they

ment of his good friend, humorist George E. Allen, Ike listened to predictions that the British Empire was falling apart, that the French would not fight, that the U.S.A was hoplessly divided and without leadership, an that Russia would seize Europe before he coul or ganize it's defenses.
 Finally Eisenhower rose and punched out these words: Anyone who has ever lived with our boys in action knows that we are still the most dynamic nation in the world. But we've lost faith in our selves. What we need is to prove to ourselves and the world what we can do That way we will streng- then our allies and make aggres- sion by the enemy impossible. I know we can dot it."
 This caused George Allen to re- minisce. Do you remember how pessimistic I was when you first went to England to start a second front? I told you Hitler was go- ing to bottle up the Mediterran can, knock Russia out of the war and invade Ireland.

argued against it. Sensing some political trick. most of the Presiden- tial advisers felt that Truman should not open his doors to Taft unless the Senator agreed, in ad- vance, to support a bipartisan foreign policy.
 President Truman, who has al- ways had a sneaking admiration for Taft, listened to the arguments At one moment he was inclined to throw protocol to the wind, call Taft to his office, take down his hair and say, Bob, we're in jam in the world. We need your help!" But he was talked out of it.
 Finally, after some three weeks of pickering within the White House circle, compromise was reached Taft would be invited in, but only as one of a group of Congressional leaders summoned to the White House for formal conference.
 Net result was that the rebuffed Taft angrily told the Republican conference he was opposed even to consulting" with the Adminis- tration. And, in his foreign policy speech recently, he accused the President of violating the Constitu- ton by sending troops to Korea.
