following the fall of France, and
more than three months after
Pearl Harbor."
The President replied:
81 appreciate your report that,
as of March 81, 1851, the strength
of the United States armed forces
will be double what it was nine
months ago, when Communist
forces invaded the Republic of
Korea. I wish to commend you
and all your associates in the
Army. the Navy, and the Air
Force, for the strenuous efforts
which have made such growth
possible. This tremendous gain
i'm our strength has been made
necessary by the lawless agrees
sion of Communist forces in Ko-
Irea. and by the menace of still
further Communist attacks against
other free nations. The armed
forces we are building, and the
supplies for them which our fac
tories, farms and mines are turn
ing out, are for the protection
and preservation of our freedom
The speed with which we have
been able to strengthen our de-
lenses should be a source of in
|spiration and encouragement to
men everywhere who love free
dom. 1t is evidence of our deter
limitation. in company with other
free nations, to establish and
maintain world peace.
Immediate Goal Is 3.5 Million.
"I am confident that, under
your wise leadership, the Depart
ment of Defense will continue to
build the strength we need, fully
supported by the Congress and by
the American people"
The immediate goal of the
armed forces is 3.5 million per-
sonnet, as announced by Mr..
Truman last January. That
means a net increase of 100000
more will be needed. Actually,
the number will be somewhat
higher because in the meantime
several thousands will have had
Ienlistments expire, become casual
ties or leave the service for other
reasons.
The greater part of the increase
which has doubled manpower
strength came from volunteer
enlistments, the calling in of
.reservists of the four services and
the liberalization of six divisions,
two regimental combat teams and
smaller units of the National
Guard. The draft has brought in
about 100000 men since last
September. However, it has been
only within the last two months
that the draft has added to the
strength of combat units. -Four
months of training were needed
before the draftees indicted in
September were ready to begin
moving into combat elements of
the Army. The Navy, Air Force
and Marines have used no
draftees so far.
Army Approaches Goal.
While exact figures may not be
used, it may be said the Army is
now beginning to approach the
l 4-million strength figure men
toned by Gen. Bradley, chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. in
congressional committee testimony
last month. At the time he spoke,
the Army total was about IL mil
lion. Navy and Air Force strength
then was approximately 100000
each, the Marine Corps approx
Imately 10000.

and sentenced to five to 10 years
lin prison on spy charges. The
United States termed the trial a
fraud, --.-
The conference of the repre-
Isentatives of Central and Eastern
European countries, including
Representatives Of Czechoslovakia
denounced the prosecution of Mr.
Oats at a meeting here. A state
ment said:
1.-THE Communists propose to
demonstrate on incidents Of this
kind before the oppressed peoples
the alleged weakness Of the West

awareness that the resistance in
the Iron Curtain countries is pri-
marily nourished by the hope and

The conference is made up OF

ions here.
One of BittereSt Attacks.
Gen. Macarthur chose a BIZ
partisan Massachusetts, Legis-
lature-a Republican Senate and
a Democratic HouSe-to lash out
last night with one of the bitter
est attacks on American policy
since President Truman fired him
from his Far East commands.
Grim-faced and even more de-
termined than when he addressed
Congress, he charged that United
States has mo plan-either for
Korea or at home"
While skating around the cur
rent cease-flre negotiations under

Gen. Macarthur commended the

The general said one of the
reasons for his custer was for

sarcasm, "for this proposal, was

But Gen. Macarthur struck out

Truman Urges Trans Pre- mier 10 Negotiate in
 Explosive Situation

TERRAIN, Iran, June l --IR- President Truman intervened per- sonaliy today in Trans oil crisis. He sent a letter to Premier Mohammed Mossadegh urging that negotiations be instituted with Britain for set clement of the present explosive situation.
 British Foreign Secretary Herbert Morrison offered on May .19 to send a high diplomatic mission to nego- tiate all outstanding differences be- tween Iran and Britain mainly the problems arising from Trans in- sistence upon nationalizing her oil resources, including the big Anglo Iranian Oil Company.
 President Truman's letter was de- livered by U. s. Ambassador Henry F. Grady at Premier Mossadegh's home this morning. Mossadegh re- portedly is sick in bed with a fever.
 Informants in Tehran said the note apparently was in spired in Washington from the State Department and not by suggestions from diplomats on the scene. This seems to emphasize the importance President Truman attaches to the oil situation. An earlier U. s. state ment said the crisis is threat to the unity of the whole free world.

Diqgers Will Collect Biq Sum for Work Catch
 of Reds Picking Up

CORDOVA. Alaska, June 1 -tR-- Cordova's razor clam pack, which represents 85 ger cent of the total Pacific Coast domestic pack, wound up this week with 100000 pounds being taken from nearby beaches.
 Clamdiggers got 20 per cent raise this year to Is cents pound, and will collect close to $250,000, the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service estimated.
 Cannery workers, who got a Is per cent across -the-board increase, also will clean about $250,000.
 The FWS also said the red salmon catch is picking up with indica- tions of a fair season. Distribution among fishermen will be bad this year however, as there was an un- usual influx of outside and other Alaska district fishermen.
 The Service estimated there was approximately 100 miles of nets on the fishing grounds, or more than double the normal amount.
