GIVE ME A MAN
(From Red-Fez)

Just give me a man with a million
or two,
Or one who is handsome would
happily do.
A dashing young fellow is swell
any day,
Or one who is famous would suit
me okay.
But if the man shortage should get
any worse

New Chinese Formula
Spurs Arab-Asiatie
Truce Move in U. n.
Sentiment, Is Growing to
Exhaust All Means Before
Voting Red Condemnation
By the As.aiased Pres.

LAKE SUCCESS, Jan. 2s.-
Communist China's revised peace
formula for Korea appeared today
to have given added impetus to
the Asian-Arab move to continue
United Nations efforts toward a
cease fire.
Most delegatessstill were await
ing Instructions from their gov
ernments. but there was strong
private sentiment In favor of ex-
hausting all possible avenues be-
fore adopting the United States
proposal to brand the Peiping re-
glme as an aggressor.
This feeling was reflected to
some extent in the statement
made by British Prime Minister
Attlee in the House of Commons
today. Mr.. Attlee said:
"We do not believe the time has
come to consider further meas
ures. To do so implies that we
have abandoned hope of reaching
peaceful settlement, and this we
have not done"
IL Nations Call Meeting.
The IL Asian and Arab coun-
tries, who have been working to-
gether to bring peace in the Far
East, called another private meet
ing for tonight to decide what
their next step would be. They
already had drafted new cease
fire appeal and were ready to sub
NIT it yesterday, but postponed
action when they learned of the
new Peiping communication.
These moves appeared almost
certain to widen the split between
the non-Communist countries
since the United States indicated
it would continue to press for
quick approval of it's aggression
resolution when the U. N. Polit-
ical Committee meets tomorrow
after its 48-hour recess.
Although the United States
claims a substantial majority in
favor of it's proposal, there has
been an obvious tendency among
some delegations to avoid tag
ging Peiping as an aggressor ex-
cept as the last resort. Peiping's
"clarification" message may, there
fore, cause them to back a new
peace move.

a considerable deficit of trained

1.-THE millennium would like
to seaside from peace-is one
excess trained man. It would be
the first time we have ever had
one."
At the outbreak of the Korean
conflict: Gen. Marshall said, Gen
Macarthur was forced to fill up
the four. divisions he had in Japan
with about 10000 Korean troops
Some OF the Koreans had three
weeks straining and some had
none at all, he said. Gen. Mac
Arthur added 1900 Korean troops
to the 7th Division alone, fol-
