Truman Says United States Forces
Will Be Stronger Than Ever Ii
Korean Full-Scale Fighting Renewed
President Declares
Oats Case Will
MOI BE Closed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-{A9
President Truman discussed
the Korean war, the foreign aid
program and the William Oats
case during his news conference
today, but he had little to say
about the copper strike or his
1852 political intentions.
With regard to Korea, the Pre-
sident warned that United States
forces will be stronger than be-
fore if full scale fighting breaks
out again with the Communists.
MIR. Truman also said General
Matthew Ridgway has had his
complete support in everything
the supreme commander has
done since the cease-fire talks
started and were interrupted by
the Red charges.
Turning to the foreign aid pro-

sharply the cuts in funds for the
program. Describing the reduc-
tons as misplaced economy, Mr..
Truman said he would continue
to do all he could to restore them.
But he admitted it looks rather
hopeless now.
The President also took the oc-
casion to comment on the new
Czech Ambassadors remark yes
terday that the case of Associated
Press Correspondent William
Oats is closed from the legal
point of view.
Mr.. Truman told newSnen that
the Oats case will never be clo-
sed until Oats is freed from the
Czechoslovak Jail where he is
serving a sentence.
Also, the President said Editor
Daniels did not consult
him before predicting he would
seek reelection and win. But Mr..
Truman again refused to disclose
his political intentions for 1852.
