Truman to Present Plans for Red Halt Compiled by A1 Karr From the wires of Associated Press President Truman, in his annual state-uf-the-union message at 10 a.m. todav * expected to tell the eighty-second Cong ress in person what he wants the United btates to do to halt the advance of war-making Communism. The president’s congressional leaders expect lnm to lay em phasis on the grave international situation, belt tightening at home, and the need for more billions to bolster the tree world s position. A call for national support of the Administration s tor eign policies was believed certain. Tenacious United Nations Troops... .Sunday clung to Wonju in central South Korea, where Communists penetrated 60 miles below the 38th parallel. U. S. Eighth Army headquarters said latest information from the Ko rean war’s only active battle zone said that allied forces still held the road and rail center of Wonju. 55 miles southeast of fallen Seoul, at 6:50 p.m. Sunday, Pacific Standard Time. However, Wonju’s fall appear ed only a matter of time. Rifles for Korean Youths... .were pleaded for by Korean President Syngman Rhee, whose re fugee government was again in southeast Korea. “This is now a fight for our very lives," he said, his voice shaking with emotion.” “Our people now know' that if the Chinese catch them they will be killed. If the Chin esc come in waves, we want to kill them in waves. Britain and France Rejected .Sunday the previous Russian piotest against the rearming of West ern Germany. The whole question arose, the British charged, “solely because Soviet policy and actions have compelled the other nations to examine all means of improving their security against the threat of communist aggression.” General Dwight D. Eisenhower Returned. . . .to Paris Sunday to build and take command of an international army to defend the West against Communism. He immediately warned any who might be tempted to test the power of the West to ponder well first. General Eisenhower, symbol of allied unity in World War II, declared, “Aroused and united, there is nothing which the nations of the Atlantic community cannot achieve. Let those who might be tempted to put this power to test ponder well the lessons of history. The cause of freedom can never be defeated." Creation of a Huge International Army... . .under the Atlantic Pact will be supported by Senator Taft (Re publican-Ohio i if General Eisenhower and Congress approve it, accord ing to a statement made by Taft Sunday. But he made it clear that be does intend to oppose such a force while awaiting the results of a sur vey by Eisenhower, commander of the proposed army, and congression al debate and action. Taft said that he believed having an American in command of such an army would mean that Europeans “will regard us as being piimarily responsible for the army.” Asked if he would “prefer to put our troops under a foreign command - er,” Taft replied, "Yes.. . .because I don't think this project is primarily our project. It seems to me that our chief strategy is control of the sea and air throughout the world. The defense of Europe is primarily the con cern of the European nations.” Swift Creation of Great Military Power. . . .for the United States and a clear showing that there will be an ade quate share for Europe as soon as General Eisenhower decides that Eu rope will do its part and that the defense job can be done were called for Sunday by 33 prominent Americans. Tracey S. Voorhees, former Undersecretary of War, issued a state ment on behalf of the group, which includes the names of a number of university heads, the president of the Carnegie Institute, the general manager of the New York Times, former seertary of war Robert P. Pat terson, and other men prominent in science, law, literature, business, and international planning. Sending Dependents Home From Hong Kong. . . .was authorized by two more American firms for their employees Sunday, because of the ominous massing of Red troops in Communist China, only 80 miles away. The firms are the American President Lines nnd The National City Bank of New York. U.s. Consulate in Hong Konk hasn noti ssued any general warning for Americans to leave, but attaches had passed the word privately that they • will not quarrel” with anyone who decides to do so. French Troops in Indo-China. . . .drove forward unopposed in the third day of their counter-offensive Sunday night on the northeast Indo-China frontier. They reoccupied the outpost of Tanmai, lb miles west of the French coastal fortress ot Mon cay. The counterattacking French are rapidly retaking western perimeter positions piotecting the Mom ay-Tienyen salient captured by Comnuin ists-led Yietminh troops over the last two months. A Sawed-off Missouri Desperado. .. .who is feared to have slain eight persons faced a trap being set by police officers in California Sunday. The police officers, sparked by the F. B. 1., tam'd out in a 200-mile radius Sunday, seeking to close the trap. One of the biggest manhunts in Southern California crime annals was intensified after an all night search failed to locate the desperado, 24 year old William Edward Cook, Jr. Cook is wanted specifically in the desert slaving of Robert H. Dewey. 43. of Seattle, Saturday, and for questioning about the killing of an Illinois family of five. An officer that ho kidnapped in Saturday's escapade said that the Mis- j souriun also boasted of killing two men in Oklahoma. Cook abandoned the car of his latest victim in Mexico today, but the F. B. 1. said that he ^ Apparently headed back toward the 1 nited States.
