'v-'t -i-The- Statesman; 'Salem,- Orew Chinese Ambassador Stresses Seriousness of Red Menace Br Francis J. Kelly WASHINGTpN, Nov. 12-(jP)-Wellington Koo, .the Chines Am bassador, said tonight "the Communist menace in China is the gravest of its kind in ny part of the world." The Ambassador's comment came a few hours after; Senator Bridges (R-NH) had proposed President Truman call Congress into special session at once to increase Amen- . can help to China. Koo said he had no direct com ment to make on the special ses sio n proposal but did declare in a statement China Min the face of thei communist armed revolt to seize control of the whole country, has urgent need of and would wel come more aid and assistance giv en promptly." Bridges said there is grave danger the communists may en gulf China "lock, stock and bar rel" unless the Chinese Govern ment gets effective help at once. Chinese Grateful The Ambassador said China is grateful for the aid already ex tended it and has been "doing its best to carry out every obligation which has devolved upon it. Jn a statement issued through his office here, Bridges urged that Congress be called back immed iately. The Senator himself was In Des Moines to make a speech. At Key West, Fla., where Presi dent Truman is vacationing, as sistant press secretary Eben Ayers said the White House had no com ment on Bridges' proposal. 8 till In Existence Technically, the 80th Congress is still in existence, and still domi nated by republicans. Terms of the adjournment resolution it adopted last August 7 reserved to the republican leaders of the House and Senate the right to bring Congress back at any time, without necessarily a call by the President. There was no indication that Bridges had approached those leaders to exercise their power. House Speaker Martin left this morning for Massachusetts, his of fice reported.
