Aid Move r- w er-i j . 7 . l C ongress Backs Soviet Action Answer ' In War Gamble By John M. Hlf-tower (Stories also on page 1) WASHINGTON, June 27 '-Wh President Truman took a carefully calculated risk of war with Russia In ordering American air and sea forces to support south Korea against the invading communists. The policy he laid down, furth ermore, ppeari to have a much wld'ir application than to Korea alone. There are many countries to which the United States has commitments at least equally strong. Among them are Iran and Turkey in the middle east and In- i 11.-.. i .1. I AAt- aocnina in iuuuicosi nau, ui tion to the firm defensive alliance with the nations of western Eur ope. The risk of was was one of the factors considered in state depart ment conferences on the radically new far eastern policy. It also was considered in conferences Mr. Tru man had with Secretary of State Achesdn, Secretary of Defense Johnson and other top officials, who Joined In making the final decision. No Clash Expected On the basis of all available in formation, it was learned today, the president'! advisors and the chief executive himself estimated that Russia probably would re frain from any act leading to an open and direct clash with the United States. But they also frankly recognized that a danger of war exists and that the estimate of Russian policy could be wrong. The question raised Is one which only the krem . lin can answer and its actions of the next few days will tell the story. , Against the war danger, the president and his advisor! bal anced other factors In favor of ac inn Prhans the most imoortant of these was their belief that kremlin-directed communists, by marching into south .Korea, have rhallonffed th defenesive detr- mination and will-to-resist of non- communist countries all over the world. 4 4 Wat of TT. N. Pi-entlre In addition, the prestige o! the United Nations was put to an un precedented test by the refusal of th north Koreans to cease fire and withdrawb'ehind the 38th parallel. The power and prestige of the United States as the leader of the WMtM-n hloe were directly ieo- Turrthnl. in the official view, bv an attack on a country for which this nation stands sponsor. From the outset officials here hfi regarded the communist ac tion In Korea as in part a kremlin probing operation along the vast 'frftn' urMVi mm srnitnr) Asia. the Middle East and the iron cur tain line In Europe; and in part an effort to knock off south Korea before it got too strong. It seems possible that insofar as they approved the operation and authorities here assume Mos cow did approve or even directed It the Russians made a gross mis calculation of American reaction. There had been nothing specific r to this time to indicate that the United States would do much more than make strong protests. Furniture Factory lUttunaa Ntws lervlca:.
