Goldberg LAKE SUCCESS, July 14-PV- The United Nations appealed today to 52 member countries to rush ef fective aid, particularly ground fighting forces, to a U-N. army try ing to stop the North Korean com munist invaders. Secretary-General Trygve Lie announced the step at a somber news conference, his first since the outbreak of the hostilities which he again called a "well-prepared, well-planned aggression" against the Republic of South Korea. Lie said telegrams were sent to every nation that supported the security council action authoriz ing a collective army to throw the North Korean invaders back of the 38th parallel. The aid provided, he said, "should be effective forces. not token forces. The action was decided, he said, at an informal meeting he called last Monday, attended by repres entatives of the United States del egation. Security Council President Arne Sunde of Norway and him self and his executive assistant. Andrew cordier. ' The Soviet bloc and Yugoslavia, which opposed armed resistance to the North Korean communists, were not included in the newest bid for help to the retreating forces under the command of Gen. Doug las MacArthur. The invitation did not go, of course, to the United States, which has furnished the bulk of the UN. resistance. A special request was made to the Nationalist Chinese govern ment in Formosa, whose previous oner of land troops has been turn ed down by the unified U-S.-U.N. command. It advised the Chinese Nationalists that if they want to offer troops agam they may do so, but that their offer would be con sidered only for bilateral discus sion with MacArthur on what specific, detailed use might be made of them. Rejection of the original Chinese offer was that if the Chinese Na tionalists put ground forces into Korea, Chinese communist forces would find it an excuse to flood into Korea to help the North Kor ean communists. A UN information officer saidl later that several telegrams omit ted any request for fiEhtinsf men and indicated the UN did not ex-i pect alt nations to come ud with si fighting force. The UN, he said, takes the position that "effective help" may include other things man ngnung men. He would not specify them, however. .gypt was asked specifically to provide ground troops.
