Bevin Backs
American Aim;
Warns Soviet
NEW YORK, Sept 28 -VFh
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin
of Britain Monday endorsed the
aim of American proposals for
strengthening the U.N. against
aggression. He also told the Rus
sians that Britons are. ready to
fight to the end for their liberties.
Bevin was the first of the west
ern big power delegates to stamp
general approval on the ideas ol
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
for bolstering the U. N. He said
he is in full agreement with Ache
son's objectives but indicated his
delegation might make what Bev
in called constructive ' criticisms
at the proper time.
Nationalist China, the Philip
pines, Bolivia and Turkey also ex
pressed supporit of the American
proposals, which call for a U. N.
military force, a roving peace
patrol, and means for convening
the general assembly In 24-hours
if the security council cannot act.
Before the ; British diplomat
spoke Foreign Minister Edvard
Kardelj of Yugoslavia asked for
the temporary re-establishment of
the 38th parallel as the demarca
tion line in Korea.
Members of Kardelj's delega
tion explained that he wants the
fighting to stop and the Koreans
to decide about their unification.
The Yugoslav ' delegate intro
duced two resolutions. One would
set' up a permanent mediation
commission of small powers. The
other requires a nation Involved
in armed conflict to issue a cease
fire, within 24 hours and withdraw
its armed forces from disputed
territory. Failure to do so auto-
maucaly would brand the country
as an aggressor.
- - Some delegates have comment
ed that the United Nations forces
have authority from the security
council to drive the communist
North. Koreans back as far as the
38th parallel.
While the general debate in the
assembly continued, delegates
speculated whether the Russians
are tossing up another peace bal
loon. Considerable interest was
shown by the delegations in
question and answer exchange in
Manhattan between Soviet Depu-
ty Foreign Minister Jacob A. Ma
lik and a delegation of the Mary
land Committee for Peace, from
Baltimore.
'For Home Entertaining, Ifs

Inouiry of Use
Of Manpower
WASHINGTON, Sept 28-UP-A
sweeping investigation of the
army s use of manpower, its needs
in that field and how it intends t
fill them, was announced today by
the house armed services commit
tee. -..
The hearings will cover every
angle of the subject from the rea
sons why so many draftees are be
ing rejected to estimates on the
number of American troops who
may-have to help guard Europe
against communist aggression.
Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) an
nounced the inquiry and gave out
a whole catalogue ox questions sub
mitted to the army for answers.
Similar check-ups for the navy and
air force are probable later.
Some of the answers Vinson
wants came out about the time of
his announcement.
CoL Daniel O. Omer, general
counsel of selective service, said all
the manpower needs now in sight
can be met from the present 19
through 25 age group if some of
the rules are relaxed.
He said it would take drafting
of childless married men and vet
erans of World War II, and taking
4-jrs lor military duties in wmcn
their disabilities would not inter
fere, to build up and maintain a
3,000,000 - man army within those
age limits.
