"I was convinced then, and I am convinced now. that to have ignor ed the appeal of Korea for aid, to have stood aside from the assault upon the charter, would' have meant the end ofjhe. united Na tions as a shield . against aggres sion," Mr. Truman said. "It might have meant the end of any possi bility that collective security could be made to work." - He said also that in Korea thou sands of men have sacrificed their lives to the end that millions may not lose their - lives in a world war." There Is much to Indicate that the resolute -resistance of United Nations troops has given pause to those aggressive forces which cold blooded ly brought the tragedy, to Korea," the president added. ; Mishap Mars Driver's Test A driver taking his examination for an operators license collided with another car at Mill and High streets Thursday, .city police re- porteo. - -v.

July 26 -ffV- Secretary of State Acheson set before congress today a vast global aid program costing 25,000,000,000 for the defense of U. S. allies in the next three years. That is the price, he said, to counter Soviet Russia's designs and bring about an era of genu ine relaxation of tension. Acheson said Spain wiU get a share of the money he did not say how much but he declared that "considerable time must elaDse" before Spain could be ad mitted into the North Atlantic treaty alliance. Only First Installment Testifying before the senate for eign relations committee, Acheson' disclosed that the administration's current request for $8,500,000,000 in foreign aid is only the first in stallment in a proposed long-range program. . . Two more instailmetns or aDoux the same size will be needed, he said, to equip this country's allies in Europe and Asia.

He said lt might be necessary to con tinue after that with some main tenance : help, but the amount would be comparatively small. Prior to the outbreak of the Ko rean war, administration leaders had said that the nation's foreign aid programs notably the Mar shall plan would taper off sharp ly in 1952. Acheson appeared as the lead- off witness in supporting ihe ad ministration's bid for $8,250,000,- uuo in foreign military aid and $2, 250,000,000 In economic aid.
