A numbec. of other states are consulting with Gen.- Douglas MacArthur's UN command through Washing ton, the U. S. mission to the UN, or American embassies abroad. It was believed that movements of the UN force will be kept top secret until the allied troops have landed on the Korean peninsula. No Confirmation Neither U. S. nor UN sources could confirm officially that a UN AEF was forming. But it was known that exhaustive con sultations were going on in con nection with problems of trans portation, supply and standard ization of arms. u. . sources said only mat the American government was "encouraged by the initial re- . spouse to Lie s appeal for more aid and that it was expected that more states would be heard from. So far, however, only two coun triesNicaragua and Thailand have made any definite offer of foot soldiers since Lie sent his appeal for aid to 50 no-commu nist nations. Under the projected plan, the U. S. presumably would be called on to equip troops from other countries so that standard am munition could be used.
