United Nations
Forces to Fight
In Korea, Report
By Bruce W. Munn
(United Prcu Staff Corrnpontlent)
Lake Success, N. Y., July 21 P
The United Nations is secretly
resulting a large expeditionary
force from 15 to 25 nations to
fight beside American GI's in
Korea, informed sources indicat
ed today. . . (
' This allied force, was ln the
making despite an almost total
lack of public response by mem
ber nations to Secretary-general
Trygve lie's appeal for ground
forces to join U. S. units at the
front.
Eight or nine countries active
ly interested In sending troops
to the UN's AEF already arc ,
.consulting with Lie. 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.

Ready for Call

In the event ll Is called Into fed

E. Rlloa, adjutant general of Ore
gon, said today. The ONG was
part of the lamed 4lst division
that fought In the Pacific .in
world war II.
Gen. R I Ion, who has been in
constant touch with the national
capital, said the Oregon national
guard had not yet received word
to report for federal service.
But he expressed the opinion
that, unless things change rapid
ly In Korea, all national guard
troops would receive the call to
federal service before Ihe year
is over. He said:
"If the supplemental budget Is
passed, it Is my opinion that you
will find the national guard in
creased to 100 per cent officer
strength and 50 per cent enlisted
strengtn.
Gen. Rllea said that with the
passing of the supplemental bud
get, national guard drills would
be doubled. They now total 48
drills a year.
Gen. Rllea also said he looked
for stepped-up field training for
national guardsmen and said they
might be civen another week of
field training soon, with the train
ing probably at home stations. ,
