DHtmer (United Preaa Staff Correspondent) Washington, July 25 IP Pres ident Truman and the two top members of his cabinet were on record today with strong warn ings that it may be necessary to "'"caae Aiueucus llliiumy man power regardless of what hap pens In Korea. Here Is the picture as they out lined It: 1. President Truman, in his mid year economic report to con gress, said the size of the armed forces may have to be increased beyond the present goal of 3,500. "0. The manpower act now au thorizes the armed forces to go up to 5,000,000, but the present goal Is 3,500,000. 2. Defense Secretary George C. Marshall told a news conference that there have been some discus- oivua ui xne necessny 01 incino Jng the size of the armed forces. He said a decision would not be made until October, when discus 's slons will open on the budget for the fiscal year beginning on July at a banquet in the Pilot Butte inn's Blue room that marked the conclusion of the 1951 con- vention of the National Um versity Extension association in Bend.

Unprepared ; "Suppose that large-scale war does come," Dr. Stoke said, add-, ingv "Suppose, again, that the United States and her allies won such a . war. Inescapably there would be a form of world govern ment with the United States as the dominant power. I submit that as a nation we are now completely unprepared psychologically and politically for any such responsi bility. We want none of it, yet the responsibility for 'keeping the peace of the world would by vir tue of military victory be firmly saddled upon the United States."

S. attorney "In an hour or'two." , The indictments grew out of appearances by the three men before trie senate crime investi gating committee here last March.
