Truman Lists Plans for Korea Washington, July 13 (IP) Pre sident Truman said today he is considering mo b 1 1 1 z i n g more men and money behind the Ko rean war effort. He declared he will take any steps necessary to bring It to a successful conclu sion. In a mood of confidence and determination, Mr. Truman told a news conference the United States will hold on in Korea. He said we never have had the tar licked out of us and It won't happen this time. Under questioning, the presi dent said that among things re lating to the Korean emergency under consideration for proper action at the proper time are these: Calling in reserves, specialists and the National Guard. Asking congress for more mo ney for military purposes in the near future. Mobilization of manpower In general. Reports both to the people and to congress on the Korean situ ation. Mr. Truman said he hasn't changed the opinion he express ed last week that conditions in Korea are hopeful. "Are they anything more than hopeful?" a reporter asked. The newsman added that queries are coming all the time as to what reassurances can be given that we are not getting the tar licked out of us. It's never happened to us, Mr. Truman replied emphatically, and it won't happen this time. He went on to say that we'll be able to retain a foothold In Korea, one as far north as the 38th parallel. Asked whether that meant there would be no "police ac tlon" north of that line, Mr. Tru man said that decision would be made when It becomes necessary, The president says he still calls the American fighting in Korea a police action.

P I X Woodburn, Oregon Thnrs., Frl., Sat, THE OUTRIDERS" In Color, Plus "Johnny Stool Pigeon" New Aquatic to '50 Show Frolics of 1950 which will take No Food Lack, Says President Washington, July 13 VP) President Truman today said the government has under consider ation plans for every phase of home-front mobilization but will use them only if necessary. Mr. Truman told his news con ference: No food rationing will become necessary; No food shortage is in pros pect; and hoarding is very fool ish. Mr. Truman said the sharp in crease in many food prices must be attributed to profiteering. He implied he has no imme diate plans to call on congress for emergency powers dealing with price, wage or allocation controls or with the conversion of civilian industry to war pro duction. All matters relating to the emergency are under considera tion, he said, and at the appro priate time steps will be taken if they are necessary. Earlier Senator Maybank (D. S. C.) had said that if the world situation is "as black as it's being painted," the government soon might be forced to slap drastic controls on the civilian economy. Maybank is chairman of the senate banking committee, which would have the job of studying at least part of any control legis lation which President Truman might ask. Some well-placed officials have reported growing pressure on the administration to seek at least limited controls on indus try to help arm the country for the fighting in Korea. Officials in a position to know said no specific control plan has yet reached President Truman and there has been no decision on seeking emergency powers from congress.
