China's Reds,
India Discuss
War Situation
Assembly To Get
Issue Next Week
NEW YORK - (P) - India's
Sir Benegal N. Rau met yesterday
with Red China's representative
in the first attempt here at con-
ciliation of the Korean crisis.
He said later he still hopes for
a solution.
"It was my impression that they
too would like a peaceful settle-
ment," Sir Benegal said to news-
men after a conversation of al-
most an hour with Wu Hsiu--
Chuan, Chinese Communist repre-
sentative to the United Nations.
"It is that which makes me hope-
ful."
RAU SAID he hopes to see Wu
again before Monday. It was in-
dicated that they talked only on
' preliminaries and did not get
down to brass tacks.
Wu also talked with Secre-
tary-General Trygve Le-for an
hour and a half in the new UN
building in Manlattan. Lie's
spokesman said they discussed
general matters and Lie showed
Wu the New York City skyline.,
UN delegates at the same time
spoke gravely of Gen. Douglas
MacArthur's coment that his
lack of authority to hit the Chi-
nese Communists across the Man-
churian border from Korea is "an
enormous handicap, without pre-
cedent in military operations."
No one here would comment pub-
licly except T. F. Tsiang of Na-
tionalist China, who said he
agreedifully with MacArthur.
THE UN GENERAL Assembly is
expected to start on the Red-
China Korean crisis early next
week after the West decides what
resolution it wants to offer. ,
The President of the Assembly,
Nasrollah Entezam, appealed yes-
terday to world leaders to keep
clear heads in the Korean crisis
and not be "blinded either by
hatred or fear. He told the As-
sembly it must consider the prob-
lem because the Security Council
was stymied by a Russian veto.

McGuire, '53A, will be arraigned
at 9 a.m. today in Circuit Court
before Judge James R. Breakey,
Jr.
The two were arrested Tuesday
< by Ann Arbor police on a charge
of registering bets. The authori-
ties said that Setomer and Mc-
Guire were the heads of student
run football pools on campus
which were exposed in a series of
Daily articles.

IT STILL was not known yes-
terday what the students would
plead.
There are three possibilities
open to them, Assistant County
Prosecutor Edmund Devine ex-
plained: They may plead guilty,
not guilty or nolo contendere.
The third means that they won't
plead guilty, but neither will
they contest the case.
Devine would not comment on
an informed source's report that
the two would plea Aolo con-
tendere.
LOUIS BURKE, Ann Arbor at-
torney who is representing Mc-
Guire-and Setomer, also would not
say anything definite. in regard
to their pleas. "I haven't talked
to those fellows yet," he said. "I
talked to them a bit when they
were arraigned. I expect I'll see
them first thing in the morning,"
he declared.
Whatever the plea, Devine ex-
plained that the case would not

ported yesterday.
Substantial progress was said

This, in turn, would clear the way

War Threat
Forces Call
For 18 Billion
Army Issues Call
For 50 Thousand
WASHINGTON -- (A) - Presi-
dent Truman asked Congress yes-
terday for a vast new outlay of
$17,850,000,000 to build for vic-
tory in Korea and prepare for pos-
sible attack "in other parts of the
world."
At the same time the Army step-
ped up its draft call and the Navy
and Air Force lowered their stan-
dards for volunteers to speed ex-
pansion toward the military man-
power goal of 2,800,00 set by Pres-
ident Truman.
The President said the armed
forces now have a strength of
more than 2,225,000, and he told
the lawmakers, "Our goal, until
this most recent act of aggression,
has been a strength of 2,800,000
by the end of the current fiscal
year. Now we face the necessity of
having to raise our sights."
In his message to Congress,
the President branded the Chi-
nese Communist assault in Ko-
rea as "naked, deliberate and
unprovoked" aggression, but he
declared that whatever happens
"we shall not falter or turn
back."
The President went over the sit-
uation in a tense, h ur-long meet-
ing with congressional, military
and diplomatic leaders at the
White House. At noon, he sent a
message to Capitol Hill urging the
lawmakers to act with the "ut-
most speed" in providing $16,800,-
000,000 for swift expansion of the
Army, Navy and Air Force.
HE ALSO asked $1,050,000,000
to speed the atomic energy pro-
gram for production of A-bombs
and development of the hydrogen
bomb.

'TOP Civilian
Defense Post
WASHINGTON-P)-President
Truman yesterday set up a Fed-
eral Civilian Defense Administra-
tion and named a former governor,
Millard F. Caldwell Jr., of Florida,
to head it.
Caldwell's appointment to the
$17,500-a-year post, effective at
once, was announced after he call-
ed on the President.
* * 4,
PENDING IN Congress is new
legislation creating such an agency
and the post of administrator with
vast powers to guide the nation
into a state of readiness to meet
any enemy attack.
However, the President put
Caldwell to work by executive
order. His salary is to be paid
out of the President's emergency'
fund pending congressional ac-
tion.
Employes at work on civilian
defense planning under the Na-
tional Security Resources Board
will shift over-to Caldwell's com-
mand.
The appointment does not -re-
quire Senate sanction until legis-
lation is enacted covering it.
Caldwell, 53 years old, was gov-
ernor from 1945 to 1949 and now
practices law at Tallahassee. He
told reporters he would fly home
tonight and return here Tuesday
or Wednesday. He called the new
assignment "a tremendous job."
Caldwell was given authority to
appoint a $16,000 a year deputy
administrator. The new adminis-
trator will be instructed to pre-
pare "comprehensive federal plans,
and programs" for the Civil De-
Uncovered
PALOS VERDES ESTATES,
Calif .-()-A late-and pro-
per-Bostonian millionaire was
revealed yesterday as one of
the world's great collectors of
nude paintings, as his $750,000
hideaway here was sold to a
church for a reported $60,000.
The three and one-half acre
ocean front estate in this Los
Angeles suburb belonged to the
late Harvey C. Wheeler.
In his estate were found hun-
dreds of paintings of beautiful
nude women, some hung on thej
walls of the 18 room mansion.
But most were stacked in their
frames, like surplus furniture.

LONDON-(A')-Prime Minister
Attlee will urge President Truman
in their talks next week to avoid
war with Red China at all costs,
British informants said yesterday.
Attlee will confer with French
Premier Rene Pleven here and may
take with him the support of the
Paris government for a moderate
Western policy in Korea.
* s
ASSOCIATES pictured Attlee as
believing firmly that avoidance of
war with Communist China is the
only way to keep Western unity.
Attlee will leave tomorrow,
spend Monday conferring with
British officials in Washington,
and see President Truman Tues-
day.
Attlee probably will speak on be-
half of most commonwealth gov-
ernments as well as his own.
He is expected to insist that
possible use of the atom bomb
against the Chinese is a ques-
tion which the United Nations,
not the United States alone must
decide.
The Attlee-Truman talks, how-
ever, will probably go well beyond
the atom bomb issue.

group discussed how to improve

of allowing. women students es-

this approval of many campus or-

brought up before the Union

This group decided to test

precedent in military history."
MacArthur called the situation

the world still can throw into the
fight.
He said it wouldn't be appropri-
