Need FEF Ground Forces

By A. E. Goldberg

LAKE SUCCESS. July 14-(AP) -The United Nations appealed to- day to 52 member countries to rush effective aid, particularly ground fighting forces. to a U. N. army trying to stop the North Korean Communist invaders.

Secretary-G-enoral Trygve Lie announced the step at a. press conference. his first since the out- break of the hostilities which he again called a "well-prepared. well- planned aggression" against the Republic of south Korea.

Lie said telegrams were sent to every country that supported the Security Council action authoriz- ing a collective army to throw the North Korean invaders back of the 38th parallel. The aid provid- ed. he said. "should be effective forces, not token forces."

The action was decided. he said, at an informal meeting he called last Monday, attended by represent- MT

OTTAWA, July 14-(CP)- Fast Government consideration

was promised today for a Unit- ed Nations appeal for more

Korean aid.

But the nature of the call upon Canada was not known here several hours after U. N. Secretaary-General Trygve Lie had announced at Lake Success he was appealing urgently to 52 nations for more combat forces. particularly ground troops.

fairs said late in the day the

Government had not yet re-

ceived the message from Mr

ives of the United states delegat- ion. Security Council President Alrne Sundc of Norway and him- self and his executive assistant Andrew Cordier. ,

Soviets Not Included

The Soviet bloc and Yugoslavia, which opposed armed resistance to the North Kcrean communists. were not included.

A special request was made to the Nationalist Chinese Govern- ment in Formosa, whose previous offer of land troops has been turned down by the unified U. S.- U. N. command. It advised the Chinese Nationalists that if they want to offer troops again they may do so, but what their offer would be considered only for bli- ateral discussion of what specific, detailed use might be made of them.

Rejection of the original Chin- ese offer was on the basis of keep- ing the Korean war localized

Lie refused to comment on whether a "no-surrender" policy should be a condition to restoring peace in Korea. He would not comment on whether he favored use of the atom bomb. "There has been too much partisan propaganda on the issue." he said. '

To statements that it may take three to six months to and the Korean conflict, he answered: "I am not a military expert. I can only express the hope it won't take that long.”

Quick replies from both sides in the fighting heartened him that there would be a curb on atrocities. Lie said. Now he hoped that In- ternational Red Cross observers would be permitted in the North to see that the pledge was carried out.

QUEBEC. July if -- (CP) --The powerful salvage vessel Traverse will arrive here "late tomorrow” to attempt the refloating of the 20.- 000-ton liner Franconia, which went aground Wednesday night off the western tip of the Isle of Or- leans with 850 passengers aboard.

The Traverse, owned by the Foundation Maritime Corporation. provided the one hope of success- fully pulling the Franconia from the craggy bottom it climbed Wed- nesday night. as vacationlsts watch- ed from hotel versndas.

The Signals Service of the De- partment of Transport made the announcement of the 'rraverse's arrival time.

Tonight, tugs had moved 1.200 tons of cargo from the scunard Donaldson Line vessel, thus mak- ing it that much lighter for asi- vnge operations.

However, weight is not the only factor that will be considered by engineers who will have the com- plicated job of moving the ship.

Divers Examine ship

Divers are examining the ship's underside and will make a report on the damage and on the type of obstacles the vessel will encounter when it is decided to try and pull it off the shore.

In a statement. Cunard said no re-floating attempt -would be made until the salvage vessel arrives. The company described the dam- age as extensive but no estimate was announced.

Meanwhile the big vessel. sitting in full view of several st. Lawrence shore tovms, continues to rock slowly as tides go in and out. Aboard the vessel and due to re- main there untli ft is re-floated is River Pilot Edmond Lamontagne who was at the helm when the ship ran aground.

TOKYO, July 15-(safanh) - (AP) - Gen. MacA.rthur'a communique said North Ko- rean troops today planted :- brldgoiaead on the south bank

of the Kum River but that an our-uer crossing was "thrown back with heavy losses."

TOKYQ July l5-(Sat1srday)-- (CP)-North Korean troops in undisclosed force today crossed the Klan: River line in the centre of the United States positions. in- fantry fighting now is in progress. This was reported in a dispatch from United States advanced head- qnartora. which said American jet and Mustang fighters already had begun strikes against the Red bridgehead.

(The .fact that fighters are at- tacking the bridgehead indicates that the south bank holdings are fairly extensive. The location of the crossing was not given.)

The American defenders likewise were harassed by guerrillas who were attacking in the rear of this vital line within 20 miles of Tac- jon. the provisional capital of South Korea.

The Chinese Communist radio said guerrillas also were attack-- ing in the sangju and Ulsong areas, 40 to' '10 miles respectively east of Taejon. This is the sector where the northcmers are threatening U. S. supply lines from the southeast port of Pusan.

The first attack against the American positions on the south bank came late yesterday. Field dispatches said an estimated 100 North Koreans crossed west of Taejon d-zs;x'te a heavy. bombard- ment by U. S. artillery and war- planes.

Gen. MacArthur's communique earl dodgy simply said establish- iffen or an enemy bridgehead on the south bank had not been con- firmed.

It said the Americans were de-' fending the river line against sup- erior forces. Communist patrols were acknowledged to be probing the American positions "in a num- ber of places along the river."

Field dispatches said the river. last natural defence before Taejon. was first reported crossed by the small Red force west of Kongju. on the American west flank. Kongju is about 20 miles northwest of Tac-

jon. south Korean Provisional capital.
