American combat units are being made ready to move to the Far East in the "neair future.”

These devopments followed swift- ly upon Saturday's action by President Truman in naming Gen. Douglas MacArthur to the unprec- edented post of supreme command- er for United Nations forces fight- ing against the Communists in Kcrea. The general was directed

to fly.the blue-and-white U. N. flag. Warnings to prepare for over-

seas by mid-day Sunday had been issued to the 2nd Infantry Divis- ion and to anti-aircraft units from the Fourth and Sixth Armies. whose headquarters are respective- ly near Houston. Tax.. and at San

were units of unidentified nature from the second army alrea. Balti- more. and the third army area. near Atlanta. On.

The lat Marine Division, with its aviation outfit. is waiting to sail from the west coast.

The Defence Department, for sec- urity reasons. declined to say precisely where in the Far East these units will land.

Despite growing indications that the armed forces are tapping their regular units within the United states to hurry help to the Kor- ean defenders. the Defence De- partment still is relying on volun- teers to boost its nanpower.

It holds in abeyance. the power President Truman gave it last Friday to draft men if necessary. How soon it uses that power de- pends upon how fast reservists and new recruits heed the urgent in- vitation of the armed forces to don uniforms.

LONDON. July 9- (Reuters) .. The unofficial "Anglo-French Com. mittee For The Study Of Europ- ean Questions” Saturday night urged the Western Powers to pre- pare an atom bomb and bacteriol- ogical warfare offensive capable of laying Russia waste in a few hours should Russia attack any of the Atlantic powers.

The committee's report said Western Europe can not hope to match Russian manpower and must anticipate "the danger of an atomic Pearl Harbor."

The report opposes the outlaw- ing of atomic and bacteriological weapons. It says nothing but fear of these weapons will deter a would-bc aggressor from making war.

Committee members include Paul Reynatid. former French premier; Socialist leader Maurice Schuman of France: Rene Cassinn. vice- chairman of the United Nations Human Rights Commission. and Paul Claudel. a former French Ambassador to the United States.

Britons on the committee are is civil aviation expert. Lord Braba- zon: Lord Vansittart. a strongly anti-Communist 5)eer: and Air Vice-Marshal Donald Bennett. R A. F. Pathfinder chief during the Second World War.

The committee says its "total war" proposal was based on a theory of the great French bacter- iologist. Louis Pasteur, that "war

Boy Rescued From" Drowning Al Georgetown

A near tragedy was averted on Friday afternoon at about 4.15 p. m.. by quick thinking and action. Master Dennis Martell. five-yea.r- old son of Mr. and Mrs. William S. Martell. accldently fell off his father's wharf when he wandered out of sight of his parents for a few minutes. The little lad evident- ly swallowed a large quantity of water. as when discovered by his searching parents. he was seen to be lying on the bottom.

Neither pafent could swim but their cries brought a number of young men quickly to the scene and Harold Mncl.ean dived in and brought the little lad to the sur- face. Arthur Macswalii skillfully applied artificial respiration and succeeded in bringing the boy back to consciousness. He was then re- lieved by Cullen DeLorY-

The boy was moved to a near-by house and Dr. Kennedy was called Later on Friday evening the little lad had recovered sufficiently ism his experience to be moved to II home in near-by Burnt Point.
