Ac the same time a direct move to have Russia end thP cnnf'urt was announced by ihe State Df partment late today. The department said S. Am- bassador Alan G. Kirk delivered a note to the Soviet Foreign Office Moscow. asKmg Kussia to use Moscow, asking influence for the withdrawal of she invading forces and the cessation of hostilities." Backed by Congress Congress appeared almost solidly united behind the President.

His announcement, creatine a U. S. foreign policy, served grim notice on the Kremlin to leash the armed forces of world communism or reckon with American firepower. Perhaps for ihe first time since the end of World War II hostilities, in speaking of Communist aims, the President used the unadorned word "war." He said communism has passed beyond the ue of subversive tactics to "armed invasion and war." The bis question of Russia's reaction remained a tight-locked se cret in the Kremlin. American d.p- lomatic officials still hoped the Soviets would refrain thai from openly joining in the Korean strug- gle and permit, the fighting to end without the threat of a World War III explosion.
