Several house members from both parties opened up on the 'critical Korean situation Friday. In the senate, Democrats and Republicans were lining up batteries of speakers for next week's resumption of their argument over international issues. Representatives Sikes Fla.) told the house that General MacArthur's divisions ought to be re-enforced or "we should get our men out of Korea."

WASHINGTON, D. There were strong signs today that the senate may receive a substitute for the defense department plan to lower the minimum draft age from 19 to IS years. Although the department has not yet finished its arguments before a senate preparedness subcommittee.

Majority Leader McFarland Ariz.) said there already is talk of a compromise. Public testimony on the issue was suspended over the weekend to allow Anna M.

In Bismarck, N. the North Dakota senate Friday passed a resolution urging withdrawal of the troops. The resolution was directed to congress and the President.

Mr. Truman has indicated that United Nations forces will not be withdrawn and Mac Arthur has been told he cannot expect any American re-inforce' ments. Representative Poulson Calif.) told his colleagues that American troops had been turned over to a "debating SO' ciety in putting them under the United Nations banner. "If an atom bomb is dropped on us, I assume the U.N. will have to debate two months whether we should retaliate," he said sarcastically.

Representative Poage Texas) offered a bill which would permit other nations, including Germans and Japanese, to enlist in the American army. Senator Knowland who wants Nationalist Chinese troops in Formosa to be used in the Korean fighting, denounced a proposed United Nations peace plan calling for a cease-fire followed by talks with Red China on Far Eastern issues, including the fate of Formosa. Senator Taft branded the cease-fire order as "complete appeasement." Taft said that as far as he is concerned he would much rather see withdrawal of American troops from Korea than acceptance of the cease-fire proposal. Knowland predicted that the peace plan, which has official United States support, could only end in delivering Formosa to the Reds. "The United Nations have not had sufficient forces adequately to meet the Korean situation," Knowland said.

"Thev would hardly have enough forces to take care of Formosa." Knowland made public a tele gram from former President Hoover claiming nearly three-to-one newspaper editorial support for Hoover recent proposal to erect a "Gibraltar of defense" in the Western hemisphere and deny western Europe any military help until it had built a "sure dam" against Communist aggression. Hoover said a sample survey covered a daily newspaper circulation of 46,228,000 of which 68 per cent supported his speech, 8 per cent approved part of it and 24 per cent opposed it.

THE FIRST REAL SIGN THAT THE UNITED STATES government really believes the Russians are preparing to march in Europe will be the evacuation of some 55,000 American civilians from West Germany. Meanwhile the state department in Washington is considering reorganizing its upper hierarchy in order to deal with far eastern and Russian affairs on a more expert basis. The department had not had a top-string Russian expert at its disposal since George Kennan left to go to Princeton.

PAUL CHORAL CLUB J. M.Tonnefti, Director EINER EKBERG EINER WAERMO Geo. W. Wihon, Director MINNEAPOLIS AUDITORIUM IPS Meeting of World Chief Proposed LONDON, ENGLAND (U.B Commonwealth prime ministers sought today to arrange face-to-face peace talks among President Truman, Soviet Premier Josef Stalin, Red China's Mao Tze-tung and other world leaders. They wound up their nine-day conference here Friday night with a call "in the name of common humanity" for meetings between western leaders and the chiefs of state of the two biggest Communist nations.

The prime ministers' declaration did not specify who might represent the west in the proposed conference. But western representatives obviously would include President Truman, Clement Attlee, British prime minister, and probably French Premier Rene Pleven. The prime ministers' declaration said the commonwealth would welcome a "frank exchange" with Stalin and Mao in an attempt to settle the vast complex of problems which threaten the world with atomic war. But it advanced the proposal only as a "suggestion" not a formal recommendation because the commonwealth countries were acting as individual nations. Informed sources believed India would make preliminary overtures to China's Mao and Canada would approach the United States.

The commonwealth ministers also urged: A SPEEDUP in German and Japanese settlements. RAISING of living standards of the millions who live in poverty in the backyards of the world. Fleet to Act If Reds Move TAIPEI, FORMOSA (UP) Admiral H. B. Jarrett, senior American naval attache, said today that if the Chinese Communists attempt to use the small craft they are massing on the mainland to invade Formosa, the Seventh fleet immediately will "go into action." Jarrett agreed with Rear Rear Adm.

Thomas H. Binford, who said at the Pentagon in Washington Friday that the Formosan situation was "like sitting on a powder keg." Bin-ford was formerly commander of the Formosa strait patrol force. Jarrett said he did not believe the Chinese Reds will make an attempt to land on the island stronghold of the Chinese Nationalists just yet. He said before the Communists attempt a general invasion, the Korean situation will have to be resolved much more in their favor. Also, the Nationalists still hold island outposts off the mainland which will have to be "neutralized." that the coloring is light wine instead of white.

These are the latest reports Use Rage, as Trial Ends AUGSBURG, GERMANY UP) Use Koch shrieked and raged "like a madwoman" in another hysterical fit Friday night after her trial on alleged concentration camp cruelties and incitement to murder ended.

The latest seizure came in her cell at Augsburg prison. Mrs. Koch, widow of a former commander of Buchenwald concentration camp, was transferred late at night to the women's prison at Aichach, Germany. There she was examined by prison doctors. The German court said it would announce the verdict Monday.

Life imprisonment was demanded by the prosecution against the red-haired, plump defendant. The defense attorney pleaded for acquittal on the contention that her conviction and sentence by an American war crimes tribunal has been punishment enough. The American court imposed a life sentence on the "Red Witch of Buchenwald" for crimes against allied prisoners there, but her sentence was later commuted to four years. She was then put on trial by the Germans. H.

Lyons in juvenile court Friday for contributing to the delinquency of a 16-year-old girl. to be received here. The meeting between the French and Italian premiers and foreign ministers now scheduled for the Italian Riviera around Jan. 20 is seen to be closely connected with these papal decisions. Both the French foreign minister, Robert Schuman and the Italian premier, Alcide de Gas-peri are Catholics.

So, incidentally, is western Germany's chancellor, Konrad Adenauer. Many observers here figure the pope is trying to influence Adenauer against rearmament of western Germany and toward the transformation of Germany into a neutral territory. Adenauer's connections with the pope are all the closer be cause they are carefully hidden from the German politicians and observers. At regular intervals Adenauer "feels tired" and goes for a "rest" to Switzerland's little Italian canton of Tessin. His host there is a priest highly esteemed in Vatican circles.

If the pope is advising Adenauer to postpone rearmanent of his country and agree to negotiations with the Communists of East Germany, whatever John McCIoy, American high commissioner in Germany, may tell Adenauer will have little effect in comparison. Recent visitors to the Vatican have come away with the impression that the pope favors some sort of neutralization of Germany and also that he definitely favors a meeting of the council of foreign ministers in the not too distant future. The pope has made it clear that he would be pleased to see Gen. Eisenhower when he visits Rome the end of this month. But it also appears likely that the papal diplomats have been instructed to ask the governments of all Catholic countries to which they are assigned for a four-power conference.

The Vatican newspaper lately has dropped most of its violence when talking about Russia. The pope may be advising a truce with Russia but he is still warning against atheism. It is doubtful that Vatican influence had anything to do with the recent French roundup of Communist state employes. The interior minister who has charge of France's public secur ity is the old Radical Socialist (conservative), Henry Queuille, who has no particular liking for priests. Mt.
