The Americans statement is expected to give in full the reasons his government has decided to go along with the plan. -The fact that tne western powers signified they were reaay to give uiiormatlon on their armed forces was hailed here as an important departure from the pre-wai top-secret aays.

unaer tne French proposal, ap proved by the working committee members of ths united nations would submit to a U. N. organization full information on their order of battle the number of troops on their rolls, locations of troops, a list of arms and all Information pertaining to the size of tneir armed forces and armaments In the past such Information has been among the most closely-guarded sec rets of a nation.

A full-scale effort is afoot to create a new pattern for Amerlcar diplomacy In the Far East. Acheson's No.

1 trouble-shooter and international negotiator, Ambassador Philip C. Jessup, has been assigned to spark intensive study of the Fat Eastern situation. It will be made by half a dozen non-goveriuiental experts on that area of the world. Jessup Is directing per par at Ion of a forthcoming "white paper" on past American policies toward China. It Is supposed to clear the way for a new policy.

Plans for the document have stirred opposition both fos the Chinese Nationalists, whose embassy hat urged reconsideration, and on Capitoi Hill. Senator McCarran (D-Nev) said It would play into Communis hands and anouian i come now. The Far Eastern policy review In volves Jessup, Acheson himself. Policy Planner George F. Kennan, Deputy undersecretary Dean Rusk, Far East ern Affairs Chief Walton Butterworth and various other top-ranking Amerl can aipiomats.

Critical Point Beached This has now reached a' critical point in two respects. First, the white paper is tentatively due the first week in August and the urgency now falls upon means of dealing with the future. Second, the situation in China Is rapidly approaching a new phase, long-expected. A revived Communis sweep to the south toward Canton Is regarded here as putting Uie finishing pressures on what remains of the Chiang Kai-shek administration It may speed the day when the Communists will proclaim (probacy In early fall) a government of their own This will raise the question of recognition. Acheson and his advisers nave to answer three basic questions: Remember Russia 1.

When a Communist government Is created what kind of political and trade relationship should the United states and other western powers es tablish with it? 2. If large pockets of resistance to Communist domination contuue in remote areas after the Conurunists have overrun most of China, should the United States assist the resistance groups? Also should the United State provide underground support for antl-Communlst groups which might be formed In Communist controlled China? 3. In the lands around Communist China what kind of defense concepts can be laid down to block the spread of Communism? More work actually baa been done in the latter question than on the first two. While final decisions are yet to be made by Acheson and Mr. Truman, there appears to be little doubt that America's Far Eastern policy, with respect to Formosa, the Philippines, Indonesia; Burma, Siam and French Indo-Chlna will be increasingly designed to check Commanlsm CABIN BURNS ON GIBBS' FARM A cabin valued at $1,000 burned to the ground' early Sunday morning, on the J.

CONTRIBUTE A DOLL TO Tha "doix eurs THREE CENT Perilous Quarter Million Perscf.3 Uprooted From Tfteir Homes And Moved Into Strange Lands to Avert Rebellion. By ELTON C. FAT WASHINGTON, July 24 (ff) Russia, seeking to suppress any internal dangers along her frontiers," is reported to have removed perhaps-as many as a quarter" million persons tn mass deportation. This apoeared to be one explanation today for obscure references -in the Russian publication Komosol Pravda. A Moscow dispatch fay Associated Press said Eddy GUmore, discussing the general economic and political situation, referred to the article.

It mentioned that the function of military suppression inside the country now has been removed, but the fun-, ctlon of military defense against at-' tacks from outside still remains. That suggested that the Russian government Is now confident about Its own Internal areas, but, still concerned a-bout trouble at Its frontiers. Information current tn Europe and now reaching official government observers here Includes reports of mass deportations of peoples of non-Russian birth or descent from the perimeter zones of the caucuses and Baltic regions, It was learned. These reports say that In the Caucasus, particularly along the Iranian border, Russian security forces have removed ah estimated 50.000 persons.

By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL WASHINGTON, July -24 (P) President Truman refused today to slash his $1,450,000,000 arms-for-al-lles program in the face of a swift of congressional sentiment that ltkbe held to stop-gap size until a 'tied defense scheme is worked out.

Charles G. Ross, White House press secretary, said the program wlJl go to capitoi ma tomorrow "as written." Thli was his reply to reporters' inquiries whether a statment by Sena-fa Varidenberg of Michigan, Republican foreign policy leader, had chang-edvthe president's plans. Vandenberg proposed that a small scale program be tried at first. Meanwhile a defense committee to work out strategy under the North Atlantic treaty could go to worK. i Ross did not discuss the suggestion or the Michigan, senator who said he would withhold" final decision until he saw Mr.

Truman's proposal, But the idea i trimmed down program at the staa gained recruit. The president will urge that the TT.

Truman Argument In addition, Mr. Truman will ask dollars to help allies develdp their own arms plants. Advocates of his program contend It would enable friends abroad to de fend themselves against a Russian attack while the U. S.

struck retaliatory blows with long-range bombers and nayal power and mobilized rein forcements. They argue that, unless allies are equipped to fight such a holding action, Russia might sweep ovec.

are that the president's am will follow these general lines: Truman Plan: $938,450,000 for arms, technical training and assistance to European partners in the North Atlantic alliance. $155,000,000 to stimulate arms production in Europe. $300,580,000 for arms and technica training to countries outside the Atlantic) alliance, including Turkey, Greece and Iran. This part of the program would give the president considerable flexibility to combat Communism. Other countries to get aid under it might Include the Philippines 81am and if The Netherlands and Indonesians should settle their differences and ask arms to fight Communism Indonesia.

$45,000,000 for use as an "emergency" fund. $11,000,000 for administration. In addition, the program Is expected to Include authorization for the defense department to act as agent In the purchase of $100,000,000 of arms for Latin-American countries. This money would be paid back by the Latin-American purchasers, however, so no appropriation to cover It is in cluded in the proposed overall outlay Of $1,450,000,000.

It made its report just before the boys held open house today for their parent with gov. James H. Duff looking on.

"The group marching and dUclpllnr Is necessary with such a large of boys, commented Samuel H. Harper, chairman of the Woods Run settle ment camp. "Without it, you would nave cnaos." He and other members of the inspection group said decentralization of the Camp Penn into smaller units over tne state would preclude tne present "necessary regimentation." They commended the camn as "a splendid Idea" and praised what thev termed the "impressive recreations. program." Turning to criticism leveled at the camp from various quarters, Harper said most of the boys' comslalnts "were the usual gripes you hear at any camp." Maj. i Gen.

Frank A. Weber, state adjutant general, in charge nf the camp, agreed with the commiVee to some extent. "I'm going to recommend a smaller camp to Governor Duff," Weber said. Twenty-five hundred boys are jus too many to handle in one lump. "Whether a string of smaller ramps is the answer, I don't know.

My own opinion Is that one camp, with about 1,000 campers would be tnt most practical solution."
