Defence Secretary Louis Johnson declined to answer a reporter's in- quiry about the possible use of American troops.

The President sterniy called the Communist onslaught a case of ”unprovoked aggression," and a "lawless action."

He praised thespeed with which the U. N. Security Council acted Sunday to order withdrawal ofthe invaders, and promised that his Government will "vigorously sup- port" the Council'a effort to end what he called "this serious breach of the peace.”

(By The Canadian Press)

TOKYO. June 27--(Tuesday)- Tank-led Communist troops enter- ed Seoul this morning.'amid un- confirmed reports that the South Korean Government had left the embattled capital.

As the seat of the young repub- lic toiiered. a United States tighter plsne shot down a Russian-made Yak tighter over the city's Kimpo Airport.

All ground communications were out between Tokyo and Seoul. as well as commercial radio. What reports from the beleaguered city reached Tokyo after the curtain of silence fcll with the Communists at the outskirts came from United States armed services radio.

Gen. MacArthur-'s Allied occupa- tion headquaz-iers announced both the Communist entry and the shooting down of the fighter. There was no word from corre- spondents in Seoul itself.

MacArihur's headquarters said the Yak was shot down while Am- erican personnel were being evac- uated by air from Seoul. The head- quarters reiterated that a complete air cover would be maintained until all Americans are evacuated from South Korea.

To inipori 24 Chevioi Ewes in September

One dozen Island farmers through the Prince Edward Island Sheep Breeders Association will import 24 North Country Cheviot shearling ewes from Scotland this year. it was learned yesterday. 1t is expected that the imported sheep will arrive here about the latter part of September.

The purchasing is being done through the Dominion Department of Agriculture. The Department will also supply one rain for breeding purposes. It IS hoped that the imported sheep will be kept in one place after their arrival until all are bred.

Some of the North Country Chev- lois will be bred here to either Shropshire or Oxford sheep and the offspring used for mu-tton pur- poses. Hybrid otfsprlng of such cross-breeding are regarded asillc ideal type for mutton. Others will be purebred so that purebred North Country Cheviot rams may be kept available.

iCiaxfon Says May Require More Mtmey

By Douglas How

OTTAWA, June 26-(CP)-Cmlv inet Ministers told the Commons today "unprovoked aggression" in Korea has posed "a very grave" situation that could force changes in Canada's military plans if the deterioration continues.

Defence Minister Claxton said Canada's current defence budget of 54.75.000.000 would be ”pearvut.s" compared to what would be spent

if 8. major war developed. The Korean development itself might force him to come back to the

House to ask for greater outlays.

But, he said. it is the feeling of the Government that the present budget represents a fair contribut- ion by Canada to Atlantic Pact security and all that can be spared from the national income at pres- ent.

How Much More?

The budget, a record one, was passed after another day of run- ning dehate that saw two Opposit- ion memlbers risk the Minister to tell the House just what armo-unt he feels is necessary to provide adequate defence.

MT. Claxton said there is no definite answer. He added Canada was building forces that should be adequate to meet attacks in the fnrseeable future. But he would say that if mother s2oo.ooo.ooo were given to the Defence Depart- ment it would be spent largely on equipment-planes. ships. armor- and the Government would serious- ly consider sending a lot of that equipment to Atlantic Pact allies.

I-Ie said 28 per cent. of the pres- ent budget goes for equipment.

May Delay Cruise

The only indication of immedi- ate reaction to Korea to come in statements by himself and Ex- ternal Affairs Minister Pearson was Mr. Claxtlolfs anriouncagrrent that if the situation continues to "look serious" the navy may have to delay plans to send a six-ship, 2.000-man squadron into European waters for exercises in August.

Mr. claxton also announced:

1. The R. C. A. F. will start early next year to send fighter squadrons to the United Kingdom and later possibly to western Europe for training; They will go overseas on a. rotation basis, each for a few months. But the R.C.A.F..'s prim- ar'y task would continue to be de- fence of North America.

To Ask For Sanctions

iAgainst "Reds In Korea

Hy Francis W. . Carpenter

LAKE SUCCESS. June 26 -- (AP)-The United states is ex- pected to call tomorrow for strain; United Nations sanctions against Communist forces of North Korea. which have defied a security Coun- cil cease-firc order.

Hints in Washington that the United States might be asked by the U. N. to enforce U. N. decis- ions against North Korea met only silence iierr-. under the 1' N charter, but no one here is talking it up yet,

The Americans tonight appeared to be preparing their demand for tomorrow's. meeting of the Secur- ity Council (3 p. m. EDT). Chief ;delL-gate Warren R Austin sent this top assistant, A-.-nhassodor iErnest A. Cross. to Washingtonfor

top levelt talks at the State Depart- ment. The United States mission .was in conifer-enre all day and also 'in contact with Washington by telephone.

The U. N.. meanwhile. received a dark picture of events in Korea from its commission there. The Commission said the North Korean advances have created a dangerous situation "with possibilities of rapid deterioration" '

The Commission also transmitted to Lie an appeal from the Nation- al Assembly of the republic of Korea for immediate and effective steps to secure peace and security for Korea and the world.

"This savage and unlawful act of the rebel force is the commission of an linpardona-ble sin." the as- sembly message said.

Acting swiftly at the request of the United Nations. the Council issued its order yesterday. The Russians were not present. continu- ing the boycott they began in Jan- uary against the presence of the Nationalist Chinese. But the Bus- sians never have accepted U. N. decisions on Korea, and several delegates said the Soviet absence saved many hours of debate capped by a Ftussian veto.

Gross indicated after the calm- cil meeting that sanctions would be the next step if the North Koreans did not comply. The question now is--how strong does the U. N. want to make those sanctions?
