LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y.. Jan 29 - (AP) - The United States picked up powerful British-French support today in its demand for a United Nations tag of aggressor on Red China. This came despite word from Red Chins through India that such I vervilct "will finally extinguish Iii hop: for a peaceful settlement" in Korea and the Far East.

More than half the 60-country political committee of the U.N. General -Assembly was on record for the American iesolution saying Peipfng engaged in aggression in Korea. But India's sir Benogal Ran. leader of the Asian-Arab group seeking another try at peace-mak- ing with China. -warned:

"some delegates here "have spoken as if the door would be Open for a peaceful settlement after the resolution is passed. My Government has been in- formed on the highest authority that once there is a condemna- tory resolution there can be no hope of a peaceful settlement."

Ran thus repeated partly what he had told the Arab-Asian group earlier -today. He urged the com- mittee to back the Asian-Arab moves for another try at a settle- ment. . '

Strong British and French sup- port developed fer the American resolution andlthe Americans were confident of an eventual two-thirds majority for Assembly a.pprov.s.l.,

The cruiser opened up on the bot- teries and the Canadian destroyers wheeled to join in the bombard- ment. A few seconds later the Ca,- igs. and Noot-ka opened fire on the batteries, on a hill near the town.

The at. Paul ceased fin to tire the Canadians a clear bearing. Ca.V- uga and Nootks. closed the rsntzeto less than 2,000 yards and both sh-.ps turned to give full -brosdsldes. Close-range weapons joined in the bombardment.

Many Tributes Paid In Commons Yesterday To Late Mr. J. L. Douglas

A distinct shock to his many friends. who. 1 think. were under the impression that he enjoyed rather good health. Both Mr. Matthews and Mr. Douglas were Prince Edward Islanders. the former having been born at Al- bany in 1869 and the latter at Head of llillsborough in

Each received a public school ed- ucation. which in the case of Mr. Matthews was followed by grazi- uatlon from Prince of Wales Col- legs and in the case of Mr. Doug- las at the Charlottetown Busi- ness College.

"I know I am that both Mr. Matthews and Mr. Douglas had the respect and friendship of their colleagues in all parties in this House. There was never any doubt anywhere as to the high integrity of their motives or the sincerity of their tatements. They made few for- mal speeches. but when they did speak. they were listened to with deep interest and close atten- tlon.

"They were scrupulously faith- ful to their parliamentary duties. and even during busy sessions. found time to keep in close touch with those whom they rep- resented here. I am sure that all of their friends in this chamber would wish to be personally as- sociatcd with me in this expres- sion of our most sincere con- dolences to Mrs. Matthews and Mrs. Douglas and the families of our lamented colleagues."

opposition Leader

Following the Prime Minister. Opposition Leader Drew told the House:

"Both of these members were from Prince Edward island and in that fact is to be seen the evidence of the continuing con- tribution made to the whole Do- minion of Canada by that Island which is so proud of its history and its Disco in our country.

"Mr. Douglas was always gen- erous and friendly. not only to those of his own political party but of other political parties. it seemed to me that both of these gentlemen showed that measure of understanding friendship which after all is the basis of the free- dom In which we exist."

C.C.F'. Leader M. J. Caldwell and Social Credit Leader Solon Low in turn voiced regret-over the members' deaths and express- sd condolence to the bereaved fsmillss.

Possible labor Draft Forecast;

To Recall Reserves 5TImi -

Prlme Minister Attlee tcday out- lined to the House of Commons s 114.700.000.000 British rea.i-moment program as "an integral part of North Atlantic defence" against Communist aggression.

It embraces the calling up of more than 250.000 fighting reserves .. most of them for a two-weak train- ing period-increased arms produc- tion and a possible labor draft. Ex- penditures would eover a three-year period.

The program will increase defence spending by more than 30 per cent in t-his already economically-bub

jump in British armaments costs in less than a year.

Winston Churchill. Conservative leader. questioned whether the plan "corresponds to the realities we have to face."

He said Attlee'a program was not more than a revised estimate of I ”what would have been necessary six or even 12 months ago."

Attlee said the program would entail serious economic measures and warned it would mean "sacri- fices in the face of rising prices and a shortage of consumer goods."

"It must affect our standard of living." he added.

He hinted that no loans would be expected from the United States. which cut off Marshall aid to Brit- ain Jan. 1.

Aitlee Outlines Aim

"Io meeting this situation. the Government had one clear aim be- fore it - to see that we carried as much cf the load as possible our- selves now and refrained from martgaglng the future by running into debt: abroad or red-uclng the investment upon which our indust- rial gefficlency depends."

The Government. he said. will call up 235.000 selected army reserv- ists for two weeks of refresher training this slimmer. of these 80.000 would go into the terrifnrrnls. 40.000 into anti-aircraft units and 1l5.00a into regular sonny units.

The R..A.F. also would call 10,000 reservists for rt like period to train in manning Britain's air control nnd warning system. In addition, the R. A.F'. will put 2.300 of its auxil- iary-alr force - the week-end pilots - into three months training. and will call 1.000 reserve air crew mem- bers and 200 reserve instructors for 13 months.

Attlee said the navy plans to pull back into service 6.000 reserves and 600 reserve officers for 18 months.

The call up was regarded by .19.
