The swift march of events in Korea, a statement by the former French Premier, Paul Bey- naud, that Russia would meet lit- tic opposition in a race to Brest 01' Calais. threats of war against Yugoslavia. have all drawn som- bre comment.

The most, responsblle ,jcui-nais are at pains to stress that the wgst- cm world can hope for little help from the peoples of southeast Asia. where Communism is often re- garded as a lesser evil than "Am- 'erlcan Imperialism."

A typical comment appeared to- day in the Conservative Glasgow Herald, whose diplomatic corres- pondent asscssed the current mil- itary odds as being "more heavily weighted against us than they were in 1080."

The correspondent said the west cannot expect much help on any- thing but a European battlefield. and on the continent of Europe the west is strong neither politic- ally or militarily.

"It is not only the hystericlil," he wrote, "who think that as be- tween the swift dcath of war and the slow death of Communist rule. the latter is preferable on the ground that while there is life there is hope and also that as individ- uals many could escape in time."

Asks (Ion-ii-ress For Ten. Billion. Dollars ifpre

WASHINGTON, July 24-(AP)- President Truman and congress- ional leaders today discussed whe- thcr to increase income taxes at once to help finance the Korean war.

There were some indications that action in Congress might fol- low shortly. it would be an emer- gency. stop-gap device pending the expected writing of a long-range tax law which the United States apparently faces in its costly world-wide defence against Com- munist conquest.

Meanwhile. Truman asked Con- gress today for 510.517.000.000 in new money to increase the armed forces by about 600,000 men and get the country in readiness for any new outbreak of fighting.

The proposed manpower increase would amount to nearly 50 per cent more than present strength of about 1.450.000 men.

Truman asked 510.486.976.000 ad- ditional in strictly military funds.

In a letter to congressional lead-l era. the resident also asked 320: - 000,000 for selective service and Si0.000.000 for his own emergency fund.

His letter said the new appro- priationr are to meet the immed- late situation in Korea. and "to provide for an early. but orderly. build-up of our military forces to a state of readiness designed to deter further actions of aggres- sion."

Washington witnessed these other events as the U. S. swiftly changed over to n semi-war basia:

1. Cong.esslonal sources said that an immediate increase of 60 per cent is planned in the fight- ing power of the marineucorps. Others said this would mean some 57.000 men. The latest figures on marine personnel. nearly a month ago. showed 75.000.

2. House and Senate Banking Committees rapidly moved into hearings on President Truman's request for controls he deems ne- cessary at this time to meet the economic requirements of the emergency. W. Stuart Symington. chairman of the National Security Resources Board. said they would strike at nroflteering.

Ii. President Truman appealed to Americans to report to the Fed- eral Burcau of Investigation any evidence of spying. sabotage or subversive activities.

4. Senator Tom Connolly (Dem. Tax.) said administration planners are considering using Marshall Plan money for European military projects. instead of economic dc- vr-lopmenl. '

Final Preparations For State Funeral Completed

By KEN METHERAL Canadian Press Staff Writer

OTTAWA. July 24--(CP)--Cam ads. with solemn dignity, prepared tonight to pay a final tribute to Rt. Hon. William Lyon Mackenzie King. the man who so largely shaped the nation's destiny for nearly half a century.

The bachelor statesman and for- mer Prime Mlnister will be ac- corded an impressive state funeral Wednesday for which final plans were drafted at a cabinet meeting today.

Throughout tomorrow and until 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, the body of Mr. King. who died Saturday at the age of 75, will lie in state in the hall of fame of Canada's Par- liament building.

The bier will be placed in the centre of the hall, almost under the Peace Tower. At each corner, relays of men from the Navy. Army and Air Force and Royal Canadian Mounted Police will stand constant guard.

Mrs. H. M. Lay. Mr. King: sis- ter and closest surviving relative. will fly to Ottawa tomorrow to attend the funeral. Earlier. it had been reported tha her physician

-Flying to the other side of the globe to cover a "war in peace- time" is a far cry from the old battledress. of just a few years back. War corresponding at least for the takeoff on an assignment has certainly changed.

The communique said Commun- ist tanks leading the roving sweep down the west coast ran into op- position only from South Korean police.

American infantrymen and artil- lcry, dug info the rugged hills along a general 150-mile east-west line, held against everything the Reds threw at them.

The only "give" in the U.N. line was at its northernmost salient, the headquarters communique said. That was at Yongju. 50 miles in-

Yongju is at the active tip of the from between the shattered east coast town of Yongdck - now under US. naval gunfire - and the mountain town of Yechon, which South Korean and Ameri- can troops took last week.

Heaviest action. however, centred near Yongdong. 50 air miles south- west of Yeclion.

Reports Of Sub Sightings Off Coast Unconfirmed

OTTAWA, July 24-(CF)-The Navy said today it has received seven separate reports of unidenti- ned submarine sightings of! Can- ada's Atlantic coast but neither an air-sea military search nor checks by intelligence officers have been able to confirm any of them so far.

A spokesman said it is quite possible a foreign sub is in that FY03.

The investigation. based on the realization it would be quite log- ical for Russia to send one or more subs into those waters, is proceeding. The first sightings came three weeks ago.

No Immediate Danger

Of Inflation

OTTAWA. July 34-(CP)-Won ried about inflation?

At the moment. said a govern- ment trade expert today. there is little need to-not until Canadian production of goods and services starts climbing by an additional 0li00.000.000.

And there is no indication that It will this year.

However. anything can happen between new and next December.

A step-up in demand for pro- duction of goods and services be- yond ths gross national product market of 010.000.000.000 this year could bring runaway price innat- ion in its wake. the expert said.

That unprecedented total output of goods and services would be exactly 0000.000.000 beyond tool

In Canada

current utimated output. now running at the annual peak rate of 010.000.000.000.

Once that I8oo.ooo.ooo production gap was bridged it would mean .that Canada was working at its peak capacity and any demand beyond that point simply could not be met.

This would mean. in turn. either that consumers would compete for the product and sand prlcaa sky- rocketing or that products would be channelled to those requiring them most urgently.

That would mean the same kind of government price. allocation and priority controls that caused so much red tape and so many consumer headaches in the Sec- ond Worid War.

The spokesman said an intellig- ence officer is due back here to- night or tomorrow with a report on the former. The fisherman's story-his name was Tiner-had discrepancies but it also could have been quite true. There AVON! no British or American subs in that area. inside Canadian wafers.

He said the Newfoundland incl- dent might have involved the British submarine Astute. cnroute home at that time after exercising with Canadian naval uniLe. On July 10 the Astute would have been within 80 miles of the area where the unidentified sub was seen by the trawler. The trawler wasn't exactly certain where she was and the description sounded like the Astute.

The Astute was due in Britain yesterday. A check is being made to see whether she surfaced and whether she saw a trawler.

The spokesman indicated little uedence is placed in four other reports which. like that from Chance Harbor. emerged from the Bay of Fundy. The fifth came from Cape North. the top tip of Cape Breton island. but it reach- ed the navy fourth hand and so far hasn't been checked.
