Already In Action

Less than five hours after news bulletin-s from the white House flashed around the world. Gen. Mac-Arthur's headquarters in Tokyo revportlcd that American planes were already in action against the Rus-

sian-trained invaders of South Korea. In Washington. the navy said

some of its fighting craft now on the United States west coast un- doubtedly will be shifted in gen- eral support of operations in the Korean theatre.

The navy said American de- stroyers and other craft prdbably will be ready tomorrow to deliver blows against Communist seaborne landings, such as the invaders have made at four points in South Korea.

A direct move to have Russia and the conflict was announced meanwhile by the State Depart- merit.

The Department said Alan G. Kirk, United states Ambassador. delivered a. note to the soviet For- eign office in Moscow asking Rus- sia to "use its influence for the withdrawal of the invading forces and the cessation of hostilities."

The President said he was send- ing warships and planes to help embattled south Korea. and he drew a. taut line against the spread of communist aggression in the Orient. -- -- .

The Soviet Union was absent from the Council. Its chief dele- galc, Jnkoh A. Mailk, insisted at ,1 private luncheon talk with Un- lted States Ambassador Ernest A. Gross that the Council decision Sunday for a cessation of hostili- ties in Korea was illegal. He laughed and said "nyet" (no) when asked by Secretary-General Tfylzvc Lie if he would not go along to the Council meeting from the lunch.

Mallk will leave on vaction soon and there is considerable speculation here about Rus- sia's future in the U. N. The Russians are certain to de- clare tonlghtls resolution illegal.

The Council voted little more than ten hours after President Truman announced in Washington that the United States is putting ships and planes into protective combat against Red invaders from North Korea.

Vote For Itesolu” ..

Those voting for the resolution were the United States. Britain. France. China. Norway. Ecuador and Cuba.

The Council then proceeded to defeat a Yugoslav proposal to mediate the Korean war. and to invite the representative of the North Korean authorities to state their case before the Council. The Council had defeated a similar Yugoslav proposal Sunday.

Immediately after the votes, ovcrscns telephone calls came in for the Egyptian and Indian dele- gates. and the Council session was interrupted to permit the delegates to obtain latest instruc- tlons from their Governments.

However. nothing came of the phone calls, and the Council ad- Journcd at 11:05 p.m. EDT.

Discusses Ottawa Policy In Relation To Food Surpluses

"Politicians, economists and oth. ers in official life may have their respective definitions of food sur- pluses. but to a farmer the defin- ltion is simple: a food surplus ex- ists when it has resulted in a price so low to the farmer that the ma- jority of farmers cannot profitably maintain current levels of produc- tion," said Dr. E. C. Hope, econom- ist for the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, in an address deliver- ed to the annual convention of the Agricultural Institute of Canada here last night. on the subject of food surpluses.

"The Minister of Agriculture has insisted at times that there is no surplus of either butter or cheese at the present time. In file House recently he stated that up to -the present there has not been any great difficulty in selling butter and cheese nor is there likely to be in the immediate future. He even won so far as to say that at the mom nt returns are very good for dairy products as well.

"On the other hand," said Dr. Hope. ”we have farmers and farm organizations insisting that there is a surplus condition for a num- ber of farm products. They cannot reconcile the Ministers statement with the official. scmi-official statements and common knowledge that the main buyer ,of Canada's food exports, the U. K., is not at present in a position to maintain her purchases of foods from Can- ada at recent levels. Moreover, the farmer is faced with the fact illnt devaluation has compelled the U.

Ships collueln New York Harbor

NEW YORK, June 2'1-(AP)-A Danish freighter collided today with the luxury liner Excalibur in New York Harbor, and lid Med-

iterranean cruise passengers were taken ashore safely. No injuries were reported on

either ship, although the 5.146 ion freighter Colombia caught fire.

Crew members said the 0.844- ton Excalibur might have gone down had the crash come in deep- er water. As it was. she was beach- ed before she could sink.

Passengers aboard the Excal- ibur toppled llke tenplns as the collision came.

Sun-bothers looked on from the Brooklyn shore. unable to believe their eyes as the two ships moved toward one another and then col- lided. The sea was calm. riffled only a bit by wind. Visibility was perfect.

There was no panic as the Ex- calibur's passengers pulled on life Jackets and waited to be removed by tugs. The big ship listed badly, her how dipped low in the water and her stern shot into the air.

Firchoats pumped ions of water

into the blazing freighter and she finally was beached all: Bay Ridge Brooklyn. 1 The Colombia hit the Excalibur labour. two feet ahead of the bridge. The port side of the Excalibur was stove in.
