U. S. New Orders More Ships lnioiciion

Wiesl-IINGTON. July se.(or)- with Congress pressing for faster and faster rearmement. the U. B. navy today ordered three more aircraft carriers and to other wer- ships into service. Meanwhile Presi- dent Truman signed the 31,222.- aowooc rbreign Arms Assistance bill with a new warning that free- dom loving countries will stand to- ggether to thwart "those bent on aggression." .

The senate passed nanirnously and returned to the House of Rep- resentatives a bill lifting all lim- its on armed services personnel strength until July 31. mod. The House has passed a bill simply re- moving the ceiling with no time limit specified. and now must con- elder the senate amendment.

Approval of President 'n'uman'a request for s1o,4ee.Mc.ooo more in military funds was regarded as a pure formality. Many legislators thought the total wasn't enough and were prepared to vote much more if it is needed.

Chairman Carl Vinson (Dem. Ca.) of the House Armed services commit a announced the expan- sion of the active fleet fcllcwlng a

closed door meeting of the com- mittee. In addition to the three large

carriers. the new is going to send to sea six light carriers, two cruis- era. 33 destroyers and five sub- marines. That will put a total of is light carriers. 16 cruisers and 112 destroyers.

The arms bill authorises a sec- ond year of American assistance specifically for 14 countries in Western Europe. -Asia and the Middle East.

Truman issued a statement asy- ing the arms bill marked another step toward the common goal blocking aggression.

The arms bill total is slightly less thanilsst year's ei.1io,ooo. . some of which was carried over. It is due to be followed shortly. however. by a new request to Congress for a probably larger outlay for the same purpose. some of the President's advlsora have recommended an ad- ditional u.000.000.000. The size of the request is expected to hinge on negotiations at the current Lon- don meeting of the North Atlantic Council of deputies who have been urged to speed western European defence preparations.

Defence t .7 Louis and ti. 5. military chiefs went be- fore a senate Appropriations sub- committee to back u the Presi- dent's request for l0.4ot,i7lo.0Do rncre money.

Johnson said that when the North Korean Communists began their invasion of south Korea a month ago. U. S. fighting "potent- ial" was greater than at any time since the demobilisation at the end of the last war.

State Secretary Dean Acheson told a press conference that the use of 1:. C. A. counterpart funds in Marshall-Plan countries is being considered to step up the product- ion oi weapons and supplies abroad at the same time the flow of Am- erican arms is increased;

LONDDN. July 25 -(C P) - Britaln announced today she is sending a combat group of her regular army, including armor. -to Korea and is putting her Far East- em fleet on a war footing.

Australia and New Zealand also announced that they will send land

under Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

These reinforcements augmented an offer of 4,500 trained camlbat troops by Turkey. 4.000 soldiers by Thailand. 30 officers by Bolivia. and a limited force by Culba. Nat- ionalist China also has offered 30.- 000 veterans, but that offer was declined for strategic reasons.

How many British troops will be sent was not u'sclosed on security grounds. Qualified sources prev- iously had indicated the force might consist of a battalion or I. brigade-from about 1.000 to 5.000 mcn.

Defence Minister Emanue! shin- well told the Commons Britain had informed the United Nations she is ready to send "an effective land reinforcement. including in- fantry. armor. artillery and en- gineers. together with the admin- istrative backing required to main- taln it."

lie added that the force "will be prepared without delay and will be sent to Korea as quickly as pos- rlble." This cannot be done at "A moment's notice." though. he said.

British regulars will make up the hard core of the expedition. he said, with already-trained corr- scrlpts making up the rest.
