Truman Seeks Oil Tank Destroyed In Fiery Blaze
$150 Million To Aid Korea
TO RESIST CONTROL BY
THE COMMUNISTS
Washington, June 7. The Korean Republic, by demonstrating the success and tenacity of democracy in resisting Com- munism, would also "stand as a beacon to the people of Northern Asin in resisting the con- trol of the Communist forces which had over- run them," President Truman declared today.
In a special message to Congress, Presi- dent Truman asked for $150 million to con- tinue economic aid to the Republic of Korea in the year beginning July 1.
He said that such a programme "is not only the soundest course economically, but also the most effective from the standpoint of helping to achieve the objectives of peaceful and democratic conditions in the Far East."

Strabolgi Urges General Election This Autumn
FORECASTS "ECONOMIC
BLIZZARD"
. Blackpool, June 7-Lord Strabolgi, in- fluential Labour peer, today urged the Labour Party to hold a general election this autumn because an "economic blizzard" was about to hit Britain. Lord Strabolgi spoke at the annual conference of the Labour Party, which was shaping policy aimed at keeping it in power after the next general election, sche- duled for 1950.
He said: "We are about to enter a most difficult economic situation in which it will bo difficult to explain to the people exactly how it has arisen and how we must meet it. There is a great deal of economic misunderstanding and, before the whole weight of the blizzard strikes us, I suggest we should go to the country this autumn,"
