HANDS

Tokyo, August 27.

The North Koreans closed in on the port of Pohang from two directions today, and a spokesman for General Douglas MacArthur warned that the Communists were getting more men and guns.

The spokesman said the defence lines have been thrown up only two and a half to three miles from the threatened port after the Communist forces captured the town of Kigye and drove the South Korean de- fenders back two miles.

Another enemy force was moving down the coast despite heavy air and

OF DANGER IN EUROPE

London, “August 26,

Mr. Winston Churchill, leader of the Conservative Party, declared in a nationwide broadcast tonight that Europe was in grave poril ¦ from Communist attack. He pledged Britain's Conservativo Party to sup- port all necessary defónco:maasures.

The danger in Europe, he said, was nearer than that in Korea and was on an incomparably larger scale. My eyes are not fixed upon Korea, though I admire the American action there, and am glad our men. are going to help.

"There may soon be Communist attacks upon Tibet, and Porsia, but tho supreme peril is Europa. We must try to close the hideous gap on the European front.”

Mr. Churchill reiterated that he did not believe that a major War was imminent, adding, "No one can be sure, but I bellove myself that we still have a breathing space, and if we use it wisely We may still ward off horror from the world."

In a latter passage he declared.. In two or three years, should that be granted to us, we Cou make a reasonable defence for

Earlier in his speech Mr. Churchill stated that Russian Government inspectors had access to defence factories in Britain. engaged confidential work,

The reason was that Britain was producing machine tools for export to Russia--some of the class required for the manufac- ture and repair of tanks*

Mr. Churchill urged that orders should be given now to stop the export by any firm of machine tools, diesel engines, and similar equipment, to Soviet Russia,
