MacArthur urges broader UN force for Korea
General Douglas MacArthur pressed Army and Navy chiefs to mobilize as many United Nations troops as possible to make the Korea campaign truly UN in character. Army Chief J. Lawton Collins and Admiral Forrest Sherman left Korea after visits to gather firsthand information and discuss the plan in Tokyo. They warned of hard fighting ahead and noted UN naval forces have nearly doubled since the war began, with ground forces still primarily American and South Korean.

Group Approves AEC Bill Shrinking Manager Power
Washington Aug 24 The congressional atomic energy committee approved a bill granting the five member Atomic Energy Commission full authority to hire fire and set the salary of a general manager for the A bomb program. The measure aims to reduce the manager’s independent stand and place him under the five commissioners. The bill also raises salaries for the chairman and four commissioners and may keep Carleton Shugg as acting general manager until a final act.
