Replies Awaited For Aid Appeal
The United Nations sought rapid responses from 52 members to Secretary-General Trygve Lie's call for fighting aid to slow North Korea's invasion. Lie urged all except the Soviet bloc and Communist Yugoslavia to contribute in some form, with India and Arab states among those asked for troops or support. The UN plans a near-budget action, aiming to fund a police action within a $49.6 million budget, leaving about $44 million to raise, and earmarking $8 million for Jerusalem's internationalization.
