By LUDWELL DENNY, Scripps-Howard Staff Writer © WASHINGTON, June 26—World War will not re-
sult from the Korean conflict unless Russia forces it.
But if Russia intervenes .
to support her
North Korean puppet against the United Nations’ ward, . South Korea, there is danger that the war cannot be
localized.
The most ft aspect of an otherwise dark picture is that Russia, though the real aggressor, it not yet ‘publicly involved and therefore can retreat without much
loss of face.
If Stalin's chief purpose In ordering his North Korean stooges to start this aggression was to test the United
“Nations, then there is a good chance that firm international action will But if the Security Council fails to protect South ‘Korea from the Red invaders, the United Nations will no longer be trusted and Stalin will have a virtual invitation to complete his conquest of Asia. So the issue is far more important than the fate of little Korea. It involves the life of the United Nations, and potentially another world war. This explains the extreme speed and gravity with which the United States government yesterday called for an emergency session of the Security Council and charged the Red Korean regime with armed aggression.

Fulford said bits of flesh and debris were bobbing to the surface over the area. “There must have been a terrific explosion, probably while the plane was still in flight,” he paid. “It's doubtful that the wreckage would have been scattered like that if the plane had hit the water first.” R.

Mr. Madden came from Washington to become permanent chairman of the Democratic state convention at the Fairgrounds tomorrow. He made public a fetter he had written to Rev. Bernard Crime Commission A ae that the crime organization was being used #0 smear him and other Democrats for Republican partisan purposes. Refers to GOP Trip
His reference was to the recent Washington trip of GOP congressional nominees, including Paul Cyr, Gary, who took the opportunity to seek a Senate committee investigation of Lake County gambling and crime and blamed Mr. Madden and his party for it, Replying t6 a telegram from
“I read the other day where our two Indiana Senators (Homer ¥. Capehart and William E.

The “words,” which Mr. Jacobs was counting on to stop the long running senatorial campaign of Alex Campbell, never came from Gov. Henry F. Schricker. Jacobs forces have counted on the Governor's - word to swing a last minute victory at the Democratic convention tomorrow aa i Four district chdirmen or vice! & chairmen and 74 county chairmen or vice chairmen are on the Fleming payroll.

Some have been suggesting that Mr, Jacobs withdraw in Mr, Campbell's favor and get his $1200 entry fee back.
