report to the people of Western'
Europe. Asia and elsewhere
where Mr. Truman hopes Amer-

a listening audience.
Associates told a reporter Mr.
Truman will say ho had to move
quickly when the North Korean
Reds invaded Korea to draw a lino
somewhere against the steady ad-
vance of communism . against
peaceful countries.
Something had to be done, Mr.
Truman is expected to say, lest
