UNO SECURITY FORCE
2,000,000 MEN SUGGESTED HALF FROM BIG FIVE (9 a.m.) NEW YORK, March 24. The New York Times learns that the preliminary discussions of the UNO military staff committee indicated the desirability of an international police force of approximately 2,000,000 men, one half of which would be provided by the Big Five and one half by the remaining 46 nations. It was indicated that the initial United States offer would be between two and five divisions of ground troops and 10 to 20 air groups and two fast carrier task forces. The other Big Five members are expected to offer a similar force. However, for reasons more political than military, the American offer will not include an atomic bomb-carrying air group.
