Senate Seeks to Place Ammo Responsibility
Washington—(U.P.)—Shocked Senate investigators promised today to explore every angle of Gen. James A. Van Fleet's bitter charge that the U.S. 8th Army lacked enough ammunition to meet a Communist offensive in Korea. *
Chairman Margaret Chase Smith (R.-Me.) said she would have an announcement "in a day or two" on the detailed plans of the Senate Armed Services subcommittee which is trying to find out who or what was responsible for the ammunition shortage.
Gen. Van Fleet told the Senators that ammunition stocks in Korea have "greatly improved" in the past few weeks. But as recently as December, he said there were "no basic battlefield munitions as hand grenades, 81-Mm. mortar shells, and 155-mm. howitzer shells."
The subcommittee is expected to begin public hearings late this week, with Gen. Van Fleet, recently retired 8th Army commander, as the first witness.
Gen. J. Lawton Collins, Army chief of staff, agreed that ammunition reserves in the Far East have not been as large as the Army would have wished, but said they are rapidly being improved. He contended that the 8th Army has always had enough shells to protect its troops "and to carry out the type of operation that the Army commander is now authorized to carry out."
The full gravity of Gen. Van Fleet's charges was impressed on Congress and the general public for the first time with the publication last night of the testimony he gave at secret hearings of the full Senate Armed Services committee during five days beginning March 5.
"We are taking a gamble, a risk," he said. "... Should the enemy start something, which is unpredictable, then do we have enough to meet his offensive in the field?"

Tito Convinced Reds Want Truce
They are Paul G. Roofe and William C. Young, professors; Byron Wenger, assistant professor, and Eleanor Wenger, Nicholas Hotton, and Irwin Baird, instructors.
The Yugoslav marshal, high in world communist circles before his break with the Kremlin in 1948, was said to feel Soviet power is now a balanced triple partnership of Georgi M. Malenkov, Lavrentii Beria, and Vyacheslav Molotov.
Diplomatic sources said Tito told Prime Minister Winston Churchill and other British officials the new Kremlin bosses are mediocre compared with the late Josef Stalin.
