'BULL' HAL5EY ATTACKS B-36
 FIGHT TACTICS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. --tR-- Grizzled Fleet Admiral William F (BulD Halsey called today for a de- fense strategy based on readiness to wage instantaneous air attack on troop and military targets.
 Halsey made clear that would re- quire lighter, swifter planes thai the B-36 "intercontinental bomb- CT" on which the Air Force is con- centrating
 He was before the House Armed Services Committee, continuing the Navy's barrage against military policy which puts so much empha- sis on the B-36.
 Navy men contend the B-36 could be of use only for mass attack" on large areas.
 With a reference to that, Halsey said successful war cannot be fought by carry on separate cam PaA6lio o6dhlot AlQuoJi ldl dilu ClSll populations.
 He scornfully compared this con- cept of strategic air warfare to medieval "seige" operations.
 Backing Halsey up with state ment was Fleet Admiral Ernest J King, wartime Chief of Naval oper- ations who is ill but still punch ing for the Navy.
 The Navy also had a statement from Fleet Admiral Chester w Nimitz to be put in later.
 And it sandwiched in a direct plea from Capt. A. A. Burke, pre- sent Assistant Chief of Naval op- erations, for reinstatement of the Navy's thwarted plans to build a flush-deck super-aircraft carrier. Halsey's general argument was that the need in event of war will be for fast planes which can harass an enemy's armies, knock out bridges and disrupt his transport

 After Admiral Radford read his confidential statement-later re- peated in the open session of gripes against the Air Force and Defense Secretary Louis Johnson, Congressman Paul Kilday of Texas remarked to him:
 Admiral, I am disappointed shat you did not come here with an af- firmative statement of what the Navy can do, instead of a criticism of what the Air Force can do"

Nationalist Govern ment FIees 10 Chungking R.
 fugees Block Hong Kong
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS


 Chinese Communists today were rushing in to take Canton, no eff fective Nationalist force stood in their way.
 The Nationalist Government fled to Chunking, the wartime capital away in the interior. Roads leading out of Canton were jammed with refugees.
 Hong Kong dispatches said thou sands of Canton refugees are pour ing into that British crown colony. They came in a steady stream by train, plane, and boat. One steam ship with a normal capacity of 300 brought 700.
 Hong Kong is overcrowded. In addition to the regular population, the British have quartered 40,000 defense forces in the tiny island colony and the adjacent leased territory of Kowloon.
 Some reports in Canton said the Communists have already reached the outlying suburbs. Others said the advance units of the Reds were 35 miles away.
 There was no sign of Nationalist resistance, although there were sup posed to be five Nationalist armies to defend the tottering capital. An estimated S0,00O government troops were falling back of the city. The Communists speculated these troops would be evacuated to Formosa where Chiang Kai-shek has built a fortress for a last ditch stand Nationalist leaders continued to squabble in the face of defeat. Act ing President u Tsung-jen was said to be resisting efforts of Chiang to run what was left of the south China show.
 U. s. Secretary of State Acheson is expected to outline United States policy on China in a closed door talk with the Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee in Washington.
