also in five or six other areas. It
probably will be some weeks be-
fore we can ascertain with fair

Gen. Bradley refused to COM

Senator Tydings said there had
been no discussion at this meet
ing OF how much the country's
armed forces would be expanded
to meet the emergency.
| Before the meeting, it was re-
ported there would be an increase
of 100000 men in the armed forces
as the first step toward a decisive
victory in Korea.
The present strength of the
armed forces is about 100000
and the proposed increase, it was
said, would increase present de-
tense costs by about $3.50 million.
However, still further increases. in
much larger amounts, are expect
ed unless there is a quick turn
for the better in the fighting in
Southern Korea, where outnum-
bered Americans have been pushed
back by the Communist-directed
Northern Korean columns.
