Van zandt Sees u. 5.
Eyacuating Korea
Within II Hours
BY the Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa, July 49,
A member of the House Armed
Services Committee said today
that in his opinion American
troops may have to evacuate
Korea in the next 70 hours.
The statement was made by
Representative Van Zandt, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania in a
speech before the Pennsylvania
convention of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars.
- I'VE are in hell of a fix," Mr..
Van Zandt declared.
He told a reporter later that
possibly" on Monday the National
Guard and Organized Reserve OF
the Armed Forces will be alterted
for duty.
Mr.. Van Zandt said the crossing
Of the Kun River in Korea has
removed the last natural barrier
before the Communist troops, and
added:
We are outnumbered 10 to /
and our equipment just isn't suff1-
cient to match that of the Com
munists."
Mr.. Van Zandt, who is also a
member of the Joint Atomic En-
ergy Committee, emphasized that
his evacuation prediction is en-
tirely his own thinking and is
not based on recent reports from
Washington. A veteran of both
World wars, he has served three
terms as national commander of
the v. F. w.
However, he said, it was gen
orally agreed" in Washington last
week that if the Communists
crossed the Kun River in force,
American troops would have to
get out of Korea.
Mr.. Van Zandt also hit at what
he termed the 'lack of American
preparedness"
He said the Defense Department
has not used the appropriations
that Congress provided and in
the manner Congress wished. The
70-group air force which air Off
GERS and others of the general
staff wanted. is not in being and
Eve are handicapped"

The plane descended $500 feet

Searchers Find Mars.
Guided by electrical impulse
signals, the searching planes
found the Mars at 2::53 pm.
The escort planes had their
own troubles. At such reduced
speed, it was a task to keep posi-
ton. So as not to endanger their
own craft, they slowed up by fly
ing with wing flaps down.
Another military aircraft re-
ported loss of an engine 500 miles
west of San Francisco. Word was
nessaged for one of the Mars
escort to divert his mission.
He argued his way out of it
''until we take care of this job" :"
(The other plane made it okay.)
While 125 miles out. the Mars
was down to the 3,300-foot level
and losing altitude slowly but
steadily.

Com. Snyder reported a third
engine was threatening to quit. 1t

crippled flying boat.
But the third engine, while
suffering, kept going.

The men of the Mars kept ears
cooked for continued roar from

At 5:25 pm. when the altitude
was under 1000 feet, the crewmen
dumped 500 gallons of gasoline.
A short time later, more gasoline,
baggage and gear went overheard.

Korea Developments
Cause Fast Revision oi
Political Campaigns
By Jock Bell
Assoeiafed Press Staff Writer

Democrats and Republicans are
rapidly revising their congress
sional campaign strategy to fit|
the pattern of undeclared war in
Korea.
Because the situation is likely
to change greatly long before the
November election rolls around,
neither party has been able to
settle on any fixed program.
But the trend indicates the Re-
lpublicans plan to blame the DEM
ocrats for ID setting the stage
for open warfare by agreeing to
the division of Korea and (2)
failing to prepare friendly and
American armed forces for fight.
Democrats Charge Obstruction.
The Democrats already are
lashing back with charges that the
COP Cd obstructed efforts to re-
arm anti Communist nations and
CD are hampering the conduct
OF the undeclared war by carp
ing about the past.
Republican candidates for the
Senate already have agreed to try
to blame the Democrats for lust
about everything bad that has |
happened in Asia.
House Minority Leader Martin
is playing the same tune, asserting
that the Democrats didn't do any
thing to stop the Red wave in
Asia until President Truman Or
dered military intervention in
Korea.
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio. led of the assault with an
assertion that out of $26 million
made available by Congress for
Korea and other areas last year.
only 5000 had been spent in cash
for new supplies for the Koreans. |
Senator Taft expects to remind
the voters that he said six months
ago the United States ought to
send its Navy to protect Formosa.
DerisiOn by Acheson Recalled.
AT the time Secretary of State
Acheson called the suggestion
silly" Chairman Connally of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee pooh-pooed the idea.
Democrats note that Senator
TAFT voted against military aid
funds for Europe last year and
supported the program this year
only because it was something he
said Congress had committed the
country to.
AS a whole, Republican candi-
dates can be expected to try to
put themselves in the vanguard
OF those urging speedier and
Weightier measures be taken to
arm and defend the world against
Communist attack than the Ad-
mlnistration is likely to take.
democratic candidates won't be
left behind in this race, however
And President Truman--by such
actions as authorizing draft in
ductions-has indicated he is
willing to move speedily.

Communism at home may still
be an issue, but probably rela-
lively a minor one in the face of
the threat abroad.
