give up an inch of ground that's
not already lost.
Everybody in this Army knows
we must hold along the lines
we now have.
No Thought of Dunkirk.
There's no thought in the mind
of anybody in this Army-even
though we might be so disposed
that there possibly can be Dun
kirk. It would be impossible for
us to get out.
"The thought in the minds of
every one is to hold the lines
that We now have-to keep fight

squad. company or higher unit
under any conditions will sur

"All realize that to be prisoners
of these people would be a fate
worse than death.

This leaves about $4,000 tempo
rary employees with less than two
years continuous service who still
may lose their jobs. However, in
view Of the war situation, most of
them probably will be retained.
Commission officials believe the
$4,000 whose jobs are being spared
may quit worrying even should
the President not act in their
behalf.
"The way things look now these
employees need have no fear Of
losing their jobs for at least several
years and possibly a lot more" one
official said. "And during that

Senate Fight Brews
Over Spending for
European Recovery
Tulk Of Divertine Funds
From ECA to Arms Bill
Renewed at 6. O.P. PurIey
By the A.seeiassd Press

With prospects that President
Truman soon will ask 81 billion
more to rearm United States
allies. q sharp Senate fight ap-
peared brewing today over how
much can safely be spent on
European recovery.
There was renewed talk of di-
verting into the arms program
some funds earmarked for eco
nomic assistance to Western
Europe.
Democratic and Republican
leaders Of Congress will meet at
the White House Monday to dis
cuss the new arms aid proposal
with Mr.. Truman, Secretary of
Defense johnson and Secretary Of
State Acheson.
May Total 81 Billion.
Word that the increase may to-
tai 81 billion came from several
sources, including Republican
Senators who conferred yesterday
with John Foster Dulles, Mr..
Acheson's Republican adviser.
It would augment the $1,222,-
100000 authorization already ap-
proved by Congress to furnish
arms during the current fiscal
year to nations abroad.
There were reports that the
United States is going to insist
that its defense partners bear
siZable share of the rearmament
burden themselves. One military
leader said that if they get $12
billion from this country over the
next three years. they will have
to put up So billion of their own.
The reported new arms-aid re-
quest would almost double the
spending previously recommended
by the Senate Appropriations
Committee for all foreign aid
economic as well as military.
The committee approved a total
of $4,522,158,729 for all foreign
aid in the general appropriations
bill now before the Senate. The
largest item in this total is $2,-
391 $3.50. 900 in new money and

27O Tanks Out of Action
By Russell Brines
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent

Associated Press Foreign SorresPondenf
TOKYO, July ga spokes-
man for Gen. Macarthur said to-
day that by conservative estimate
the North Koreans have lost 81
900 men killed and wounded
since the war started.
The Reds also lost ITO tanks
destroyed and 100 damaged, the
military planning spokesman said.
An intelligence officer said
There are no signs of replace

Unframed conscripts are being
showed into the line to replace
heavy casualties.
Some of the 500 Red prisoners
he said have been captured, were
rushed to the front after only four
days training. Heavy casualties
have made it impossible to fill the
holes in the line with trained men.
The high losses continue. The
United States 1st Cavalry Division
counted $500 dead in front of its
positions alone.
South Koreans COnscripted.
The spokesman said the con-
scripts are being taken from both
North and South Korea. And they
are being forced to fight with de-
creaSing tank support.
In contrast, Gen. MacArthur'S
headquarters spokesman said,
American troops are showing
greater stability and seasoning.
They fought off North Korean
attacks for three days at least
as heavy as the Red attacks on

By the Associated Press

BRUSSELS, Belgium, July %
Wild rioting by thousands of anti
Leopoldists broke out anew in
Brussels today. A state of siege
was declared in the industrial city
lof Liege. government sources said.
A battalion of the crack Chas-
seurs ArdennaiS regiment was
lalerted to move into that French
speaking center, a stronghold Of
lSocialist-led forces who want to
drive King Leopold from the
throne he regained a week ago.
Liege was paralyzed by strikes.
A Government official, explain-
ing the stage of siege in Liege,
said that while it had not yet
been officially proclaimed all ac-
tual steps along that line had been
taken.
There were unconfirmed rumors
that an attempt might be made to
set up a rebel provisional govern
ment in Liege. The more extreme
Walloon separatists have long
wanted to secede from Belgium
and throw in their lot with France.
These. however. are only a noisy
minority group.
Sing "Marseillaise."
Rioters started marching through
Brussels at noon, singing the rev.
olutionary "Marseillaise." Mount
ed police, with drawn swords.
charged a crowd on the Place de
Brouckere-the Times Square Of
Brussels-as it was trying to over
turn streetcar.
The rioters had dragged the
motorman and his two protecting
gendarmes from the car. Mount
ed police rode in. striking wildly
with their sabers in all directions.
The gendarmes drew a Gordon
across the square but were at
tackled by the demonstrators.
Horses reared and plunged under
a shower of bottles, cafe chairs
and tables snatched from a nearby
terrace.
The crowd forced its way
through the police Gordon and
marched triumphantly along the
Boulevard Adolphe Max to the
Place Rogier in front of the North
Station, where Nine. Isabel Blum.
a socialist leader, harangued
the crowd: "We are fighting for
the good of the country. The gen.
darmes have no right to strike
at U.s."
Gendarmes Retreat.
Meanwhile, the gendarmes had
into the narrow Rue
Neuve to regroup.
Socialist Victor Larock appealed
to the crowd to keep discipline
and put down their bottles and
other missiles.
The crowd marched of through
the Rue Royale and was halted
by mounted police who surrounded
the neutral" area before Parlia-
ment, where demonstrations are
forbidden. The anti-LeopoldiStS
then held a meeting in front Of
the flame burning above the grave
of Belgium'S unknown soldier.
Workers from anti-Leopold

to have been ordered
into coal-mining sections Of Hahn
