be headed by Gen. Yet Chien-ying
commander of the South China
military government.
Another report, from Peiping
announced the opening of five
military schools to train special
lists and officers.
The Reds have requested" that
every one over II volunteers for
one of these schools.
Task Is Monumental.
Such requests" are usually fol-
lowed by district and regional
quotas which have to be filled,
Thus, in the ultimate, such pro-
grams actually mean conscrip-
ton.
However, this conscription,
training, financing and equipping
would be a monumental task, one
that might not be possible even
under the most rigid controls. If
they can do it the Communists
will have armies to burn.
Most observers of the China
scene believe the 9Th Army forma-
ton report is correct. Rumors
that Gen. Yeh sometimes Wavers
politically are belied by the fact
that he is still his own political
commissar, according to most re-
cent information.
For some time the Reds have
had four field armies and as

churia, North China and in parts
of West and Southwest China.
That some of the semi-independ-
ent units already have been COM
bined into 5th Field Army seems
likely enough. although such a
force never has been announced.
North China troops under Nieh
Jung Chen were reported last
September to number IL armies
almost asabig as some field armies
Militia May Be Included.
The rumored 9th Army forma-
ton thus tends to confirm the
earlier secret creation of a 5th
Field Army and also indicates the
Reds may be Incorporating some
militia units or provincial forces
into the national armies.

perhaps to put bandit-hunting on
a 4-hour basis. In any event, it
gives Peiping another organized
field army which would be in a
position to operate against For
mosa, Hong Kong or Indo-C China.
The military schools soon to be
opened would seem to set up a ma
tional framework for training air
men, artillerymen, tank men, ma
val personnel and antiaircraft
crews, as we'll as to supply experts
for all military needs.
A private report from South
China said the Reds also are send

Berlin and from there shipped
either directly to Russia, or to one
of her satellites
Officials said perhaps as much
as Sc million to So million worth
of steel has been Illegally shipped
to the East thus far in 1850.
Another source said shipment
of American lead which arrived
in the Netherlands went down the
Rhine to Switzerland. The lead
then went on to Stettin, Poland
American officials were aware OF
the transaction. but were unable
to interfere. Switzerland until
yesterday had no export controls
and had become a favored spot
for international spectators. The
little nations decision yesterday
to impose export and import con-
trolls may close that avenue.
Initial receivers of contraband
slipping under the Iron Curtain
have been Poland, Hungary and
Czechoslovakia, Allied officials
said. But they make no bones
that they are convinced Russia
ultimately gets the lions share.
Recently the Allied high COM
mission asked West German Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer to have
his government take steps to stop
these movements of strategic ma
terials to the East. Some officials
say the Germans don't have ade-
quate border police to halt the
movement Of contraband.
These are some of the ways
officials say. that illicit shipments
are made:
Some contraband goes East
under false papers. Other ship
ments are sold through Commu-
mist Intermediates who have set
up dummy firms in West Ger

The retreat of the 9th Army
from it's reformed line south OF

Tokyo Press Officer
Gives Newsmen List
OF New Suggestions
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Dec 12.-War CORE
spondents today were given a new
list Of suggestions" on how to
protect military security.
Col. M. P. Echols, Gen. Mac
Arthur's press officer. explained
this was necessary because the
new war" against Chinese Reds
in Korea made secrecy more i'm
portant.
He said there would be no for
NAL censorship. however.
while press censorship" he
said, was relatively unimportant
in the North Korean phase (of
the campaign it becomes more
important when the potentialities
of the enemy are enormous, par
ticularly when they are in posi-
ton to throw in resources the
North Koreans never had-to wit,
certain naval and air activities"
Suggestions Listed.
He listed these suggestions
which he said would protect al
lied security if closely observed:
/. mo information concerning
planned activities should be given
out, or moves in progress"
2. "No enemy movements with
respect to our boundaries, weak
ness in our positions or undefended
portions of our lines"
3. mo information concerning
the effectiveness of specific items
in enemy or United Nations ma
Terrell"
4. mo report of activities or
locations of friendly troops except
In terms of divisional units or
separate United Nations forces and
then only when the unit is in firm
contact with the enemy.
Outlined at Conference.
Col. Echols outlined these points
to group of wire service, radio
and individual newspaper corre-
SpondentS called into conference
as a "cross section" of the Toyko
press corps. He said the points
would be distributed to all news
men covering the war.
The new outline of what head
quarters considers of security i'm
portance parallels but expands
previous suggestions to newsmen.
Col. Echols said there would be
no effort to make them regula-
tions.
Col. Echols said also that all
f1eld correspondents in Korea will
be asked to submit to local head
quarters copies of their stories on
military matters within eight
hours of filing but not before they
are filed. If a public information
officer feels upon reading them
that security has been violated,
he will refer the story to Tokyo
headquarters.
Security Violations.
The public information officer
here will, in cases of security vio-
lation, communicate with the
Tokyo bureau of the field CORE
spondents' Office or with the in
dividual correspondent, if he is
working alone. The purpose, Col.
Echols said. will be to point out
the portions of the story which
are considered to be contrary to
security.
But he said this procedure will
be solely for guidance of the
newsmen and not for taking any
remedial action"
Col. Echols said this "is in no
way censorship or a threat in any
way to the press" Correspond
ents attached to 9th Army head
quarters now are required to sub
nit one International copy of
their stories to the public infor-
nation Office at the time of filing.
The new procedure means that
correspondents will do the same
thing at corps or divisional head
quarters.

HONG KONG, Dec. 12.-Com-
munist China, already armed tc
the teeth, seems to be rushing to
convert China into militarist ma
ton for a long pull.
Such a program. if carried to
the limit, would mean that COM
munism seeks to turn the world's
most populous nation into a
feeder source for battle on a sus-
tanned basis.
Such a plan would tap a human
reservoir which no single Western
nation-and probably no combi-
nation of Western nations-could
equal.
Two news items in the past few
days provide the latest evidence of
a trend toward further militari-
Zation

A Canton dispatch to the inde-
pendent Hong Kong newspaper,
Wah Ku Vat Po, said the Reds

such shipments roll to Russia ant

such shipments roll to Russia and
its satellites.
Some authoritative quarters be-
lieve that at least a portion of
United States Army surplus stocks
have been sent to the East. In
this, too, their hands are all but
tied.
At the close of the war an esti-
mated ST. billion worth of war ma
terials remained. The Army sold
it to the West German govern
ment for approximately 5000 mil
lion.
Thus far almost 80 per cent of
this stock has been sold by the
Germans.
There is one drastic move
open-the freezing of all surplus
stock, permissible under Allied
law in Germany.
Action now. however, is some
what late. With so much surplus
sold, such moves now apparently
would save little.
