ahead, getting an eight-point edge by
tallying 13 points to eight for Bluff

S3S Million From RFC
BY the Associated Press

Senator Fulbright, Democrat, of
Arkansas said yesterday the
Kaiser-Fr Corp. has applied
to the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. for a new $38 million loan.
Senator Fulbright told reporters
the Detroit automobile firm wants
the money to help its dealers fl
nance their inventories of new
cars.
Senator Fulbright said the COM
pany has informed the RFC the
inventory cost burden of dealers
had increased under Federal Re-
serve Board credit controls. These
require down payment Of one
third on new cars, with no more
than Is months to clear up the
balance.
The RFC granted Kaiser Frazer
a $44 million loan several months
ago. That loan came under the
fire Of Senator Fulbright and some
other members of Congress.
They contended that the pri-
mary function of the RFC is to
aid small business. They said
Kaiser-Frazer could not be put in
that category.
Senator Fulbright said he is
taking no position" regarding the
company's application for another
$38 million.

10th Corps for the amphibious
landing at Inchon September Is
He gave the corps command to
Gen. Almond, who had been his
chief Of staff in Tokyo.
At that time there seemed moth
ing unusual in having the 10th
Corps operate as an independent
force. The 9th Army was fighting
On the southern front and had no
communications lines with the
10th Corps except by way of
Tokyo. These operations obvious
ly could best be co-ordinated from
GHQ.
But many military people
thought that when the 9th Army
and the 10th Corps linked up at
Seoul on a one-front war the
10th Corps could have become a
part of the 9th Army.
This would have given Gen.
Walker direct command of all
field forces in Korea. The entire
responsibility of field operations
would have rested in his hands.
Two Not Merged.
But Gen. Macarthur did not
merge the two. AS soon as Seoul
was captured he pulled the 1st
Marine and 7th Infantry Divi-
sions out of the line. These divi-
sions were loaded aboard ships at
Pusan and Inchon. The ports
were tied up for 10 days by the
loading and then the divisions
were at sea another two weeks.
These two powerful divisions
were taken out of action at a time
when the enemy was on the run
northward. The pursuit halted
while the two divisions pulled back
to be loaded.
There are some who say the 9th
Army did not have sufficient sup
plies to keep driving north after
the fall of Seoul September 81.
But others argued that supplies
would have been available if the
ports and the shipping had not
been tied up with loading these
division.
A large feet Of ships was di-
verted from supply lines to carry
the troops to Northeast Korea.
Since then the 10th Corps has
been reinforced by the Sd In
fantry Division and South Korean
divisions.
For days there was gap in the
U. N. lines in the area dividing
the 9th Army and the 10th Corps.
For time this invisible dividing
line was almost wide open.
Neither the 9th Army nor the
10th Corps had any stable force
in this area.
Finally this breach was closed
but the enemy obviously knew it
was weak spot-for that was
where the Reds heavily hit the
South Korean I'd Corps early this
week and collapsed the defenses.
Many officers are saying pri-
vately they cannot understand an
organization which keeps the
Korean field command split down
the middle.

This is figured on the present
