King Leopold S Return
Awaited by Be|gians
BY the Associated Press

BRUSSELS. Belgium, July 15.-
Some Belgians are busting of
flags and royal pictures to well
come back King Leopold III, now
expected to return to his throne
in a few days.
Nearly as many more show
hardening opposition
Many Belgians believe the end
of Leopold's long exile in Switzer-
land will settle nothing unless he
agrees to 'abdicate and transfer
his powers to Prince Baudouin,
his 19-year-old son.
Some Leopold supporters admit
this is the only way they can see
to heal the rift that started when
Leopold surrendered to the Ger
mans after only 18 days of fight
ing in 1910.
The bitterness was emphasized
by clashes of anti-Leopold strik-
ers with police at Liege today
Strikers attacked streetcarS and
smashed windows of a large de-
partment store which failed to
heed the call for a regional walk
out as a demonstration against
the king. Several demonstrators
were arrested.
Socialists and Communists are
the most vocal of Leopold's oppo-
nents. Backing him are the Cath
olic Social Christians, who con-
troll the government and both
Houses of Parliament.

In the absence of official Gen.

On the question of giving aid

A sample of the questions asked

Plane Production Rate
Appears Lower Than
Needed in Korea War
By james J. Strebig
As.ar:r.ad pv~ex Av;ot;or Wr;ta,

The United States level of air.
craft production appears to be
much lower than needed to sup
port the air war in Korea.
Using World War II experience
As a rule of thumb. warplane at
trition-the military phrase for
losses-runs about Is per cent a
month. An estimated 600 Air
Force planes are available to Gen.
Macarthur.
The Valley Forge with perhaps
90 planes has been in action and
at least one other large carrier
and one or two small carriers with
100 to $50 planes among them, are
expected to be ordered into action
soon.
Average 225 a Month.
Assuming q total of 900 planes
by making allowance for Marine
fighter squadrons and the posi-
bility that another carrier will be
sent to Korean waters, the month
ly attrition would average 225
planes by standards based on ex-
perience.
This is a little more than the
average monthly production of
military aircraft. The deficiency is
being met by Withdrawals from
storage and from Air National
Guard and Air Reserve units.
Before the Korean affair the
Air Force had $500 combat planes
in active units located other than
in the Far East and about 1900
combat planes in storage The
Navy had about 1000 combat
planes in active units and $500
others In storage.
A prolonged fight in Korea
might quickly exhaust the types
most suitable for operations there.
Production of new aircraft is
certain to be increased under or
ders to be placed shortly.
But new plane production or
dered now is not likely to provide
replacements for planes for at
least a year.
Transportation Problem.
Experience in speeding up air.
craft production has developed
what is known as "the rule of
three"-a term used both by the
military and the industry to say
that the rate of production can
be tripled each year. That means
that if production today is 200
warplanes a month. the rate can
be increased to 600 planes a
month at the end of one year.
The position taken by some peo-
pie close to the problems of air
war In Korea is that the deficiency
presently is far greater than ap-
pears on the surface because of
the huge number of planes which
must be in the supply line from
factory to combat theater.
Then there is the matter of
transportation.
Bombers such as B-29'S can be
flown to the theater. but all other
types in use must be carried
aboard ships. The trip probably
runs three weeks.
BY comparison with present
warplane production. the United
States produced 2.461 airplanes in
December, 1941, the month of
Pearl Harbor and it reached IT'S
wartime peak Of 9.113 planes in
march, 1914.
A year after VI day military
aircraft production dropped to an
average of 130 planes a month.

not advocating false reporting nor
the suppression of pertinent facts.
But he said correspondent could
get a shocked frontline soldier to
say anything he wanted him to
say. He expressed belief circum-
stances warranted a leavening
balance.
The general repeated that for
NAL censorship was abhorrent to
him and said the Army was not
adequately trained to apply it.
He noted that he seemed to be
alone in advocating that there be
no formal censorship in the war
zone, remarking that several cor
respondents had requested censor
ship.
An officer high in Gen. Mac
Arthur's headquarters said yester-
day that 1t. Gen. Walton H. WAL
ker, commander of Allied forces in
Korea, had been given authority
to apply military censorship.
Gen. Macarthur told the four
correspondents, however, that he
believed censorship was not the
proper means of insuring sound
war reporting. He felt sound re-
porting rested on the almost in
tuitive judgment of trained news
papermen.
He noted that Mr.. Lambert was
a former Navy public information
officer and that Mr.. Kalischer had
served as soldier under the Mac
Arthur command.
In parting, he cautioned both
men to be careful on the front,
noting that two correspondents
already have been lost.
An officer at headquarters said
the question of censorship was
being studied at Gen. Walkers
field headquarters and would be
applied if Gen. Walker thought
it necessary.
Some correspondents have re-
quested formal censorship as an
aid in clearing away the con-
fusion of trying to report the
campaign.
Halted Boarding Bus.
Mr.. Lambert was halted as he
was about to board a bus in Japan
to start a return trip to Korea.
He had been in Tokyo for a brief
rest.
Col. M. P. Eichols, Gen. Mac
Arthur's public information off,
Ger, said the action was taken
because the material in Mr.. Lam
bert'S dispatches has given laid
and comfort to the enemy"
In a statement, Mr.. Lambert
declared: Il deny giving either
aid or comfort to the enemy in
any of my Korean stories.
II sought to be restrained and
objective in reporting the Korean
war. I suggested several times to
Army authorities in Korea that an
officer or officers conversant with
security and anything which
might help the enemy be assigned
to work with correspondents here
so reporters could be guided and
advised.
Nothing came of those sugges-
tons"
Col. Echols conceded that the
objection was not based on a
question of accuracy or security
in Mr. Lambert's news reports.
Soldiers Remark Quoted.
The officer cited as laid and
comfort to the enemy" an excerpt
from one of Mr.. Lambert's dis
patches which quoted 'front.' line
soldier saying This is a damned
useless war"
The soldiers remark, which Col.
Echols quoted in part, was taken
from paragraph in Mr.. Lam
bert'S July IL story, in which the
soldier was quoted as follows:
you don't fight two tank
equipped divisions with 80 caliber
carbines. I never saw such a USE
less damned war in all my life"
Then Mr. Lambert went on to
say that "bitter though they were
