controls are not presently under
consideration, he said.

more trucks or concentrate on
tanks.
Gen. Marshall appeared before

That request would bring the
military spending during the fiscal
year ending next June 80 to SAL 8

The Army would get the largest
share Of the total outlay-$16,-

first time in seevral years that
that service has received the larg-

The Air Force is scheduled for

To Join Up With Rescue Force

gan showing out OF k0to before
the withdrawal from Hagaru had
been completed. The first left
some of its troops in Koto. The
remainder drove south toward the
northbound Third Division task
force.
The 1st pulled up near Pohu-
Jang and awaited the arrival of
the task force. But while those
Leathernecks waited and secured
the area for their buddies,
bridge behind them was blown.
Hence, when the Army task
force linked up with the 1st Ma
rine Regiment yesterday, the
bridge had to be repaired be-
fore complete linkup with the
main force could be effected.
But now there were new reports
of more Chinese Reds concen-
trating between the Marine
soldier force and the Hungnam
escape hatch.
Four Red divisions-two on each
side of the road-were moving in,
apparently in an attempt to sever
the escape path short of the sea.
A Tenth Corps spokesman said
there was considerable shutting of
Red troops along the east side of
the road. This indicated the Reds
were running in fresh troops to
replace their battered legions.
Confidence Expressed.
A Third Division staff officer ex-
pressed confidence the road could
be kept open to get the Marines
and Army men out to the. coast.
Ships of the U. N. fleet stood
off the port of Hungnam. There
were rumors of plans for mass
evacuation. Allied authorities Of
fered neither confirmation nor
denial.
The fleets commander, Vice
Admiral c. Turner Joy, said his
ships were '..ready for any even
tuality." But they were there, he
added, primarily for the support
Of U. N. forces in the Hamhung-
Hungnam area.
A North Korean high command
communique boasted that 23,700
U. N. troops have been killed or
captured by Korean Red forces
and Chinese Communist "voIun-
teers" since Gen. MacArthur's
end-the-war offensive was thrown
into reverse late in November.
The communique, broadcast by
the Chinese Communist Peiping
radio. brought no comment from
MacArthur's headquarters. Allied
officers said the Reds often made
such claims to fish" for infor-
nation. hoping to obtain the true
figures.
