The effort to put a ratio limit
on American troops in the West
ern European defense force ap-
peared to be losing ground in the
Senate today.
Chairman Russell OF the Armed
Services Committee said that
while he would like to see some
ratio, II just don't think you can
write rigid formula into legis-
lation."
Senator Russell indicated he
would back, with some changes,
the resolution of Chairman Con-
nally of the Foreign Relations
Committee, to give general ap-
proval to the sending of more
American troops. The two COM
mittees have been holding joint
hearings on the subject.
In recess this morning, the COM
mittees planned to hear Harold E.
Stassen, president of the uni
versity of Pennsylvania, this after
noon. He will be the first of sew
eral prominent Republican advo-
Gates of close cooperation with
Western Europe to testify. Next
week. the committees will hear
Senator Taft, who
wants a fixed limit on American
troop commitments, and Repub-
lican Senator Wherry, who wants
to concentrate on an air defense
of Western Europe.
Spaatz Urges $50 Groups.
Late yesterday some of the Sen
ators were startled when Gen.
Carl Spaatz, retired former chief
of staff for Air, testified the
United States should build quickly
an air force of $50 groups because
if war comes Russia will have to
be "strangled by air." Present de-
Tense plans call for a 95-group
air force.
Gen. Spaatz approved the de-
cision of the Joint Chiefs OF
Staff to send four more divisions
of ground troops to bolster the
two already in Europe. But, like
other Air Force witnesses. he
made it clear he thought a war
with Russia would be decided in
the air, with the main function
of ground troops to protect air
bases.
Meanwhile, there were signs that
in the. House Democrats may not
be as united as they are in the
Senate on the question of giving
the President a free hand in the
of troops for Europe.

crat, of Massachusetts,, went be-

Total Red Casualties
Estimated at $4,000

The Army estimated today that
the Chinese Communists and
North Koreans had suffered a
total of $4,000 casualties through
last Tuesday. The figure includ-
ed dead, wounded, and prisoners
of war.
Announced American casual
ties now total $4,000.
There were 418,000 Korean Red
and 100000 Chinese dead and
wounded during the period, ac-
cording to the estimate.
1000 Casualties a Day.
Communiques issued by Gen.
MacArthur's headquarters have
estimated that enemy casualties
the last two days were averaging
about 1000 daily.
The Army estimate showed
242,O00 North Korean and $4,000
Chinese battle casualties and 40,-
600 Korean and $1,000 Chinese
non-battle casualties. Presumably
the latter included the estimates
of a large number OF cases OF
frost-bite and typhus.
The summary showed 10000
North Koreans-by actual count
had been taken prisoner. There
was no estimate as to Chinese
Red prisoners. but it is known
that the number has not been
large.

Allied naval vessels continued

Western shores of the peninsula
yesterday for the ninth straight

bardment by the United States
battleship Missouri 185 miles north
of 38 at the northeast coastal city
of Songjin. The Missouri's To-
inch guns hurled 1-ton shells at
railroad yards and command posts.
The continued bombardmenJs
