Stepped-Up Pressure
By Reds on Burma
Worries Americans
BY John ScoIi
Associated Press Stoff Writer

Stepped-up Communist pressure
has American officials worrying
that the Reds may be preparing a
major effort to overthrow the Bur-
mese government.
The officials say increasing num-
bers of Communist agents and mil
illtary supplies are reported to
be moving across the Chinese bor-
der to bolster Chinese rebels in
Northern Burma.
Meanwhile, they say, an esti-
mated 10000 Chinese Communist
troops are extended along the
mountainous frontier between
Burma and China.
IndO-China Brighter.
And, they add. fear of Com
muniSt reaction has led the Bur-
mese government, headed by Pre-
mier Tahkin Nu, to rebuff nearly
all offers of United States mill
tary aid.
The increased Communist ac-
tivity in Burma comedies with q
brighter outlook for the West in
the flve-year-old fight against
Communicated rebels in neigh
boring Indo-China.
French troops, aided by loyaI
1ndo-Chinese forces, have stopped
Communist advances and are
moving steadily forward.
American officials now believe
that, barring full-scale Chinese
Communist intervention or vastly
increased undercover aid, the West
can defeat the Communists in
Indo-China.
But this optimism is now
tempered by a fear that the Com
munists can undo this prospective
victory by seizing control of
Burma, thus outfanking Indo-
China.
The jittery Burmese apparently
fear accepting American military
help might provoke the Chinese
Communists into invading the
country. One offer of United
States aid that has thus far gone
unaccepted was that of a military
mission to help train and possibly
expand the Burmese Army, now
only 10000 men.
Some informed American off,
cials believe the Communists may
take advantage of Burma's made
quate defenses to set up a Bur
mese Peoples Republic" in the
mountain wilderness of Northern
Burma.
Ten q. S. Gunboats Accepted.
Because of widespread guerrilla
activity by Communist and other
anti-government groups, Burma S
troops are stretched very thin
throughout the country.
Recently, Burma accepted 10
gunboats from the United States.
But only after making it clear it
was doing so mainly to protect
commercial vessels on Burmese
rivers and not for military pur-
poses.
The only other aid the Burmese
have accepted in the military field
is assistance from the United
States in buying military equip
ment.
The United States is providing
limited quantities of economic aid
to the Burmese from funds ap-
propriated by Congress for aid to
Southeast Asia.

Critical Steel Shortage
Prompts New Curbs
On Construction

The Government today had
clamped controls on practically
all construction except houses
costing less than $4,000. small
apartments and such little build
ing jobs as can be completed for
less than $4,000.
Manly Fleischmann, National
Production Authority admins
traitor, said the action was taken
because of the growing critical
shortage of steel.
Many builders greeted the order
with misgivings. The Associated
General Contractors of America
said the order would have an un-
necessarily harmful effect on the
construction industry and on the
defense program and essential ci-
villain activities unless the ma
chinery to issue construction per-
mits is set up without delay.
Licenses Required.
A license must be obtained to
build luxury" housing and apart
ment houses larger than three
stories and basement, and, when
more than Is tons of steel are
used, industrial plants and public
projects. This latter provision af-
fects such buildings as factories,
warehouses, churches, schools,
highways, bridges, railroads and
utilities.
Newspaper plants and radio and
televiSion stations will require per-
mits regardless of the steel ton
mage involved, NPA said.
The requirement for permit to
build a house costing $4,000 or
more is the first direct action af-
fecting homes.
One category of building which
will probably be hard hit is the
large amount Of projected indus
trial construction not contributing
to the defense effort. Heretofore
the Government has made appeals
to industry to delay such work.
More Orders Due Soon.
On the price control front a
delegation of independent meat
packers asked Price Director Mi
chael Disable to speed specific
price control orders on pork and
veal products and sausage.
Mr.. Disable said about a dozen
orders affecting other meats and
meat products will be along
shortly.
An Office of Price Sterilization
official said the packers raised no
objection to the beef order at their
meeting with Mr.. Disable. But
elsewhere efforts were being made
to exempt meat from price con-
trolls.
Charles Finkbeiner of the Little
Rock (Ark) Packing Co. told re-
porters he and his associates do
not believe the OPS has a staff
large enough to enforce meat con-
trolls.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported yesterday that wholesale
meat prices advanced sharply-by
8 per cent-in the week ending
May l. The overall wholesale
price index dropped i per cent
BIS said that foods generally
continued upward with another
rise of 3 per cent. Farm prod
ucts, however, fell of 6 per cent
textiles 2 per cent and chemicals
Il per cent, with other major
commodity groups remaining un-
changed.
