Mr.. Moore points out that since
the demand for food would not

problems of his division are mostly
logistical-the business of getting
the food to the right place at the
right time.
TO do this, a system of mobile
canteen units has been worked out
and existing hotels and restau-
rants will be used. The mobile

S235 Million Carrier
Appears Assured Of
House Passage Today
$1,000 Ton Ships Cost
Exceeds Thot Of Larger
One Stopped by Johnson

The House swung into action to-
day on one phase of the rearma-
ment program-a vote on ST.
000-ton carrier able to carry
atomic-bearing planes-as the
lawmakers prepared to consider a
record-breaking budget of s71.-
594 200. 900.
With no opposition in sight, the
House expected to pass the bill
calling for the giant aircraft car
rier and send 1t to the Senate be-
fore nightfall. 1t would be part
of So billion shipbuilding pro-
gram sought by the Navy and for
which funds would be provided in
supplemental appropriation
later.
Chairman Vinson of the House
Armed Services Committee, which
has approved the program asked
by the Navy, said it provides for
173 new ships and modernization
of 29l existing vessels.
Would Cost S235 Million.
He added the carrier would cost
$235 million. This is $46 million
more than original estimates on a
65, ,000-ton carrier on which work
was stopped by former Secretary
of Defense Johnson. Increased cost
for a smaller carrier was blamed
on rising prices.
A bill has been offered to name
the new carrier for the late James
Forrestal, the first Secretary of
Defense
The cost of the Navy program
would be in addition to the S41
billion military budget for the fis-
cal year starting July /.
Work on that and the admin
istration's request for an over-al
budget in excess of $71 billion
by far the highest in peace time
will be started Monday by the

At that time the committee will
meet and organize for its work

The Air Force today virtually
cut off voluntary enlistmentS, as
defense officials returned to Con-
gress to reiterate demands for an
18-year-old draft by next sum-
mer.
At the same time, Senator
Morse, Republican, of Oregon
criticized growing wave of emo
tionalism" which he said has de-
veloped to the draft and use over
seas of 18-year-olds.
He made the statement as two
prominent educators, DR.. Karl
Compton of NIT and DR.. Harold
Dodds of Princeton, urged the
Senate Preparedness Subcommit-
tee to approve the Pentagon's re-
quest for 27-month training
service draft of 18-year-olds by
next summer.
Air Force officials said the new
suspension of enlistments, ordered
because heavy enliStments are
swamping indoctrination centers,
may be lifted about February l.
Some Being Accepted.
EnliStments still will be accepted,

veterans, applicants for the

China Reds Reject Ceose-Fire
Plan for Korea as Impossible
Acheson Defends u. S. Stand
Secretary Indicates
Peipine's Reply
Is No Surprise

The Chinese Communist regime
today fatty rejected the latest
United Nations Korean fire
proposal.
While the Peiping radio was
broadcasting news of the rejection,
Secretary of State Acheson was
defending United States approval
of the cease-fire resolution.
Mr.. Acheson told news con-
ference he had no official report
of the Chinese Communist re-
gine's reply to the cease-f1re reso-
luton, but indicated he was not
surprised by the reported rejec-
ton.
Called "ImpoSsible."
The Peiping broadcast. mon
itored in Tokyo, described the
U. N. proposal as impossible. !"
The broadcast added that the
message of rejection was sent by
Premier Chou En-lai to David
Owen, acting secretary general OF
the U. N. in New York.
U. N. officials at Lake Success
said they had received no official
reply from Peiping at the time of
the broadcast.
Mr.. Acheson said this country's
approval of the U. N. resolution
was in accord with basic American
policies for seeking solution of
any world dispute by peaceful
means.
Congressmen Critical.
Mr.. Acheson said the United
States had not shared the belief
of an overwhelming majority OF
the U. N. members who supported
the case-flre resolution that the
Chinese Communists might still
be prevailed on to stop defying
the United Nations.
He added, however. that to pre-
serve unity among the free ma
tions, it was necessary to subordi-
nate American views as to the
usefulness of the move.
Some members of Congress were
especially critical of the cease
fire resolution because it provided
that if the Chinese Communists
stop fighting in Korea, they would
be invited to take part in other
outstanding Far Eastern problems,
including Formosa and Chinese
Red membership in the U. N.
Won't Oppose Discussion.
Mr.. Acheson pointed out that
the United States had discussed
those issues in the past and has
held that they should be settled
by peaceful means of discussion
and debate.
He insisted that there is no
reason why this Government
should oppose discussion of those
problems in the future under
proper circumstances.
He added that obviously the
United States had not committed
itself on what it might agree to
in such discussion. He said his
opposition to Chinese Communist
membership in the U. N. is clear.
but refused to 60 into detail about
it again-saying he was not going
to do so at every news conference.
U. n. Plan Outlined.
The latest U. N. cease-flre plan
called for:
/. An immediate cease-flre with
safeguards "insuring that it will
not be used as a screen for mount
ing a new offensive"
