Truman Urges Korean vefs
 War Benefits

WASHINGTON, May 10 = R = President Truman said today veter- ans of the Korean fighting should be given every benefit made avail able by the government to veterans of other wars.
 He said it was up to Congress to change the law under which hos pitalization was denied by the Vet erans Administration to a Korean veteran for a non-service- connected disability.
 D. R. Arellano, Jr, 21, of Tucson. Ariz., was denied admittance there yesterday to a VA hospital. He was then taken to Pima County hospital and operated on for a throat can cer. Arellano is a former Marine bazooka squad member, discharged after Korean service.
 VA officials said they could do nothing about the case because the Korean conflict has not been of ficially recognized as war.
 MT. Truman was asked his re- action to the VAS refusal.
 Up To Congress
 He said he had no comment other than to say that he thought the VA had answered the whole ques- ton. He said that the VA obeyed the law. and it was up to Congress to change the law.
 And he said he thought that the Korean veterans were entitled to all the benefits that go to other vet erans.
 The House Veterans Affairs com- mittee meantime asked the VA regional office at Tucson for an explanation.
 The VA said determination could be made quickly whether Arellano's throat cancer was service-connected. If so he could be put on the com- pensation rolls and be entitled to disqualification.

LIN FORCES WIpING OUT
 RED THREAT
Allied Probing Tank Pa troIs Encounter Con-
 mic Mine Fields
By Associated Press

Allied armored patrols today stab- bed into Munsan, 21 miles north west of Seoul, after wiping out a Red threat to flank the old South Korean capital
 Tanks and South Korean infan- trymen hunted through Munsan without opposition. then withdrew.
 Elsewhere along the 100 mile front the greatest obstacles encount- cred by probing tank patrols were mine fields covered by small arms fire.
 Chinese "Wilting"
 Chinese armies are "wilting on the vine" because of lack of SUD- plies. said It. Gen. Edward M. AL mond, commander of the US. 10th Corps.
 The Reds have withdrawn to keep out of range of LIN artillery. Never theless, Almond cautioned. they pre- sumably are preparing for another attack.
 We are prepared for them," he said. We are killing large quanti- ties of the enemy and will kill them in the future"
 Ready for Enemy
 It. Gen. James A. Van Fleet. LIN ground commander, emphasized the point. Van Fleet said his men are in excellent spirit, at the highest peak of determination, and
 we are ready for the enemy now and at any time in the future"
 An 8th Army spokesman said 5000 North Korean Reds who had threat ened to outflank Seoul were either killed or routed.
 The Fifth Air Force reported it still was studying the results of Wednesdays raid on Sinuiju Air Field by 312 LIN planes but 1t was clear they inflicted considerable damage"
 Biz Air Strike
 Eight Marine planes were hit in the raid, the greatest air strike of the war. But not a single raiding pilot was scratched. the Air Force said.
 American F-86 Sabre jets flew pa- trol over Sinuiju Thursday, within sight of Russian-type jets parked on an air field across the border in Manchuria. The Red planes re- mained safely on the ground.
 For the fifth successive day AL lied tanks pushed into Chunchon on the Central front.
 Roads Bomb Pockcd
 Communist trucks and trains were still rolling fresh supplies and equip ment down bomb-pocked roads to their withdrawing ground troops. Some 275 U. s. Fifth Air Force fighters and bombers roared out to strike at rail yards in North Korean industrial centers. The Communists big voice, the Pyongyang radio. claimed the Reds killed or captured 20,792 LIN troops during their drive which began April p and continued eight days. U. s. Defense Department has an nounced 2.3l1 American casualties for the two weeks ending May 4. This did not include South Korean or other LIN losses. The Allied command has esti- mated Communist losses during the nine day offensive exceed 75.O0O men killed or wounded.

MARSHALL
 UNDER FIRE.
 FOURTH DAY
Secretary Denies RidgwaY- MaeArlhur Statements
 on War Parallel

WASHINGTON, May 10 = lN - Secretary Marshall brushed aside today a suggestion that It. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway had made statements of the kind that led to firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. He said they were not parallel"
 For the fourth day, Marshall was in the witness chair before the Sen ate Armed Services and Foreign Re- lations committees inquiring into MacArthur's dismissal and the diff ferences behind it.
 At the outset of today's session, Senator H. Alexander Smith CR-ND quoted a two-months old statement by Ridgway which said it would be tremendous victory for the LIN if the war ended with our forces in contr )l up to the 38th Parallel"
 Smith asked if that wasn't the kind ,s statement Macarthur has been criticized f. making.
 No Parallel
 Marshall replied: T don't think that there is a sufficient parallel there, Senator.
 There Ridgway was saying some thing to the encouragement of his forces"
 Similarly, Smith raised questions yesterday about statements made by It. Gen. George E. Stratemeyer, air commander in the Far East. Strate- meyer had been quoted as stressing the handicaps imposed by the fact he was unable to strike at enemy planes while they were on the afo,aId at E1ancnur1an bases.
 Mac Popular, Japan
 In response to other questions from Smith, Marshall said the ad- ministration very carefully consid- cred" the effect on the Japanese people before removing Macarthur as occupation chief.
 He said it was generally recog- nized that MacArthur's prestige with the Japanese people was not to be duplicated, certainly in short time, by any other individual"
 Divided Authority
 He. Vent on to say, however, that if Macarthur had been allowed to remain as occupation chief, while losing his post as LIN commander in the Korean war, the result would have been divided authority which might open up many confusions."
 Smith had suggested Macarthur was unnecessarily humiliated by be- ing removed from his Japanese command.
 Smith also asked whether the ad- ministration considered, in deciding to dismiss Macarthur, the possible effect on the pending peace treaty with Japan.
 Gag" Is Charged And he wanted to know whether John Foster Dulles was consulted in advance of the firing. Dulles is a Republican adviser to Secretary of State Acheson and has been hand ling preliminary negotiations re- garding the Japanese treaty.
 Marshall said Dulles was not con- suited. Only II of the 26 members of the combined Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees were in the room when Chairman Russell CD-Ga) rapped for order and the doors were closed. In advance of today's session,

Crop Estimates
Down Graded By
u. S. Government

WASHINGTON -lPl- Rising
meat and poultry production may
do an about-fact next year be-
cause of a grave feed shortage,
the governments downward re-
vision in final 1851 crop estimates
indicates.
Before the winter is over, in
fact, farmers in some areas which
import grains may have to begin
reducing livestock, dairy and
poultry production. Most-affected
areas would include New England
and the middle Atlantic states
rich in milk and poultry enter
prises.
The Agriculture Department
sliced 221, 100000 bushels off the
1951-52 corn marketing supply.
This already was down about as
low as afficials considered safe,
in view of the livestock popuia-
TONS size and demands, both ex-
isting and prospective for meat.
The department estimated this
years corn crop at 2,941,000, ,000
bushels. or a drop Of 147,000.000
from its November forecast. II
gave a revised estimate of 3,057,-
100000 for last year, a decline oi
100000 bushels. This latter re-
vision was based upon the 1850
agricultural census recently made
public.
The cut in last years estimate
had the effect of lowering the
corn reserve from 744,000.000
bushels as previously indicated, to
670,000,00O bushels.
At the prospective rate of use,
the corn reserve would be down
TO a dangerously low level of
about 100000 bushels by the
time the 1852 crop is harvested.
Officials had been counting on
495, 100000 bushels.
The nation could have a re-
serve of 275, 100000 bushels and
still have a severe shortage Of

and the supply of goods and SER
vices.
Second is by impounding. With
floods, you do this by building
dams and reservoirs on the head
waters. To inpound initiation you
try pay-as-you-go taxation, en-
courage or force saving, curb
installment and housing credits,
and raise interest rates to dis
courage loans and credit expan-
sion.
Third is by channelling or con-
tainment. With floods, you do this
with dikes and levees. To contain
initiation, you use direct controls
over prices and wages. If the
levee breaks, the flood is worse
than ever, however. And when
price and wage controls crack,
initiation can get out of hand.
Like most businessmen, Warren
prefers indirect controls of absor-
bing and impounding to the risks
and disadvantages of direct con-
trolls. But he comedies that both
direct and indirect controls may
be necessary to slow down a
strong inflationary movement.
THE best wa y to reverse an
initiation is to remove its cause,
he adds, to reduce government
debt and the volume of bank de-
posits and bank credit (the
money supply"
The best thing in the picture
at present, in the view of The
National City Bank, is "the so
berness with which SO many
people have regarded the out
look" The conservative produc-
tion and purchasing policies of
businessmen recently, it thinks,
accounts for much of the stabil-
ity of prices of late, and can
stave off further initiation.

NEW YORK -dPEInflation is
still public enemy No. / in the
opinion of many people-and not
all of them are in the govern
ment, by any means.
Some business executives are
worried enough about what might
happen to the value of the dollar
next year to be studying today
how to fight initiation on its own
ground.
Initiation is fancy word for
what most citizens know: the dol
lar doesn't buy as much as it
used to. Since 1889 the puchas-
ing power of the dollar has
shrunk by AZ per cent.
True, many citizens are lucky
enough to have more dollars
than they used to-and that also
is part and parcel of initiation
But the dollars seem to disappear
down the rat hole people know
as the high cost of living.
The jump in prices, so marked
after the Korean war started, has
slowed down to walk in recent
months. As a result of the pres
ent huh in trade, many business
men are worried about possible
deflation. They say that price
cuts are more likely these days
than price advances.
But against this. others in
business and finance warn of two
things: /. Initiation is tied closely
to popular psychology; and 2.
Government spending will hit its
peak next year, pouring billions
into the business stream at the
same time it is cutting back pro-
duction of civilian goods.
OF the part psychology plays,
the National City Bank of New
York says today in its Deem
Der letter: even worse than an
actual loss in the value of money
is contagion of fear that loss
of value, under some in-exorable
force or another. is going to con.
tinue indefinitely When money
loses value, and people say thai
it is going to keep on losing
value, there are erosive forces al
work.
Businessmen are asking: how
can we reverse the initiation tide
and lower the cost of living with,
out running the risk of a serious
slump, such as can get out ol
hand as easily as can Initiation?
One answer has been prepared
by a businessman for the tor
management of his own company
In this memorandum on initiation
B. b. Warren. treasurer of Gen.
eral Foods Corp, points out there
are three ways to control infla,
ton. just as there are three way:
to control floods.
First is by absorption. Will
floods, you do this by forestatior
and the like, to try to absort
water in the upper part of The
watershed. To absorb initiation
Warren says, you can do tho
trick by increasing production

grains for many farmers The
reserves are stored in the mid
west, mostly on farms where they
would be held for use rather than
sold.
Somewhat similar situations
during the past war and in 1913
forced some livestock liquidation.
The drop in the corn estimates
offset the effects of other devel-
opments. The total crop volume
this year was the third largest Of
record-being exceeded only in
1913 and 1949-and the combined
production Of crops and livestock
and livestock products was the
largest of record.
The situation is expected to lead
the department to inaugurate
soon livestock feed conservation
program designed to prevent
waste and to secure efficient use
of corn. It might even lead to
restrictions on the use of grain
for making whiskey and in cx-
ports. Such restrictions We're inn
posed during the past war.
The department already has
called upon farmers tc plant more
land to corn next year than this
year. 1t has set Q 1852 goal Of
3.3T5, 100000 bushels.
The decline in this years corn
crop is d result of both d smaller
harvested acreage and lower acre
yields than had been indicated
earlier.
The crop encountered many diff
ficulties, including early summer
floods in the Missouri River basin
and excessive rain in some areas
later in the growing season.
Also some corn was damaged
by early frost.
Aggravating the corn situation
is the further fact that much Of
it is soft and chaffy, reflecting
frost damage, and consequently
is of low eating value.
