Fiscal 1854 Budqef
For Military 10 Total
About $40 Billion

The military budget for fiscal
1854, now about ready for pre-
sentation to President Truman
will be approximately $40 billion:
it was learned yesterday.
This figure is less than for
the current year, fiscal 1858. But
the total expenditures in the '54
year are expected to be no lower,
the extra money coming from un-
expended balances of previous
years.
For the current fiscal year the
armed services presented a bud
get OF SIS billion. It was cut to
$50 billion in the White House
and then to SAT billion by Con-
gress.
The total available, however
was SLOT billion, counting the $50
billion unexpended balances.
Toughest Budget
Assistant Secretary of Defense
w. j. Mcneil. while declining to
give the figures for the forthcom-
ing appropriation request, de-
scribed it as "the toughest budget" /"
He added. But by all odds it's
preparation went off the smooth
est"
Mr.. Mcneil said the Defense De-
partment this year is writing
checks against the 1858 appropria-
tions as well as against those of
the two previous years. He esti-
mated the unexpended carryover
again will be $50 billion.
One feature of the new budget,
it developed, will be the absence of
any funds-or only a small amount
asked for tanks. Earlier ap-
preparations were based on expec-
tations of getting into major pro-
duction earlier than occurred. The
result is unexpended balances for
tanks.
Switching to Heavy Tanks.
With five tank producers in op-
Grafton it is planned now to switch
production at the Detroit Tank
Arsenal from medium tanks to
heavies.
Also. with output of some weap-
ons rising. the Government is fac
ing the problem Of maintaining
production facilities at high eff
cheney without being burdened
with a flood of materials for which
there is no immediate need.
The problem is being studied
now. One possibility suggested is
that Government-owned manufac-
turing plants be laid up lin
grease" while privately owned
plants be kept operating even on
reduced schedules.

CENTRAL FRONT, KOREA.
Sunday, Nov. 2.-The allies have
come to their hour of decision in
the battle for the Kumhwa ridges.
They must call it off as ruinous-
ly expensive in men and material,
or they must raise the ante and
win it once and for all in a major
operation of war.
For 20 days, Americans and
Koreans-mostly Koreans-have
pecked away at the twin heights
of Triangle Hill and Sniper Ridge
just northeast of Kumhwa in
more than a score of battalion at
tacks.
The fighting has cost the
Chinese an estimated 10000 to
$4,000 killed or wounded, the
equivalent of a Red division.
Price Is Startling.
The allies have paid a price in
blood and ammunition that has
shaken U. N. commanders and
will jolt the public when the full
cost is disclosed.
This three-week battle is thu
second bloodiest engagement ir
the % months of the Korean wal
| in the loss of highly trainee
troops. 1t is surpassed only by ths
9th Army's disastrous defeat o.
1850 in North Korea.
But in 1850. though some divi
sionS were hit hard, the losse
were shared by the Army as {
whole. The Kumhwa battle ha,
been much more concentrates
with only small part of the Stl
Army engaged.
Most of the loss has faller
on the surprisingly though new
Korean army. although the Unitet
States 7th Division paid a pric,
for its early share in the Triangl,
battle.
Russians Help Artillery.
The key to this difficult battle 1.
the extraordinary performance o.
the Chinese artillery. This the
Chinese have been developing
with Russian help at the same
time the United States has beer
rebuilding the Republic of Korea
army.
This is the explanation for the
pullback from Triangle and tn.

and recaptureS OF Pinpoint Hill,
the crest of Sniper Ridge.
Under the hail of red shelling,
Allied infantrymen could not
properly fortify their positions to
withstand a heavy counterattack.
This problem is partly local and
might not be Troublesome in an
other sector. Here, Osong Noun
tain rises Immediately in front of
the Allies and gives the Reds un-
Iparalleled observation, jumpoff
positions and plenty of ravines
and caves for their artillery.
Psychological Factor.
There is another bad factor too,
and it is psychological-the Chi
|nese apparently cannot tolerate
Ia defeat by the Korean Army.
When this fight started. Allied
officers .budgeted it as a tough
but typically limited hill attack,
Instead, it has turned into the
Verdur of the Korean war.
It is just possible that if an
American or other strictly U. N
units had tackled the job, the
Chinese might nave spent what
they thought was proper and then
withdrawn to their main positions
on Osong. The Kumhwa ridges
are not as important to the Reds
as they are to the Allies.
Now q Grudge Fight.
But with Koreans fighting the
main battle. the Chinese have
been led into a grudge fight. II
would be calling for the Com.
munist Chinese generals to take
a defeat from the Korean Army
One of the real surprises o1
the battle has been the proof by
fire that the Korean Army, despite
some imperfections, is a splendid
fighting force with terrific morale
The creators of that army, led by
9th Army Commander Gen. James
A. Van Fleet, can be proud of theil
work.

The Dmbars have not found a single
retired-to- do-nothing person who has lived to
be 100! All keep busy at something they
enjoy. For to become centenarian it is not
only important to work; the work must be
pleasant. If your job isn't fun, look around
till you find one that is.
This Dunbar discovery is of great national
significance, because the problems presented
by our increasing age span have suddenly
become acute.
In the last 10 years. the number of people

WHY do some people live to be 100 or
w more while Others. even in the same
family, die at so. 60 or 20? Probing this age
old question, scientists have discovered that
your chances for super-longevity may be
determined as much by your personality as
by your physique. A continuing study, now
IN its second year, has produced some brand
new facts about how you might live vigorously
and happily through ripe old age.
The emerging picture of what you should
be like to live to be 100 is called personality
profile. 1t is the work of physiological psy-
biologist Francis Dunbar, Of Cornell Univer-
sity, and Psychiatrist Flanders Dunbar, author
of Mind and Body" Assembled from de-
tailed case histories of more than 20 per cent
of the 1,5OO known white centenarians in the
US, the profile was presented at the second
International Chronological Congress in st.
Louis. 1t upset good many popular notions.
Here are some:
The capacity for super-IOngeUity is in
herited. Not true The parents of CEN
tenarians die as young as, or younger than, the
general population.
Large families shorten parents iues.
1t doesn't look that way. Centenarians
have an average of 3.9 children each and
broods of 10 and 20 are not uncommon. (The
average for the U.S. today is 16 children per
family.)
Care by loving children makes possible
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-06-15

extra-Iong life. As matter of fact, most
centenarians won't live with their children.
They like to be independent. They more often
help to support descendants than are sup
ported by them.
continuous ser life reduces longevity.
Believe it or not, good number of CEN
tenarians are sexually potent and active.
Many have married after reaching 100.
The older people grosO the more irrita-
bic they become. This may be true of some
old people, but not centenarians. They stay
good-humored all their lives. The angry,
crotchety oldsters almost never live to be 100
Though many get to be 80 and 49,.
An easy life is a long life. Wrong again
- though many can afford 70 take life easy,
centenarians almost invariably work hard all
their lives.
ON THE basis of this last point, you who
aspire to live as long as you can may need
to revise future plans drastically Most of us
want to retire to "enjoy ourselves" as soon
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-06-15

To achieve maximum uniformity the Dun
bars restricted their study mainly to literate
white centenarians. Their average age is los.
The oldest is l25; the Oldest backed with
birth certificate, lis. No centenarian was
found in mental institution. Centenarians
aren't "accident-prone" they are above aver
age in income and education and they suffer
almost none of the common illnesses of old age.
The more we learn about centenarians the
more enjoyable becomes the prospect of
life that leads to super-longevity. For if you
are likely to live to be 100 you will be rarely
i'll, even while young. You will seldom worry
at any time in your life. And you will always
have an abundance of friends.
If you're making plans to join the CEN
tenarian brigade, you'll probably want to
know the answers to several questions:
Viii marriage help? 1t seems essential
Ninety-eight per cent of all centenarians have
married at least once and 80 per cent have
wed twice or more Divorce is rare and
