Supply Adequate, Says Army.
The Army in Washington says
both vehicles and ammunition are
IN adequate supply in Korea. Am
munition is being rationed, it ad-
mitS, because World War II
stocks are nearly gone and pro-
duction still does not equal normal
battle expenditures. Also, ration
ing. Is a normal procedure to pre-
vent waste. There is no reason
why a front-line soldier cannot
get ammunition for his weapon,
the Army says.
In the past, during periods of
heavy fighting, there have been
occasional shortages of hand
grenades and sandbags, but there
is no shortage now, Army spokes-
men say. The 9th Army was
necessarily equipped with rebuilt
vehicles originally. They should
not be discarded so long as they
are useful, the military declares
The Army has worldwide commit
ments. and the supply of equip
ment must be allotted in view of
these.
The Army is using late model
tanks that were not in existence
during World War II, the Penta-
gon points out.
Planes and Flyers Needed.
The Air Force says it needs more
alrplanes and men to bring it to
the strength necessary in view of
the world situation. It, too, has
worldwide commitments. If more
planes were available, the Air
Force says, naturally our forces
everywhere would be stronger.
The Communists cannot ooin
air superiority "any day they want
TO-, the AF says, but admits that
the Red air force poses a potential
threat to our superiority in Korea
The ground troops are tired
despite good rations and high
standard living conditions. Re
gardless of their complaints. their
morale is not low.
No one in Korea says men should
not go home when their turn
comes, but the seasoned soldiers
are worried about what might
happen if the Communists end
the stalemate and open a new Of
fenslve. They don't want green
troops there to stop that drive.

Reds Now Insistinu
On Daily Truce Talks;
Stress Koje trouble
By the Associated Prexs

MUNSAN. Korea. May IA
Communist negotiators announced
today they will insist on daily
truce talks-meetings the Allied
command says the Reds have
turned into propaganda attacks
which contribute nothing" toward
peace in Korea.
The Red announcement came
from North Korean Gen. Nam II.
He said the Communists would
not accept the Allies proposed
armiStice package but gave no
hint the Reds would offer a new
solution Of their own.
He made it clear the Reds have
no intention of breaking off ne
gotiationS. He has been doing
almost all of the talking at recent
meetings.
Today he injected the Koje
Island prison camp kidnapping of
Brig. Gen. Francis T. Dodd into
the negotiations.
Quote CarlSOn'S Words.
The general charged the Allies
were treating prisoners inhumane-
ly. He said this was proved by
concessions which Brig. Gen.
Charles F. Colson granted Red
prisoners last week to effect Gen.
Dodd's release. The wording
which Gen Nam II quoted was
previously labeled by the United
States military command in
Washington as misleading.
Gen. Colson was replaced yes
terday as Koje commandant.
Vice Admiral c. Turner Joy said
Gen. Nam II brought up the new
est incident on Koje solely Ito
propaganda from this tent rath-
er than act seriously in interest of
an armistice."
'It is equally apparent" Ad-
miral JOY told Nam, that the
major reason for such obstruction
tactics is your fear of open joint
screening Of prisoners of war, con-
Quoted under fair and equitable
circumstances"

Screening Of prisoners, and
what they said during the process,
is the basis of the Allied armistice
package, the issue over which
talks are deadlocked. and a mott
