Korean Shows Given
Despite Shortages,
Ex-0fficer Asserts
Story Thot Shells Were
Fired for Legislators
Denied by Van Fleet

LOUISVILLE, KY, Mar. 10
The Louisville Times in a copy
righted story today quoted a
former Army officer as saying
Army artillery in Korea has
been firing hundreds of shells
in shows" for visiting digni-
taries despite the current Juror
over charges of ammunition
shortages there.
The story, written by Edward
A. O'Neill, Times city editor,
identified the ex-oficer as Gar
nett Dick of Louisville. a former
lieutenant colonel who COM
manded an artillery battalion on
the central front in Korea for
seven months. He was quoted
as saying he had taken part in
three such shows last Septem-
Der; one of them for members
Of Congress.
Trying to Make Impression.
THE same thing was going
on all along the 'front.'" Mr.. Dick
said. He added that everyone
was trying to make a good i'm
preston with superiors and that
talk about the shows was COM
mon among Army men in Korea
(Gen. James A. Van Fleet,
former commander of the 9th
Army, was asked about the
Times story as he arrived on
Capitol Hill today to attend
an inquiry growing out of his
charges of ammunition short
ages in Korea.
C"There's no truth in it,,
I've got no other comment"
the general said.
"a spokesman for the Penta-
son said the Defense Depart
ment had nothing to add
pending receipt of further in
formation on the charge.)
The Times said Mr.. Dick als(
declared six helicopter landing
spots were carved out of a noun
tainSide by engineer troops so tn
visiting congressman would no
have to ride to the observation
post in jeeps on their Septembe
visit.
Mr.. Dick said the show for tn
Congressman was conducted Sep

servation post of Maj. Ger
Wayne Smith. who, at that time
was commander of the 7th Divi
sion. He identified the Congress

Hawaii Statehood Bill
Faces Big Test on
RecommittaI Today
Democratic Opposition
Develops Over Plan to
Delay Action on Alaska

The Hawaiian Statehood bill
today headed toward a crucial
vote on the House floor which
could result in its being sent
back to committee for the re-
mainder of this session of Con-
gress. .
Fast-growing opposition has
transformed what appeared to be
a sure thing a month ago into a
nip and tuck proposition. AS q
result, there may be another
blasting of the ambition of
Americas Pacific island chain to
become the 49th State.
Proponents as well as oppon-
ents agree that the vote on a
Democratic motion to recommit
the bill this afternoon will be
extremely close.
Chairman Miller of the House
Interior and Insular Affairs
Committee says he still believes
the bills supporters have enough
strength to beat back the recon-
initial motion. But he already
has suggested to a subcommittee
chairman that further hearings
be announced Immediately if the
motion to recommit should
carry.
Hope Still Seen.
The Nebraska Republican said
he does not believe recommittal
necessarily would mean the end
of Statehood this session. He
said the new hearing would be
designed to answer every argu-
ment made during debate, SO
that We could fix up the bill and
bring it in again before we ad-
journ this summer"
Democratic sources, however
took a less encouraging view, One
Democrat in position to know
said he believes the bill will bt
dead for this session of Congress
if it is returned - the commit
! tee, although it might possibly
be brought out again next year.
Opposition Analysed.
He analysed the opposition a!
coming from those who ARK
against adding off-shore terri
tory to the Union; those whit
resent the attempt to give Re-
publican Hawaii statehood with
out at the same time giving i
to Democratic Alaska; thos'
who fear the racial and politica
situation in the Islands, ant
those who are against addins
\ two members to the Senate ant
subiracting two Representative
from the present Is States in or
der to give Hawaii two seats il
the House.
Observers believe Democrats
resentment over Republican tao
tics may provide the margin e
votes needed to recommit tn
bill. Minority Whip McCormacl
of Massachusetts, indicated dur
ing yesterdays debate that man
Democrats feel the Republican
should take up both Hawaii an
Alaska at the same time evel
though Alaska has a Democrat
Legislature and would presum
ably send Democrats to Con
greSS.
The Democrats have Away
followed a policy of linking tn
two Statehood projects together
Many of them repeatedly ar
ready to vote against Hawa
simply because they feel tn
Republicans have introduced I'm
necessary partisanship into thei
presentation of the bill.

By John A. Giles

Gen. j. Lawton Collins told
Senators today there has never
been a shortage of ammunition
in the hands of our troops in,
Korea, either to repel an attack
that actually developed or to
conduct our own operations"
The Army Chief of Staff made
that fiat assertion at a closed
hearing Of the Senate Armed
Services Committee in the face
of charges of ammunition short
ages by Gen. James A. Van Fleet.
The latter, until recently, COM
mander of the 9Th Army in Ko-
rea, was present at the secret
session to hear testimony deny
ing shortages by Gen. Collins,
Defense Secretary Wilson and
Army Secretary Stevens.
Van Fleet Remains Firm.
Reports by Senators emerging
from the closed meeting indi-
Gated an argument was going on
among the witnesses and that
Gen. Van Fleet was remaining
firm in his contention that there
are critical shortages of ammu-
milton in Korea.
Senator Young, Republican, Of
North Dakota told reporters:
Gen. Van Fleet is not backing
up one bit and is even quoting
letters from Gen. Mark Clark to
back up his contentious.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat,
of Arkansas reported: LAS of
now Gen. Van Fleets position
seems to be firm and mistaken. p"
Chairman Ferguson of the
Senate Military Appropriations
subcommittee, which has also
announced a thorough investi-
cation of the charges, said: THE
Pentagon is talking about what
they think is required and Van
Fleet is talking about what he
thinks is required"
II don't find the statements
from the Pentagon dispute Van
Fleet one Bit"
. Plenty Due Soon, Wilson Says.
Secretary Wilson testified
enough ammunition will be
available soon to give the Bin
Army considerable latitude" in
determining whether there
should be "a more active type OF
operations.
His statement carried a hint
of possible early stepped UP
blows. or even a limited often
sive against the Communists.
Mr.. Wilson said ammunition
production has been expanded
rapidly in recent months. He
declared supplies in Korea are
adequate to meet present needs
Gen. Collins, in a prepared
statement made public by the
committee, admitted there might
have been isolated instances Of
shortages because of local diff.
f1culties of distribution.
He pointed out that Pentagor
authorities must consider each
military theater of operations
and the entire global situation
in making ALLEGATION of supplies.
Korea GraveSt Concern.
THE fighting in Korea is, O.
course, the graveSt concern O.
all of u.s." he stated. However
any examination of ammunition
supplies in Korea cannot be iso
lated from our ammunition sup
plies worldwide"
He said it was to be expected
that vigorous, aggressive com
manders will demand more ant
more ammunition.
But he added that even
theater commander must watcl
his supplies and that ALLEGATION
of ammunition to the 9th Arm
was necessary.
Ammunition stocks within
the 9Th Army are on the Who'll

THT MAJOR CAUSE Of
power loss, affecting the major
ity of cars on the road today,
is now known. And Shell Re-
search has overcome it.
Certain chemical deposits
constantly accumulate in the
combustion chambers and on
the spark plugs. In the combus-
tion chambers these deposits
become red hot and ignite the
fuel-air mixture prematurely.
This results in what engineers
refer to as wild ping" "a most
severe form of knock.
Similar deposits also build
up on spark plugs and cause
them to short-circuit.

Shells discovery of TCP additive has given
Shell Premium Gasoline the greatest competitiOr
adoartage that any gasoline eVer had lit the his
Tory of the petroleum industry.
Shell scientists worked over years to per-
feet the know how essential to the proper use
of TCP additive in automotve gasoline.
Originally Shell developed TCP for military
aviation.) Only Shell, and its authorized licen-
see-the Continental Oil Company-have the
full knowledge on the proper use of TCP addi-
tive. Only Shell Premium Gasoline and Conoco
Super Gasoline have TCP.
The trademark TCP is your guarantee that
you will get the full benefits of the greatest
gasoline development in 81 years.
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1953-12-03

proofs these deposits to stop
pre-ignition. 1t changes the
character of the deposits to
eliminate the short-circuiting
of spark plugs.
Recognized as the most i'm
portant gasoline advanef since
tetraethyl lead, Shell Premium
with TCP additive begins its
work with the first tankful. By
the time you've finished your
second, you'll feel your engine
has had a tune-up. Since the
deposits are constantly accu-
mulating, continued useofShell
Premium with TCP is the only
way to maintain these benefits.
TCP additive, blended into
Shell Premium, accomplishes
what no other gasoline addi-
tive has been able to do.
