April S, 1948, allied planes have
been shot at, shot down or have
disappeared in Europe near the
Iron Curtain or the corridors to
Berlin. The Russians did not ac-
cept responsibility for any of the
incidents. They either blamed the
allies for violating Communist ter
ritory or denied knowledge of any
shot-up or missing plane.
The first six incidents were
CALLING to the allies, but were not
threats to peace. The three at
tacks last week, coming just after
the new Malenkov regime was in
stalled, were thought to be more
serious. Perhaps the pudgy dicta-
tor was out to Cd demonstrate

was flown to Denmark's Bornholm

British and American officials,
though angry, did not see the at
tacks as a threat of war.
Apparently the allied reaction
would be to protest and then get
tough-order allied fighters to
shoot back when necessary.

Situation Now

If the Pentagon had had moth
ing to do since June, 1850, but
supply Korea, our present situa-
tion would bear no resemblance
to the one that actually prevails.
But in addition to the Korean
fighting, our stocks have been used
for domestic training and for the
not-inconsiderable buildup of for
eign forces under the Military
Defense Assistance Program.
With ammunition production
now going on in reasonable vol
ume, the situation is bound to
improve as long as nothing new
happens. But there are two
dangers, the less worrisome first:
l. Korea might stop any time,
and an oversupply of ammunition
might result before an orderly
showdown could take place.
2. A new war might break out,
causing an additional drain on the
ammunition industry which still is
nowhere near big enough to sup
port worldwide conflict.
It is this second possibility,
viewed in the light Of such recent
events as the shooting down of
planes in Germany (see below

the worlds largest ocean, the

Islands have given rise to as many

In the eye of the Hawaiian,

little to offer. And to the ques-
ton, what has Texas got that
Hawaii hasn't got?" the only
answer the Hawaiian could think
of was, Statehood"
This lack has been, the source
of infinite discomfort in the hearts
of Hawaiians throughout the SO
years the islands have existed as
an organized Territory of the
United States. This week, at last,
it began to look as If something

Situation in Factories

Appropriating money for ammu-
milton is not the same as shooting
off the completed round. A num-
ber of factors enter into ammu-
milton production that make the
"lead time" between appropriation
and detonation as long, in some
cases, as two years.
In the first place, getting con-
tractor-or number of contrac-
tors-is q problem. Businessmen
in a time of quasi-peace like the
present, like to do business with the
Government only if they know the
job will last a reasonable length
of time. And, until very recently,
no one has been able to make any
promises on this score.
Even with the contractors name
on the dotted line, there is a mat
ter of machinery. Ammunition is
an incredibly complex item to
manufacture - frequently almost
as involved as the gun that shoots
it, and expendable in much
greater quantities.
A Graphic ExompIe
Here, for instance, is a summary
of operations on just one round of
a type of ammunition we have
shot off by the millions since the
war began - the 05-millimeter
howitzer high-explosive shell:
This round has six components,
fuze, booster, shell, cartridge case,
propelling charge and primer. It
takes weeks to manufacture and
assemble, but can be fired in less
than a hundredth of second. It's
components are put together with
a number of complicated opera
tions ranging literally from nee
dlework to drop-forging.
The fuze for such a round as
this contains 20 metal parts, and
production of the fuze alone en-
tails 281 separate operations and
302 manufacturers inspections.
Each part, from fuze to primer,
is made under equally rigid con-
troll. After the manufacturer is
finished, the complete round un-
dergoes 1,185 separate inspections
by the Army.
There are n distinct metal
parts-of steel, copper, brass and
aluminum-in each round. The
largest-the forged steel shell cas-
ing - weighs % pounds; the
smallest, primer cup 5f32 inch
wide and 1/10 inch deep, weighs
less than 1/100 ounce. This tiny
cup is machined to the almost
unbelievable tolerance Of $4,000
inch.

Korea Situation

Though it would not seem pos
sible, it is likely that both generals
were right-within their own
private contextS.
Gen. James A. Van Fleet, re-
Gently returned from Korea as
commander of the 9th Army, said
his supply situation had been
acute. Gen. J. Lawton Collins,
Army Chief of staff, said the
worldwide situation was not so
bad.
What it boiled down to was the
fact that a general fighting on a
single front could feel a pinch
that did not exist generally. And
that pinch conceivably could be
quite beyond the control of every
one.
In Korea, this localized crisis
seems to have arisen at least in
good part from a primitive trans
portation network. South Korea
has two uSable ports, PuSan in the
extreme southeast, and Inchon, in
the central west. About 80 per
cent of Korea'S ammunition comes
through Pusan, 300 miles from the
front. One railroad and an in
different road net connect the port
and the battle line.
A million tons of ammunition
at Pusan would not help
American gunnerS at the front,
And only slightly more than half
the 9Th Army's authorized ammu-
milton load can come up that line.
What has resulted, then, is
chronic shortage of ammunition
at the guns. During the winter,
the solidly frozen highways have
been usable by ammunition trucks
and the gunnerS have been getting
up to tWo-thirds what they con-
ceivably could use. But with
spring on the way-and the thaws
the roads will become gummy
tracks, and their capacity will
decrease.
So the situation in the months
to come probably will get worse,
due entirely to local transport
difficulties. It will get better
again after the thaws end and the
highways become hard.

Far East Situation

Gen. Mark Clark, top man In
the Orient, says the supply situa-
ton is generally good. He is as
right as Van Fleet, from his own
point of view.
Details cannot be given because
they might disclose order-of-bat-
tie information of value to the
enemy. But here is how the sup
ply picture shapes up in the Far
East:
At the guns in Korea is a small
supply of ammunition-enough
for a day or so. This is replen-
ished each night in the normal
course of events. Renewed stocks
come from 9th Army dumps few
miles back, where several days
supply is kept on hand.
ReSupply of the Army dumps
comes from even farther back in
Korea, where the supply level is
expressed not in terms of days,
but of few weeks. And replen-
ishment of these Korean base
depots comes periodically from
Japan, where enough ammunition
is held to keep things going for
q considerably longer time.
To the gunner, things are tough
when he is down to his last 100
rounds. The Army depotS scream
when the supply on hand gets be-
low So-many days. The base depot
commanders are concerned about
stocks of greater magnitude. And
the theater as a whole has its own
definition of what is serious"
and what is a critical level of
supply. So whether ammunition
is short or plentiful depends not
only on who is talking, but what
he is talking about.

supplemental appropriation of
fiscal 1951-Which was passed in
January, 1951-that the Pentagon
got a sizable fund for ammu-
milton, about SIS billion. To
date, something more than Sc
billion has been appropriated for
ammunition; something less than
half that sum has been paid out.
The delay in spending this money
has been the subject of some criti-
cism, but the record seems to show
that performance to date has been
about as good as any one should
expect.

stands 81 inches high, and weighs
AZ pounds. Every time one is fired
off, it costs the taxpayer about
$25. There have been something
more than two dozen million fired
in Korea since war broke out.
Even after the Army gets con-
tractor, the first round of 1O5
howitzer shell cannot be turned
out until about a year after the
contract is let-provided an ade-
quite plant is in being. But virtu-
ally all our industry was disman-
tied after World War II, so the
"lead time" in most instances was
about 18 months, which included
six months to get the plant ready.
Then it takes about three months
more to get full production, and
another three months in transit
to the front.
From this data, it takes only a
little arithmetic to bring the situa-
tion up to date. The first big
money was allotted in January,
1851. Eighteen months for tool
ing-up brings us to mid-1952.
Three months more for full pro-
duction takes us to the fall of 1852.
And a final three months for
transportation brings us to early
1888. It has been only in the last
couple of months that large guam
titles of ammunition produced
during the Korean war have been
used in the Korean fighting.

TINE PROBLEM of ammunition

TINE PROBLEM of ammunition
supply-always a quietly
vexatious thorn in the Army'S
side-became a public headache
last week.
Amid charges and denials from
various military figures, Congress
and the public pondered two big
questions: Has the Army done
right by the fighting men in
Korea? Or has poor planning on
the home front resulted in needless
risk of American life on the freez-
ing battle line?
These we're crucial questions.
But more attention was drawn by
another, arising from conflicting
stories about ammunition supply
or the lack thereof. Who was
right, Van Fleet who said ammu-
milton was critically short, or
Collins who said it was not?
A special group of five Senators
was named last week to try to
find out.

Alaska-our other organized Terri
tory-was not part of Republican
doctrine. The reason, all high
falutin talk aside, was that Hawaii
is a Republican stronghold and
Alaska is normally Democratic.
This harsh political fact is not
the reason SouthernerS oppose
statehood for Hawaii. Their OBJ
lection, also political, is based on
race. Hawaii is, to its friends,
cosmopolitan; to it's enemies, mon
grelized. The last census showed
this breakdown of the Territory's
