Automobile shock absorbers cost

Chinese Reds Claim
Abundance of Oil
BY the Associoted Press

SAN FRANCISCO.-The Chi
nese Communists say they now
have an abundance" Of petro-
leum in China. but give no pro-.
duction totals. The Peiping ra-
dio, in a broadcast heard by the
Associated Press in San Fran
cisco, said the present output of
crude oil was IL per cent above
the highest prewar levels: gaso-
line was up 231 per cent and ker-
oSene 687 per cent.
The figures. however, meant
little because China's prewar
petroleum output was limited
mainly to Kansu Province and
production there was not large.
(Only ID wells were reported in
operation in 1914, no production
f1gures were given. because of the
war with Japan.)

Radford Assures
Formosa Of Backing
After Korea Truce
By the Associated Press

TAIPEH, Formosa, June 5.
Admiral Arthur w. Radford,
future chairman Of the United
States Joint Chiefs of Staff. to-
day assured Nationalist China of
continued United States support
after a truce is signed in Korea.
Asked if he considers it in the
permanent strategic interest of
the United States to have For
mosa in friendly hands. the out
going United States Pacific Fleet
commander said:
IT certainly do"
There is no reason to fear, he
said in an interview, that a Ko-
rean armistice would cause the
United States to relax in any
way its measures to insure sta
bility of the Far East and its
measures against further Com
munist aggression elsewhere.
Cites Need To Be Prepared.
He said he didn't know if an
arrnistice would be followed by
other Chinese aggressions in
Southeast Asia, but warned, 1--WE
should be prepared to counter
them"
Admiral Radford said he had
been publicized as an Asia first
man, but that had not been his
approach.
1t is ridiculous to talk of Asia
first or Europe first, he said, be-
cause the problem of commu-
nism is global.
Admiral Radford said his five
day mission here is in the nature
of q look k-around before taking
over as chairman of the Joint
Chiefs. He also will visit Japan
and Korea. He leaves here to-
morrow.
FavOrS Rearmed Japan.
The admiral has conferred
with Nationalist and American
military leaders on mutual mill
tary problems and defense of
FormoSa. He said: 1T is quite
clear that the overall potential
of this island has increased con-
siderably since my last visit Qast

Admiral Radford said he favorS
a rearmed Japan. Asked if ia
pan would take part in case war
broke out elsewhere in the Far
East, he replied:

The Federal Spotlight
54Budget Calls for Navy Cut,
Rise in Army and AF Jobs
The Federal Spotlight
By Joseph Young

President Eisenhower's 1854
defense budget calls for the
elimination of $4,000 Navy De-
partment civilian jobs and the
addition of $4,000 in the Army
and Air Force Departments.
Also. 355 of the 1891 civilian
jobs in the Office of the Secre-
tary of Defense here would be
abolished.
Under the budget requests now
before Congress, the Navy would
cut it's present 453,00O civilians
to 100000. The Army would in
crease from its present 48O, 900
civilian staff to 486, 900, and the
Air Force would increase from
303, 900 civilians to $4,000. The
1891 civilians in the Office of
the Secretary of Defense would
be trimmed to 1886.
Navy Jobs Hit.
In Washington, in addition to
the 355 reduction in civilian jobs
in the Secretary of Defense's
Office. about 1900 Navy posi-
tions would be abolished. An
increase of about TOO Air Force
civilian jobs and 600 Army jobs
would be provided for.
These personnel estimates,
however. are subject to lot of
change. For one thing, the en-
ployment requests represent the
administrations maximum esti-
mates.
These estimates have no con-
nection with the 10000 jobs cut

An encouraging Communist
counter proposal in the Korean
truce negotiations was under
careful study here today as State
and Defense Department Off
cials drafted fresh instructions
for U. N. negotiators in apparent
confidence an agreement to end
the fighting may finally be near.
There were varying degrees
of optimism among American
officials about peace prospects
as the Communists were reliably
reported to have come around
very close to the latest U. N.
command terms.
Indications were that some
officials were fully confident that
truce is just around the cor
ner, while others felt encouraged
but still wary of possible gim-
micks in the Communist coun-
terproposal delivered at Panmun-
JON Wednesday night.
Official secrecy shrouded de-
tails of the Communist reply
and what the next allied move
NAV he. White House Press
Secretary James C. Hagerty
told reporters yesterday the pro-
posals are being studied and
that's all he could say.
Reliable reports here and in
Panmunjom were that apparent
| ly only minor differences re-
manned to be negotiated in view
of the closeness of the Commu-
mist reply to the U. N. proposals.
Only one big issue has dead
locked the negotiations for
months. This is the question OF
how to handle prisoners of war
T. in U. N. hands who refuse to
! return to Communist control.
The U. N. command has taken a
firm stand against forcing them
to return.
In it's repeatedly final" offer
10 days ago, the U. N. proposed
compromises on some details OF
how to handle the problem, how
ever.
It agreed that all prisoners
should be turned over to the
jurisdiction of a neutral commits
sion Immediately after an arml-
stice, dropping an earlier pro-
posal to free Immediately in
South Korea $4,000 North Ko-
reans who refuse to return home.
The problem of prisoners still
resisting repatriation would be
submitted to a political confer
ence. If that conference failed
| to settle their fate in a speci-
fed time, the decision would
then be up to the U. N. General
Assembly, according to reports
| from Korea.
| There were some indications
Evening star., 1953-06-05

during the past few months in
the three defense agencies rs
a result Of Secretary wilson's
retrenchment program.
The reduced employment cell
ing is still in effect, and the in
creases authorized for the Army
and Air Force Departments can
take effect only when Mr.. Wilson
lifts the ceiling. Defense ofiicials
said future events will determine
whether this will be done.
Air Force Possibilities.
Another factor is the current
controversy over whether the Air
Force should get more money. II
Congress does vote the Air Force
more money, the Department
would be able to hire more civil
ians than contemplated in the
administrations budget. If that
happens, it might be at the ex-
pense of the Army and Navy De-
partmentS.
Key members of the House
Appropriations Committee have
their own ideas on how eco
Monies can be affected in the
Defense Department. The COM
mittee's forthcoming bill will
give a reasonably good answer
as to how civilian employees in
the three defense agencies will
fare.
Korea Outcome Figured.
Still another factor is the
Korean war. Should an imme-
diate truce be reached, there
undoubtedly would be a share
decrease in civilian employment.
Navy's proposed $4,000 reduc-
ton in civilian jobs would be
much greater, and the contem-
plated increases for the Army
and Air Force Departments
would be wiped out. The two
departments would reduce their
civilian staff rather than In
crease it.
Since February. the defense
agencies have done little hiring.
with the result that q good por-
ton of the civilian personnel
reductions have been achieved
by not filling vacancies.

Alexandra Man.
Convicted in Death Of
.2Women in Collision

An Alexandria man yesterday
was convicted of involuntary
manslaughter in the traffic
deaths of two Government en-
ployeS on May II, 1852.
An Alexandria Federal Court
jury deliberated about an hour
before returning the verdict
against Horace N. Pulley. 26, of
the 100 block of Duke street.
His attorney. T. Brooke How
ard, was granted five days by
Judge Albert v. Bryan in which
to file a written motion to set
aside the jury's verdict.
Pulley was the driver of a
panel truck which collided with
a car driven by Mrs. Mary Null
len Sabbow, "a, a Fort Belvoir
secretary. Mrs. Sabbow and a
passenger, Miss Frances Fay Fin
ley, IS, a Department of Defense
employe, were killed. A passenger
in the truck, Dudley Dodson, 36,
of Fairfax station, died two days
later.
The accident, in which Pulley
received serious injuries, &C.
Cured on Mount Vernon boule-
ward.
Mr.. Howard based Pulley'S de-
fense on the contention the
panel truck did not cross the
road as police declared, but was
in the passing lane and the car
driven by Mrs. Sabbow crossed
into the passing lane while COM
ing in the opposite direction.
The prosecution witness teSti-
fed the panel truck was on the
wrong side of the road and driv-
ing without lights when the ac-
cident occurred.

Back Allied Outposts
BY the Associated Press

SEOUL, June 5.-American
Sabre jet pilots bagged eight
Communist MIG jets. probably
destroyed one and damaged five
in air battles high over North
Korea today.
Maj. Vermont Garrison of
Tulsa, became the wars 32nd jet
ace by downing his fifth MIG,
the Air Force said.
It was the second time this
month that Sabres and MICS
have tangled. One MIG was
shot down and one damaged
Tuesday.
On the ground, South Korean
infantrymen fought with bayo-
nets and grenades in an effort
to win back Allied outposts
which the Reds may claim if an
early armiStice haltS the bloody
3-year-old war.
ROKs Fight Hand to Hand.
The tough ROKs were fighting
hand-to-hand with Chinese and
North Koreans at some points
along the muddy eaSt-central
and eastern fronts where bitter
battles have ragged all week.
Truce negotiators agreed in
November, 1851, that the cease
fire demarcation line would be
along a line of contact across
Korea. Since then the main
battle line has changed little,
but in recent weeks the Reds
have grabbed important outpoSts
in the west and a number of
advance Allied positions in the
center and on the eastern end
of the line.
Observers said the Reds could
be expected to claim the line
Of contact was south of Allied
outposts they have seized-out-
posts which in many cases guard
the main United Nations line.
