WASHINGTON N-Some senti-

Gegy in the deadlocked Korean
War was evident here among SEN

"Sure, il there is sitdown and

Van Fleet said stocks we're so

Van Fleet replied he favors ebay

had been shortages of some types
of ammunition in Korea but he
said in his judgment "there is

are attacked or not, ard to carry

Van Fleet stuck to his position
that there had been serious and
even critical shortages of ammuni-
ton in the % months he COM
manded the Eighth Army in Ko-
rea.
At one time in May, 1851, he said,
"our dumps in Korea went to zero,

TRUCKERS ADVICE
FOLLOWED BY DRIVER

ST. LOUIS IN - Here's the
strange story Of how one man
stopped driving.
Francis E. Schwentler made q
sharp turn in front of truck back
in 1884. The irate truck driver
gave him a tongue flashing and
advised him to stop driving. He
did.
His new car was never driven
again.
The story came out with the fill
ing of an inheritance tax apprais-
er's report on Schwentler'S estate
in probate court. He died in 1851
at the age Of 80.
The 1884 Ford was found lacked
