Motoriststo Be PoIIed
For Data on Placing
OF Potomac Bridge
Cards to Be Passed Out
To Drivers This Week
At a River Spans
BY George Beveridee

District highway officials one
morning this week will ask an
estimated 10000 Washington
bound motorists crossing Po-
tomac River bridges to supply
data to help resolve arguments
over the location Of a new
bridge.
In a vast project to gather
what highway planners call
origin and destination" data,
postcard Questionnaires will be
handed to all motorists crossing
the Highway. Memorial, Key and
Chain Bridges between the hours
of Z am. and 9 pm.
The officials didn't name the
day, but said it would be typ
ical weekday" morning. Autos
will not be stopped, but will be
tagged down to the point the
cards can be distributed.
f.. Asks Three Questions.
The QUESTIONABLE will ask only
three simple questions: Where
did the trip start? Where did it
end? Is the vehicle a passenger
car or truck? The self addressed
cards will require no postage.
The key answer officials are
looking for is the number of cars
using bridges during peak hours
which are bound for downtown
Washington, and the number
which pass through the central
section bound for other desti-
nations.
District officials obviously hope
the figures show enough traffic
is destined for the central part
of town to back up their claim
that another central-area bridge
is needed now. They are ex-
pected to ask Congress soon to
approve a span leading from E
street NV. to the Arlington
shore, between Memorial and
Key Bridges.
Opponents of the E street pro-
poSal, however, have argued that
many motorists using the bridges
actually want to go beyond the
central area, and therefore could
be served better by upriver or
downriver bridges which would
circumvent congestion on down.
town streets.
Studies Based on Full Day.
While such destination studies
have been made in the past, they
always have been on a basis of
24-hour bridge use. officials
questioning the Districts posi-
ton argue that the morning and
evening peak hours are the only
times the bridges are really con-
gested. and that the data during
those times is what is needed.
Two weeks ago, in opposing
the E street proposal, the Ma
tional Capital Planning Commis-

Senators to Examine
Charges Of Failure
In Fiscal Methods
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Senate Armed Services
Committee yesterday ordered an
investigation of the way the
Defense Department handles
money.
Chairman Saltonstall named
a subcommittee composed of
Senators Flanders, Republican,
of Vermont; Byrd, Democrat, Of
Virginia, and Case. Republican.
of South Dakota to direct the
inquiry.
Senator Saltonstall said In a
statement that the department
had failed to establish business
like fiscal procedures" ordered
by Congress six years ago. He
said it should have been pos
sible to save great sums of money
and avoid many costly mistakes.
Controllers Required.
When Congress unified the
Army. Navy and Air Force in
1947 under the new Defense De-
partment. Senator Saitonsta,l
said. it accepted a provision by
Senator Byrd requiring that spe-
cial MANAGEMENT or controller
sections be set up in each Of
these agencies.
AS evidence that this had not
been done. Senator SaltonStau
pointed to two recent Senate
investigations:
The probe of the ammunition
shortages in Korea headed by
Senator Margaret Chase Smith,
Republican. of Maine. The in
quiry group sharply criticized
Army and Defense Department
procurement and accounting
methods.
Investigation last week of costs
and methods of awarding con-
tracts for C-119 Flying Box
cars" to Kaiser-Fra Corps

Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire, who heads that
inquiry, found much to criticize
here.
Failures to Be Aired.
1.-THE subcommittee will look
into specific areas where the law
has failed to function and will
report on the results of these
failures" Senator Saltonstall
said, adding:
"The American people are en-
titled to know the truth con-
corning past mistakes. and what
these mistakes cost"
Senator Saltonstall said the
staff for the special inquiry will
include Fran Schneider, who
helped draft the special section
of the 1947 Unification Act, and
Carter Burgess, State Depart

Much Of Lost
Ground in East
Infantry ButtIing
At Close Quarters
In Light of Flares
BY the Associofed Press

SEOUL, Sunday, June T.
South Korean infantrymen,
battling at close quarters by the
light of flares, early today re-
gained more than half the east
ern front ground they lost to
North Korean Reds yesterday.
Frontline reports said the ROK
troops drove the Communists
back 800 yards, regrouDed. and
again pushed their counter
attack slowly forward.
The Reds drove 500 yards into
allied territory east of Luke the
Cooks Castle yesterday. The
South Koreans launched their
counteroffensive Saturday night.
Truce Buffer Zone.
Three miles to the east, about
ITS North Koreans aimed a two
pronged blow at a hill position
held by the ROKs. A United
States 9th Army briefing officer
said they retreated 10 minutes
later after losing % killed and
IL wounded.
This continuing Red punch in
the east, made while reports
from Panmunjom indicated
near agreement on an armistice.
suggested the possibility the
Communists were bidding for a
new truce buffer-zone.
In recent weeks, Chinese and
North Koreans have captured
more than a dozen allied out
posts and three mail line posi-
tions. The lost territory, how
ever, amounts to only a few
square miles.
Quarter Mile Penetration
In a smashing attack yester-
day, between 75O and 1000
North Koreans overran three
South Korean outposts ahead Of
the main line. Then the REIN
forced Red battalion socked into
the line itself in four spots east
of Luke the Cooks Castle, some
20 miles inland from the east
coast.
The Reds drove more than a
quarter mile deep into allied
territory in a two-pronged at
tack in which they hit at points
about 500 yards apart. The line
between the penetrations sagged
and the Reds poured through.
Fighting has been almost con-
tinuous in the rugged eastern
sector since Monday when the
Reds got their first foothold on
an outcropping ridge of Luke's
Castle. BY last night, the Reds
held about half of the forward
ridge.
On the eaSt-central front,
soldiers of the 5th Korean Divi-
sion fought desperately against
about 750 Chinese Reds for an
outpost on Bloody Ridge, 13
miles east of Kumsong.

New Storm Of Protest.
Even as the meetings were in
progress, high South Korean
government officials in Seoul
kicked up new storm Of pro-
test over the new Allied truce
proposal. National Assembly
spokesmen charged the Panmun-
JON talks were another Munich.
1t was at Munich that England's
Prime Minister Chamberlain ap-
peased Adolph Hitler before the
outbreak of World War II.
And for the first time in nearly
two years of negotiations. South
Korea was not represented in the
talks, even by a liaiSon officer.
Col. Lee 500 Young. liaiSon
officer, packed his bags and left
Munsan, making the South Ko-
rean boycott complete.
South Korea's violent opposi-
ton to any truce that would
leave the country divided was an
ominouS counterpart to surging
optimism in Western and Com
munist capitals that an armiStice
was near. The stormy little ma
ton has threatened to keep on
fighting unless it's terms are met.
POWs Are Major Issue.
The major block to a truce was
the disposition of Communist
prisoners of war who may re-
fuse to return to Red rule even
after their own people have
talked with them and political
conferences of the warning ma
tions has discussed their Situa-
ton.
Authoritative South Korean
sources reported these moves 'up
to today on the POW problem
in the secrecy -cloaked talks:
The United Nations command
suggested May Is that the U.N.
General Assembly be given the
final responsibility for such priS-
oners. The Communists replied
Thursday that the U. N. was a
belligerent and asked the allies
to withdraw their proposal.
Indications were yesterday that
the u. N. Command was willing
to drop the general assembly pro-
posal if prisoners who remain
unwilling to go home could be
released to civilian status In
South Korea four months after
an armistace.
Minor Points Discussed.
A high South Korean source
said the delegates discussed at
Yesterdays 19-minute meeting
two minor" points which had
been raised by the Communists.
The Allies offered to permit
about $50 Red agents into South
Korea to make explanations" to
POWS resisting repatriation. The
Reds asked 900 and the Allies
earlier had proposed $50.
Also the Allies asked the Reds
what type and number of radio
facilities such agents would re-
quire to communicate with their
homelandS. The Communists
had asked for that privilege.
Reports were widespread that
these matters could be settled
quickly and pave the way for an
early arminStice.
But the mounting hopes for
a truce were interlaced with ten
sion in Scout and Washington
caused by South Korean oppo-
sition.
