Savings About $4,000.
The Williamsburg carries a
crew of 116 men, and her gross
operating costs are about $780,
600 a year. Mr.. Hagerty ex-
planned. however. that the actual
saving would be only about

Taken Over During War.
The Williamsburg. formerly
the yacht Aras, was the property
of Hugh Chisholm, owner of the
Bath Iron Works. It was taken
over by the Navy in World War
II and served as a convoy flag
ship in the Atlantic. President
Truman acquired it in 1916. He
often used the boat on his Key
West visits and in 1948 went
to Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands
and Cuba aboard the ship.
The Williamsburg never was
a particularly good sailer, and
in heavy weather, riding on her

when it became evident that
anti-American feeling was being
whipped to a higher pitch.
A meeting of the Americans
was called at Mr.. Bryant'S home
to consider safety measures. 1t
had scarcely begun when a mob
was reported approaching. AL
though the Americans had asked
for police protection, only one
policeman was on hand.
Autos Communicated.
The lone army captain, with
threats and gestures with a gun,
held back the mob while the
Americans climbed into cars and
commandeered taxis and escaped
ahead of the crowd. All exist
from the neighborhood except
one street had been blocked by
the mob.
Premier Mossadegh's govern
ment declared martial law at
Shiraz and dismissed the gov
ernor of the area, Gen. Mo-
hammed Nakhjavan. Gen. Nakh-
javan declared, however, that
he had warned the government
against permitting the pro-
Mossadegh demonstration, which
started the trouble. He ap-
parently washed his sands of
the situation when his warning
was disregarded.
The Americans homes were
little damaged, and they were
expected to return to their quar-
ters today. Emergency supplies
and equipment were being flown
to Shiraz to enable the office to
resume operations promptly.
Some looted supplies have been
recovered.
Cause Still Obscure.
Theories of the cause of the
disorder are still tangled. But
authoritative sources agreed the
anti-American outburSt was not
a true outgrowth of clashes be-
tween supporters of Premier
MoSsadegh and the Shah such as
those at Dizful and Abadan.
Three persons were reported
killed at DiZful.
The government charges that
the raiders were inspired by Brit
ish provocateurs or by Premier
MoSsadegh's opposition, seeking
to discredit his governments
ability to keep order and thus
weaken it in American eyes.
One conjecture is that Ghash-
gahi tribal leaders stirred up a
plot to get rid of antagoniStic
local military authorities ap-
pointed by Premier Mossadegh in
the hope they would be replaced
by more sympathetic officials.

Reserve Supply Of Ammunition

Attacked Because of Van Fleets Testimony

suggested that we offer a truce
to the enemy our field COM
manders were about to start
a major offensive which had
all the earmarkS of complete
success.
Our stockpiles were then not
much larger than we have to-
day. But the enemy was SO
short of all types Of ammuni-
ton that our supplies would
have been more than ample to
do the job.
There have been recent sug-
geStionS-which will be thor
oughly probed during the COM
ing investigation-that the
political men then in Office de-
cided to provide only limited
quantity of ammunition for
the troops in Korea-enough
for defensive purpoSes-in
order to prevent an all-out of
fenSive in the unlikely event
that the public demanded such
an action. The Government
could have resisted such pres
sure by pointing out that our
forces did not possess the
necessary large supplies of am
munition and that we might
risk a worse setback than we
suffered in the fall of 1850
when the Chinese Reds went
to the rescue of the defeated
North Koreans.
In spite of the prevailing
rumorS that the new admins
tration intends to put an end
to the Korean war by force if
diplomatic means prove of no
avail as in the past, we still do
not have sufficient supplies of
war to carry on an offensive
action at an early date.

No Program and Proud Of 1t!
Yet Mr.. Benson Finds Much to Talk About, Perhaps
Too Much-Better Example Set by Humphrey

The glib boys have a way
of coming to grief in Wash
ington and, this being fairly
we'll understood, there are
those ready to predict a short
life and a merry one for Ezra
Taft Benson. Or, if he is a
sensitive soul, perhaps not too
merry one. It is a precari-
Gus post. that of the Secretary
of Agriculture. and the wise
incumbent spends as much of
his time as possible in his
storm cellar, as little as pos
sible out in the open inviting
the winds to blow him down.
If he lasts long enough, Mr..
Benson may become wise.
One cabinet colleague with
whom he might take useful
counsel in this respect is the
Secretary of the Treasury. Mr..
Humphrey. You can count on
your thumbs the number of
department heads in the new
administration who have thus
far escaped the sort of pub
licity they all would like to
escape and one of the thumbs
would represent Mr.. Hum
phrey. Matter Of fact, Mr..
Humphrey has managed to
escape any kind of publicity.
No wisecracker, he. If he
considers that what's good for
the M. A: Hanna company is
good for the country, he hasn't
said so out loud.
There's a story going around
concerning Mr.. Humphrey and
it may be true. In a very early

siStants, SO it is told, the ques-
ton of public relations was
broached. Who was to do the

the various branches thereof?
Nobody, the Secretary is re-
ported to have replied, nobody
for the first six months. After
that, he is said to have said,
I'VE may have something to
talk about"
Mr.. Benson is different. He
started talking even before he
reached Washington and he
hasn't yet stopped. To the
assembled press this week he

tions. But these are strictly
defensive actions intended to
hold the enemy back. With the
exception of a few skirmishes
in which we have taken the
initiative since July. 1851. the
allied ground forces in Korea
have been under strict orders
to consider the truce parleys
still in effect and not to at
tempt any offensive actions.
There was a time, however,
when the ammunition supplies
were not sufficient. it is said,
to meet an all-out Red offen-
Sive.
According to friends of the
former Assistant Secretary of
Defense, Mrs. Anna Rosenberg,
the main complaint she heard
from the GIs during her last
trip to the battle front was the
lack Of ammo. She did not feel
that she could make a public
issue out Of this because she
had nothing to do with supply
and materiel matters, but was
concerned exclusively with
personnel matters.
There is no question that
this critical situation has been
remedied-as much is it could
be in five months. No reports
have been heard so far from
the front that the success of
the Chinese in taking our Old
Baldy positions was due to
anything but an overwhelming
numerical superiority backed
by a tremendous flrepower and
a lavish expenditure of ammu-
milton.
The question which might
well cause some real worry to-
day-in the event Moscow
ordered a full offensive in
Korea-is whether we have
sufficient ammunition now in
stockpiles and a sufficient pro-
duction in this country to meet
such q possible emergency.
