America's chief UN delegate, Wa

"WE MUST never let the a

Colleges.
"That is the high strategy

$10 Billion New Revenue Needed
To Finance Huge Defense Program
WASHINGTON-(g)--A nation-wide sales tax designed to raise
10 or $15 billion dollars a year is under discussion among high
officials, Senator Anderson (D-N.M.) said yesterday.
Anderson disclosed this in a speech before the Maryland Farm
Bureau at Baltimore after President Truman asserted that the nation
must be taxed "until it hurts" to finance the huge defense program.
Anderson said:
"I was in a gathering in Washington in the past 10 days at
which high and responsible officials discussed the possibility
that there would be such a gap between receipts and expenditures
in our budget that we would have to resort to a nation-wide sales

Reserve Policies
Blasted by VFW
By The Associated Press
Rep. Dewey Short (R-Mo.) hint-
ed the nation's armed forces may
rise to 4,500,000 by the summer of
1952 and said all 19-year-olds will
see at least two years service.
Short, a member of the House
Armed Services Committee, said
that the old concept of military
training as six months training
followed by inactive service on re-
serve lists is completely dead.
"We have insufficient manpow-
er to afford this luxury," he ex-

Bonn, Talks
On German
Troop's Open
By The Associated Press
Allied and German generals
opened secret talks in Bonn, Ger-
many, over adding West German
troops to the Atlantic Pact Com-
mand of Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hower, whose expeditionary armies
finally crushed Hitler's Wehr-
macht against the Soviet anvil less
than six years ago.
4 A dozen military and civilian
experts joined in a three-hour
conference whose object, a com-
munique said, was "to explore the
part which Germany might as-
sume for the maintenance of peace
and in the common defense of
Europe."
S 5 *
AN ALLIED delegate said the
meeting, to be followed by an-
other next Tuesday, was "useful
and friendly." ,
Two generals of Hitler's de-
feated army, Hans Spiedel and
Adolf Heusinger, were in a five-
man German delegation closet-
ed with the representatives of
the United States, Britain and
France at the hotel, the head-
quarters of the Allied High Com-
mission.
The conferees discussed techni-
cal aspects of Western measures
intended to avert the threat of
World War III. The 12 Atlantic
Pact nations want a force of 150,-
000 West Germans among 1,000,-
000 troops to be placed under Eis-
enhower by 1953.
The Germans have made it
known that they want equality
for their troops and sweeping
political concessions from the
occupying powers if they decide
to take up arms again.
Meanwhile, Gen. Eisenhower
arrived in Brussels with a de-
mand for strong troops and a pro-
mise that, with them, Western ci-
vilization can be preserved with-
out fighting.
Brussels was the General's sec-
ond major stop on a tour that
began Sunday in Paris and will
ultimately take him to all the
countries banded together in thea
North Atlantic Alliance against
aggressive Communism.

fifteen billions of dollars annually.
I don't know whether that will
come or not but I say it's a pos-
sibility."
SENATOR BYRD (D-Va.) sug-
gested a sales or transactions tax
probably would have to be con-
sidered if the nation is to be put
on a pay-as-you-go basis as it
presses its defense preparations.
Aiming at possibly $10,000,-
000,000 in new revenue - the
third big increase since the
Korean war started, Congress
leaders arranged to start work
Feb. 1 on the problem of how
to raise the money.
Byrd told newsmen :
"I feel certain that, if the bud-
get is balanced, Congress not only
must cut all non-essential govern-
ment spending and increase the
existing sources of revenue, but
also enter new fields of taxation
-probably such as a retail sales
or transactions tax."
Truman's grim statement that
"it is necessary to tax until it
hurts" was made in a conciliatory
letter to Byrd, an ardent economy
and pay-as-you-go man, with
whom he has clashed frequently'
on fiscal policy. The Senator madeI
public the letter.I

IN AN ADDRESS on selectivE
'service before the 37th annual
meeting of the Association of
American Colleges, Short said:
"For reasons of military se-
curity, I cannot discuss the sub-
ject in as much detail as I would
like, but it can be fairly said
that Washington is rife with
rumors attributed to 'informed
sources' that the 3,500,000-man
figure is from 500,000 to 1,000,-
000 lower than the goal being
sought by the summer of 1952."
Short said "it is inescapable
that every 19-year-oldiyoungster
physically capable of military ser-
vice must serve."

MEANWHILE, Omar B. Ket-
chum, director of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, said in Washing-
ton that most reservists are "like
fleas on a hot skillet", because
they are subject to call on such,
short notice.
Testifying before a House Arm-
ed Services subcommittee investi-
gating reserve policy, Ketchum
said'defense chiefs should be able'
I to say well in advance just what
I reserve units will be needed and
when.
He proposed 90 days as "fair
notice."
In other developments:
1. The Navy announced it will
order 47,000 enlisted reservists to
active duty during April, May and
June. The revised quota is 32,000
more than the Navy had expected
to call during the three-month
period.
2. The Navy said it will accept
only 21,200 volunteer recruits dur-
ing the rest of January because
the training cenlters -at Newport,
R.I., Great Lakes, Ill., and San
Diego, Calif., have reached their
manpower limits.
The Air Force has announced
similar action. It said only 1,000
recruits could be sent daily to
Lackland Air Force Base in Texas
until sometime in the spring.

spondents are not permitted to
use the word "retreat" .in connec-
tion with the withdrawal of UN
forces. The pullback, according to
security officers in Tokyo, is a
planned and orderly withdrawal--
not a retreat.
Stories from Korea will not
be allowed to mention identity
of units, numbers of troops or
their type, the strength, effici-
ency, morale or organization of
UN forces, armament or equip-
ment of any kind, or "plans of

Information which would "in-
jure the morale of our forces. or
our allies" or which would "em-
barrass the United States, its al-
lies or neutral countries" also was
banned.

THE CENSORSHIP is absolute,
since the army rigidly controls
communications out of Korea.

en the United States"as an "arse-
nal of democracy" in the struggle
against Communism.
Instead, Taft proposed a 10-year
middle course policy aimed at the
fastest possible mobilization with-
out crippling the economy.
But Taft said the United States
will "have to go to war with'the
Russians if they attack Western
Europe.
In that case, the Senator add-
ed, the whole situation would be
different.
COUNTERING President Tru-
man's call Monday for the defense
of Europe as the keystone of
American security, Taft again
urged a mighty buildup of U.S.
air and sea weapons rather than
emphasis on ground troops.
The Ohio lawmaker said he
favors the complete release of

Shek's Chinese Nationalist forc-
es to fight the Chinese Reds.

central Korean rail and road
hub.
North Korean Communist
forces hurled a strong retalia-

short time later.
TOKYO - (MP)-Furious Allied
counterblows yesterday drove the
enemy back nearly three miles on
the vital central front near the
fallen transport center of Wonju.
A field dispatch said the coun-
ter-attack appeared designed to
recapture Wonju. The city fell to
the Reds Monday. It controls
highways leading into southeast-
ern Korea.

AS THE counter-attack gained
momentum, the UN forces ran
into enemy mortar fire but cas-
ualties"among the attackers were
light.
Three North Korean divisions
were bearing the weight of the
counter-blows about four miles
south of Wonju.
The attackers strove to stem the
tide of Chinese and Korean Com-
munists rolling in ever increasing
waves down the mountain roads
in central Korea.
ONLY PATROL action was re-
ported in the west on the front
south of fallen Seoul for the
fourth staight day. But the om-
inous buildup of\ Red Chinese
power continued.
Associated Press correspon-
dent John Randolph, with the
UN columns falling back from
Seoul and now more than 60
miles south of the 38th parallel,
said the Red buildup "appeared
to he planned for the strongest
possible attack when the drive
begins."
This was the first report that
Chinese artillery had been dragged
south of the ice-jammed Han Riv-
er, which flows past Seoul.

FIGHTING in the center of the
front raged near Wonju. Two UN
battalions turned two miles south
of Wonju and attacked a North
Korean fprce. The fight was still
in progress at last reports.
Six miles southwest of Wonju
another fierce action forced
back the enemy.
The counterattack was in regi-
mental strength. It was loosed
north of Chechon, another trans-
portation centeron the road net-
work to the south. Chechon is 60
miles south of the 38th parallel.
