Partly cloudy with Mattered aft iSTSm fcj. . ■omtsie 1 AGREEMENT ON CEASE FIRE TALKS CLOSER U. S. Military Manpower May Be Increased WASHINGTON (IP President Truman and the two top members of his cab inet were on record today with strong warnings that it may be necessary to in crease America’s military manpower regardless of what happens in Korea. Here is the picture as they out lined it: President Truman, in his mid year economic report to Congress, said the sise of the armed forces may have to be increased beyond the present goal of 3,500,000. The hanpower act now authorizes the armed forces to go up to 5,000,000 but the present spending goal is 3,500,000. HO DECISION YET Defense Secretary George O. Marshall told a news conference that there have been some discus sions of the necessity of increas ing the size of the armed forces. He said a decision would not be made until October, when discussions will open on the budget for the fiscal year beginning on July 1, 1962. Secretary of State Dean Acheson speaking last night in Detroit, said that Russia and her satellites had ground forces totaling about 9,000,- 000 men. He said Russia had 4,000,000, the Chinese Communists 3,500,000 and Russia’s Europesn satellites about 1,000,000. Acheson said the Krelmin has 30,000 first line aircraft, about four or five times as many as the Unit ed States has. Acheson said the United Btates sad its '*Wta do not have (o match Russia and her sattelltas man for man, bat that they have g Hmvrnr to go befave being prop erly prepared to meet aggression. CONGRESSIONAL OPPOSITION If Truman and his top advisers are preparing the public for a size able increase in military man power, they can expect stubborn op position from some quarters in Congress, particularly over addit ional money and the probable ne cessity of calling up more draftees. Asked about plans to increase the sise of the Air Force, Marshall said the Defense Department is building toward a production capacity that could produce a 180-wing force. The Air Force now is shooting for 05 wings by the fall of IMS. but has declined to say how many aircraft this would involve or to breakdown the number of wings In to fighters and bombers. Until this talk started, top of ficials had been saying that it was more important at this time to in crease industrial capacity and buy and build such items as tanks, planes and heavy arms.

U. N. patrols north of the Imjin River reported increasingly nu merous clashes with Communist patrols Just outside the five-mile limit around demilitarized Kae song. A dispatch from the base camp below Kaesong said Allied tanks, troop-carrying vehicles and quart ermaster supply units were ramm ing north along the Seoul-Kaesong highway to strengthen the Allied defense lines. COVER FOR OFFENSIVE U. N. sources have speculated from the start of the cease-fire talks that the Communist peace.bid might oe just a cover for prepara tions for a new Red offensive by upward of 650,000 troops. Ground activity nevertheless was still on a relatively small scale. Belated field reports indicated the heaviest action was on the eastern front west southwest of Kanaong, 26 miles north of the 38th Parallel. Allied troops stormed a Com munist-held hill there for thi fourth straight day Tuesday, but failed to dislodge a well-entrenched enemy battalion. Heavy machine gun and mortar fire forced the Allies to withdraw.

Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols, briefing officer, said the new Red proposal was "reasonable in con tent and phraseology,” that it was “more temperate and reasonable in tone” than! previous Communist statements. GETTING SOMEWHERE "The conference ended in an at mosphere of ’now we are getting somewhere’,’, Nuckols said, adding that it "knocked into a cocked hat” recent pessimistic predictions regarding a cease-fire agreement. Because the U. N. asked for more time than usual between confer ences, it was thought that the Red proposal was being sent to Wash ington and Lake Success for study. Chief United Nations negotiator Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy is ex pected to give the reply at the 10th U. S.

WITNESS’ VERSION I Sim Elliott, who was a passenger in the Harris car, told officers this version: Harris, angered at seeing John son’s car coming from the Fergu son woman’s house, whirled his auto around and chased Johnson’s car, running up in front of him and blocking the road. At this time, Elliott said, he left the car and ran into the field, but heard Johnson warn Harris not to come near him. ! . £ Earlier Elliott sMd that Harris told him he had “asked Ivory to stay away from his girl friend.’’ lOsntlnued on Page ll no. tn only that the “general question” of withdrawing foreign troops from Korea was discussed further at the ninth meeting cf the negotiators. The 53-minute morning session was devoted to a statement by Joy in response to an opening query by the Communists “in order that there be no misunderstanding on one of his more significant re marks,” the communique sattUd-jj! However, there was no indication of the nature of Joy’s “significant” remark. PRESENT COMPROMISE Presumably as result of Joy's statement, chief Communist nego tiator Gen. Nam II presented his new compromise proposal at the opening of the afternoon session. This lasted a half hour.- The communique said: .* “The ninth meeting of the Un ited Nations command-Communist armistice negotiations today made considerable progress toward for mulation of an agenda . . . After Gen. Nam Il’s new proposal, the re mainder of the afternoon was de voted to the exploration and clari fication of both sides with ques tions and replies flowing rapidly across the conference table.” . The meeting followed a four-day recess requested by the Commun ists to consider the situation posed by the refusal of U. N. negotiat-. ors to write the withdrawal of for eign troops into the conference agenda. 1 1 i ' AA jf Anybody fee* a - *”* -V. 1 Quartermaster soldiers working in the Big Four warehouse « U.
