Losses have been suffered in combat in Korea and from all other causes in normal worldwide opera tions. There also have been tem porary losses of planes grounded or on reduced flying status because of engine and parts shortages The extent of aircraft destruc tion and damage in Korea never has been revealed fully and won't be while the fightnig is going on. It is known, however, that, more than 350 planes uncer Far East Air Forces FEAF control have been lost to enemy action. About 75 per cent of these were fighters knocked down by enemy ground fire, mainly while supporting ground troops. What is not generally known is that another 350 planes of all types operating under FEAF probably have been lost or damaged during the war for reasons not directly re lated to enemy action. These figures do not include Navy losses. Reduced B-29 bomber operations in Korea have been attributed by Air Force sources partly to the engine and parts problem. Lack of parts for jet engines is reported to have cut down flying time of F-84 Thunderjet fighter groups in Europe. Defense Mobillzer Charles E. Wilson gay* the tip-off on current aircraft production in his * latest report that It Is twice what' H was a year ago. ThUTheans the Unite* States has reached a rate of about 460 airplanes a month of all types for all three military services.

Erwin Paving To Begin Soon Commissioner Pate Advised HST, Congress Disagree On Higher Taxes ~ t WASHINGTON. Os) Presi dent Truman and Congressional tax leaders appeared today ot be preparing for a clash next year over additional tax increases. Chairman Robert L. Doughton. D., N. C.. of the tax-writing House Wayg and Means Committee and Chairman Walter G. George. D., Ga.. of the Senate Finance Com mittee. agreed that the new $5,- 691,000.000 increase raises taxes about as high as the U. S. economy can stand under present conditions. NOT FAR ENOUGH Mr. Truman apparently does not share in this view. In giving his okay Saturday to the latest tax boost the President made it clear he didn’t think Congress had gone far enough in its pre-adjournment approval of a tax increase. “This legislation will not raise enough revenue to enable us to keep on paying as we go for our defense in this emergency period,” Mr. Truman said. "This is a se rious departure from the standards of sound government finance." This indicated that Mr. Truman is thinking in terms of higher taxes negt year.
