They zeroed in their fire on river crossings and narrow gul lies through which the wounded had to be brought. First Lieut. Wattle S. Ligon of Columbia, S.

But he is likely to visit Washington before long -to talk things 1 over. Churchill may go during the Christmas parliamentary recess.. He might at that time suggest a redistribution of mutual burdens, especially Atlantic defense costs.

Senate and House leaders, al ready pledged to give the pro gram immediate consideration In committees, were expected to make room for floor action on their crowded calendars. Debate on the controversial UMT program 'ln a pre-election Con gress promised to be extensive, however, even though UMT has been approved in principle by both House and Senate. The National Security Training Commission cleared the way last night for congressional action by laying out a six-month compulsor* “intensive and realistic” training program for 18-year-olds. The five man group recommended.approval of the plan “without delay” to meet the “Kremlin’s challenge. The commission noted that Amer icans of the frontier era “calmly accepted” military training as necessary protection against war ring Indians. It said the nation again faces the threat of an enemy which can strike “swiftly and un expectedly,” and added: “This return to frontier condi tions demands a frontier response.” The commission's plan includes a code of conduct and measures designed to protect trainees’ heahli, safety and welfare. It recommends that only physicallv end mentally handicapped youths be deferred from the program which is design ed to train 800,000 men a year— the usual crop of 18-year-olds.

S, military in stallations in Korea with Gen. Mat thew B. Ridgwav, supreme U. N. commander, and Gen. James A. Van Fleet, commander of the Bth Army. SAYS HELP NEEDED Collins said the U. N. would have to keep its forces in Korea for some time because the South Ko gean army “needs help.” “But when we get out,” he said, “we will get out as quickly as possible.” He said the South Korean army had made great strides since he last saw it in action. “Very frankly,” he said, “the POK . army was not satisfactory when I ’ saw it the last. time.
