AMMUNITION SHORTAGE PROBEBRINGS ADDED ALLOTMENT OFNEEDED FUNDS IN U.S. BUDGETOfficials SayMoney Is StillUrgently NeededAs Peace Looms

By ELTON C. FAYWASHINGTON OPu-Now that the

dust has settled and debate hasdied away, the Army finds somesolace in the senatorial investiga-tion of ammunition shortages.

Economy trends had whittled ap-propriation proposals for ammuni-tion to a fraction of the requestedamount earlier this year. But Con-gress and the administration,alarmed by the charges of pre-vious critical shortages in ammu-nition, restored to the budget muchof the money originally requestedfor this purpose, it was learnedtoday.

Ammunition accounts for a largepart of the $923,487,000 added bythe Eisenhower administration tothe original Truman administra-tion budget item for Army procure-ment and production. The new to-tal for Army production, as pro-posed by the Budget Bureau onthe basis of Defense Department

recommendations is $2,471,799,000,.Officials say the money is ur-

gently needed to build up reservestocks of ammunition badly de-pleted by the heavy drain of thefirst two years of the Korean War,when new production facilities hadnot come into full operation.

The Army was the only one ofthe three services to emerge fromthe administration’s budget revis-ing with more money than it wouldhave had under the Trumanbudget.

But Army officials say this isaccounted for entirely by two fac-tors—the increased money for am-munition and the inclusion in the1954 budget of items for the Ko-

rean War, including the cost ofequipping additional South Koreandivisions.

The difference between reduc-tions made elsewhere in the Armybudget and the increases for am-munition and for operation of theKorean War show c l up in a netincrease of $1,561,409,000 for theArmy. Total appropriation recom-mended for the Army now standsat $13,671,000,000

While the cutbacks elsewhere inthe Army budget were substantialin some instances, officials gen-erally do not rounder them asimpossible to meet

RestrictionsMay Be ForcedOn Secretary

Benson Is Faced

Wish Setting UpCrop Restraint

By OVID A. MARTINWASHINGTON t* Secretary

of Agriculture Benson, an avowedfoe of government controls, todayfaced the prospect of having toapply restrictions on more cropsin a single year than any of hispredecessors.

An official crop report yesterdayput the wheat supply at a surpluslevel which—unless there is an un-foreseen major development —willrequire Benson to invoke rigidmarketing quotas on the 1954 crop.

Growers already have approved1954 controls for the major typesof tobacco and for peanuts. Bensonannounced this week he will im-pose marketing controls of this

I year’s production of sugar in! Puerto Rico and in the domestic

j cane sugar area.Reports on cotton planting indi-

conference in the Midwest, Under-Secretary of Agriculture True D.Morse said it appeared that thecorn acreage would be larger thisyear than last. Thus, it would bepossible for the corn supply toreach a surplus mark also requir-ing quotas next year.

During the campaign last year.President Eisenhower pledged aminimum of agricultural controls.

I Benson, in speeches and state-

ments. has saw! farmers want afederal farm program that wouldfree tnem from government dom-ination.

President Rhee Is Simple,Direct But Stubborn Man

SEOUL Ijß—Allied troops reoccu-pied Seoul in September 1950. afterlanding at Inchon and routing theNorth Korean Reds. A throng ofKoreans gathered in the batteredcapital city to hear an address bytheir white-haired President, Syng-man Rhee.

It was a momentous occasion forthe little man who had enduredprison torture and 33 years of exilein his long, relentless fight againstmonarchists, Japanese militaristsand now the Communists. Ameri-cans present expected a dramatic,spine-tinging speech from theleathery-skinned Harvard andPrinceton graduate.

Rhee fastened a fond gaze on hispeople and said:

“We have returned to our be-loved city. Now let’s get the stinkout of the streets and get sometrees on those mountains.”

The incident illustrated severalpoints in the character of the 78-year-old Chief Executive. He' is asimple, direct man with no appar-ent affectations, but stubborn inpersisting for what he believes isbest for his Korea.

He is a passionate lover of treesand flowering things. He has amania for sanitation.

Today, in the midst of a greatarmistice crisis which has foundhim standing up both against theReds and the United Nations attimes, he still is exhorting Seoulresidents at least once-each weekto clean up and plant.

“The development of the coun-try is as important ss the armis-tice question,” he explained.

His love is for a country in whichhe was born under a monarchyMarch 2, 1875; which threw himin prison when, as a Methodistmission convert, he tried to sfirup the spirit of democracy; andfrom which he was exiled, fleeingfor his life soon after the Japanesetook control in 1910.. He returned to Korea in 1945after Japan’s defeat only to becaught up shortly in a war whichkept him moving in and out ofSeoul as its fortunes swayed.

Rhee lives ila fine, concrete andtile mansion on a Seoul hillside. Hespends many waking hours in hisspreading, beautiful gardens.

This week, when Gen. Mark ClarkSew to Seoul for an urgent con-ference over Rhee’s bitter opposi-tion to a truce with the Reds, theyheld their meeting in the “gardenoffice.” A third party present wasRhee’s little brown and white ter-rier Smartie.

Visitors often find him playingin the garden with two bear cubs,

gifts of South Korean Army units,and with a second dog, Chindo.

Rhee toyed with the bears andstroked his terrier last Monday

! while telling newsmen: “I am be-i*g criticized by everyone—exceptthe Korean people.”

Rhee s daily schedule begins,at6 a. m. After a light breakfast,he reads newspapers for an hourthen sketches Chinese characterson paper with a brush dipped inheavy black ink.

Rhee. who in boyhood receiveda classical Chinese education, ishighly proficient at this form ofpainting. His characters spell outsuch mottoes as “Respect heavenand love humans.”

At 8:30 a. m., he goes to a large| pond and feeds bread and rice to

: more than 100 goldfish.Then he walks to his office and

receives reports on the war. Heconsults with his ministers. By

i 9:30 a. m., he is back in the gardenreceiving visitors and giving in-

i structions Jo his secretaries.Just before noon, he sits down

to his typewriter to bang out per-sonal letters or statements. Veryoften they are appeals to his peopleto plant trees, use coal instead ofwood for cooking and heating.

At 12:30 p, m. daily, he luncheswith his Austrian-born wife, Fresn-cesca, 20 years his junior, whom hewed in 1934. His digestion is re-markable. He eats what he likes,including chicken, fish, beef andpork. He prefers Western food butoccasionally eats rice and someKorean dishes.

After receiving visitors from 2 to4 p. m., he plunges into the workof receiving government reportsand dictation.

After a walk and a 7 p. m. din-ner, he listens to the radio, oftenreads American books and maga-zines. He was reading a book ofpoetry last Monday when a Com-munist plane dropped a bombwhich shook his hr me. He wasunperturbed, wailing calmly for apolice report that told him thebomb hit a school and injured two iteachers.

Just before retiring, he opens hisChristian Bible and reads passagesaloud to himself and his wife. Sat-urday nights he allows himself aspecial treat—films from the U. S.Eighth Army.

And while the crisis eddies abouthim. Rhee sits in his garden asimpassive and seemingly as age-less as Korea’s tmeless mountain.

The Italian government has triedto popularize metal coins, but thepeople prefer paper money andtiie com* are returned to the banks, j
