NEW YORK. (OP)-Despite tele- vision's fast expansion, radio sets are selling in the United States at a rate reminiscent of pre-video days. A survey of manufacturers shows radio sales running well ahead of a. year ago with produc- tion better than i,000,000 sets a month. Reasons for the boom are reported to be the increasing pop- ularity of clock radios and replace- ment of old sets with newer mod- els.

"Public Mating Tuesday. March ms, at am e. M. r -- Legion

By Don Whitehead

WA .lNGTf'V. (AP) - Gen. James Van Fleet has told United States senators that the 8th Army hasn't enough ammunition to meet a Communist offensive in Korea. Van Fleet gave his testimony to the Senate armed services commit- tee Msrch 5. 6 and 10. Most of it was kept secret until Sunday when the group decided the public should have the full story.

The former 8th army commander said he understood the situation is better now than it was when he left Korea last month. But he em- phaaizcd he is in direct disagree- ment with his defence department superiors in Washington on how much ammunition the army should shoot and what the army' mission in Korea whould be. He avors a more aggressive policy.

Senators Aroused

senators used such words in the record as "tragic", "shocking," and "unbelievable" as Van Fleet told them:

1. The troops in Korea ”have to

be in trouble in order to shoot' heavy weapons and then they have only enough supplies for "merely a protective action to save themsel- M-.. 2. He had been forced to issue "no shoot" order to his gunners in order to hoard dwindling supplies, and at one time in May. 1951, there wasn't a shell left in his supply dumps-only shells at the gun pits.

3. Gen. Mark W. Clark. supreme commander of the Far Eastern forces, told him last November the United Nations forces had to cut down their rate of fire against the enemy to conserve ammunition. '

4. Victory can be achieved in Korea if the army is "given the m""'l" which would mean more ammunition and more manpower.

B. In June. 1951. the Allied army had the Reds retreating "in a panic" and "I.was crying" to be turned loose. He said he thought at that time he could have pursued the enemy, captured 200.000 to 300,000 prisoners, and "all his heavy equipment." But he added he was ordered to stop as the truce talks began. .

8. He indicated he thinks the dc. fence department is using out- moded Second World War exper- ience tablea for determining the number of rounds of ammunition needed daily by each gun and mor- tar in Korea.

Gen. J. Lawton Collins, army chief of staff. said his position was that the army's mission in Korea is dictated by the political or dip- lomatic policy and not by the mil- itary.

Collins said at one point: "In my judgment there is enough ammun. ltion in Korea. in the hands of the troops, to protect our men, no matter whether they are attacked or not, and to carry out the type oi operation that the army com- mander is now authorized to carry

Valcartier Camp For Korea

3rd Bah3ii'on. P Royal 22nd Gets Rousing iendoff

By KEN STEWART (Canadian Press Staff Writer) VALCARTIER. Que. (C?)

More than 500 crack troops of the 3rd battalion, Royal 22nd Regiment, led by lit.-Col. J. 0. Tony Poulin of Quebec, left Valcartier camp in

special trains Saturday night for I ,

one-year tour of duty in Korea.

Almost 2.000 relatives and friends jammed "the station area to give the troops a musing sendoff. Many of the men were returning to Korea for the second time in less than a year.

Example of Unity

Defence Minister Olaxton. ad- dressing the troops in both French and English, said the unit is "an example of the unity of the Dwple of Canada.”

1 The battalion is composed of both

French and English-speaking of- ficers and men from many provin- ces, but. about 50 per cent oi them are from Montreal.

"You will come back." said Mr Glaxton, "a short year from now. with an even greater reputation earned in action."

He termed the unit, "a great group, Joined together to defend our country, to preserve our peace, to stop aggression."

Proud Record

Mr. Claxton said that the 3rd bat- talion set a record "of which you may well be proud” by being the first Canadian unit going anywhere in the world to leave at full strength - without any absentees.

Veterans Minister Lapointe, also on hand to see the troops off. said he was confident the 3rd battalion would uphold and add to the glory already achieved by its predecessors in Korea - the 1st and 2nd battal-

ions.

Col, Poulin expressed oonfldeng. that the battalion will not fall in its task and that it will bring back

Yugoslavs Surprised At

Reception

BELGRADE, (CP) - The Yugo- slavian press Sunday enthusiastic- ally echoed M2.”.lal Tito's verdict on his five-day mission to Britain -a "great success."

,The newspapers also expreucd surprise that Londoners, noted for their fog-shrouded aloofness. prov- ed to be "very, very wann-hearted" in squiring the Yugoslavian pres- ident around. .

As Tito headed south along the coast of France Sunday after sail- ing down the Thames river Sat- urday. he dispatched a comradeiv telegram to Prime Minister Chur- chill.

"'Ilhe great success of our talks which were conducted in a friend- ly atmosphere. was achieved- thanks above all to your deep un derstanding and estimates of thd current international situation.” it said.

Belgrade Press Pleased-

The Belgrade newspaper Politka said the marahal'a visit had prov- ed that countries with different social systems can live""ln peace with each other. It said the visit showed there is it middle way be- tween tying up with the Kremlin and joining the Atlantic Pact of which Yugoslavia is not a mem- er.

The London correspondent of the Yugoslav news agency, Tanjug. said Britain's attitude toward Yugo- slavia anu her defence has under- gone "a positive and radical clari- flying."

An editorial in Borba called the visit the "highest point" in Yugo- slav foreign policy in the past few years.

sailed Saturday

Tito sailed Saturday in high spirits over British promises to support him. with bullets. if nec- essary, in his struggle against the Soviet Union.

"All that we have hoped for has been attained," he said before leav- ing for his homeland, which is sur- rounded by hostile Soviet-bloc countries.

Ill London, the British, too. ex- pressed pleasure with the results of the visit. For Tito and his lieutenants had given clear signs that they now are on the side of the West, despite divergent polit- ical ideologies.

Genuinejr Just Switch In Tactics?

IDNDON. (AP)--Moscow radio filled the air waves Saturday with strange caoing sounds, full of sweetness and light and comradely sentiments toward the West.

Western observers, watching ev- cry move in the Kremlin, wonder- ed what it was all about.

Did it mean the new Russian rulers were ready to ease up on the cold war and come to some sort of terms?

or was it just a switch in tac- tics to throw the West off balance while the new soviet m'asters con- solidate their positions?

The West, stung too many times by Communist "peace offensives", watched for concrete acts by the Kremlin bosses showing they had a change of heart.

Unusual Broadcast

what brought immediate urgency to the situation was an unusual broadcast Saturday by one of Mos- cow radio's best known comment- ators.

Breaking almost completely with what has been standard Soviet propaganda since the end of the Second World war, Boris Leontyev told the world that it was team- work by Brltain, the United states and the Soviet Union which best the Germans and the Japanese.

Nearly always before the Rue- sians had insisted that the war had been won by the Red Army. while the iicapltalist states" sat back and got rich.

Elaborating on the theme that the West and the communist world could live in peace together, Leon- tyev said:

"The possibility of co-operation was manifested still more vividly during the war against the Fascist states. The Soviet Union, the U. S. A. and Britain harmoniously co-operated in that war as allies, helping each other and coordinat- ing their military efforts. This co- operation had splendid results-a common victory over the enemy."

l..eontyev's broadcast seemed to be part of some new pattern of Soviet conduct.

Russia Gives U.N. Delegates New Hope For Real Peace

By A. l. GOLDBERG

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., (AP) -- New Soviet sweet talk has given many UN delegates watchful hope that it may lead to real peace, but they are waiting for Russia's An. drci Vishinsky to prove it, espec- ially on Korea.

Vishlnsky Due Thursday

The former Soviet foreign min- ister. shuffled out of the post in the Malenkov government switches, is due back here Thursday to be. come the permanent soviet deleg- ate. This is just a week before the current session of the UN assembly is scheduled to close.

If Vishinsky comes up with any real peace talk. delegates are ready to take a Good Friday-Easier rc- cess and come back to discuss any hopeful development.

Toward the end of this week, the Russians will have one of the most important diplomatic delegations anywhere in the world concentrat- ed in this spot. If Vishinsky has anything in his diplomatic grab bag, it should be revealed here in the next 10 days.

Vishinksy is the first Soviet dip- lomat of his rank to come out from behind the Kremlin walls since the Malenkov-Bcria-Molotov group took over after Stalinis death and since the Russian sweet talk began.
