TOKYO, May 8 -Uruesdayl -' (AP) .- Allied armored patrols plunged north through C-hunchori Monday and found thnt key Cent- ral Korean base deserted by the Chinese Communists.

The communists were reported feverishly regrouplng farther north. however.

In the west. they slipped a bat- talion of possibly aoo men across the south bank of the Han River on the front northwest of Seoul.

Republic of Korea troops took the initiative elsewhere on the Korean battlefront. with strong Allied artillery and air support- they made limited attacks on the western and eastern ends of the line.

The main Chinese resistance was northwest of Seoul.

Bulky Red forces were con- centrated in an area between Hanson and the Han River. roughly 20 miles northwest, of seoul

Front dispatch:-s speculated that the Chinese might be considering an attack down the Kimpo Pen- insula in n flanking attempt. Kimpo Airfield. still being used by Allied aircraft. is about 12 air miles northwest of Seoul on the peninsula.

Timing important

Military Tnd Police Forces Ready To Act

OITAWA. May '7-(CP)-The Government indicated in a white paper on defence today that a wave of sabotage is expected to strike Canada on or before the outbreak of any general war but said military and police forces are set to crush it quickly.

The white paper. a 30-page summary of the military sit- uaiioii and what Canada is doing about it, said too that Camada is going to butress Europe's anti-Communist de- feri-ces by shipping 400 heavy anti-aircraft guns across the Atlantic.

These would be in addition to equipment fdr three infantry div- isions Canada has already sent to Holland. Belgium and Italy. and to guns for a Luxembourg artillery regiment.

Arrangements had been made to get an unspecified number of 90 mm. anti-aircraft guns from the United States as part of the army's switch to U.S. arms. This would allow the transfer of more than 400 3.7-inch heavy anti-air- craft guns to European countries which are members of the Atlan- tic Pact.

Aeoeleraie Preparations

The white paper, tabled in the Commons by Ralph Campncy. parliamentary assistant to De- fence Minister Claxioii. said "Steps are being taken in the light of the present international situation to accelerate materially our state of readiness for full mobilization."

The reserve forces had grown from 36,600 to 53,000 in the last four years. The reserve army would fill two functions in war.

For internal security and de- fence. it would co-operate with the active forces. police and other agencies to prevent sabotage "at or before the outbreak of general hostilities." .

During the period of anl.I-espi- image activity, the reserve forces would be joined by former offic- erss N.C.O.'s and men having ex- perience in the active or reserve forces.

"In an emergency. this part of the task would continue until the situation had been stabilized and additional police and other forces built up to take it over. it is not anticipated that this would take very long.”

Simultaneously. without waiting for completion of the security role. the reserves would be built up for a miliiary role.

The reserve air force was being brought up to wartime establish- ments and efficiency as quickly -as equipment and facilities became available. More than 1,000 high school students would take full. time training at radar units this summer.

Abbott Suggests Extra Work To Halt Inflation

G-RAND'M.ERE. Que., May 7- fCP)-Flmnce Minister Abbott appealed to Canadians tonight to work an extra 40 minutes daily to "help slay the dragon of inflat- ion."

The extra 40 minutes. or its equivalent. he told the Canadian Club of Grand'mere and Shawinl- gan Falls in a speech prepared for delivery. is required to produce fhe additional 10 per cent of pro- duction needed to avert "the grave danger. the calamity of runaway inflation."

"The equivalent of an extra 40 minutes' production each day could help slay the dragon of inflation. Is that too great a contribution to ask for as an emergency meas- ure during an emergency period?"

It would mean no more than an extra four or 4 1-2 hours each week. This would buy "peace with liberty."

The defence effort was taking up about it) per cent of h0l'I'nll.l production. but the demand for goods had not slackened. The problem either was to cut back civilian consumption by one- tenth or increase production by that amount.

"To abstain one-tenth or to work an extra tenth-that is the question. Unless we do either Or I combination of both. unless we do so consciously and co-operatlvely. we stand in danger of upsetting the delicate mechanisms of our economy-and because of that very tenth we stand in danger of jeopardizing our present well-be- man

Price control by itself would not work against rising prices.

Russia insisted that Comniunistl China, Russia. the U. S. and Brit-l ain make up the council that; would start preparation of at treaty in June or July.

Russia demanded withdrawal of?

all occupation troops in Japan within a year after conclusion of the treaty.

The treiiiy must provide for the transfer of Formosa and the Pescadores in Formosa straits to Communist China. and the Ryukyu (including Okinawa) and Bonin Islands must be left under Japan- ese sovereignty rather than trans- fcrred to American trusteeship. Russia said.

Further. Russia said Japanfs armed forces must be limited to self-defence and she must not be allowcd to enter any coalition against a state which fought her in the war.
