WASHINGTON. May 8 -(AP)- wefencs Secretary George Mar- .-liall warned today that Russia may enter the Korean war with- ..t;t notice. But. this threat. he said. uo-.ild be far greater if the llnited Siriics follows the war plans pro- pnsed by Gen. Douglas MEC- Arthur.

For the second day. the 70- year-old Marshall urged that the U, S. not take the added risk of open conflict with Russia by step- ping up the war against Commun- ist China.

He said Russia has massed strong ground and air forces in the Far East and their entry into the Korean struggle would be "a very serious thins."

MacArthur testified inst week he iild not believe the bombing of China would draw the

into the conflict-or that the Bus- sians could wage much of a war in the Far East.

May Damage Morale

Marshall also voiced concern that MscArthur's remarks about thousands of casualties in a bloody Korean "stalemate" may serious- ly damage the morale of the United Nations combat troops.

He told the closed-door senate armed services and foreign relat- ions committees-looking into the causes of the MacArthur ouster- that there is t-he "very real pos- sibility" of Russia's entry into the Korean war.

"Like all other matters pertain- ing to the Soviet Government." he said. "the decision is of n few men and can be an instant decis- ion whenever they choose to make

He also. that U. S. policy of building up defences in Europe may provoke R war with Russia. But he insisted the risk must be taken because the U. S. has "no choice whatever there."

Marshall said administration policy in Asia may seem costly and a stalemate in Korea may appear the only end. But he added the cost cannot be compared at all "to what happens if we get in- volved in what you might call an atomic war."

MacArthur has challenged the administration policy and called for stronger measures againstthe Red Chinese--bombing. a block- ade and the use of Chinese Nat- lonaliut. troops. He expressed firm belief this could bring a quick and to the Korean conflict.

Defence-D-ebaie Is launched In Commons

O'I'i'AWA. May 8 - (GP)-The official 0pposition's military critic today accused the government of underestimating the manpower needs of the forces and of perpet- uating la haphazard, hit-and-miss policy in seeking the men. He also charged that the navy hasn't a single effective team of ships and planes to tackle its main job. fighting submarines.

Against those charges by Maj.- Gen. G. R. Pearkes V. C. (PC-- Nanaimo). Defence Minister Clax- ton offered the buoyant predict- ion that the target of 115.000 serv- icemen by 1954 will be reached 18 months ahead of schedule and said the forces will take even more men than that.

Further, Mr. Claxton predicted that the drive to recruit a new brigade for Europe will succeed without difficulty and reported that more than 1.200 Canadians tried to enlist in it Monday. the first day of recruiting. It needs between 5.500 and 6,541) plus re- placements. .

Hits At Navy

Swapping blows with the Min- ister as a Commons defence de- bate opened consideration of this year's proposed military bill of 51.819.000.000, Gen. Pearkes struck hardest in discussing the navy.

He charged that the navy has one out-of-date aircraft carrier. the Magnificent, which would soon have to be remodelled or replaced; that the fleet air arm is inadequate and that Canada has no effective anti-submarine teams. He said the Maggie can't handle modern jet planes.

. -.Gen..., Pearkes questioned the policy of training anti-sub sailors in cruisers as Canada is doing and urged that ”obso1ete" ships be taken out of the reserve fleet and scrapped for steel rather than recommissioned to jeopardize Can- adian lives.

Expect Reply From Claxton

The defence-estimates debate be- gan with the state-menvt. of Mr. Ciaxton. followed by Gen. Pearkes. The Defence Minister is likely to reply to the charges about the navy later.

M. J. Coldwell, C. C. F. leader. called for establishment of a Com- mons committee similar to the war expend-ltures committee of the last war.

He recalled that that commit- mittee often met in camera and was given a lot of confidential information. The same sort of thing was required now that Cali- ada was embarking on a 35,000.- 000.000. three-year defcnce pro- gram. -

Launching a Commons defence debate. he also said:

1. There are enough rein- forcaments for the 25th Brigade to keep it fighting in Korea for six months. This pool was being augmented from the current re- cruiting stream.

2. Canada's army-navy-air force contribution in Korea involves 8,337 men, including 6,100 with the 95th Brigade, 1.100 reinforce- merits in Korea for the brigade and other reinforcements in Can- ads.

3. Up to May 3, the army suf- fered 35 deaths and as men wounded in Korea.

4.,"Profoundly disagreed" with Howard Green (PC--Vancouver Guadra) who last night. urged a naval blockade of China and also said the U. N. commander should be left. free to bomb China. That way. said the Minister. lay the threat of general war.

The possibility of increasing the price of milk in the Char- lottetown area was discussed last night at the semi-annuil meeting of the Milk Producers and Vendors Association held in the Provincial Department of Agriculture offices. The vice president, Mr. Walter Cox pre- sided.

About a dozen members at- tended the informal meeting and discussed the proposed advance in view of the fact of the in- creasing costs of production. The present retail price is 16 cents a quart.

The members decided that fur- ther study on the matter was necessary and appointed commit- tees to prepare briefs on the production costs. These briefs will be presented at a public meeting which will be called in the near future.

Mr. Roland MacDonald, South- port. pointed out that the In-

Are Expecled To Result In Trade increase

By Harold Morrison (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Of1'I'AWA, May 8 - (CP)

Canada has signed new long-term tariff-trimming agreements with the United States and 15 other countries aimed at bene-fitting Canadian manufacturing, fishing and farming industries.

The concessions, embracing a wide range of commodities, con- clude seven months of negotia- tion among 34 countries at Tor- quary, England. They were an- nounced lonight by the External Affairs Department and explain- ed in the Commons by Trade Min- ister Howe and Finance Minister Abbott.

The full effect may not be felt immediately, but officials said it is hoped that during normal peace- time trade Canada can anticipate more competitive markets for Canadian products, including Douglas fir. plywood an-d alum- inum.

Main Concessions

The main concession-s were ob- talned from the United States which lowered tariffs on 400 items of interest to Canada. in- cluding lead, zinc, birch, plywood. cheddar cheese, canned salmon and pulpboard.

in turn, Canada lowered tariffs to the U. S. and other countries on many things. including Turk- ish tobacco, motor vehicle parts. rubber tires, confectionery, grape- fruit: juice, machinery, household furniture and some electrical ap- pliances.

Mr. Abbott said some con- cessions may work. in ”thcse times of inflation and high

prices. to help ease the burden for the Canadian consumer." Mr. Howe said the agreements "will add strength to Canada's commercial position." During the current emergency Canada has no worries about selling goods in other countries. but she must look ahead to the long-term need for markets.

TOKYO. May 9 - (Wednesday) - (AP) -- Strong Allied units punched northward Tuesday in a dovutble-barrelcd advance that ranged 17 to 20 miles 3ib0VC once- threatcned Seoul on the Western Korean front.

Heavily supported by air and artillery, other United Nations forces chewed up Chinese and North Korean outpost defences on the central and epstem fron-is.

Nearly half the ground lost when the Communists launched their ill-fated April 2. offensive has been regained along the 100-

mile-wide battlefront. The Red drive bogged down after seven days of human-sea attacks but

today they stepped up their ar- tillery and mortar attacks.

Five Miles in Two Days

On the far-western front, South Korean troops gained five milesi in two days, shoving the Reds north of theIKongnun.g River, a tributary of the Han. A.P corre- spondent John Randolph said Communvlst resistance stiffened at this point, some 1'1 miles north- west of Seoul.

Driving due north of the bat- tered old Korean capital, Allied tan-ks claniked 20 miles up the important Uljongbu highway.

The Chinese still held ridge positions five miles south of that Allied penetration, making the point of actual enemy contact about 15 miles north of Seoul.
