The mighty Himalayas, usually still and trackless, will have a busy look this year with at least six foreign mountaineering teams mapping invasions. A Japanese team will be among the climbers.
Argument Over Korea Shortage Of Ammunition
Washington, Mar. 10.
The Defence Secretary, Mr Charles Wilson, assured worried Senators today that there was enough ammunition for the present limited com- bat in Korea and there will soon be enough for more active fighting.
Mr Wilson and the Army High Command testified at a closed round-table session of the Senate Armed Services Committee with members of the Senate Military Appropriations Sub: Committee attending.
Prepared statements by wit- nesses were made public.
Gentral James Van Fleet, re- tled Commander of the 8th Army, had testified last week that his forces had sultered from chronic, serious and sometimes critical shortages
of ammunition.
With
General Van Fleet listening, Mr Wilson and his colleagues denied that shortages In the general sense were quite as serious as General Van Fleet lind painted them. But they did not deny that there
had been shortages particularly in heavy calibre sheils.
Mr Wilson, in his written statement, gave this picture:
