"There are more combat Marines in Korea today than there were in the entire Marine force when the war broke out," Commandant Clifton B. Cates disclosed to- day.

East German Communists, envious of the bustling Western port of Hamburg,`are building up o

of industrial enterprises are contemplated within the next two years, Rostock now hes a population of 115,000. Th goal for 1955 is a quarter mll- ilon.

General Cates told a luncheon club that the number who first landed in Koren was under 5,000. Since then, he added, the "combat Marines" have grown into a more powerful striking force.

A Marine spokesman said there were about 16,000 "combat men" in the force when the North Koreans started their Invasion on June 25. Since then, many or- ganised reserve units have been called to aclive duty.
