New Delhi, Mar. 10.

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:

-

"As of now we have the am- munition necessary for opera- Lions on the present scale. Soon, its fair to slate, we shall have amounts necessary to give the Field Commander considerable Latitude in determining and supporting a more active type of operations.

General J. Lawton Collins, Anny Chief of Staff, said that the Army was concerned about the luck of enough reserve stocks of ammunition not only in the Far East but elsewhere. NEVER SHORT

But he added: "On the other hand there has never been I shortage of ammunition in the hands of our troops (unless In some isolated inslanec because of local dificulties of distribu- tion) either to repel un
