Too Early To Decide Soviet Policy Has Taken On Basic Change

Berlin, Apr. 9.

Moscow is a city of well-fed, happy people who "want poace", ten American newspaper executives reported tonight in Berlin upon their arrival from an unprecedented week-long stay in the Soviet capital.

The editors and publishers, led by James L. Wick of Niles, Ohio, agreed in a news conference on this overall im- pression of the city they were invited to visit at the height of the Russian about-face in the cold war.

The former Army Secretary, Mr Frank Pace, Jr., said today that the major reason why ammuni- tion production was not pushed in the first six months of the Korean war was General Douglas MacArthur's "considered judgment" that the war would end in December 1950.

Mr Face made the statement before the Senate Armed Services sub-Committee investigating, re- ports of serious and long-standing ammunition shortages in Korea.

He said it was the "considered was the general Impression I got judgment" of both Washington at Wake Island." and the Far East Cornmand that (The Chinese Communists en- six months after It started in 1950, "that particular war" would end tered the war in late October, a development which June 1950.
