Inquiry Into Korea Shortages

Washington, Apr. 16. Senator Robert Hendrick- son said today that the Senate sub-Committee in- vestigating ammunition shortages should call the former Defence Secretary, General George Marshall, to explain an order he issued carly in the Korean war.

The New Jersey Republican, a member of the sub-Committee, made the statement as the group called Lt-Gen. W. B. Palmer, assistant Army Chief of Staff for supply, to testify this after- noon,

Senator Hendrickson referred to General Marshall's "statement of assumptions" sent to the three Services in September 1950.

The document, presented to the sub-Committee yesterday, laid out the "guideline" that the Korean war should be over by June 1951.

Thereafter, according to the testimony of Lt-Gen.
