US Chiefs Of Staff Considering Reduction

In The Armed Forces

Paris, Nov. 1.

The United States Joint Chiefs of Staff, all official denials to the contrary notwithstanding, are considering a 25 per cent reduction in the American armed forces and a sharp cut in the number of divisions stationed overseas, authorita- tive United States sources said today.

The informants emphasised that no action was planned immediately and whatever the Joint Chiefs recommended, after studying atomic weapons development and budgetary require- ments, would not be applicable before the fiscal year.1955-56.

DRAMATIC INCIDENT AT PANMUNJOM CAMP

Panmunjom, Nov. 2.

Indian guards killed a „Chinese prisoner who rushed to- ward them today while the troops were protocting a neutral party investigating Communist charges of prison camp mur- ders.

Two rifle bullets bored through the prisoner when he broke out of a tent and rushed toward a double file of Indian guards attempting to line up 444 Chinese before two pro-Communist Chinese repatriated prisoners for identifica- tion of the alleged murderers.

After the shooting, the 444 captives lined up docilely and paraded before the "Ginger men”.
