Korean war even if so minded.
He made the statement in re
sponse to questions at the Senate’s
hearings. Previously, the senators
had heard the top U. S. military
men testify they believed Russia
could call off the fighting in Korea
Like the military men, Acheson
said he does not believe the United
States has the military strength yet
to prevent Russia from overrunning
Europe if the Soviets turn to ag
gression there.
Senator Lodge asked if Russia
“has enough influence to bring
enough pressure to bear to stop tlje
aggression in Korea if it wanted
to?”
Kremlin Could Act
Acheson said: “That is a hard
question for me to answer. It is
purely in the realm of speculation
I think the Kremlin's influence will
be very helpful if directed in that
line.”
Also in response to Lodge's ques
tions, Acheson said:
1. He believes "Good use” is be
ing made of the time which, as
Lodge phrased it, "our men are buy
ing for us in Korea.” Acheson said:
“Everybody involved in the effort
wishes that things could go faster,
but I don’t know of any way my
self in which they could be made
to go faster.”
That 1919 Pullback
2. He does not think the U. S.
made a “mistake” when it pulled
its troops out of Korea in June,
1949. Acheson said it was the rec
ommendation of the UN and also
"the recommendation of our mili
tary establishment which thought
our troops were much more serious
ly needed somewhere else.”
3. He would not favor pulling U.
S. troops out of Europe.
4. He agreed with Lodge it was
a mistake for the U. S. to have dis
armed so rapidly in 1948.
“Hot Pursuit” Angle
At another point, Acheson said it
was the Defense Department which
ruled out “hot pursuit” of enemy
planes aeross the Korean-Manchur
ian border.
Senator McMahon demanded an
investigation of what was done with
$200,000,000 of gold credits the U. S
extended to Nationalist China in
1942. McMahon said he thinks the
American taxpayers were ‘ robbed"
by ^“corrupt gang of crooks” in
the clique around Chiang.

SHORTAGE OF
BEEF IS NOW |
THREATENING
CHICAGO, June 7, — W —Cattle
aisers still kept the bulk of their
rnimals down on the farm and in
:eedlots today and the threat of
an early widespread beef shortage
pecame more acute.
Only 14,000 head of cattle arrived
:oday for sale at the nation’s 12
orir.cii%l livestock markets, com
pared with 28,600 the same day a
veek ago.
This brought the week's receipts
:o date to 110,700 compared with
135,500 last week, which included
Memorial Day when the markets
svere closed, and 161,500 a year ago.
Sales records at the Chicago
stockyards, the nation’s largest,
show that small packers are taking
ihe bulk of the limited offerings.
Comparatively heavy shipments al
so are being sent east.
The tig packers have contended
hat the prices asked are too high
for them to comply with govern-.
ment ceilings.

$6,000 PER ROOM
FOR OPERATION OF
SCHOOLS OH BASES
— i
A. A. Ryan and Major Helena
Hendrickson left today to return
to Anchorage after several days in
Juneau conferring with Territorial
Commissioner of Education James
Ryan on military school matters.
Commissioner Ryan said that A.
A. Ryan has been made general
administrator for schools on mili
tary' basks. His headquarters will
be at Elmendorf Field.
Under the new set-up, the U. S.
Department of Education is allow
ing the Territory $6,000 per class
room unit to cover teachers' salar
ies, text books and school supplies
in operation of the schools. How
ever, if this amount is found in
sufficient, federal funds will make
up the difference. The $6,000 figure !
does not include transportation of j
children, maintenance and opera
tion of buildings nor auxiliary ag
encies, such as health, etc. These
services, it is presumed, will be'
provided by the federal government |
or some agency. It is estimated
there will be 105 classroom units
in operation on various military in
stallations.
In addition to the above allow
ance, the Territory will receive
$75,000 for purchase of school fur
niture and for administration cf
a central office. It is planned to
use $51,000 for furniture, $18,000 for
the administrative office at Elmen
dorf and $6,000 for costs of ac
counting and other expenses in the
office of the commissioner.
A. A. Ryan was superintendent cf
the Seldovia schools the past year.
Before that he was in military ser
vice from 1942 to 1950 and from
1939 to 1942 was superintendent ot
the Nome schools.
Major Hendrickson, of the Wo
men's Army Corps, is information
and education officer for the Al
askan Command.
The eight military bases on which
schools will be operated are at Adak,
Kodilik, Whittier, Elmendorf, Ft.
Richardson, Ladd Field, Eielson and
Big Delta.
REDS STEP UP
ACTIVITY ON
IRAN BORDER
TEHRAN. Iian, June 7. — IIP) —
U. S. Ambassador Henry F. Grady
said today Intelligence reports in
dicated increased Soviet military
activity along Iran's northern
frontier. But he added he saw
‘nothing particularly significant”
in the reports.
Authoiitative government officials
confirmed published reports that
unusually large Russian military
concentrations had been seen on
the Northern Frontier and that
Soviet battle exercises are contin
uing in that area.
The Soviet armies were described
as engaging in "unprecedented”
military maneuvers on both sides of
the Caspian Sea. Iran border police
have heard the sounds of gunfire
continuously for three days.
Grady made his statement at a
news conference when queried
about the reports. He said U. S. In.
telligence knows that there has
been some increase in Russian de
tensive fortifications, but nothing
further. Other sources said the So
viets have installed a giant field
gun opposite an Iranian guard post
along the Azerbaijan frontier.
The bolder activity reports Come
in the midst of tension between
Britain and Iran over the national
ization ol the Anglo-Iranian Oil
Company.
A crowd of more than 2,000 en
thusiastic supporters of nationali
zation jammed the railroad station
this morning as two of Iran’s three
temporary directors of the coun
try’s oil industry left for southern
Khuzistan Province—the oil field
area.

Lovett said today the Armed Forces
may need authority to make even
more than the $60,650.000,OCO worth
of contracts and other commit

He said in a prepared statement
that the original, unsifted request
of each of three Armed Forces total
ed about 104 billion dollars as they
turned them in to the Defense De

this to the present $60,650,000,000.
“To the best of our ability,” Lov
ett said, “we have provided funds to
support the essential procurement
programs through these minimum
lead time periods (the time required
to get contracts in, work started
and the products rolling from man
ufacturing lines).”
