I e ) t O x Safe 0f War-Useful Plants As Surplus Receives RebuKe In Senate Probers' Report By OLIVER W. DEWOLF WASHINGTON (API A senate committee leyt that government officials using lets horse sense than if they were running charity baiaar blundered badly whan thay iold war. useful plent ai turplui. Tha armed services preparedness subcommittee, headed by Senator Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex.l, declared also that. the nation's rubber position is "tar from satisfactory." in causucauy-wurnen repon, the committee sa.d government agencies concerned are doini; fine on their paper work hut not on performance. It particularly crit icized disposal of production plants which are needed in the defense program. The 37-page report was a sequel to one issued last Sept. S in which the group, set up as a sort of watchdog of the whole rearmament program, found a "siesta psychol ogy" in handling of surplus prop erly and ruhber programs. "It ill becomes government of ficials to conduct the public busi ness with less prudence than they would display in operating a char ity bazaar," the new report said. But mat has happened." The committee singled out the Munitions board, Commerce de partment, General Services admin istration and air force for specific criticism. In a general indictment of these four and others, it said: "Progress in paper work of which there has been considerable is no substitute for progress in performance of which there has not been enough. Paper-work pre paredness is only flimsy protection against the threat we face." Rubber Supply Short The subcommittee took a pessi mistic view of the nation's ruhber situation on all fronts natural, synthetic and synthetic compo nents. It ured both government and industry "while there is still time" to adopt an aggressive program for acquiring natural rubber sup plies from Asia. And turtner re search for rubber production in this hemisphere was urgently rec ommended. ( "Rubber is in short supply," the report summed up. '"adequate re lief is not yet in sight. But present hardships may well be luxuries compared with hardships that will develop if our rubber limitation and allocation measures are net strengthened immediately." The committee said, too, that this country is being gouged un mercifully in buying natural rub ber froip friendly nations.

Korea (API There are HO.OOf puzzled United Nations soldiers in the grand offensive now under way to seize the northwest corner of the Korean icebox. They are members of the Eighth army malting a drive to the Manchurian border which they hope will wind up -the dreary, five-months-old Korean campaign. But their puzzlement is as deep ; as their hopes are high. No sol dier really knows what lies ahead. This is as true of commanding gen erals in the field as it is of the pri vates who carry out their plans. Therefore there are 110.000 men marching forward strongly but cautiously on a journey into doubt. They are like a man moving at twilight through a strange and fro zen forest who sees nothing in sight to harm him but uneasily feels the eyes of unseen foes upon 'him. Intelligence officers believe that at present there are no more than 100. 000 North Korean and Chinese "volunteers" in the 50 and 60 miles of rugged mountains that lie be tween the Eighth army and the Yalu river frontier; Uncertainty Reigns The doubt lies in wheihr fnl force will be steadily reinforced by scores of thousands of fresh troops brought secretly across the border h , k k our n mrfht "I'nliinlaaee " AnH ns hearts oil. "Third, they nw have 100,000 men in good defensive terra in acain.st our 110.000 men. If they are well led and supplied they can keep us pushing and tugging all winter. And that's what 1 think they will at least try to do." - But most of the troops are more optimistic. They feel that diplo matic decisions are in the making at high levels. Despite the cold weather their morale is high. They are glati the lull is over and that been wounded twice in this cam paign anil I feel my luck won't last a third time. But I'm a pro fessional soldier and that's the chance we take. If they want real war it might as well start now." Private Analysts Situation A philosophic private "H e 1 1, better to freeze going forward than to freeze sitting on your rump wait ing for the Chinese to make up their minds." One military analyst put the mili tary situation this way: "There are three possibilities "First, the enemy can pull its general staff back across the bor der and let its troops fight awhile I ami inrii mrw u iiic inns as gwi" A rillas. That's what they did when we marie the breakthrough last September and they may do it again.

And on that critical point there is a new Chinese wall a wall of Chinese silence. This uncertainty is peculiarly ex asperating to the military miml. Commanders don't like to commit their own troops to battle until they are pretty sure what the en emy is trying to do and what he is capable of doing. And there are those who believe that if Red China does cross the Manchurian border in power, the current attack by 110,000 soldiers will turn out to be j , e marcn in merely one of the largest patrol I r'fa Roa actions in history. j And tn v nave , r(,at failh in "Frankly 1 don know what wil j .pneral Do , MacArlhur.
