Preparations For Long War Shaping Up At Home
A Navy spokesman outlined preparations for broad war readiness, noting 40,000 sailors and half a million tons moved to the Far East since Korea began, with two million barrels of petroleum sent to Korea. Navy supply ships increased by 230 since June end, 194 chartered from private firms, while 85 percent of Pacific moves were by Military Transport Service. The Army opens eleven advanced replacement centers for rapid soldier training, with inductees receiving seven weeks basic training plus eight weeks at centers. Senators Wiley and Mundt push anti-Communist measures, while British Labourites block European army plans and Truman tax plans face Senate action. The five-billion tax package aims for major tax boosts, with exemptions for GIs, and possible changes to corporate taxes. Military training and anti-subversive legislation loom, with defense needs shaping budget and policy.
