Senate probes Korea armament delays and misfires
Senator Kem urges a Senate investigation into Administration failures to properly arm ground, air, and naval forces in Korea. He cites only 24 million dollars in weapons deliveries after two years, calls for end to policies hindering rearmament, notes 109000 American casualties, and criticizes continued use of World War II stockpiles and outdated equipment. He cites Barber Shop Quartet support and a lighthearted Senate exchange on sending a quartet to the contest.
