Sea. Harry f. Byrd a a asked Lovett who is responsible for not getting the ammunition Byrd said he wanted the name of the official who is responsible for not letting the would be utterly impossible to identify an individual or a group of individuals Lovett said. I think we must assign it to the Rainy As a whole,1?Lovett, defense Secretary in the Truman administration left office Jan. 20 when the be publicans took Over. I other highlights of Lovett s Testi Mony 1a declaration that his patience became completely exhausted and he took the. Korean ammunition problem out of the army s bands. Lovett said he assigned his Deputy Hugh Dean to handle the problem last november.2"complete disagreement with earlier testimony by Gen j. La tort Collins that rest icons imposed on the army by the defense depart Mea caused the korean shortages.

It made no sense to me Lovelt said. He reported that Collins and face assured him they were correcting it 5there were shortages of the five types of ammunition in Korea from time to time and sometimes they were critical but sometimes there also were excess supplier of critical items and distribution As Well As production was part of the shortage problem. 6"a Flat no to Collins View that cuts in the army ammunition budget made by to defense de 3 deny red charges of former Fri agent Boston april 9 up three persons denied yesterday the charges of Herbert a Hebrick former Fri undercover agent that they had attended postwar communist cell meetings George Faccon a suspended Boston schoolteacher his wife Janet and a Albenia of Anthony a retired Springfield mass., schoolteacher joined in denying the charges Philbrick made tuesday in Washington 5before she Senate internal Security subcommittee.

Christie s counsel Derek Curtis Bennett asked when the Case would be opened and the police replied possibly next week. Then the magistrate announced the Extension. Sex Secretary Calls ordnance setup obsolete apartment contributed to the prob Lem. He said the army still has some unspent Money. 7"the facts do not support Van Fleet s statement about a continuous Shell shortage. For example Lovett said Van Fleet testified he bad no Reserve stocks in korean dumps in May 1951, yet in the following month he was crying to be turned Loose in an offensive. That indicated he had enough ammunition for an attack Lovett said. A army ordnance accounting is so inaccurate that it is extremely difficult to determine the facts he said an attempt is being made to revamp both the ordnance and accounting systems. 9the armed services were not combat worthy in 1950 and arms plants had closed but Sonie people had a false sense of Security be cause of vast world War h am munition stocks. Also he said Lack of reliable information led to in adequate planning and steady production goals were not set promptly. 10a shift from brass to steel Shell casings slowed production. Lovett also said there was Over optimism or about . Industry s ability to shift to War production quickly and smoothly. He said the 1952 steel strike Hurt ammunition supplies in general but not the five critical types because the steel Industry made heroic efforts to produce steel for them. Rumours begin in "31 he said he first heard rumours in october 1551 that 105-mm howitzer ammunition was becoming critically Short he relayed this to Pace. Thereafter the ammunition problem came in for his attention at least weekly Lovett said Lovett said the army should have got on top of this thin gone to the plants and broken the bottle neck. There is no substitute for that you can t cure a disease until you identify it Lovett said that the army never lacked funds to Supply five types of ammunition which were scarcest. As proof he said the army still had not obligated 53,300,000,000 of its funds when be left of tace in january. Nor he said did the army Lack authority to order ammunition products. If the army had met a production schedule which it submitted in july 1951, Lovett said we would not Only have bad am munition to meet All korean needs but would have been pouring it into the Reserve in this country.
