Fifth Air Force said it made its biggest single attack of the Ko- rean War today on the Red supply complex at Suan. A day-long attack left the prize covered with “billowing flames and smoke,” the Air Force said. The assault on the town, 35 miles | southeast of the Red capital, Pyongyang, began at dawn and lasted until nightfall. Both jets and propeller - driven planes were hurled into the attack. Two Red jets were reported shot | down and a third damaged as they ventured far from their Man- | | churian bases apparently in an ef- fort to break up the raid. The Fifth Air Force said more | sorties were flown against Suan today than the 312 that hit Sinuiju | on the Manchurian border a year ago this month in the war’s pre- | vious biggest single raid. The Air Force reported Allied planes destroyed 97 supply build- ings in the great supply complex, damaged 50 and knocked out 18 supply revetments and 16 vehicles. Photo planes have been keeping an eye on the Red buildup at Suan, a feeder point to Chinese troops on the western front. Spokesmen said photos showed truck concen- trations, great stacks of supplies and other equipment, well guarded by anti-aircraft guns. “Tons of demolition and high explosives tore the Communist supplies to shreds,’ a Fifth Air Force communique said. “Thou- sands of gallons of fiery napalm (jellied gasoline) were spread over the target, turning piles of sup- {plies into billowing flames and smoke.” American Sabre jets and Aus- tralian Meteors screening the at-| les with flights of MIG-15s. rh fight was about 40 miles from Suan and more than 100 miles from the Manchurian bor- der, On the ground, the U.

The two big tank forces struck in a bright midday sun Wednesday on the Kumhwa-Kumsong road, a vital transportation link. One force battled two Red battalions which attacked the tanks with mortars and artillery. The tanks rumbled across rough terrain blasting the dug-in Reds.

This developed Wednesday when the House Foreign Affairs Commit- | jtee approved a $6,889,100,000 for- eign-aid program for the year end- ing June 30, 1953—more than one billion less than the $7,900,000,000 asked by President Truman..

The Senate Armed Services Com- mittee today begins its hearings on the mutual security bill. De- fense Secretary Robert A. Lovett and Secretary of State Dean Ach- eson were to be the witnesses at a closed-door session. The Senate had scheduled floor debate on the bill Monday after its Foreign Relations Committee cut an even billion dollars from the $7,900,000,000 total. But some members of the Armed Services Committee demanded a look at the bill before the Senate voted, U.S. Must Choose Between Arming American Forces Or Allied Troops Under Bill OBrien Says Gross Lied About Pay-Off Brooklyn Bookie In _ Jail Since September ~ Apparently Hopes To Win Freedom NEW YORK (®# — Boss Bookie Harry Gross, who has involved former top city officials in his multi-million dollar bookmaking business, testified today that Wil- liam Whalen, former chief of de- tectives of the New York police department had been on his pay- roll. Gross said Whalen went on his payroll right after he became an inspector, at which time Gross gave him a dinner and an expen- sive watch. Wednesday Gross testified that James J. Moran shook him-down for a $15,000 political contribution during former Mayor William O’Dwyer’s 1949 campaign. Moran, long-time political crony of O'Dwyer, is in Sing Sing Prison on a 12%-to-28 year sentence for masterminding a $500,000-a-year firemen’s shakedown racket when he was first deputy fire commis- sioner. Gross, who returned to the witness stand today, also testified he had and this was agreed upon. Rep. Vorys (R.-Ohic) said he believed another billion will be cut when the House bill reaches the floor, possibly next week. The House Foreign Affairs Com- mittee Wednesday adopted several amendments, including the one on out of American supplies. Chair- man Richards (D.-S.
