' iry of State Dean Acheson is
ying home to report on the new
plans for the defense of Europe.
Acheson attended the two-day
North Atlantic Treaty Council
meeting ’at Brussels. The Coun-
cil agreed on a European army
of nearly one-million men, in-
cluding Germans, if possible, to
defend against aggression. Ache-
son says the Brussels agreement
is a “peace plan to save Europe
from communism.”
He chatted with newsmen this
morning before taking off aboard
President Truman’s plane, The
Independence. He discussed the
plans to raise and equip the
army and to persuade the Ger-
mans to take part in it
Obviously referring to Ger-
many, Acheson Mid “The only
way to maintain peace is to build
up sufficient strength so that you
do not have a vacuum with a
possibility of aggression filling
it.” He said “we have a long way
to go. We have wasted a lot ot
time on non-productive things.”
Russia has announced that re-
arming Germany would be a vio-
lation of the Potsdam agreement.
Acheson was asked about possi-
ble Russian retaliation. He re-
plied impatiently, "We are not
interested in risks. We are just

There is no quiet rear area in
the Hungnam beachhead today.
; United ‘Press Correspondent
William Chapman has filed his
1 first detailed dispatch through
the full censorship clamped on
by General MacArthur.
Chapman says: "There is no
place to stand inside the beach-
head where the concuaaion of
heavy artillery fire is not felt."
Foo Usm Artillery
The day. and night storm of
Alltel artillery, plane,, tank and
warship guns in the 10-square
mile front has kept the commu-
nists from launching a new hu-
man sea assaults on the line.
Instead, the Reds have brought
up artillery of their own for the
first time.
However, the enemy fired only
fbur rounds from the big guns
the first night, to avoid giving
away their positions. The com-
munists also opened up with
mortar fire on the outposts held
by the American Third Division.
But the Yank line has held
firmly everywhere. Every valley,
ridge and cluster of trees in front
of the Gl’s is being shattered
methodically in the Allied bom-
bardment. Chapman says the
massed American artillery broke
up at least one enemy concen-
