WASHINGTON UPI — U.S. troops in the war in Viet Nam are firing their rifles and machine guns at a rate of better than 1 billion bullets a year and the figure is expected to go still higher. The rate of ammunition now being used amounts to more than 4,000 rounds for each of the 230,000 troops the Communists are estimated to have in South Viet Nam. It does not include the grenades, mortar and artillery shells, rockets and bombs that are being rained on the enemy. Nor does it include any of the ammunition used by South Vietnamese troops, which outnumber the American forces. U.S. officials, who based the 1 billion figure on the estimated ammunition consumption for this month, indicated tha rate is expected to rise steadily during the year. They said U.S. commanders in the field will get whatever additional forces they need. Overcrowded South Vietnamese port facilities will be increased 75 per cent by intensive construction designed to swell the flow of ammunition and supplies during the first half of 1966. V The officials added they are trying to substitute money for men wherever possible. They believe ample use of ammunition and equipment such as helicopters is a way of reducing American casualties and saving American lives. Their statements were regarded as a partial answer to congressional assertions that the per capita and per kill cost of the Vietnamese has risen far above previous conflicts.
