FAY AooeUtrd Press Military Reporter WASHINGTON, JuJy 27, (AP) AjBjbuncement that Britain is wading, and other United Nations countriet may ground troops to comes In one of the durk- est hours of American military history, What American military men want now are more combat-ready troops quickly, urgently. How quickly? There are no firm estimates now, but the next two or three weeks can be highly-critical.

They maintain that view publicly and privately.

They say that during the next few weeks the reinforcements from the United States, plus more and better arms and ammunition, should be able to get into action. That is the critical time.

The Pentagon looked sadly on the departure from the eastern hemisphere of Holland's colonial army. Units of the Royal Netherlands, Indies Army were getting ready yesterday to pull out of for home. These soldiers have fought for years, are highly skilled at in- lighting through rugged, mountainous terrain like Korea. But Burman Van Vreden, 'commander of the Dutch forces in Indonesia said diversion of his troops to Korea was "out of the question."
