...ORDNANCE. Shortages of .30-and .50-cal. machine-gun rounds, of ammunition for 20-mm. antitank guns and, most important, of 7.62-mm. ammo for the M-14 rifle. Most of the ammunition now being turned out goes straight to Viet Nam, leaving such units as the U.S. Seventh Army in Europe in short supply...
