ID You See You're Middle Aged, Too!

NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF
MEDICINE in an article on Men

is need for drastic curtailment of
physical activities. Those once in
dulged in freely and with impun-
lty become no longer permissible.
In a vain attempt to disregard
these limitations, the man Of mid
die age may overtax himself ard
bring about a state of nervous x

On the other hand, if he recog-
nizes the boundaries placed on his
activities by advancing years, he
may unwisely drop all physical

They Come in Invosion Waves

1HSy SOfUS VI "V0NOU VV0VSS
OHovE OFF" is the old nautical expression,
but it hardly fits today. For what really hap
pens is that huge, amphibous tanks are
hoisted overheard for the first invasion wave.
"Alligators," the Marines called them down
at Guantanamo Bay Cuba, when they were
getting their first tests. But they are big a
gators On land they can knock trees over.
And they move in through the water at ten
miles an hour, then Chamber onto the beach
and pick up to twenty y-five miles an hour.

- OWN through the air came the parachut-
lists, swarms of them, assembling quick
- ly as they picked themselves up from
the ground. The officer beside me, observing,
grunted approvingly as the last man fiut-
tered safely to earth. The maneuver had gone
off without hitch, and he was obviously re-
lieved. He turned to me with a grin. 1.-The
Marines have landed" he said, land have
the situation well in hand"
1t was the first time had ever heard those
old, familiar words in connection with para
chute troops. But the United States Marines
today are no longer just seagomg foot
soldiers, but fighting men of the modern,
mechanized school, These parachutists were
in training - the latest of many patches
which have been learning this new fighting
trick for nearly year now. And that's not
the half of it..
Let's imagine, for a moment, that these
parachutists are not merely making a prac-
tice jump on a training field, but are landing
in enemy territory - an enemy installed
say, on an island threatening our coast What
else happens?
Well, other things have already happened
Planes have secuted the territory, spotting
the enemy positions. The whole terrain has
been charted, and every characteristic of it
studied. These parachutists have been dropped

these barges of war crowd in. Their snub-
nosed bows let down to make ramps, and the
tanks and cars and guns roll off, ready to
move in, shooting.
And so the battle is on. And that is not
just imagination. 1t is the way, with variations
in details, the Marines have invaded many
an enemy" territory in the maneuvers by
which they have been learning to make real
istic use of their new mechanized equipment.
They haven't done much talking about it.
That new amphibious tank, for instance, has
had almost the status of secret weapon;
and how many of them the Marines now have
was still well-guarded secret when last
inquired. That they have other new plans and
devices, still undisclosed, is almost certain.
But this much is absolutely certain: The
Marines are all set to maintain their old ira
ditions in many new ways.
1t has taken some doing. The Marines are
our one amphibious service. Nothing is any
good to them which they can't take aboard
ship with them. And tanks and barges won't
fold up in an of-the-way hatch. Many
Naval officer - the Marines, of course, being
an adjunct of the Navy - has looked upon
the mechanizing program as plot to clutter
up the Navy's ships with lot of heavy, un-
calmly equipment. They had to be convinced.
But Major General Thomas Holcomb,
Evening star., 1941-08-24

commandant of the Marine Corps, knows
from long experience what the job of the
Marine Corps is He has been in the Marine
Corps since 1900. has served in the Philip
pinesSin China, in France, and he knows that
if trouble comes it will almost certainly be
the Marines, as always. who will be first on
the spot. And he has studied modern warfare
in all its phases; he means to get them there
by whatever means will best serve the pur-
pose, and to have them equipped and trained
to do the job.
He is no hard-boiled, fire-eating leather
neck, this head man of today's Marines.
Sitting with him in his Office in Washington,
with its trophies and plaques and banners
won by the Marines through the years, you
get the impression of genial, kindly-eyed,
pe-smoking man, slightly rotund. informal
and friendly. But you also sense quick,
understanding mind. 1t is his nature to be
pleasant and tactful, but that does not mean
that he is easily swayed from his course.
And so when his colleagues of the Navy were
reluctant, he created no rl1mpus. stirred up
none of the bitter arguments which make
ing for the sort of equipment which would
make the Marines a modern fighting unit.
The Navy Is Proud
"WE'vE lived with the Navy 50 long," he
told me, the other day, that we understand
each other. we know how to get along to-
gether."
Certainly he knew how to get along. For
today the Navy's transports have their spe-
cial accommodations for the war machines
which will set the Marines ashore ready for
anything. And the whole Navy is as proud of
them as are the Marines themselves.
But with all the mechanization," the
General warned me, don't overlook the man
with the rifle. He is still the backbone of the
outfit. After the tanks take position, he
has to hold it."
The General himself would not be likely
to overlook the rifleman. He was chief
factor in making the Marines the crack rifle
men of the country Back in 1901, as young
second lieutenant, he led the first Marine
team that ever shot in national rifle
ing match. Up to that time, little attention
had been paid to craftsmanship in any of our
military services. The general idea had been
that there wasn't time in war for man to
do any fancy shooting: all you had to do was
to give him rifle and let him keep it firing
A few officers had begun to question that
theory. and the young second lieutenant was
heartily with them. Whatever other advan-
tage a trained marksman might have. he
reasoned out, he would at least have more
confidence in his weapon - and that would
give him more confidence in himself and make
him better soldier. THAT still holds today,
he thinks, and rifle craftsmanship is still a
major part of Marines training, even if he
may later be detailed to handle machine
guns, mortars or tanks.) From that start in
1901, the Marines went on to become the
outstanding riflemen of the country. Holcomb
himself was at one time the worlds champion

phies in his Office today bear witness to the

No Hysteria, Please

Although information conveyed to the White House and State Department from Pernambuco, Brazil, confirms the orig inal rumors that the American steamer and freighter, Robin Moor, was sunk by a German submarine in the South Att lantic, 1t is still too early for the public to demand that our government call for an accounting from Berlin Already war hysteria is skirting the fringe of the nation, just as 1t did back in 1916 and 1917 when German submarines were taking much higher toll in U. s. ship ping. There are number of points to be established before even formal protest may be made.
 But that the government will proceed directly to ascertain all the necessary ir- formation goes without saying. Our officials at Washington are proceeding in the proper manner in this investiga- ton. They have thus far ascertained the story of the actual sinking, so far as sur vivors of the episode can relate it and 1t can be forwarded from South America. There remain other factors to be de- termined. Among these are certain requirements of international law which may or may not have been violated by the commander of the German sub- marine.
 While we naturally are prone to believe that the vessel was sunk under the as- sumption that it carried such cargoes as made 1t open to attack, this may not prove to be so. Americans are quick to jump to conclusions. But in an affair of this sort, with all manner of questions to be answered, only an official probe by official sources can find the right answer. Till this is provided we can only regret that this incident has seemed to push us one step nearer to actual war with Ger many.

Confirmation Is Due

The nomination of Harlan Fiske Stone to be Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court was one of those rare strokes of genius for which President Franklin D. Roosevelt is famous. He could very easily have named some body from without the court to this extremely important post or he could have advanced one of the men whom he has appointed to this bench in the last eight years. But he chose justice of the court who has proved himself at all times liberal and great thinker.
 We feel sure that time will more than prove the wisdom of the Presidents choice. Justice Stone will be great Chief Justice And the same might be said, too, Of the Presidents choice of Sen- ator James r. Byrnes and U. s. Attorney General Robert H. Jackson to take place on the Supreme Court bench. But, in placing these men in such high posi- tions he has continued to weaken the forces that surround him in high govern mental positions All of which proves that the President Is desirous of making the Supreme Court truly representative of the very best thought in our American citizenry.
 For political reasons the President might have preferred to retain his ener- getic Attorney General or the very able Democratic legislator, Senator Byrnes, but with the need of filling vacancies in the Supreme Court he chose the very best men he could find. In so doing he now imposes another task of finding re- placements for those who have advanced to the highest court in our land Other wise the American people can still be as- sured that the Supreme Court is still to remain bhat venerable institution which we regard as symbolic of our truly repre- sentative form of government.

"All of Us" Ahead of "Any of Us"

The North American Aviation plant at Tnglewood, California, is building planes for the American people, building them for the people In cause which the people have decided is vital to their safety-the cause of national defense. A certain number of the employees of that plant struck They refused mediation by a national board headed by Q man known for his just and liberal mind. They refused pleas from the head of their national labor organization (the c. I. O. and by the head of the U. A. w., who has amply proved his devotion to the cause of organ ization. They refused the pleas of Ha- tional leaders right up to the President of the United States. All that was asked of them was that they stay on the job while their grievances were adjusted This they refused to do.
 The army has taken over the plant It is specific evidence that we are in deadly earnest about the defense drive. When the President said "the American people expect that impartial recommendations of our government services will be fol- lowed by both capital and labor," he meant just what he said, and he spoke for the American people.
 The taking over of the North American plant is not an act of the government in favor of the employer and against labor. Employers have been vehement in their opposition to any such taking over of plants Nobody wanted this. The gov- ernment was literally forced to act, since every effort to conciliate had been re- buffed. It must be borne in mind that this act is no solution of the difficulty Planes cannot be built with bayonets. But neither can planes be built by men shuffling around in picket line.
 Neither organized labor nor industry wants to see this North American prece- dent extended. It is to the advantage of neither to have the government step into strike situations in this drastic manner. There is only one way to avoid 1t. That is for both to realize that production comes first; that neither is wise in trying to insist on the last letter of their rights at the risk of the safety of the whole people.
 We believe that 95 per cent of labor and 95 per cent of management are op- posed to the uncompromising attitude that led to the North American crisis. We believe the action taken there will prove the exception, and that 1t will be used most sparingly as precedent. This is because we have faith that 95 per cent of both labor and management believe, deep down, in "all of us" ahead of "any of us"

A World of Wanderers

Perhaps no war of the past has ever driven from their homes so many people has ever created literally millions of wanderers on the face of the earth. Everyone knows, in vague general way, that many people in Europe have been forced to leave the places where they had built their homes and their lives. We nave many of them in the United States; to that extent we are usually aware of the problem. It is, however, a tragedy of such mountainous size that only a survey like that made recently by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company :an reveal it's appalling extent.
 Had you realized that these fruits have been gathered by the men who rashly decided to make Europe over by force: More than 300, 900 people have been forced to leave Germany. Perhaps 400, ,000 other Germans have been brought back into Germany from the Baltic, Polish, and BessarabIan territories seized by Russia.
 Several hundred thousand people, mostly ukrainians, were received back
