course in simple strangulation and elementary mayhem to IF student officers. These students are chased as either recreation officers" or special services officers" But the recreation they're planting for the enemy is no Sunday school picnic, and the Special servicing" now in preparation is a bumper to- bumper going over which even a jiu-jitsu- trained Jap is not likely to survive, let alone forget.
 Included in the good doctors course of study is a rope trick of his own invention. It is not to be confused with the Hindo rope trick. It combines the best features of cowpuncher's calf ropnig tech- nique with the worst features of the gangsters' neck-to-knee strangle knot. Tn use, five-feet length of sash cord is looped around an en- emy,s knees, while the commando fighter at the other end of the rope jams a boot in the enemy's groin. While he is doubled up and gasping the commando draws the loose ends around the adversary's neck, tieing them in front.
 If the victim jerks his legs, he strangles himself. If he doesn't die quickly, trying to get loose, the com- mando can hasten the process by sitting on the enemy's face and pushing his knees forward.

Once pr. Eliscue was demonstrat- ing the rope trick on one of his stu dents, a husky ex-football star. He tied him up, then turned to his class to discuss the stunt. He just happened to look around 1 ntime. The hog-tied grid star, unable to speak. afraid to move, was purple in the face.
 you CAN'T BOX
 WITH A RATTLESNAKE"
 "The student officers also learn tumbling-as useful to parachut- ist as it is to a circus performer and horizontal diving in order to present a minimum target while jumping into fox holes. Some of them have been hurt in the process, but they're coming out of it more than a match for an url- principled adversary.
 When the course began, Dr. Eliscu told his class, I'm going to teach you legitimate wrestling and the toughest, dirtiest kind of wrestling you've ever seen. I'm going to teach you elementary judo and I'm going to teach you how to kill with your hands"
 This doesn't mean that there is an effort to brutalize the American army. It's simply that this is a war with an enemy who has chosen to fight with unciyilized cruelty and who must be fought the same way. You can't box with rattlesnake

 The Axis has asked for that kind of fighting, and the army is going to see that they get 1t. If MT.

Upho|ds States in
Curbing Picketing
Tribunal Refuses Ban
On Laws Restricting
NOn-Strike Displays

WASHINGTON, March 30.
(UP) - The supreme court.
by a 5 to 4 division, ruled to-
day that states may prohibit
peaceful picketing which is
not confined directly to the labor
dispute from which it grew.
The ruling game in a decision up
holding Texas state court injunc-
ton which barred two AFL unions
from picketing a Houston cafe.
The decision was one of three sig
nificant rulings handed down by
the court today on labor matters.
Both the other labor rulings were
unanimous. One held that enact
ment of the National Labor Rela-
tionS law did not prevent states
from enacting their own labor peace
statutes, specifically Wisconsins. The
other set aside a New York state
court injunction which prohibited
peaceful picketing in a New York
City labor controversy
In the Texas case, Justice Felix
Frankfurter delivered the ma ajority
opinion in which Chief Justice Har-
Ian Fiske Stone and Justices owen
j. Roberts, James F.. ByrneS and
Robert II. Jackson concurred. JUS
