Carson refused to traipse through
the Southwest until bulldozer had
cleared the way?
And Mr.. Hoch. and you, Mr..
Knight, what makes you so sure
that Boone and Carson would not
have preferred to have walked down
a paved highway on their explora-
tions than to have to blaze the
trails they did? Don't try to tell
me, either one OF you, that Daniel
would have turned down a lift In
a Greyhound bus, or that Kit
wouldn't have preferred to pass
those Indians at so miles per hour

Furthermore-and as an old in
fantry foot soldier who is sick and
tired of walking, I am getting mad
at the pair of you-don't tell me
that you'd stop with just building
trails. 1t wouldn't be long. after
the trails were built, that some o1
those modern pioneers would want

with drinking fountains. hot dog
and pop counters, shoe half-solinl

traitor, is against building the trails,
and argues that the shoulders on
the highways are good enough for
those who like to tear around the
Nation on foot.
Mr.. Hoch, however, says, There
is no pleasure in walking along an
open, hot road in an area of gas
fumes" Backing him up is one
L. F. Knight, assistant chief OF the
Forestry Service, who says, "Hikers
want to recapture the past, follow
the paths of Kit Carson and Daniel
Boone, experience the pioneer feel
ing of self f-sufficiency."
Why Not Grab an AK?
What puzzles me is If Messrs.
Hoch. knight and those they are
speaking for, really want to recap
ture the pioneer flavor, why don't
they grab an ak and go out in
the woods and do what the from
tiersmen did, which was to build
their own trails. Do they think

@. Will a young man, a junior
in high school, be able to complete
his high school education before
entering the Army? He will be 18
years old next November.-R. K.
A. The Selective Service System
recently announced change in its
regulations which will allow any
youth who entered high school be-
fore he was 18 years of age to re-
main until his graduation, or until
he becomes 20, whichever is earlier.
The student must, however. stay in
the school continuously and salts
factorily."
@. What is the largest number of
battle stars a soldier has won dur
ing the recent warp. j. w.
A. The War Department says
that, due to the large number of en-
gagements and widely separated
areas for which the battle stars have
been awarded Army personnel in
the present war, it would be impos-
sible to determine the greatest num-
ber of battle stars one soldier could
receive.
@. What Is the lighter solid sub
stance, magnesium or lithium?-C.
B.J.
A. The metal lithium. Magnes-
ium is the lightest metal in COM
mon use.
@. Is West Point graduate likely
to be sent overseas now that the
fighting is over? The man In ques-
ton is graduate of the class of
1945.-V. D.
A. The War Department says that
| If graduate of the United States
Military Academy has accepted a
commission as second lieutenant in
the Army he is eligible for assign
ment wherever needed.
@. Was the practice of assigning
officers and men of the Armed
Guard Division of the Navy to man
the guns aboard merchant ships
used before World War II?-N.
DE.
A. The assignment of Navy gun
ners to merchant vessels goes back
to the Revolution, when privateers-
men, granted letters of marque by
the Continental Congress, were often
given a crew Of gunners to aid in
their defense against the British
warships.
@. Are the men who were drafted
and discharged before December z
1941, entitled to veterans benefits
such as hospital care?-E. S. S.
A.. The Veterans Administration
says that disqualification and domi-
Iciliary care are available to these
veterans If discharged for disability
incurred in line of duty or if in re-
ceipt of a pension for a service dis
ability. Benefits of the CT bill and
vocational rehabilitation training
are also available If eligibility re-
quirements are met.
i @. Will college entrance require
ments be modified in the case of q
veteran who wishes to study arch.
! itecture but who cannot qualify ir
all the required subjects?-J. C. B
A. College authorities state that
. special aptitude and other tests viii
be given to returned veterans to SET
whether they are ready for college
, work. If it is decided that additiona
, high school training is necessary
courses are available at day ane
night schools. The student may ad

come back from q wa. and groan
about how beautiful nature is.
Personally, / am glad that Mr..
Hoch and Mr.. Knight and their
fellow travellers, are going to stay
of the shoulders Of the highways.

On the Other Hand
Says Army Out of Its Element When
It Seeks to Make National Policy

States and a civilian. having some
understanding of what, could and
should be done in a democracy, even
in wartime, simply laid the proposal
away where it never would be seen
again and, in due time, provided a
plan that would work--a voluntary
censorship that fitted properly into
our democratic scheme of life.
1t is too bad that the Army's no.
ton of what to do about atomic re-
search did not meet the same fate.
Evening star., 1945-11-01

apprehension and hope shared by all
of us. He suggested course Of
action.
The United States, he said in
effect, as the strongest democratic
power in the world has response
bility, in keeping with its strength,
for bringing into being a world of
peace and freedom. But, he argued,
If we dissipate our strength, as we
did following the First World War,
our influence will be lost; there will
be none to listen to us. Therefore it
should be our policy to remain
strong, on land and sea and in the
air.
All Of which seems to add up. In
any case, Gen. Marshall is bound to
follow that line of reasoning, since
he has not yet relinquished his re-
sponsibility for the defense of the
United States. He is still chief of
staff. If a peaceful order of life
between nations is achieved, well
and good; he can accept the lessen
ing of our military strength; but
until that happens he can properly
consider it his duty to keep the
country prepared to fight.
Army Thinking at Best.
This is Army thinking at its best.
1t is not the thinking of those Army
men who sometimes seek to make
our national policy for us in a
broader field, those who attempt to
tell us who our enemies are or ought
to be. And it does the Army no dis
credit to say that we cannot leave
our thinking in the broader field to
the men who have spent their lives
in the special field of military opera
tions. They naturally see all prob
lens through the eyes of military
operators.
This, it can hardly be doubted, is
the explanation of the Army's ap-
proach to the problem presented by
the atomic bomb and the develop
ment of nuclear energy, as revealed
in the May-Johnson bill. That bill
obviously represents an attempt by
the Army to do in peacetime pre-
cisely what 1t would do in wartime
It would place around all research
and experiment a wall OF secrecy
through which no citizen coulc
penetrate; it would close the mouths
of all scientists, perhaps even theil
minds. It would dangle dangerous
secret over the heads of all possible
potential enemies and, while not
meaning to do so, would make us
enemies everywhere in the world.
This bill is so undemocratic in its
concept and its terms that the out.
cry against 1t, heard from citizens
and newspapers, liberal and con-
servative, continues to grow in In
tensity. The Army probably is sur
prised by the furore 1t has created
Censorship Plan Recalled.
And so the Army Is certain to be
whenever 1t undertakes to move out
of It's specialized field. So would
the Army and the Navy - have
been at the outset of the recent wal
had they been permitted to name
the conditions of civilian life, a.
they were willing to do. In those
days, thinking only Of the job they
had to do and whatever might in.
terfere with their doing it, the Arm,
and Navy prepared a plan for do
mestic censorship that could only b.
compared to that imposed on th'
German people by the German Gen
eral Staff. Complete in every de
tail, even to the handling of tn,

PILOT FOUND, KILLED
Plane Wreckage Found North Of Nome

Pilot Gene Jack of the Arctic Air Service of Candle, found the Wreckage of the missing plane of the Ferguson Airways fo Kotze- bue, a 4-place Cessna, piloted by Don George, enrOute to Kotzebue. The plane was sighted between lmiruk Lake and the low hills to the west, about 115 miles north of Nome on Monday afternoon, fol- lowing a five-day search by every available plane in the area.
 Pilot Jack was unable to find a landing spot in the gathering dusk, so returned to Nome, and after fueling his plane, returned to the scene Tuesday morning, land ing some distance from the wreck ed plane. Jack then walked to the plane, and observed that the plane seemed to have spun to the earth, wrecking the plane and killing the pilot, Don George, in- stantly. The body of the pilot was frozen into the wreckage of the plane and parts of the plane would have to be cut away in or der to remove the body.
 Arrangements were made to have a rescue party take the necessary tools to the wreckage to extricate the body.
 Don George, 28, pilot for Fergu- son Airways, was formerly a me chanic with the CA.A. at Nome and Anchorage, and has been fly ing commercially only few months.

Diplomat Tried To Get Lend Lease For Communists

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5-(P)- Maj. Gen. Hurley charged a car ger diplomat he left in charge of the Embassy in Chungking sought to destroy the Chinese Nation alist government by getting lend lease arms for Chinese Commun- ists. He said the official was George Acheson, Jr., counselor for the Chungking Embassy. Hur- ley added the arms were not given to the Communists.
 Acheson was later recalled from China and also testified before the Senate Foreign Relations commit tee that the career diplomat John Service, assigned to General Still well in China, proposed in Octo- Der, 1944, that the government of Chiang Kai-Shek be allowed to collapse. The former Ambassador to China said he was unable to fire Service at the time of the proposal, because Service was un- der Gen. Stilwell, then American commander in China.
