Complete the Task

ONLY one member of the entire
~ House Of Representatives voted
against the Burch bill to increase the
compensation and assure the reason
able advancement of thousands of
faithful post office department en-
ployes.
The measure was approved by $50
of the congressman.
But this action does not assure
that fight has been won on behalf
of these long neglected federal
workers.
The fight is only half won; it will
not be won unless the Burch bill is
passed by the Senate at this session.
A ND too often in the past have the
mailmen been cruelty disap-
pointed by seeing one House of Con-
gress act in their favor and the other
House fail to act at all.
That happened only last year
when a postman's pay increase bill
passed the lower House and was not
even voted upon in the upper House.
The Burch bill, which now goes
to the Senate, is better bill than the
one that was lost last year.
1t will provide the first compre
hensive reclassification and pay
adjustment in the postal service
made in 20 years-a period during
which almost all other workers have
had their earnings improved to keep
pace with the rise in the cost of
living.
IT is positive fact that the post
office department is suffering
greatly because of its obsolete pay
levels.

is up to the great leaders Of public
opinion like you to bring it home to the
American people that while their boys
are giving their lives in the belief that
they are making the supreme sacrifice in
order to make the world safe for democ-
racy the world leaders are selling out
democracy and human freedom
If the American people fail to stop
this thing their boys will be called out
to fight in third world war within the
next 15 years.
The hope Of the world peace lies not
in the hands of world statesmen assembled
at San Francisco now but in the hands of
the great American people whose high
sense of justice will not knowingly
tolerate their governments to sell out 80
million Koreans twice in 40 years.

mt been content to stay at home
when their men have gone to
war, butfor the first time in the
history of the United States
women have served overseas as
soldiers.
BY d-August of 1914 there
were 1000 Wacs overseas and
they were envied by many other
women in uniform who never
did get across. But these were
doing jobs at home that were
just as important replacing
men who were sent to the fight

REGULAR JOBS
In Washington, Army and

over the country used Wacs in
Irregular army jobs, from cooks
to mechanics. The Waves did
the same work as "storekeepers"
and "machinist's mates" in the

WASHINGTON - WH-This
war in Europe was not won
basically with the spectaculariy
new weapons, but with steadily
improved ones that had been
first tried in wars past.
The planes, the tanks, the mo-
bile artillery, and the infantry
automatic guns-all had been
tried in the last world war or
earlier. but little by little they
were developed into machines
of such tremendous destructive
mower, speed and precision that
their model T" ancestors seem
ed like toys.
There were brand new weap-
ons too-radar, primarily defen-
siye but also an element in the
wizardry of modern fire con-
troll: rockets, shot from planes
and ships; the infantry's bazoo-
ka: the German robot bombs.
Their part, relatively speaking,
was subordinate in the great
scheme of battle.
But everything that had been
used before was better, and IN
many cases much bigger-bet-
ter planes, better tanks, better
guns, better explosives. better
flame throwers. better gasoline,
land all used with daring new
conceptions of tactics. 1t all add
ed up to greater firepower, and
more efficient use of it.
FIRE INTENSIFIED
Firepower efficiency and SUI
pcriority were achieved mainly
by employing greater concen-
trations of automatic weapons.
The range and muzzle velocity
Of the guns themselves did not
greatly increase.
Planes, which carried mostly
single weapons in the last war,
bristled with guns in this. Fight
ers carried up to eight Social
Der machine guns. four 40-mm.
cannon, or combinations OF
these. The P-39 and P-63 carried
37-mm. cannon through the pro-
peller hub. Big bombers carried
multiplegun power turrets. One
version of the BIS carried IA
5O-caliber machine guns and a
75-mm. cannon.
Bombers were developed to
carry more than 10 tons OF
bombs and drop them precisely.
Bombs grew in size up to the g.
ton British blockbusters.
The big bombers brought an
entirely new strategic develop
ment in warfare. For the first
time it became possible to strike
directly at the heart Of enemy
war economy, destroying the
ehemy's power to make the
goods with which to wage war.
Before the coming of the plane
the only means of doing this
was to drive ground forces into
the heart of enemy territory.
The tank, like the plane, was
introduced in the last war and
developed much more elaborate

Greater mobility was achiev-
ed for almost every sort of force,
weapon and vehicle. The war
brought a great variety of self
propelled ground weapons in
addition 10 the tank artillery
up TO l55-mm. and anti-aircraft
up to 90 nm. With lighter ar
NOR and greater mobility, these
weapons we're able TO fight in
terchangeably with tanks in
mcchanized warfare.
Heavier artillery became more
mobile with better transport
and more ingenious arrange
ments for breaking down and
setting up the big guns. Artil-
lery was completely motorized.
The German 170-mm. gun and
the American 240-mm. hoWitZer
and 8-inch gun were among the
big artillery pieces which be-
came mobile field artillery.
Development of amphibious
vehicles profoundly affected the
strategy and the outcome of the
war. Heretofore amphibious
landings were considered the
most difficult sort of military
operation. Development of land
ing craft with end gates, togeth-
or with se1f-propelled weapons
and motor transport, permitted
landing Of vast forces at high
speed across both salt and fresh
water.

weapons, including the bazooka
