COP Joy

Most Republican leaders were de- lighted at the Burton Supreme Court appointment for several req sons. In the first place, Senator Burton didn't always vote the straight COP line, was too inde- pendent for party hack Senators Secondly, his Senatorial exit now paves the way for ex-Governor John Bricker.
 Bricker, Dewey's recent running mate, had been straining at the leash, trying to make up his mind whether to get into the Senate race. He didn't like to oppose Burton, but now he can run with a ven- geance. So, although the Republi- cans figure they lose one vote tenn porarily, they expect to gain it back next election.

ETO Gets Ready To Tackle Japs, Stilwen Says

Okinawa, (CNS) ETO vets won't need much in the way of re- training for their chores in the Pacific, Gen. Joseph W. Sti1well, CG, Army Ground Forces, thinks. He made this statement after looking over the battle-ground on this island and Luzon. Stilwell is responsible for the training of all ground force personnel prior to departure overseas
 "War is pretty much the same all over," he told correspondents. "Troops coming from Europe could pick up this cave.andtomb war fare in week. No extensive re- training will be necessary. They won't have to change their tactics very much.
 "The end of the war in Europe already has made itself felt in a freshening stream of replacements coming to the Pacific. Division commanders are very much pleased with the quality of these replacements. We are getting the best soldier material you can find anywhere.
 Ask any commander what he wants and he'll tell you-a good physical specimen, we'll disciplined and with some idea of squad and platoon tactics. He can readily teach him the specialties."
 Gen. Stilwell predicted that when our GIs take on the main Jap forces, they may meet an enc my who does not hole up in caves and Notifications as he has done in the Marianas, Two, and Okinawa.

 Mustn't forget the boys, though. A lot of city slickers messing round, talking right smart and leering like some of them fellers on the stage down at the opry house.
