The last hope Is gone for a re-
vision OF the War Department or
der to transfer the famed RED
Arrow" division TO Wisconsin.
That was made clear In a letter
from Secretary OF War Patterson
to Senator Arthur II. Vandenberg,
who had made an earnest plea In
behalf OF the Michigan men who
served with that division which
saw more days OF combat than any
other"
Patterson, who admitted It was
"a difficult decision" wrote: THE
policy OF the War Department Is
to allot an historic National Guard
division during the recent war.
Wisconsin furnished both greater
strength and q larger number OF
units for the 32nd than did Mich
igan In World War III.
The regiments and other units
from Michigan which have been a
part OF the 32nd division will re-
tain their histories and records OF
service even though .hey become a
part OF the new 46th. II is believed
that tradition will be preserved by
the retention OF the uni. numeri-
cal designations that, for many
years, have been associated with

Brass Hats and Caste

When these columns were open
ed to soldiers with gripes, 1t was
with the definite desire to see JUS
tice done and the Army strength
ened. 1t was my feeling that no
Army could be powerful If thous-
ands OF soldiers felt that they were
being treated badly.
Apparently, the Communists
moved In on this normal American
sense OF the fitness OF things. They
utilized the gripes of the soldiers
and the sympathy such gripes
ELECTED to incite soldiers and their
parents to hate the Army. to hate
its officers, to hate America. Their
object, of course, is a simple one.
namely to weaken the armed
forces OF the United States so that
this country would regard itself as
incapable OF interfering with Rus
sian imperialism throughout the
world.
The point OF all this is that while
many OF the grlpes OF soldiers are
justified and whereas 1t is true
that some officers behaved fouly-
none Of that must be an excuse for
destroying the efficiency and ca
pacity OF the American armed
forces. An American officer is an
officer, not brass; his exercise OF
authority is duty, not caste.
Sergeant Joe Mccarthy, speaking
in most confused and inconclu-
sive debate on the Town Meeting
OF the Air., made this point:
%. The American enlisted man
can't see why his officers should
belong to a highly specialized,
highly privileged special officers
| caste"
He then made the point that
| what he calls the caste system"
was all right in the German and
the British armies because the of.
ficers OF those armies were mem
bers of an aristocracy. Then he
| said:
"But the United States Is not an
| aristocracy. It's a democracy. The
enlisted man in our armed forces
doesn't get this Prussian Idea OF
special -ocial privileges. In the
steel mill back home, he obeyed
orders from his boss. He didn't
associate with his boss after hours,
But, II he wanted to he could wear
the same kind of clothes as his
boss. II he could afford II, he could
eat the same kind OF food, and
drink the same kind OF liquor"
That, OF course. sounds right but
the word afford" is the rub. The
worker who earns $50 week can
not afford to live at the Waldorf
Astoria or eat at the Colony restau-
rant. He cannot afford custom
tailored suits or a Lincoln car. He
cannot AFFORD 70 belong TO the
/ Metropo'itl Club or winter al
Hobe Sound, Fla. He can afford
to do what his wages will permit
him to. His boss position and
income make the difference.
Sergeant Mccarthy used the
word. Democracy. in this debate In
accurately. What he IL arguing for

which all men are paid-in goods

An eerie feeling that the sender

The harsh signals stopped sud

favorite bloomed once more. Amid
the responsive laughter, Dumbo
stirred, then padded across the
room, his nervous body tense TO
some outside sound. Then he leaped
at the front window, giving short
frantic barks.
Eleonore followed and pulled him
down from the curtains. Outside

Then the headlights Of a car, COM

Dumbo kept barking and plung'

followed almost Immediately. She
heard q loud report. A bullet sliv-
cred the window pane above her
head, whirzed across the library
and thudded into a thick volume Of
papers Of the Presidents"
Her knees bent under her like
rubber letting her down to the
floor. When her heart was no,

Eleonore saw trickles Of blood
staining her skirt. She did not fee

saw them with surprise. "They

But II was hard to convince the

Of men but she had never encoun-
tered such a combination Of quick
silver and brass as Rab Pixley. He
was impervious TO insult, he bab-
bled in jargon, and she family sus-
pected him Of taking drugs.
