THE LOW DOWN
HICKORY GROVE.

The paper says you can now
buy a cocktail lounge for one-half
price-and the reason is that the
customers are now ordering only
a bottle of beer versus so cent or
6-bit Martini And for folks living
in local option or dry places or in
states where the bartender is the
State itself, / hasten to say that a
cocktail lounge is just the old
time saloon plus upholstered stools
and dark booths added for what
we used to call our weaker sex.
What you driving at, if any
thing, says Henry. 1t is this, l
says, I want to venture a good
word for our more or less slow
down in business that so many
folks are working up a worry
about. Business has been too big
too much big dinero has been
overflowing shallow pockets. Toe
many folks with 5 buck per bottle
fire-water under their belt have
been roamin' the highways.
Business has not been normal
"a dollars a day for plasterer
one buck for a haircut, 80 cents
for bacon are not normal. Nobody
seems happy or care-free anymore
not even the plasterer. So in
stead of worrying ourself sicl
about a slack-down in business
we should feel kinda good abou
how beer is again crowding th'
Tom Collins and hard stuff from
leadership-and it maybe won't b.
long before it will be half-wa.
safe again to venture out on tn

undeclared war which exists today
between Greece on one side and Rus
sia, as represented by her three sat-
elites, on the other.
The strengthening of Greek ma
tional forces consequently is consid-
cred of paramount Importance, not
only for the defense of Greece but
Of Turkey as well. The Turkish gov
ernment has done its best behind
the scenes to help the hard pressed
government Of King George II. Not
only have the Turks sent some sugar,
wheat and coal from their small
available surplus, but quantities of
small arms and ammunition also
have found their way to Turkeys

Europe.
For purposes of political strategy
Russia will continue to disorganize
Greece. The money spent by the
Athens government to defend itself
against the guerrillas, to keep pro-
duction going and to keep commune
cations open eats up the whole
Greek budget
The U. S. 8. r. can continue the
internal disruption of Greece with
out seriously jeopardizing her posi-.
ton in the United Nations. But if
the Soviet leaders decide that the
time is ripe for final showdown
with the western democracies, and
particularly with the United States,
Turkey will be the first object Of
aggression.

mo matter where a man is sta
toned, or under what constantly
shifting duty or changeable hours,
USAFI can still reach service men
and women with educational facil-
ities," says Maj. Glenn L. McOna-
CHA, commandant of the travelling
high school and college.
USAFI instructors take a personal
interest in their unseen students
and bend over to see that the educa-
tion-bound man gets what he wants.
For instance, an adjustment was
made to help the fellow who apollo
gized for a lesson delay when he
explained:
II am very sorry for the delay on
this lesson but my wife presented
me with daughter and I was un-
able to keep up with my work for
a while. This will not happen in
the future If can help it,"

C| University Has CIobaI Campus

MADISON, visa war-born
baby that thrived on bombs, shells
and flame to become the worlds
largest educational institution with
campus that girdles the globe will
reach its fifth birthday in April
with prospects of continued growth
in an area as large as Uncle Sam
cares to make it.
The young giant, conceived by
the Army and Navy and designed
to see that men and women in uni
form during World War II could
get whatever education they de-
sired, still is popular despite the
mastering out of millions.
Thousands of ex-servicemen and
women are taking advantage of
wartime facilities to continue their
studies and many more-one out of
every seven-still IN service are hit
ting their studies with more vigor
than ever because they have more
study time.
Courses Adjusted.
The United States Armed Forces
Institute, with world headquarters
here, escaped the ak which ended
other emergency projects.
The CT "Foxhole University"
Uncle Sam has announced, will
continue as part of the regular
peacetime military establishment.
More than 100000 enrollments
have been processed by USAFI since
April, 1942. Some 100000 are still
on an active status. New applica-
tions total 10000 monthly.
Courses have been trimmed and
adjusted to meet economy and
peacetime needs, but students con-
tinue to lombard headquarters with
some 100000 pieces of mail each
week.
The mail comes from domestic
posts and bases and from foreign
lands, where the United States mill
tary is still busy. More than 200
persons handle the chores in con-
nection with the courses, textbooks,
educational material, charts, tests
and completed lessons that travel
between the school and its far-fung
! students.

move along on directions from the
USAFTs main Office in downtown
Madison building.
Although stream1ined after the
wars end, USAFI still offers a
wide range of courses so that former
service people who retained their
USAFI status and those still active
can voluntarily continue their edu-
cation, prepare for civilian jobs, in
crease their service efficiency, or
satisfy personal interest in some
field of study.
Widely Recognized.
USAFI does not issue creditsS di-
plomas or degrees but gives certifl-
Gates attesting that the student has
completed certain courses. Seventy
two colleges and universities recog-
nize USAFI's offerings - $50 cor
respondence courses, 80 self-teach-
ing courses and more than 5000 uni
versity courses arranged through
the 72 cooperating schools.

guardsmen study anything from

want to dispute the saying that a
man can't learn after he's 35."
The setup, however, is strictly for
World War II veterans and the fee
they pay for an unlimited number
of tests and courses is 50.
Students Are Grateful.
The Institutes files are jammed
with thousands of letters from ap-
preciative students. The courses
and tests cover four years of high
school and the first year of COL
lege.
An 11-man civilian board OF
prominent educators appointed by
the Secretaries of the Army and
Navy, works with USAFI in ap-
proving the offered educational IA
cilities. Curriculum changes and re-
visions are made constantly to meet

marked. He was speaking OF South
Korea, Of course. In the Soviet
zone in the north, only the Commu-
nist-dominated leftist faction has
been permitted to survive.
Much political education still is
necessary in South Korea. Gen
Hodge pointed out that under the
years Of japanese occupation, Ko-
reans had no opportunity to gain
experience in political affairs-no
freedom of assembly, travel or ex-
change of political ideas. He warned
that no one should expect Korean
democracy to turn out exactly like
American democracy, calling for
respect of their own ideas.
While moving ahead with some
measures of self-government in
South Korea, the American policy
is in no sense intended to lead to a
separate, permanent government
for the southern part of the coun-
try. 1t is directed toward prepar-
ing Koreans to assume the respon-
sibilities of self-government in
anticipation of a unified, democratic
nation.
Putting Korea on It's feet eco
nomically will require aid from the
United States for some time. Aside
from relief to prevent starvation
assistance is needed in building up
industry, the transportation system
and training workers. This is the
type of aid Mr.. Acheson was talking
about before the Senate committee
last week. Final decisions have not
been made, but the program may
take as much as $500, 100000 over a
period of years.
Importance of Job.
The Importance of the job was
emphasized by Gen. Hilldring in
these words:9
"The sincerity of the United
States in assisting democratically
minded people to become free and
independent and really democratic
is on trial in Korea.
"All democratic people and ma
tions of the Far East are watching
our performance in Korea with
prayerful attention. If we fail tc
discharge this obligation with cour-
age and resolution, if we weary ot
our task and lay it aside, the dis
couragement and disappointment te
democratic peoples everywhere in
the world will be infinite, and the
damage to real democracy through
out the world will be incalculable.

LOOKING AHEAD

MOSCOW. - Prime speculation
inside the American delegation to
the Council of Foreign Ministers
is that Soviet reaction and possible
countermoves against United States
policy in Greece and Turkey may
be withheld pending decisions in
Congress.
Capitalization of American policy
obviously will not be final until
Congress acts, and disagreements
with President Truman's proposal
and his method in handling the
situation are receiving much at
tention in the local press.
Secretary of State Marshall may
seek to improve Soviet American
relations in outside talks with Rus
sian leaders after the conference
shakes down to normal routine.
He is expected to bring up such
subjects as the American request
for settlement of lend-lease; re-
lease Of lend-lease ships; with
drawal of Russian troops from
Dairen, Manchurian seaport, and
conditions in several Eastern
European countries, particularly

reconstruction. Politically spon-
sored strikes have been a big handi-
cap.
Some observers emphasize that
insufficient use was made of the
thousands Of Japanese soldiers left
in Burma after the war in helping
to repair the damage
Small businessmen were anxious
to get back to Burma, but the en-
thusiasm wears off after they see
conditions. Hundreds of evacuees
to India, many Of whom partici-
pated in the great trek out in
1912, have gone back to India dis
illusioned. Some say it will be
years before they can start opera
tions again; others claim they will
never return to Burma.
Burma's bid to regain its prewar
position as the worlds largest ex-
porter Of rice has been the most
encouraging feature in the tagging
renaDllltat1On program.
In the nearly two years since
Burma was liberated, about $780,
600 of the prewar 100000 acres
under rice cultivation have been re-
stored. The government expects
that by the summer Of 1948 it will
have all but 100000 acres produc-
ing again. Some Of Burma's valu-
able rice lands had been converted
by the Japanese into cotton-grow-
ing areas and it will take time to
restore them.
A. M. Thomson, chief executive
officer of the governments Agri-
cultural Projects Board Rice Divi-
sion, said Burma hopes to export
about 1,o53,000 tons of rice this year
compared to $500, 900 tons in 194l
Burma's rice has been allotted BY
the World Food Board mainly to
India. China, the Malaga States and
the Netherlands East Indies.
The wave of strikes In Rangoor
during January and February, par
ticularly the dock workers walkout

PROFESSOR!
DR.. Saul Adler, chairman of the
Post Graduate Faculty of Medi-
cal Research of the Hebrew Uni
versity, who spent some time IN
this country to assist in the $4,-
100000 drive for the Hebrew
University Medical School in Pal
estine, was preceded here by his
reputation for absentmindness.
The classic story tell of the
time DR.. Adler came home one
evening and, not being able to
decide which was his own resi-
dence, asked a little boy playing
on the street, "Do you by any
chance know which house is the
residence of DR.. Adler?" To which
the youngster replied, "But Dad
dy, don't you recognize me?"
At a reception just before he
left this country to return to Pal
estine, Mrs. Adler was asked
about her husbands absentmind-
edness, particularly whether this
story was true. Indignantly she
replied, Certainly not, my hus-
band would always recognize his
own SON."
