Army Ground Forces
Extends Basic Period
|0f Recruit Training
Ry NeIson IA. Shepnrd

By Nelson N. Shepard
The Army Ground Forces Is dis
lcarding its eight-Week basic training
/ for peacetime recruits on May 5 as
unsatisfactory, Gen. Jacob 1. Deyers
revealed today, and Is substituting .
more thorough 13-week course.
aimed primarily at producing better
overseas replacements for occupa-
tional duties.
4 Bearing IN mind criticisms of
military discipline and conduct, the
Il AGF commander said: s@The trainee
will be taught to realize that he is
an ambassador Of the Army and
that, by his conduct, personal ap-
pearance and attainment Of his mis-
sion, he will aid in increasing the
standards Of military service"
II Reason for the change, 1t was In
dicated at the War Department,
was the grave concern Of Secretary
Patterson and Gen. Eisenhower,
Chief OF Staf1, for the Army's pres
/ tige In Germany and Japan. They
|Ihaye felt that the too-brief period
Of training was largely to blame for
\ the unsoldierly conduct and mis-
understanding Of military duties on
the part OF many youthful replace
4 ments.
4 Leadership and Training.
4 Now that the pressing demand for
accelerating the training Of over
seas requirements has. passed, Gen
4 Devers said, more time and effort
can be spared in turning out q we'll
4 schooled soldier for occupational
1 duties. Originally it took Is weeks
H to turn out soldier trained In basic
/ duties. When Gen. Eisenhower and
4 Gen. Douglas Macarthur stepped up
/ their demands for requirements
during the latter period Of the war
/ the period was cut to eight weeks.
Il Leadership and citizenship train
l ing will play an important part IN
/ the new program, Gen. Devers ex-
planned. An understanding Of special
occupational duties also will be re-
quired.
| The leadership training win be
given top priority in the cases OF
| the three-year enlistees, men on
whom the Army can better afford to
spend time and effort in view Of the
service 1t will get from them. This
does not mean the men will emerge
from the basic course as non-com-
missioned officers, Gen. Devers de-
clared. They will be better prepared,
however, to earn their non-com
stripes and will stand better
chance OF being selected for Ofncer
Candidate Schools.
| Gen. Devers emphasized the In
crease in training time will be adj
ministered without an increase In
overhead personnel.
Better Physical Condition.
Hand in hand with increased en-
iphasis placed on occupational duties,
the new program will stress better
physical conditioning Of the soldier.
One full week will be spent on q
field bivouac, under simulated COM
bat conditions. Altogether, a total
Of about 200 hours has been added
to the replacement training pro-
gram. It will be maintained on q
40-hour week basis.
1.-THE basic requirements Of the
new program not only will prepare
the trainee to take his proper place
In a peacetime army, but also make
him better citizen" Gen. Deyers
explained.
Through this training, he will be
given an understanding OF the con-
ditiops and importance Of his serv-
ice, the duties and need for occupa-
ton troops and advantages the
service offers him."

AGRICULTURAL GROUP SET ELEMENT IN ALASKA

In consideration of climate, ac- possibility and character of the ag- ricultural land, the Interior De- partment recently estimated that $40 new farm families may have reasonable expectation of estab- fishing successful farm enterpris- es" in the Territory.
 The report was made following a request of Secretary Krug that the Bureau of Land Management locate areas suitable for veterans farming projects. Associate Direc- tor WolfSohn of the bureau stated, in his letter of transmittal to the Secretary, "At first glance the es- timate may appear to be ultracon- servative. However, when it is considered that this additional set clement in all probability would more than double the productive crop acreage in the Territory, the estimate assumes significant pro- portions"

Reckless ''Economy" Talk

(ROcky Mountain NeWS)
 CONGRESS HAD BETTER heed the warnings of Sec retaries Patterson and Forrestal and Generals Esen hover and MacArthur against proposed cuts in military appropriations
 These know what they're talking about when they say that such reductions Republican leaders advocating would invite disaster.
 We understand the Republicans eagerness find some way of saving enough money to let them make good on their promises of lower taxes. And certainly there is for safe pairing in the army navy and air force budgets submitted by President Truman.
 But that operation ought to be performed with seal pei, not meat-ax This is time to risk crippng the services which still best insurance of national security and world peace.
 Congress has not yet done the careful work to determine how far in what respects military penditures be cut without danger What the Repub lican leaders proposing is only guess And Con- gressional guessing that subject is itself perilous Coming on the eve of the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers in Moscow, impairs bargaining position It gives other nations to hope fear that America is about to disspate the armed strength essential, under present conditions, to support firm foreign policy
 The American people want Congress to end waste and extravaganza in every branch of the government, n cuding the army and navy. But we believe vast ority would rather have tax cut this year than the military services weakened by reckless and unn formed stab at economy.

ALASKA SHIPPING

The House of Representatives this week gave cognizance to the gravity of the operation of vessels in the Alaska trade by approving two resolutions, one to extend gov ernment operation for an addition al four-month period until July 1, and the other to authorize partial government subsidy in the form of ship charter at nominal rates and hull insurance.
 It is expected action by the Sen ate will take place the early part of the week of February 24 on these two resolutions.
