Occupation Troops

Raleigh So ounds
Wa. eech To
81 Club

A warning that America
could not pull its occupation
forces out of Germany now,
unless we wished Russia to
over-run tn e continent, in
Guiding England, was sounded
here yesterday by one Of the
states outstanding editors and
publishers.
In a brief talk before the
Rotary club at it's weekly
luncheon in the Friendly cafe
terra, John A. Park, publisher
of the Raleigh Times, declared
that the greatest obstacle to be
overcome in Europe now is
Russia.
Park was introduced by J..
Walter Webb, general manager
of the Star-News newspapers.
Basing his talk on a month
long visit to Germany in the
early spring, Park prefaced
his remarks by saying that
what he was going to relate
was not a beautiful picture
but that it was not one without
hope.
He described the horrors of
Berlin, in the Russian zone,
where the people live with only
the barest conveniences, and
children with tooth-pick legs;
he described the vast Krupp
munitions works; and told of
his visit to the infamous Munich
beer hall where Hitler made
his first putsch.
Little Fresh Food
During my 80 days over
SEAS" he said, 81 did not taste
fresh food but one time. And
that food was lettuce"
"Our greatest obstacle in
Europe today" said he, "is
Russia. And the four major
problems to be solved are:
Food, fuel, fear, and frustra-
ton"
To deal with the greatest OBJ
stacle, he said, "we must con-
tinue to occupy the zone laid
out for us in Germany. If we
should pull out Of Germany
now, the Russians would soon
%over-run the entire continent of
Europe, including England"
While he said he was opposed
to heavy taxation, he declared

r S H BATTLE

FORT FISHER BATTLE -
Much has been written about the
Battle of Fort Fisher. Although
some historians in later years
have admitted that many his
tories have not given the battle
its proper proportion in COM
parison with other naval con-
flicts of the Civil War.
OF proper interest is the report
of General Whiting, general COM
mander of the area for the Con
federacy. In his official report
of the capture of the fort which
occurred on the night of Jan
uary Is, 1885, after the unprece,

three days, the general had the
following to write.

DEFENSE THEORY CUES

questioned the tactics of allow

resistance. General Writings re-
port seems to bear out those
historians. At worst, historians
point out, resistance would have
considerably slowed up the at

would have long delayed its
eventual capture.
General Whiting goes on to
write in his report that ION Sun

It was concentrated on the
