Gray Denies Dispute
Between Army, AT
On Tactical Support
Ry John A. Giles

Secretary OF the Army ITdy
said yesterday that he would
consider it a disservice on the
part of anybody to make 1t ap-
pear that there is any major
dispute" between the Army and
Air Force over the problem Of
tactical air support Of ground
troops.
Sure, there have been some
differences of opinion just as
there are within the Army itself
between those who favor greater
stress for infantry and those who
favor the armored divisions, for
instance" he said in an inter-
view.
And to say that the Army has
been given perfect tactical air
support would be as foolish as to
say we have a perfect Army" he
continued.
But the Air Force and the
whole National Military Estab-
lishment recognizes and appre-
ciates that ground forces could
not fight without tactical air sup
port. The attitudes and plans
are adequate and we are going
along together"
Problems Are Being Solved.
There have been reports that
top Army officials were concerned
that the Air Force was concen-
trating on its long-range (B-36)
bombardment plane program at
the expense Of air support OF
the ground troops. One high
ranking officer even has been
quoted as proposing that the air
arm be allowed to concentrate
all its strength on long-range
strategic air warfare and that
the tactical air support role be
given to Naval and Marine Corps
aviation.
But Secretary Gray said that
"generally speaking tactical air
support was being worked out on
q very sound basis with the Air
Force.
I'VE are working out our prob
lens and there are no obstacles or
wrong attitudes" he declared.
He pointed out that all three
services had budget limitations
which were sensible" when con-

held that the best utilization of
Negro manpower was to have
units stated and manned by
Negores and then to integrate
those units within, battalions along
with white units. This policy has
been attacked by Negro leaders
and Defense Secretary johnson
has ordered the Army to come up
with another plan.
Mr.. Gray said he did not see
any possibility of using the Selec-
tive Service law to keep the Army
up to authorized strength within
the foreseeable future" But he
said the Draft Act should be kept
on the books for two reasons:

budget it would be impossible for
all the services to have all they
want, however nice that would be, y
he said. But I would like to en-
phasis that the Army and Air
Force have not been in any strug-
gle over tactical air support"
AS reported in The Star We'd

what Maj. Gen. Robert M. Lee,
commander of the Tactical Air
Command, termed advance head
quarters" at Pope Air Force Base,

Army. Army requirements for

LET'S TRY TO SAVE SOME LIVES

There are more than 10000 persons killed in
automobile accidents in this country every
year, according to reliable estimates.
The American public, and that includes the
residents Of Mcdowell county have been and
still are strangely unconcerned over this death
rate. They seem to take if for granted that
motor vehicles and dead pedestrians go to:
gether and even, if, at times, the occupants OF
the automobiles get killed, the accident is usu-
Ially termed "unavoidab able'
How many people really believe that this
is the truth half of the time? Not many, in our
opinion! Speeding, drunken driving and reck-
less driving tell the story more often than
otherwise.
Why wouldn't it be good idea to have a
more rigid investigation, of these accidents !?
Why wouldn't it be good idea to find out the
facts about non-fata accidents, which might
reveal careless driving which will probably
kill someone the next time?

in selfish capacity. We have no idea of let

u. S. POPULATION GROWING

Nine years ago the population of the United
States was 131 ,669,275 persons, but officials
of the Bureau of the Census expect that the
count to be taken in 1880 will show more than
$50, 100000 residents in the continental area.
The 0,000-increase, which is expected,
will be the largest in the history of the country.
The next largest growth appeared between
1920 and 1880 when 100000 people were
added to the number of residents incidentally,
the count next year is expected to show fe-
male majority in the United States for the
first time.
The count of heads will cost the United

CHURCHES AND INFLUENCE

There are 100000 church members in the
United States, according to the Yearbook of
American Churches recently published under
the auspices Of the Federal Council of Church
of Christ in America.
It is interesting to note that DR.. Samuel Nc
Crea Cavert, General-Secretary, says that
more Americans are church members than at
any previous time. He says that the nation to-
day is better than one in two of the population
compared with one in fifteen $50 years ago.
This is an interesting statement, revealing
surprising growth in church membership. 1t is
evidence of what church organizations, while
operating independently from the government
and unsupported by taxation, can accomplish
through their own efforts and the support of
their adherents
The Doctor is convinced that the United
States, on the surface, appears to be relig-
ious country but says that any thoughtful OBJ
server can detect disturbing discrepancy be-
tween the size of churches and their influence
lon American life The correctness of this asser-
tion, of course, depends upon what one expects
the churches of this country to accomplish.
We have rather old-fashioned idea that
the main business of church organizations is
to promote the spiritual development of indi-
viduals These individuals, in turn, have the
opportunity to translate that form our present
material life. It is not the business of the
church, as we see it, to arrange the details Of
material living but rather to inspire and
women to follow spiritual guidance.
It is quite possible for the churches, as organ
:zations to exercise greater influence on Anne
rican life without, at the same time, promoting
the spiritual development of their adherents.
When members of religious organization
lose their personal independence in matters
outside the spiritual field, they fail to make
the spiritual development that is the essence
sof religious life.
Consequently it might be a good idea for
churches generally to concentrate their efforts
upon the development of spiritual power and,
with faith in this power, leave the details of
modern living to individuals impressed with
their spiritual obligations

MYSTERIOUS, BUT POTENT

Advertising is mysterious but none-the-less
potent force in modern business
Whether the advertising be done in col
;umns of The Marion Progress or in some other
medium, there is, it seems an indefinite bene-
fit that flows to the intelligent Of this mod
ern business developer.
There are business men in Marion who be-
1ieve that everybody knows them and what
they have to sell and that, consequently, they
do not need to advertise. It would seem logical
to draw such a conclusion but the fact remains
that people often lose sight of the obvious and
that repetition is the only way to assure per-
manent supremacy in any field.
Every reader can instantly name products
that are known from end of the United
States to the other. little reflection will re-
veal that every one Of them is well-advertis-
ed product and little observation will reveal
that the advertising is being continued by the
wise men that operate the business.

FATIGUE A CAUSE OF
DEPRESSION
DR.. Sophi. Brunson

Most of us who become thorough
| w discouraged are not in good con-
dition physically. No one is himself
when fatigued. His intellectual fac
ulties are not normal.
The people who have been success
ful in life are not as a rule those
with the most brilliant intellects,
but those who do not give up to dis
couragement. They go on and on in
spite of apparent failure. When
they face stone wall, they either
90 around it or blast passage
through it. Victory and success do
not often come to the gutter, but
to the patient worker, who like the
potter turns defeat into victory by
not giving away to encouragement.
Good health is the first prerequi-
site of successful life. If person
is well. he can drive himself hard
up to a certain point, but he should
not allow himself to grow so tired
each day that his body does not be-
come rested during the night. If he
does that, he Injuries himself by ac-
cumulated fatigue. While in this
state the health suffers and the NOR
ale is broken so that he gives way
to the depression and discourage
ment which the condition engend-
ers.
! It is at such times that willpower
is weak and many foolish deeds are
committed and errors made that
would have been deemed impossible
at other times. >.
When one is fatigued and dis
couraged the feelings are most SEN
sitive. Sights are imagined where
none are meant and the quick re-
tort leaps to the lips to be repented
of later.
When you are weary, nature is
bidding you rest. To drive yourself
day by day to your last atom Of
strength is like applying lash to a
weary horse. His new energy is ap-
parent but not real. You know that
he can not do his best work and en-
dure such treatment, neither can
human being abuse his body and not
suffer from ill-health, dependency
and Encouragement.

ARMY-MINDED

Maybe the fact that more North Carolina
boys enlisted in the Army during the fiscal
year just ending than from any other South
eastern State proves that Tar Heels are more
army minded
There is nothing new about this movement
of North Carolina boys to the services in peace
time, however. The same situation existed be-
fore the beginning of World War II. Also the
South as whole has for long time run a.
head of the rest of the country in enlistments.
This fact may attest greater North Carolina
and Southern love Of arms. In the past, how
ever, it was also pretty closely related to a
high Southern birth rate and lower economic
opportunity.
