Grams of Pacific landings and
the North African operations,
but, the experts tell me, there
are many things to be learned
for great progress has been
made in amphibious training
since the war.
This is the first operation of its
kind since the merger of the arm
ed services has been in effect, and
nothing approaching it in size has
ever been attempted in peacetime.
OF course the marine corps was
virtually born amphibious and for
the past % years has perfected the
methods which were used in the
late war. Now they serve as the
instructors in this particular field
OF activity for the other branches
of the service.
Maneuvers which get compare
lively little notice in the press are
largely regarded by laymen as a
spectacle or as a series of highly
technical military problems which
are too complicated to follow. As
a matter of fact, the actual man.
euvers are a small part of the opera
ton compared to the planning
which dates back to the days when
Caesar took his famous tenth le-
gion from small boats onto the soil
of ancient Britain, or before.
Perhaps the earliest important
invasion from the sea in modern
times was one of the most unsuc-
cessful 80 the Inflated Gallipoi bat
tie when the British troops were al
most annihilated in their first at
tempt to invade Turkey in World
War I.
Intensive study Of this de-
bacle was made in this coun-
try, and the marines had made
great strides long before
World War II made such train
ing necessary. Very few peo-
pie realized this. In fact, many
people probably think that the
Japs had special patent on
amphibiOus tactics.
As one officer expressed it to me,
there is nothing secret about this
method of fighting. It is simply
question of "know-how." A vast
conglomeration of minute detail
which is not used at all in ordinary
land fighting. For example, an
infantryman takes for granted that
he and his rifle are more or less
one piece. But the first time he
has to go over the side of a ship
and into small craft, he suddenly
finds he is faced with a major prob
lem in assuring not only his own
arrival on the beach but, what is
equally important, the simultan-
eous arrival of his gun. If you
have ever tried to crawl down a
net with no equipment whatever,
you realize it requires all the hands
you have.
But long before D-day, thousands
Of details have been worked out
hundreds of miles from the scene
of action. AS one officer put it,
the stack of charts that have to be
drawn are a mile high. Beans,
bullets, shoelaces-an are part of
the picture quite as much as radar
and range-finders.
The little island Of Vieques will
beS pounded with tons of shells,
hauled, mauled, captured, and de-
serted, and then 60 back to sub
tropical siesta. But what happens
there on and before March 2 and
3, 1949, may be of vital importance

Press Conferences
Have Changed, Too

At a recent White House news
conference, an old timer came I'D
to me and remarked that the last
few times he had attended these
gatherings, all of which had been
especially well attended (wen over
100 reporters) he couldn't help
thinking back to the days Of Taft
when, as he put it, Robert Small
of the Associated Press and perhaps
one or two others who used to be
sneaked into the back door of the
White House for confidential talks
with the President, but no other
newsmen or women had any access
whatever to the Chief Executive.
was not in Washington then but
later I came to know Small very
well and I know he was known as
"the fair haired boy" of the Taft
administration. 1t was the first
time I had ever heard the express
sion. Small was brilliant news
man and Taft was very fond of
him. well recall the ex-President
(Taft was then chief justice) COM
forting Small's father at Bob's fun
eral. The former White House re-
porter was comparatively young
when he died.
I do not know how the press
corps felt about SmalPs init
mate relationship with the White
House-Or the other fortunate
ones who were given these ex-
elusive privileges but 1 doubt
II it occurred to anyone to sug-
gest the possibility of having
regular open press confer
ences. Teddy Roosevelt, how
ever, did call in press associ-
alton men on occasion.
And yet such a situation (no reg
.ular conference) seems incredible
today. No President would dare
refuse to see newsfolk and stand
up to questions which sometimes
are more impairment than peril
nent.

Cooking Game

The secret of cooking, any wild
meat is to conserve moisture. Wild
meat is naturally drier and tougher
than domestic meat. The general
rule is to cook game fora longer
time at a lower temperature than
other meats. While 'homemakers do
not cook domestic meat in covered
pans, this method is often better
for wild meat. The covered rooster
is best for long, slow, moist cook

didn't want and never expected tc
have with the shadow of tragedy
over him. A man who was at first
so anxious to reassure the country
that there would be no break in
the continuity of leadership that he
sometimes rushed in where a more
experienced man might have feared
to tread.
There were many "off-the-
cuff" remarks with some dis
astrous results. Then came a
period when he leaned over
backward with caution; after
that, the period when his own
party seemed to be falling
apart and it was no secret that
the man in the White House
was disappointed and unhappy.
Then came gradual change
which even many of his intimates
did not realize, a change that grad
ualy eliminated in the combative
confidence which most of his SUD.
porters failed to share. Washing.
ton watched his election campaign
with considerable admiration for
his fighting spirit but without being
convinced that even he, himself &C.
tually had the confidence he dis.
played.
Then came the election upset and
two months later, the tremendous
turnout at the Inauguration. There
was evidence for those who could
recognize it, in the manner of de-
livery Of his Inauguration speech,
that here was still another Truman.
At that first press and radio con-
ference, it was plain enough. At
last he was his own man. He felt
he had earned his office. He prob
ably had felt all along that he was
fully competent to carry on its re-
sponsibilities. But now something
had been added: a controlled self
assurance.
I think Mr.. Truman was sin
cere when he told a luncheon
meeting Of the Democratic
party's finance committee that
there were a million men in the
United States who would make
a better President, but it was
his job and he would carry it
out. He was simply saying
that he realized there were
men in the country with great
er ability than he had. He
didn't say, nor did he think,
that he didn't have enough abil-
ity. If events prove that he
hasn't, he probably will be the
first to admit it.
That is my own Interpretation
and is offered for what it is worth.
1t is an expression based not only
on what Harry Truman has said
and done, but largely on the way
he has said and done it. If he
continues to handle himself in the
way he has since the election, the
men in government and out, in his
own party and out of it, will find
him lot easier to deal with. Like
wise, he is going to be proportion
ately more successful with those
with whom he has to deal.

With the January appropriation
of $50, 900 for relief used up, ac-
cording to George Pambrun,
supervisor of t h e project, the
need of further funds developed
a pressing problem.
In the relief project, Reserva-

was in Helena to seek further
financial aid in the relief project.
He reported his efforts unsuccess-

During the last session of Con-
gress, the subcommittee on In
dian Affairs spent a great deal of
time studying the problems of
American Indians and endeavor-
ing to find method of fastening
their development, economically,
educationally a n d physically, to
the end that federal responsible
ity might be discharged and the
Indians assume t h e ir rightful
place in society. There are many
possibilities for sharing with the
States the responsibilities for In
dian welfare, t h e r e are many
individual Indians W h o do not

from the Federal government,
and there are tribes which have
the capacity to manage h e i r
own affairs at least as we'll as
they are being managed by the
Indian bureau. Unfortunately,
little progress has been made to-
ward realizing these ends. The
responsibility of the federal gov
eminent continues undiminished
and it is necessary to appropriate
for the operation of Indian health,
welfare, schools and other items.
To have the Indian and white
children attend the same public
schools is in my opinion one of the
fundamental methods of improv-
ing the status of Indians in our
soci y. Unfortunately the
amounts available in the p a s I
have not b e e n sufficient to pay
the federal governments proper
share of tuition where l n d a r
