Q. Iron and steel fence posts rust off at
the ground level. Is there anything that
can be brushed on them before putting them
In the ground?-E. r. G.
A. An essential requirement for protec-
tive coatings for underground use is that
they have sufficient thickness. AS paint
Aims are much thinner than the minimum
requirement for protection, it is unlikely
that any paint will give suitable protection
for iron and steel fence posts unless, by re-
peated applications, a coating having a
minimum thickness of 0.05 inch can be
built up. Coatings Of adequate thickness
can most readily be obtained by applying
bituminous coating material in the molten
state. In fact. this is the standard prac-
tice in coating underground pipe lines
@. Should soldier remove his cap when
talking to lady?-C. OBJ.
A. Military etiquette requires that SOL
dier under arms should keep his cap on when
talking to woman either indoors or out
doors. If he is not armed, he should remove
his cap.
G. Why is French bread served with the
slices held together by the bottom crust?-
w. e. r.
A. Not to cut all the way through keeps
the slices close together and helps to main.
tains the freshness and taste Of the bread.
O. What is included in good will" when a
business is sold?-C. l. N.
A. It Is defined as the evaluation placed
upon the reputation, patronage, drawing
power, and other intangible advantages pos
sessed by business concern in operation
including name and good disposition of its
customers.

each.
5. Two Marine aircraft wings of IL tao
tical squadrons each.
6. Necessary supporting elements for 4
and above. .t

Navy Seen in Shoal Waters.
Editor al

Navy Seen in ShOal Waters.
To the Editor Of The Star:
In reading of the Navys attack on rulings
OF the Defense Department it should not
be forgotten that the Navy in World War
II allocated to itself practically every func-
tion known to modern warfare. In addition
to its historic activities on the sea and under
it, and its naval aviation, Marine army
was created which duplicated all the arms
and services Of the Ground and Air Forces.
The Marines possessed:
/. Infantry divisions
2. Land artillery regiments.
3. Tank groups.
4. Military engineers Gin addition to Navy
Seabees).
S. Land-based aviation Gin addition to
Marine plane carriers.
6. Auxiliary land arms and services.
Possibly this war experience has convinced
Navy that real "unification" can best be
accomplished if Navy takes over the other
services in toto Indeed there are cogent
arguments favoring such an arrangement,
but to accomplish it the ensigns and the
admirals must first learn how to make
friends and influence people in big way.
Right now. although in shoal waters, they
appear to have abandoned use of the lead,
the log and the lookout"

Letters to The Star
Battle of the Pentagon Becomes FreeforA as Reader
Pitch In With Barrage of Varied Comments
Praise for Vinson Committee.

Praise for Vinson Committee.
To the Editor Of The Star:
I wish to congratulate Mr.. Vinson on the
manner in which he is conducting the
Armed Services investigation.
His committee has sat with patience and
understanding and listened to men and boys
who have SO long wished to have their views
heard-men and boys who are sincere in
their beliefs, which have come from long
years Of study and experience.
1t is almost pathetic as We sit and watch
the relief on their faces at being able to
tell the committee and the people of the
United States what they believe to be true,
beliefs which have evidently been bottled
up within them so long.
I cannot believe that there is not some
meaning in what they say and certainly
there is sincerity Of thought and purpose
I hope and I am sure the people of this
country hope that through this hearing will
come better understanding plus better de-
fensive and offensive power for our country.

Army Man Pens Ode to Navy.
70 the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The STAR,
AS pro-Navy Army man, have written
the following Jingle to let some steam OF
and show where my sympathies are in the
unif1cation battle:
To the gentlemanly cadence Of Navy,
With measured and moderate tone,
From .Crommelin, Radford and Denfeld,
The service comes into its own.
The answers are specious and stumbling
From Symington, Bradley and Vandy,
For you can't defeat logic and reason
BY sneering of Fancy and Dandy.
So here's to the Navy, the winner,

Sees Air Force Taking Pentagon.

Sees Air Force Taking Pentagon
To the Editor OF The Star:
I am afraid that the Nays passion for
anonymity remember the vague reports re-
leased by the Navy during the war regarding
It's submarine and carrier task force ex-
ploits) as compared with the Air Forces,
who really knew the true value of glamoriz-
ing their exploits, has boomeranged
Dwight D. Eisenhower would still be in
England looking for 'D-Day" if he had
only the Air Force to depend on for the ma
terials and personnel he required to launch
his invasion. Down deep in his heart, he
knows that the Air Force isn't all it claims
to be; in fact one of his commanders in
France practically begged him not to allow
the Air Force to operate with his troops be-
cause OF the repeated casualties inflicted on
his men by trigger-happy pilots American
1nfantrymen know it was the unglamorous
foot soldier who won the last terrible war
and 1t burns up the average Army man as
we'll as Navy man to hear the braggarts of
the Air Force tell of how they won the war.
Here's hoping that when the smoke clears
away from the committee hearings) justice
is made to prevail. The West Pointers in
the Pentagon will do good job of proving
why we don't need a Navy, but plain un-
biased common sense will prove the Nays
case. Heaven help us If the Air Force takes
the National Defense Department over,
which they are well on the way to doing

Navy "Admirer"-Tongue-in in Cheek Variety
To the Editor Of The Star:
No wonder the admirals are bitter about
not getting all the vital defense missions
and the lions share of appropriations Any
fool knows that the Navy. with it's own
private ground troops and air arm, can do
everything the Army and Air Force can do
only faster and better. If Congress would
just stop wasting money on the land-locked
Army and the vastly -overrated Air Force
and give it all to the Navy, we could forget
all about national security. The mere
threat OF fleet of Missouri class battle
wagons cruising across the Ukraine on a
heavy dew, enroute to fire 16-inch shells
at the Kremlin, would make a working
paciflst If not Christian out of Joe Stain.
Probably Congress wouldn't do anything
so intelligent though. Some member of that
august body who is secretly an agent of the
Anti-Navy League would unlimber his silver
tongue and proceed to arouse sentiment for
the retention of the unseaworthy services.
and you know how congressman go for
sentiment and tradition.
How fortunate 1t is for the taxpayers
that the proponents Of the bow and arrow
didn't have the advantage of modern pub
nc-relations techniques few centuries ago.
Undoubtedly they considered the introduc-
tion OF gunpoWder as most immoral, but at
least we have been spared having to listen
all these years to what hurts the bow-and-
arrow corps hurts the nation"

whom he is associated The dreamer is not
necessarily the coward-nor is the bombastic
man always distinguished for his bravery.
History, on the whole, seems to speak for
itself. The occasional Captains Blye of
wartime or peacetime are to be regretted
but certainly it is unnecessary to attempt
to explain them away. Not infrequently,
we read OF parents with sadistic tendencies
toward their children, which of course does
not place all parents in the same category
What seems at present to be the brightest
hope on the horizon for both the military
and civilians is that Congress irrespective
of precious time and weary bodies, has
chosen to listen. In unravelling the ball of
yarns. it has found the key which was buried
in the center.

The Dade County Board of Public
instruction in cooperation with tne
Dade County Vocational Guidance
Council, has selected two young men
with vocational and business expert
ence, to serve as coordinators in the
Diversified Cooperative Training
Program known as D. G. T.
Two programs are being started
- one by Mr.. Daniel r. Francis at
Dorsey High School and the other
by Mr. Eddie B. Bunyan, Jr., at
Booker I. washington high school.
The outlook as to the immediate
and future worth of OCT is inestl'
mable. This is true because the pro-
gram will prove mutually beneficial
to employer and the student trainee.
The employer has the satisfaction
of having trained employee come
into his business upon the students
graduation. On the other hand, the
graduate steps into an immediate
full-time job in the field in which
he has been Systematically trained.
Briefly the public may get a
working knowledge as to the extent
