 Of this total of BOP applications which have been accepted or are in process, 136 are students who were enrolled at the university during the year 1948-49. More are expected before the fall term be- gins, Mercer said.
 So far only 43 of the prospective new students give Alaskan home addresses. The others are from the States.
 This proportion is highly un- favorable from the viewpoint of Alaskans," Mercer said. ''It is hoped that more students in the Territory will investigate the fla cilities offered by the university in planning their college educa- tions."
 One of the difficulties for new students, which has been instru- mental in curtailing enrolment at the university, is the housing shortage, Mercer said. He urged residents to help in any way pos sible in providing housing for both married couple and single students.

1.-Two Women Indicted
In Attempt 10 Sway
BRIDGES Trial Witness
By the Assoeiofsd Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3d.
The Government has indicted two
women on charges of trying to
get prospective prosecution wit
ness in the Harry Bridges per-
jury trial to alter his testimony
The same Federal grand jury
which indicted Bridges. West
Coast CIO longshore leader, and
two aides returned the secret in
dictment yesterday against:
Mrs. Jean Murray, 33. who de-
scribed herself variously as an
"internationalist,' a divorce, an
''itinerant philosopher" and a
member of the working class.

of a former San Francisco SUPER
visor and State assemblyman, who
was named by the State Senate
Committee. on n-American Ac-
tivities as active in left-wing
movements.
The indictment carries two
counts. It accuses the women
with conspiring and attempting
to intimidate Mervyn Rathborne,
one-time secretary-treasurer of
the California State CIO and for
mer close associate of Bridges.
Both women denied the charges.
They were arrested and booked
separately.

Planes to Drop Whole Divisions
In Next War, Gen. Arnold Says

the shadow of a doubt that we had
to rely on the airlines, not only
for operating personnel. but also
for equipment. 1t is quite obvious
that the Air Force cannot justify
holding 1000 airplanes at, say
$750,OO0 or $1.000,000 apiece, in
reserve, just waiting for a war. 1t
is also obvious that the United
States cannot expect the airlines
to operate any such number OF
planes just to be used in case OF
war. It would bankrupt the air.
lines! Their regular business could
not possibly keep that number
operating.
Biggest Planes Garry 200.
A modern air transport plane
carries anywhere from go. in small
ler ones, up to 200 in the larger
ones. So it is obvious that about
1000 airplanes would be necessary
to carry personnel and equipment
for units having a strength OF
about $4,000. Naturally, if the
larger planes were used, it wouldn't
require so many, but the average
would be about 1000 planes. We
can use $4,000 man units as yard
sticks for equipment for any num-
Der, but 100000 would seem to be
the smallest unit we must figure
on against a large hostile force
with an aggressive leader. One
hundred thousand men dropped
behind the lines of any enemy
would cause him great concern
and would require him to readjust
completely his plans of operations
and probably could prove disas-
trous.
The vertical development has
come upon the soldier in the same
way as the development Of f1anks
came to warfare centuries ago. 1t is
a development made possible by
new equipment. We must take ad-
vantage of this modern technique;
we must find a way to provide the
equipment required. If we do not

used to be known as a combat

Must Have Airborne Troops.
Now we have another must"
thrust into our hands. We must
have airborne troops; we must
have the equipment for carrying
airborne troops; we must have the
necessary transports. The Air
Force can't afford to develop and
buy them or hold them in stock
awaiting a war. The airlines
can't afford to develop and oper-
ate that large number.
Quite obviously then, there
must be a close tie-in between the
Air Force and the airline COM
panies. This must exist in peace
and in war. The airlines must
become acquainted with the Air
Force equipment and the Air
Force personnel must become
acquainted with the airline equip
ment. Perhaps it will be necessary
for the Air Force to pay for the
development costs of these new
transport planes. Perhaps some
sort of subsidizing must be done
to permit the airlines to operate
these planes in time of peace.
There will always be necessity
for small number of transport
planes with the Air Forces. but
never enough to take care of the
air lift required for troop carrier
and airborne operations.
History saw that ships operated
by steamship companies become
reserve units for our fleet. This
happened in one war after an
other. In my opinion, the time is

units and gave an accurate indi-
cation of what might be expected
in the future.
During the period between
World Wars I and II, the question
of air lift for personnel and sup
plies was one that received spe-
cial consideration from the air
forces of practically all the major
powers. Russia was the first, for
instance, to employ mass para
chute jumps, although individual
parachute jumps and exercises in
which small numbers of troops
were dropped in parachutes had
been tried out in the United States
before the Russian mass jumps.
Gliders, troop carrier planes and
hospital planes made their ap-
perances in the air forces of Ger
many, Britain, the United States
and Russia.
There was no doubt that in a
future war the ground soldier
must take advantage of the speed
and flexibllity of the airplane for
his operations. Here was a means
of transportation available to the
ground forces which would enable
them to cover distances at speeds
in excess of $50 miles per hour,
when truck and railroad trans
portati ton limited their movements
to speeds of about 90 miles per
hour, and by foot they could
average but 212 miles per hour.
In World War II the Germans
employed large masses of para
chute troops most successfully at
Crete: Macarthur used airborne
troops in the Markham Valley in
New Guinea, and Eisenhower
dropped them in Normandy and
Holland. They were used with
greatest success, but not in very
large numbers, in Burma by Brig.
Wingate. All these aerial troop
carrying operations were success
full; some of them, like Crete and
Markham Valley, highly successful,
accomplishing objectives in a time
which could have been obtained
in no other way. The losses were
not excessive. even though in
some cases the enemy had set
posts. strung heavy wire and done
all kinds of things to destroy the
gliders on landing and to harass
the parachute jumpers.
Many Transports Needed.
Airborne operations in future
wars are "must!" They will en-

Joint enemy communications and
supply systems and upset plans
for operations. There is a fly in
the ointment, however, and that
is the equipment to be used for
such operations. Where will it
con>o from? Who can use so many
transport planes in time Of peace?
In the large operations during
World War II, as many as 1900
airplanes and 500 gliders were
used at one time. Today's mill
tary cargo and air transport
planes are a brand new develop
ment solely for the purpose Of air
lift and for ground forces equip
ment. They might be used in
peacetime for freight service by
the various American airlineS, but
not in such large numbers. In a
similar way. the large transport
planes which the airlines are using
are suitable, with slight modiflca-
tions, for carrying personnel for
the military services, and can be
modified for parachute troops.
But where will we ever get the
tremendous numbers required for
war operations: 1000 in round
numbers?
