but public clamor to bring the
boys home" that forced aban-
donment, as soon as the shooting
stopped after World War II, of
tanks, guns, airplanes and other
ornaments left to rust at bases
all over the world.
AS early as October, 1945, Gen.
Marshall, wartime Chief of Staff,
spoke of the widespread emotional
crisis of the American people as
having brought about a condition
in which Rehabilitation has be-
come disintegration, not only of
the armed forces, but apparently
of all concept of world RESPONSE
bility, and what 1t demands of
U.S."
And two years ago, Gen. Omar
N. Bradley, now chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, said many
of our difficulties then could be
traced to a decision by the Ameri-
can people not to diSmantle, but
to wreck, the machine which had
made the United States the most
powerful force for peace in the
world.
Our postwar military budgets
SLAB billion in 1947; $10.9 billion
in 1913; $11.9 billion in 1949 and
the $3.50 billion of 1950-repre-
sented calculated risks, a phrase
so often employed as cliche that
it's meaning has tended to be-
come obscured. A calculated risk
is just what each word of the
phrase means-a calculation, an
estimate, of the probabilities. and
an acceptance of a risk, of the
chance that the law of probability
will not work out in a particular
instance.
Acceptance of the thesis that
public opinion would not have
supported larger military appro-
priations in the postwar years
does not remove from the area of
discussion consideration of how
wisely such appropriations as
were made were employed.
The major development of
postwar years in our military Or
ganization was the unif1cation of
the three services. In it's earlier
years, the unification law tended

our economy could stand the bur-
den of the military load already
Gin January, 1949) imposed on it
and they said:
"One of the principal factors
contributing to the economic
strength of the Nation-to which
we are indebted for victory in two
wars-has been this countrys
freedom from huge peacetime
armament burdens.
There is a growing belief
among responsible officials of
Government that the Communist
strategy in the struggle Tor the
world is to force the United States
into greater and greater expendi-

Whether this assessment of the
conditions we faced a year aud

and a persuasive argument can
be made for it's validity, even after
Korea-it certainly reflected the
mood of the times, the temper CT
the American people, that )n-

rainy day" became a continu-
Gus process.
The process varied from mi
nor inspection and cleaning to
complete breakdown and reas-
sembly after replacement of
doubtful elements like fuses,
primers, cartridge cases. wad-
ding and explosive filters.
The Navy reconditioned near
ly $4,000 tons of ammunition
annually since the end of the
war at a cost of approximately
3 percent of the replacement
value.
In addition, large quantities
being completed for the expect
ed invasion of Japan was held
in readiness in this country.
Meanwhile, obsolescent types
were being replaced as rapidly
as possible, especially that re-
lated to antisubmarine warfare
and air defense.
In particular, the Navy has
sought to improve it's stock of
. tcrpedoes, whose reliability In
the early and middle stages of
the last war evoked much criti-
cism. Corrections were made in
the latter part of the war.
Since that time. completely
new types of torpedoes have
been developed to combat the
threat of high-speed submarines
which can dive deeper, resist
heavier shocks and remain sub
merged longer than World War
II advanced types.
Much Reconditioning
At the same time, leftover
stocks on hand underwent con-
slant quality control in storage.
Some war-heads were reloaded
with a more stable and effective
explosive, and propulsion and
control units were checked for
efficiency.
The Soviets are known to
have a great underwater feet
developed with the aid of NaZi
technicianS from late German
types far in advance of any
thing then in operation.
Much of the reconditioning
work was done at the Indian
Head, Md, Powder Factory. and
at the St. Juliens, Crane, Meal
ester, Hawthorne. Hastings, and
Mare Island Ammunition De-
pots.
Metal cases were chemically
cleaned and reformed. powder
tanks were sand blasted and re-
painted, smokeless powder
which had deteriorated was
ground under water to recover
the essential elements, and vari-
Gus explosives were screened of
impurities and revoked.
This went on while many peo-
Pile, including some members of
Congress, were convinced that
World War II was the war to
end all wars.
At one time there was heavy
pressure from home to empty
every ammunition ship in the
Pacific which conceivably could
be pressed into service to get
the boys home at the earliest
possible hour.
This was done in some cases,
yet thousands of tons of ammu-
milton which made the long
round trip into the Pacific were
saved in time to go back again.

Shells of the latter class,

been improved by the Navy
since the war. New types have

said.
Napalm or jellied gasoline
bombs also are proving effective
in Korea. They have been used
increasingly in recent weeks by
night fighters hunting troop
concentrations under cover of
darkness.
A tank of flaming jelly can
stir up as we'll as light up
troop concentration target for
straf1ng guns. Napalm also is
used to burn away the kind of
cover which Red tanks seek
from air attack. Instances were
reported recently of tanks plow-
ing through the walls of native
dwellings to hide under the
roofs until the danger passes.
The bulk of the ammunition
now being loaded is from coastal
depots, although vast quantities
are stored inland.
The Navy set up a quality
control surveillance program as
far back as 1915 to keep it's

The deterioration rate, it was
learned, is not always consistent
even in similar classifications.
In general, high explosives in

powder and containers had de-

termiteS were making off with
the powder. The metal of air

Thousands of tons of ammu-
milton were dumped in the
ocean as unsafe. and the re-
mainder shipped back to the
United States for inspection, re-
work and storage under shelter.
Laboratory methods, includ-
ing X-ray and other tests, were
worked out for the evaluation of
ammunition without the neces-
sity of firing trials. Despite lack

taking the long road back in the
remnants of an ammunition
train which once bridged the

Those who saw the forests of
masts of supply ships staging
for the final assault on Japan
can only wish that more of the
stuff that makes fire power had
been kept at the ready on Stra-
tegic bases like OkinaWa or the
Marianas.
Perhaps it was no accident
that trouble broke out in Korea
after most of the ammunition
stores on Pacific outposts had
either been dumped in !. the
ocean, shipped home for rework
and storage or abandoned to
jungle rot, typhoons, termiteS
and the like.
Yet the Navy, despite politi-
cal pressure and postwar econ
omy cuts, managed to save and
keep in serviceable condition
some SIS billion worth of the
latest bombs, torpedoeS, rockets,
projectiles and cartridges pro-
duced during the last war.
The Army figures it came
through with about ST billion
worth of ammunition-roughly,
some 7 million tons in storage

derful vitamin savers.
Fruits and vegetables lose many
vitamins from fields to you. It is
very important to buy the freshest
possible.
Vacuum-canned and quick-froz-
en- foods are often far richer in
food values than the so-called
fresh" foods. The reason for this
is because they are processed soon
after they leave the fields and
not kept several days in transit
as fresh foods.
Baked potatoes supply a large
amount of Vitamin C. Air is the
arch enemy of vitamin c. The air
is shut out when baked.
Peas in any form are rich as a
valuable source of vitamin B-1 and
C. Soda should never be added
to peas, as the alkaline substance
destroys vitamin B-1.
The outer leaves of lettuce are
much richer in vitamin A than the
hearts of the lettuce.
Fruits and vegetables should
not be exposed to air longer than
necessary after preparing them
for cooking or table use. Never
soak any vegetables. Avoid cook
ing too long. Cook in small amount
of water, Except strong vege-
tables or dried foods) Cook veg
