tanks cancel each other out. the
infantry's job will remain.
The Army ran short OF infan-
try reserves during World Wal
II, and 1t was fortunate the Ger
mans didn't have one more year
of fight left in them. AS early as
August 8. 1944-two months te
the day after American forces
invaded Europe there was q
dangerously short supply OF
ground requirements in France.
All during 1914 hasty transfers
were made to provide trained in
fantrymen. Seventy three thou
sand students In the Army's, Spe-
cialized Training Program and
$4,000 aviation cadets were shift
ed to the infantry. Other troops
were taken from over-strength
branches. And all this was neces-
sary despite the fact that losses
in the European campaigns were
lower than expected.
Administrative Difficulty.
BY the end Of 1914. the Army
was scraping the bottom OF the
barrel for men physically suited
for the infantry. Earlier, an ad-
ministrative difficulty resulted in
the assignment Of most Of the
new crop of 1S-year-olds to other
branches while the infantry was
getting men UNFIT or too old for
rugged field service. When the
need for requirements was most
critical, the infantry was dis
charging large numbers Of
trainees for medical reasons.
One of our manpower difficult
ties in World War II was the
early assignment Of many Of the
best physical specimens to the
Air Forces and other superior
arms. When we found we had
undereStimated our need for in
fantry. many men Of top physi-
cal condition had desk jobs in the
Air Forces.
In building a new military ma.
chine, the lesson Of the last war
must not be forgotten. We can
see that the role Of infantry has
not diminished, but perhaps has
become even more important.
The physical and technical de-
mands upon the foot soldier cer-
tainly have become greater than
ever.
Judicious use Of our manpower
is imperative. for we are likely to
face much greater numbers OF
the enemy than before. Our in
fantry will undoubtedly have to
be large, well-trained and backed
up by a perpetual reserve for re-
placements. The only way to as
sure an Army Of full fighting
effectiveness is to give the infan-
try its due priority when the
Nations young men are assigned
their battle stations.

the world.
Maiik Can't Interfere.
AS for Korea, the U. N. has done
all the Immediately necessary
things. branding by an almost
unanimous vote the North Korean
Communist attack as aggression
that endangers the peace OF the
world and backing that UP with
military force as provided by the
charter. Since Russia has been
back, nothing has been done, but
neither has Mr.. Malik been able
to Interfere with the adopted
course Of action.
In the present Security Coun-
Gil situation, we are undergoing
a sort Of test, ourselves. When
President Truman remarked that
it looked like Mr.. Malik was con-
Quoting a "filibuster," he related
the Malik performance to us and
our political institutions. Pill
buster" is even our own American
expression for those dilatory
speeches in Congress to prevent
Legislative action which President
Truman, himself, formerly en-
dured as a member of that body,
as has Warren Austin, our U. N.
representative, for many years also
a Senator. The Senate never has
been able to do anything really
effective to eliminate the fill
buster, a right defended under
our traditions of free speech and
protection of minorities, though
the speech often has gotten too
free, as Messrs. Truman and
Austin can testify.
It is a tribute to our own insti-
tutionS that the U. N. Security
Council operates, for the world at
large, under the same general
rules we have adopted for our
parliamentary bodies, from city
council up to the Senate. So we
probably should just grin and try
to bear the Russian f1libusterer
and disrupter.
Russia Wouldn't Allow II.

Problems A Headache

The Israel Government wants at the same time to
be generous and to be secure. But in this kind of
minority problem there are "ifs" and "buts" You
have either to be generous and take calculated risk
in matters of security accept the Arabs absolute
equals in the Army and civil life, you put security
considerations first, second and last and abandon the
pretense that the Arabs in Israel either equals
welcome fellow citizens in Israel or that they can be
economically integrated.
In the latter case it would be better if the Arabs in
Israel gradually sold their property at the present in
fated prices and with their handsome and converti
BILE proceeds sought security among their brethren
the Arab states.
The world standard by which her treatment of the
Arab minority is measured is admittedly high.CO
pared with the treatment meted out to the MOSlem
Hindu mnOritieS in PakiSan and India during the last
two years. the Arabs lot in Israel has been OrdIy But
then the Jews have always set and asked for higher
standard where minOriteS are concerned. And now
that they at the giving instead of the receiving end
the standard should be maintained. Either policy will
be understood by the world and appreciated by the
Arabs. But not the present confusion of honest and
generous intention coupled with uncertain and half
hearted execution. Which is it to be?

AS you enter the Arab-owned hotel in Nazareth,
you face to face with large portrait of Theodor

homes of Arab notables similarly decorated There

Eastern Orthodox Church, 10000 MOslems; and

But the Greek head of the Orthodox Eastern Church,
the Archmandrite Michael is not recognized by his
Arab congregations. They have chosen a committee
of Arab elders and Jordanian Priest, Gerious
Khouri.
This move has a peculiar significance. For 80 per-

Facts About YOUR National Guard

Older than our nation, the Ma tional Guard has the longest con- tinuous history of any military or ganization in the United States. Its origin goes back to the early 17th century.
 In the United States, the oldest regiment is the 182nd Infantry of Massachusetts, originally organ ized as Middlesex County Mill tia regiment in 1636. Known as the old North Regiment, it responded to the call at Lexington and Con- cord, where the American tradi- ton of -citizen-sol- diers standing ready to serve their country-was born.
 The oldest National Guard or ganization, however, was not formed in the United States. Pre- decessor of the 295th Infantry, the Puerto Rican Guard claims as its ancestor the early Militia, organ ized in 1510 and commanded by Ponce De Leon.
 Another historic regiment, the 176th Infantry of the Virginia Ma tional Guard, is the descendant of the Charles City-Henrice Counties Regiment organized in 1852. A portion of this early regiment merged into the Virginia Regi- ment under the command of a Lieutenant Colonel George Wash ington to resist the French in the

U. s. Geological
 Survey Completes '5O Activities Here

With the departure of MT. and Mrs. D. M. Hopkins, the United States Geological Survey com pletes it's 1850 activities on Sew ard Peninsula. MT. and Mrs. R. S.. Sigafoos, also members of the Geo. logical Survey field party, left Nome on September 4.
 The summers work marked the completion of four-year project conducted by the Alaska Terrain and Permafrost Section of the Geological Survey in this area. The project included detailed studies at Nome and at Imuruk Lake and reconnaissance studies in many other parts of the penin- Sula.
 The principal object of the pro- ject was the study of perennially frozen ground and frost action and their effect upon construction problems. Microclimatic studies demonstrated the effects of small differences in local climate upon the distribution of frozen ground and upon the rate of soil move ments on slopes due to frost ac- ton. Tundra vegetation was stud jed in order to develop criteria for recognizing various soil and per mafront conditions on aerial pho tographs.
 The study has already produced several scientific publications, in- cluding Frost Action and Vegeta- ton Patterns on Seward Peninsu- la, Alaska" D. M. Hopkins and R.. s. Sigafoos U. s. Geol.

Schoeppel Asks
 Further Inquiry
 Into His Charges

WASHINGTON, (P = Senator Schoeppel R.-Kas.) indicated Sat urday he may ask a House com mittee to take up cudgels in his dispute with Secretary of the in terior Chapman.
 The Senate Interior committee held public harings on his charges that Chapman has a ''personal al- liance, with the Russian cause, called them a dud, and declined to pay further attention to them.
 Schoeppel told a reporter the House un-American activities in vestigating committed might be interested" in starting an investi- gation of his charges after Con- gress reconvenes Nov. 27.
 The Senator said he will be back in Kansas, in three or four days and will have more to say about the case tnere.
 He declined, however, to say whether that meant he intends to accept Chapman's dare to repeat the charges without Congressional immunity from libel action.
 Schoeppel made the accusations first in a speech on the Senate floor on Sept. 5. Friday he pub lished in the Congressional Record an assertion that Chapman's de- nials have not disproved his orig inal accusations. He asked for a deeper investigation.
 Senator O'Mahoney O.-Wyo0, the interior committee chairman, told reporters acidly the group plans no further inquiry.
 ''The thing fell flat as a pan- cake and is still flat" O'Mahoney said.

Polio Outbreaks At Fairbanks
 And Anchorage
(By The Associated PreSS)

By The Associated Press)
 A polio outbreak has struck both Fairbanks and Anchorage.
 At Fairbanks, ten cases had been reported Saturday with two deaths. Another case was under observation.
 At Anchorage the sixth case was reported Saturday. Los An geles officials of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis complied with an Anchorage re- quest for two iron lungs, which were to leave for Alaska by air early yesterday.
 Fairbanks schools were closed as a precautionary measure. Only the University of Alaska remain ed open. At Anchorage, the school board decided against closing the schools "at this stage"
 In the Territorial Capitol at Juneau, Dr. James T. Googe of the Alaska Health Department said he did not recommend school clos ings because of suspected polio epidemics. He said children could better be observed in school. But he added that it strictly was up to local officials.
 Fairbanks reported one new case Saturday. The latest to come down was a 12-year-old girl.
 Dr. Robert P. German, Fair banks health officer, said all cases to date were traceable to definite personal contact between healthy children and those infected.
 He declared the disease was in the early stages of epidemic pro- portion.

Find Many Russian Floating Mines

WASHINGTON, Admiral Forrest Sherman said today U. S. navy ships off Korea have found "a great many floating mines" ot Russian type.
 Sherman, the chief of naval op- erations, told the House armed services committee that an exam ination of recovered mines indi- cated they had been recently laid and not long out of the store house."
 On last Wednesday, the U. s. destroyer Brdush hit a floating mine and hole was torn in her bottom. Nine men were killed, 10 injured, and five are missing. The destroyer was able to make her way to Japanere port.
 Sherman said the mines recov- cred were "Mark 26" Russian mines. He described them as a rather standard type and contain ing enough explosives to damage small ships.
 He said they were of the moor ed type, but the indications were they had been floated down rivers or perhaps laid by small craft.
 Sherman said that in addition to the destroyer Brush there has been mine damage to a small ves- sel.
 He did not identify the ship but said there were some fatalities.

Canada May Up Dollar Value

OTTAWA, (P-American tour ists may see the end of cheaper Canadian dollars as the Dominion's cabinet meets to review foreign exchange rates. The session is widely expected to result in boost ing the value of Canada's money in terms of U. S. dollars.
 Ottawa and New York financial circles regarded Friday nights Canadian announcement that for eign-exchange dealing would be temporarily suspended as an al most certain prelude to narrowing or closing-the 9-cent gap be- tween the U. s. and Canadian dol lars.
 At present, the Canadian dollar is officially at 9.1 per cent dis count, in other words, one Cana dian dollar is worth 91 U. S. cents.
 A striking improvement in Can ada's gold and dollars resources has stimulated talk for some time that an upward revaluation of the Dominion currency might be in the winds. A strong hint in that direction was seen in Canada'S re- cent decision to lift or modify inn port restrictions on many products bought from the United States.
 The pause in foreign exchange dealings was announced by fi- nance minister Douglas Abbott. He said the matter was being dis cussed with the. international monetary fund, official guardian
