Despite heavy demands from

MSTS was established October

operation and administration of
ocean transportation for
all agencies or departments of
the National Military Establish

far from satisfied that if they sent
their millions of troops into West

not be contaminated by the liberal

told that those returning Russian

more reasons that add up to the
rather confident hope on my part
that the Kremlin will not march.
DR.. Dirk Striker told me just a
few days ago that there had been a
new resurgence of hope on the
part of the Kremlin. that the good
old Marxist doctrine that any cap
italistic country was bound sooner
or later to deteriorate and to fall
into disrepair was coming into
prominence again. They feel that
the devotion of our resources in
America to defense purposes and
the devotion of resources in Eu-
rope is going to make Europe weak
and vulnerable. They expect Eu-
rope to fall of its own weight and,
they expect us to fall with it.

in danger that our world will col

have we to hope? How do we
know that if we are successful
Russia will change her ways?
The answers 7 offer are pre-
sented with the greatest humility.
I don't know. I don't think a

What are the reasons for this
second disaster, in spite of several
weeks of effort by the captain,
Philip Bell, to get together as
powerful a team as possible? The
first is a lack of esprit de corps on
the part Of Washington chessplay-
ers, for 1t would be easy to name
a dozen District players who
should have been there but were
not, and whose presence would
have made the result a very diff
ferent story. The second is the
fact that Philadelphia has evi-

of experienced college players than
Washington, and they powerfully
bolstered the Mercantile Library's

but it may be the least important
of the reasons why Russia does not

Secondly, I think Russia knows
after Korea that they cannot take
over Western Europe by a coup,
by coup using external aggres-

would be in for very long, tough,
hard war. And they know a tough
war would ruin Russia, along with
running the Western world and

the Russians are aware of that.

Korea Tests u. S. Military Transport Network
Both Air and Sea
Services Turn In
Top Performances
By jones J. Strebig

Korea has given the military
services an examination on les
sens in transportation taught by
World War II.
All branches passed with
straight AS.
Korea set up a difficult test
for both sea and air transport.
It came as a complete surprise.
It involved great distance, and
the volume to be carried was
both large and urgent.
Despite that. both the Mill
tary Sea Transport Service
(MSTS) and the Military Air
Transport Service (MATS) were
able to report that not man
or a piece of equipment was de-
layed for lack of transportation.
The performance has been
particularly satisfactory in view
of the youth Of the services.
MSTS celebrates its first birth
day today. MATS was two
years old last June /.
MSTS was established as a
Navy function with full respon-
sibility for all military sea
transportation between harbors.
It does not take over such jobs
as operations within harbors or
supplying the Navy combat
fleets at sea.
MATS has numerous other
jobs in addition to providing air
transport for all the military
services. 1t operates the Air
Rescue Service. the Air Weather
Service, the Airways and Com
munications Services, all of
which spread over the globe. 1t
has some 10000 officers, airmen
and civilian; about 800 four
engine aircraft and flies 10000
miles of routes.
MATS was formed by uniting
the Air Transport Command of
the Air Force and the Naval Air
Transport Service.
MSTS was formed a year ago
by combining the ocean trans
port fleets of the Army and Navy
transportation organizations. It
has some $4,000 officers, men
and civilians, including 10000
civilians transferred from the
Army.
Before Korea, MSTS had 174
government-owned ships and six
chartered from commercial op-
orators. The fleet included so
personnel transports, 48 tankers,

Fortunately, however, many OF
the records placed there for safe

For many years these houses
were occupied by Commodore

1850. Later they were combined

Eyewitness Account
Two OF Washington's last visits
to the embryo Capital are re-
corded by Christian Hines, an
eyewitness. He tells us:
II believe I only saw Gen.
Washington twice in my life. The
first time was when he came up
in a boat and landed at the low
er bridge, at the foot Of K street
north. and stopped with his
nephew, Thomas Peter. Esq.
saw him the last time, I think.
in the year 1898, when he crossed
the Potomac in a ferry boat near
Aqueduct Bridge. On each side
Of Water street. from the foot Of
High street, Georgetown, to the
bridge, the citizens were ranged
on either side while Gen. WASH
ington walked between them, un-
covered and bowling to the people
as he passed along. I recollect
the Georgetown College boys were
all formed in a line on the north
side Of the street, and nearly OPP
posite to where I stood. They
were dressed in uniforms consist
ing In part of blue coats and red
waistcoats. and presented a fine
appearance. They seemed to at
tract the attention of the gen.
eral very much. After he had
crossed the bridge, and as he ap-
preached the house of his nephew
(Thomas Peter) his escort. the
volunteer companies of George

all dispersed. I had no oppor-
tunity of seeing his face distinctly
on account of the crowd. but I
remember he was a large and tall
