primary weapon with which we
will defeat the North Koreans.
They envisage a counterofens
relying chiefly on surprise, fol-
lowed up with a concerted land,
sea and tactical air effort.
Once the counterofensive is
undertaken the force which carries
it forward will be team not only
of tanks, but infantry, artillery
and close air support by rocket
throwing planes. The ground
forces are extremely disappointed
in the Air Forces lack of a real
ground support plane. The Air
Force has had to use jets and even
B-29s-the latter extremely vul-
nerable to ground fire-in support
of ground troops.
For the present our chief hope
in armored weapons in Korea
lies in the Patton tank. However,
as new and different tasks arise
for the armored branch of our
ground forces we will have new
and more hard hitting tanks to
meet those needs, even if those
needs result from the outbreak of
World War III.

shock usually occurs within the

might not be possible to get large
quantities of plasma or whole
blood to civilians right away"
Unofficial estimates have been
made that, to cope with an atom
ic blast of the scope of Hiroshima,
it would be necessary to have a
stock of plasma and blood as big
as the Washington Monument.
DR.. Rosenthal said the animal
tests indicated that salt solution,
taken by mouth, may to a large
extent do what plasma will do in
combating "shock."
In fact, he said, the experiments
suggest that one of the reasons
plasma is beneficial is that it con-
tains a salt solution. However. he
said he believes the shocked body's
need for sodium solution is not
completely met by plasma in the
quantities employed in present
treatments.
He emphasized that while salt
solutions alone offered possibili-
ties for emergency treatment,
whole blood and plasma might still
be required because of other con-
stituents the blood contains.

tnent to the question OF food
supplies are the references to
horses, furnishing a yardstick
roughly applicable to today for
comparisons. Russia was found
to be rich in horses-richer than
Central Europe. Indeed up to
1913 Russia had 36 million
horses. of which about "a mil
lion were on farms. That meant
that the muzhik, terrible though
his lot was, was at least not q
draft animal. The population
in 1913 was 140,000,0O0. Today
Russia has about 100000
people, with IA million horses
and only 100000 tractors. A
tractor equals Az horses on a
farm. Hence Russia's farm
power equals roughly 16 million
horses, net loss of 8 million.
And there are go million more
people to be fed. The gap is
filled by putting more people,
especially women and prisoners,
on heavy farm work. (The
United States has IL million
farm horses and 3 million trac-
tors. or Is million horse units.)
Stain an Asiatic
Despite Soviet propaganda
about tractors on farms, Rus
sian agriculture is moving to-
ward the Chinese level of
exploiting manpower rather to-
ward the American level of
using tractor power. In
line with this is the report that
Mao. China's Communist chief,
has promised Stain S million
of his surplus men for farm
work. They would fit naturally
into communism'S expanding
man-pulls-plow paradise. But
neither Stain nor Mao can
make it rain. That being true.
Russia with a mounting popu-
lation and a static farm output,
has no safe food margin, and
could be acutely endangered by
another series of dry years.
The granary OF the Western
world is North America. The
Orient has no real granary,
since it is always short of food
and partly starving. Russia,
already menaced by the desert,
is now the heir to overpopu-
lated and hungry China and
other satellites. Nothing that
Russia-China can do can ma
terially change the food situa-
tlon within their frontiers in
the near future. Yet their pop
ulations will grow. Already in
a cold war land minor hot
one) with America, Russia can
not look to the West for volun-
tary aid.
The Communist regime has
TO date llquldated several mil
lion of its own people and holds
perhaps II million prisoners as
outright slaves of the state. Is
such a regime, menaced by
hunger, likely to be squeamish
about trying to open by force
the granary (and other treas
ure chests of the West, if it
thinks it has even a fair chance
to succeed?
After all, Stain was born be-
yond the Caucasus; that is, he

Salt Water Shock Test
By Fronk Corey

Government scientists say it's
possible that mass casualties OF
military or civilian disaster could
be given emergency life-saving
treatment with drinks of salt
water.
Research suggesting this posi-
bility so far has been largely linn
tied to animals. The scientists
say extensive trials with humans
are needed to evaluate the treat
ment.
Eight years of animal testing
at the National Institutes OF
Health raised hopes the method
would prove practical in emer-
gency treatment of surgical
shock"
That's an often-fatal condition
of prostration and collapse that
may accompany severe wounds
burns, hemorrhage and other in
jurieS.
The animal research even sug-
gested the possibility that people
could give the salt solutions tc
themselves in the absence of med
ical aid.
Need Tryouts on Humans
human trial of the method has
been limited to single project
involving 100 cases of burns. This
preliminary appraisal" was made
by DR.. C. L. Fox of Columbia
University. Government scientists
say it showed promising" re-
suits.
Extensive human trials by a
number of Investigators will be
necessary to get a definite an
swer," DR.. Rolla Dyer, director OF
NH, said in an interview.
". With the Nation thinking
in terms OF civilian defense. it is
a matter of urgency to determine
if this method is of practical
value.
1T is our hope that various in
vestigators will try it clinically
because no single institution has
enough cases of this type to get
a definite appraisal"

E street, near the National The
ater.
Mrs. Flowers remembered the
Greason House and it's proprie-
tors. William Greason. and his
son John, who kept the hotel at
the northwest corner of E and
Thirteenth streets.
On the west side of Thirteenth
street and above the Greason
House she remembered a Mrs.
Kelley who lived next door to her,
and farther up the street Mrs.
Parish, their next-door neighbors
being William Roach and his two
sisters, Mamie and Katie, and
here Mrs. Sneede and her daugh-
ter Austine also made their home
for a number of years.
Stores Replace Homes
These ladies were both regular
writer's for the old Sunday Capt.
tai conducted by Dom Piatt and
George Alfred Townsend. Will
liam Roach was connected with
Lewis Johnson's bank.
To the north of the corner Of
E street lived Mr.. Diggs, and
farther up the block, at No. SIG,
lived John L. Miller, who was Of
the firm of Miller & Jones. At
the northeast corner of Thirteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue.
Mrs. Flowers states. in 1878, IA
and IT'S, was clothing store, and
afterward the Pennsylvania Rail-
road ticket Office. Charlie God
frey's saloon was just above it,
and then the Hotel Johnson.
When Mrs. Flowers lived on
Thirteenth street, there were pri-
vate residences on the east side
between E and F streets, of which
but three now remain, and even
the fronts of these. she related,
have been remodeled and turned
into stores.
Mrs. Flowers said that at that
time Harry Bowers, son of the
celebrated actress, Mrs. D. P. Bow
ers. conducted a grocery on the
northwest corner Of Thirteenth
and F streets. Hothouses stood on
the corner where now stands the
Warner Theater, probably up until
about 1880, when E. and j. Cam
mack quit this corner entirely for
their farm at what is now Georgia
avenue and Rock Greek Church
road. At the corner of Thirteenth

Of that area christendom north
OF the Alps.
This political technique, de-
veloped first in Northern Italy
during the Renaissance, is the
technique which was used in
Christendom north of the Alps
during the period of the Reforma-
tion in the 15-16th centuries to
break the hold of the idea of uni
versatility in the political sphere.
Significantly, it is the same tech
nique which today is being used
by Russia against the West in
the cold (and hot) war.
Machiavelli's Teachings
Because Nicholo Machiavelli
0469-l52D set down an account
Of this technique in THE Prince"
and in other writings, it became
known to history as "Machiavell-
ism" Machiavelli was not mere
ly a student of political philosophy
concerned merely with ideals and
ends. He was a student of po-
litical science, interested primar-
lily in finding ways and means to
achieve desired ends. He made a
broad distinction between political
science and ethics, as well as be-
tween political science and re-
Igion. He was careful to explain
that he was addressing himself
only to those who governed; for
he said, "the politically conscious
groups are the determinant forces
In the social order; the rest, he
wisely observed, only passively
seek security. He was truly pa
triot-perhaps the first patriot in
Western Christendom to preach
the religion of patriotism, some
thing which has played so great a
part in establishing nationalism
For example he wrote:
"Our religion places (the
highest good in lowliness and
contempt for things of the
world; or if it calls upon us to
be brave, 1t is that we should be
brave to suffer, rather than to
do. This manner of life
seems to have made the world
feeble, and to have given it over
as a prey to wicked men to deal
with as they please, since the
mass of mankind, in the hope
of being received into Paradise,
think more of how to bear in
juries than how to avenge
them"
Political Revolution
Rome, the Renaissance, the
Reformation, the American Revo-
luton and the French Revolution
are the principal elements in
f1uencing political thought and ac-
tion in the Western Christian
world today. PROSTATE Rome has
given it the Christian ethic and
the ideal of universalism, while the
ideal af nationalism which was
conceived in the Renaissance and
born of the Reformation was fully
developed during the American
and French Revolutions. There
after, Western society gradually
ceased being religious with man
kind seeking a spiritual end, and
instead became secular with man
kind striving for materialistic OBJ
5ectives, until today life's whole
purpose, it would seem, Is directed
toward achieving social secur-
aty."
