Rockets VS.. Tanks

Sovet-made T-34s-the tanks used by the
North Korean aggressors- apparently have ceased
being the formidable threat they were as recently
as a month ago. Apart from the fact that our
own tank strength has increased appreciably and
that heavier baZooka equipment has been put
into the hands of our ground forces the main
reason for this significant change seems to be
the development of new attack technique by
our rocket-carrying fighter -bombers-piston-en
gined F-51s and iet-propeied F-80s.
At any rate, according to high authorities
in our Air Force, these planes have more than
doubled the effectiveness of their forays since
the beginning of the month. Thus, for the period
from September to IL, they have been officially
credited with Confirmed" toll of no fewer than
II enemy tanks definitely destroyed and 73 others
seriously damaged figures described as repre-
Sentng cat least twice" the best rate of destruc-
tiveneSs heretofore achieved with given number
of plane-borne rockets against the Russian
manufactured armor of the North Korean Reds.
Newly developed by the Navy, the type of
weapon involved has shaped-charge warhead
so powerful, according to the Air Force, that
one is enough-given "an ideal hit"-to destroy
any known tank in the world. But IAN ideal
hit" cannot be had for the asking, and earlier
in the Korean war our fighter -bombers were not
able to do nearly so we'll as they have been doing
IGC6Hby, JIl6 T6doUI 1OI Gl1lS UclIlB NldI GIlcy
could release only single missile at time
-or at most two-against a target. Now, however,
the story is different With each of our attacking
F-51s and F-80s carrying eight of these deadly
projectiles, 'tblunderbuss" technique has been
worked out to permit the dropping of the whole
load against enemy armor, with the result that
the toll is much greater and well worth the extra
expenditure of rockets.
In effect, what the new technique means is
that our fighter-bombers do not have to make
Ideal hits" to wreak havoc on the enemy's tanks
Although it will not knock out everything the
"blunderbuss" release of eight rockets at a time
once an F-51 or F-80 has the target within its
sights-apparently comes close to insuring that
the T-34 on the ground will have to be blessed
with something like miracle to escape destruc-
tion or serious damage. The record of the past
two weeks seems to have convinced our Air Force
on that score
All of which once again raises questions about
the tanks future. Actual and potential develop
ments in the field of shaped charges and squash
head" ammunition-hred from bazookas, regular
artillery or rocket-loaded planes-have made
some military experts doubt that heavy armored
forces will ever loom as large in the world of
tomorrow as they have up to now. The possible
development of atomic shells and other new
weapons lends further strength to that doubt.
The speculation is one that must occupy the
attention of all governments looking for the most
efficient way to spend money on arms.

Needed in Indio-A Civic Conscience
BY RawIe Knox

NEW DELHI.-Seriously disrupting
L the enormous task of administering
the new India is widespread ignorance
of the need for civic responsibility. Re-
Gently, after check-up, Delhi discovered
that it's population was 40O. 900 less than
had been estimated. Previously popu-
lation figures had been based on
ration card issues, and the authorities
suddenly noticed that these were in
creasing by 100000 every six months.
A strict investigation showed that 400,-
900 "ghost" and bogus ration cards had
come into circulation in the city in the
course of single year. Their cancella-
ton saved the rationing authorities co.

were detected travelling on Indias rail-

wholesale merchants have rocketed the
price of spices by so per cent since the
start of the Korean war. The sad tale
continues variously and indefinitely
Indian nationalists, who have spent
lifetime resisting the British and are
now trying to rule their own country
equitably and efficiently, put much of
the blame for this amorality on the his
tory of non-co-o operation. For decades
it has been patriotic not to pay income
tax to foreign government. not to pay
fares on foreign-owned railways and not
to obey import and export regulations
dictated by foreign interests. The habit
is hard to shake off, especially since to
shake it off costs money. In addition
the low wage paid to Indians in govern
ment service under the British made it
desperately hard for them to resist
bribes. and thus another habit has been
formed

The dispatches this morning speak of the
"Army's Tenth Corps"-plus the Marines and
the South Koreans who have landed. And with
our prayers for their success in bottling up and

good reason to marvel at the feat of arms that
this landing represents. When the details of
what we have done become available, many

This and That

This is no ordinary insect, remember.
and that is another reason for welcoming
him.
He is not grasshopper to be stepped
upon because he may threaten our food
supplies.
He wants nothing in our kitchen. even
though he may fly in, now and then.
What he desires is what we do not
desire--the inimical bug" as we
thoughtlessly call all insects.
That is his type of food, and on it
he lives capably. to keep yards and
bushes and trees free from too much
blight.
Without him, and a host of other
insects feeding on insects, the world
would be overrun overnight.
Overnight?
Well, in year, maybe.
The billions upon billions of insect
forms find mans waste much to their
liking.
On his waste. in grains, ETC., they
manage to live and increase.
Every pantry with breakfast foods in
it provides sustenance for insect life, as
the careful housewife knows. Let a
box of breakfast food go unopened sew

it is found full of "weevils."

However-and here is the important
but little publicized fact-the RCA color
cannot be transmitted on present day
coaxial cable networks, while the CHS
system can be transmitted. RCA points
out that the cable can be modified"
for transmission of their color. That
is true enough. But so can present-day
receivers be modified" to receive CHS
color.
In all fairness, 1t must be noted that
microwaye relay systems can transmit
RCA color, but at present such relays are
a minor portion of the TV networks. Also
it should be pointed out that the CO.
axial cable will transmit the RCA color
in black and white; that is to say, an
RCA program that starts out as color
would be reduced to black and white
whenever it passes through section
of coaxial cable.
Much is made over the fact that the
CHS system uses a mechanical color
scanning disk. AS the CHS engineers
point out, the disk can be replaced by
a color tube as soon as one is de-
veloped that will perform satisfactorily.
In fact, CHS adapted one of their sets
to use the RCA three-color tube with
Indifferent results, the point being that
better color tube is required before
scrapping the mechanical disk.
The clincher, in my opinion, is that
the CHS color picture has good fidelity,
while the RCA system does not.

Since much distorted information is
being given to the public concerning
the color television situation, some addi-
tional facts should be noted.
First, in nearly all articles describing
the faults and virtues of the two prin-
cipal color systems, CHS and RCA, much
is made of the fact that the RCA system
is compatible" while the CHS is not.
For an example see page AS of the
Sunday Star. September 10. "Compat-
ible," in this case. means that color
telecasts could be received as black and
white on present TV receivers with no
modification while to receive the CHS
color as black and white REQUIRES some
receiver changes.

A Matter of Good Faith

For the time being at least-thanks to
Soviet Russia's veto in the Security Council
there will be nothing done in the United Nations
about the complaint of the Chinese Communists
accusing us of having bombed their territory in
Manchuria.
Just couple of weeks ago, when the COM
plant was first made, Warren Austin, our chief
U. N delegate promptly admitted the possibility
that one of our planes may have mistakenly
strafed a Chinese base near the Korean border.
Accordingly, depriving the Communists of an
excuse for new propaganda attack on us,
he proposed that the United Nations create a
special commtSSion-made up of Indian and
Swedish representatives-to go to Manchuria
and conduct an impartial on-the-scene investi-
cation of the alleged incident. In addition he
affirmed that the United States if found at
fault, would discipline the personnel involved
and pay whatever indemnity, If any, might be
deemed to be justified the basis of the inquiry.
But in response to this act Of American
good faith-an act emphasizing the non provo
cative nature of our policy toward Red China
the Mao Tse-tung government at Peiping
declared that 1t would not even consider coop
Grating in the project unless Maos representa-
tves were given hearing by the Security
Council prior to any actiGn on the proposal for
an Indian-Swedish commission Of inquiry.
majority of the Councils members-India,
Norway France and Britain, In addition to
Russia and Yugoslavia-voted to grant such
hearing, but this was one short Of the necessary
seven. For Egypt and Ecuador abstained, and
Cuba and Nationalist China went along with
as in the negative, on the ground-aS Mr.. Austin
argued-that II the Chinese Communists were
permitted to enter the Councils precincts before
the facts were gathered by the commissions
investigation, they would merely stage propa-
ganda show against us and seek in other ways
to disrupt the proceedings
The Soundness of this American view has
been confirmed by what Soviet Delegate Jacob
A. Malik has said and done following the defeat
OF the plan to hear the Chinese Reds. Vilifying
us without restraint, he has vetoed the proposed
Indian-Swedish investigating commission as
device designed to get our "gauleiterS and SPIES
into Manchuria-a ot-in-the-mouth statement
to India and Sweden Further, with no one but
himself voting for it, he has tried-rather
ridicuously, in view of his having killed the
move for an impartial inquiry-to have the
Council adopt resolution declaring us guilty of
Peiping's charge. 1t need hardly be added that
Mao's representatives had they been granted a
hearing, would almost certainly have followed
the same line.
All this speaks pretty much for itself as
faith In connection with our alleged bombing
BY way of contrast, our American position will
stand the test of history as an example of an
honest effort to settle dispute peacefully and
fairly.
