For it is the profound antagonism of America
and the Soviet Union and the blocks they lead in
world politics. which colors every lesser problem,
which initiates every budget, which takes its toll of
every persons living standard both sides of
the Iron Curtain
1t takes two to make reconciliation. And it
would be foolhardy for us to relax in gigantic
program of resistance to Soviet aggression. But it
is well to remember that what Americans in general
want just as much editors, is preventive
or an awesome showdown but merely an agreement to
live and let live
1t is often said, enormously in paraphrase Of
Lincoln, that the world cannot live half slave and
half free That is falacous, for the world has lived
a long, long time. And for many centuries, it has
been part slave and part free 1t would be strange
if world so large and so diverse were not divided
between freedom and tyranny.
The best hope of peace, for the years just ahead
is a strong America poised to make its immense
military and economic power count But the peace
that strength insures is and will remain an
armed peace-a costly strained, enervating peace
that saps the vgor and wealth of all the peoples.
The way ought always to be kept open, there
fore to rational discussion, to compromise, to recon-

small it ought never to be ignored For if we once

THE PULSE OF THE PEOPLE

When Associated Press managing editors were
asked the other day at the annual meeting what story
they would like most to spread in the next days
bapers with an unlimited choice they voted over
|whemingly for a story announcing Russian Ameri
ean reconciliation.
The editors knew it is impossible in the condi
lions of our time. And nearly all Americans know
6t is impossible But the editors had an unlimited
Choice" and their instinct sound. No other story,
lin the circumstances of 1850, would bring as much
relief to the worries of people everywhere No other
story would imply great burden lifted from the
bent backs of common humanity the world over.

friends. Watkins lived at Thane

Several BA-64 light-armored cars
were also captured. However, they
are distinctly inferior to the Ameri-
can M-8 in maneuverability, fire
power and defense against small
arms.
Most captured Soviet rifles are
modelled after the U. S. SPRING
field 1903. They weigh 10 pounds,
use five-round clips and fire at a
slower rate than modern U. s..
rifles.
However, a novel, hand-shoulder
antitank gun was captured that IS
easy to maneuver and can pierce
armor up to two and one-half in
ches. The Russian-made Goryunov
machine gun can also be used
against aircraft by reversing the
gun and elevating the tail. Its ef-
fective range is 900 yards but it is
difficult to carry and load. The
North Koreans also used an SU-76
propelled gun, mounted on a
T-34 tank. which was effective I'M
til the U. S. Pershing and Patton
tanks showed up and outshot it.

Soviet Secret Weapons


American ordnance officers are
popeyed at Soviet weapons, captur-
ed in Korea. They are SO amazed
that they are hastily revising their
estimates of Russian military
might and are convinced that the
United States has been underesti-
mating Russian strength by as
much as so percent.
A preliminary survey indicates
that Russia sent nearly two billion
dollars worth of military aid to
North Korea, which is more than
the total American deliveries to all
North Atlantic pact countries COM
bined, and this does not include
planes and ships which the Rus
slams did not supply to North Korea
in quantity.
Furthermore. markings on the
equipment have been traced to
Russian factories that U. S. Intel
hgence thought were producing CIV
ilian goods. These captured weapons
are now being tested and evaluateo
at the Aberdeen, Md, ordnance
center.
The most effective weapons cap
tured from the North Koreans are
heavy mortars and burp guns
which laid down the most terrific
firepower that the American Army
has ever faced.
For example, the captured Rus.
sian 120-mm. trench mortar j!
heavier than the comparable a..
inch US. mortar; also fires l,60(
yards farther. In addition, thu
North Koreans used a mortar ever
heavier than the l20-mm., which
the army has not yet evaluated
The Russian burp gun has {
drum-type magazine and fires at {
terrifically rapid rate. Most Of these
were inscribed with $50 manutac
turing markings, thus refuting thu
Soviet claim that they had shipped
no arms to North Korea since 1915
Soviet Jeeps
Probably the most fascinating
captured equipment is the Rus
sian jeep. This is slightly large
and more comfortable than the U
S. model, is equipped with softe
seats, double springs and bette
shock absorbers. However, its vita
parts are still modelled after tn
outmoded A and B types, mad
by Ford.
