A STARTLING and little
IN known fact Is that of all
the war material shipped
overseas by this country in
1912, only As per cent arrived
In usable condition. So bad
was the situation that the
definition of military logistics
had to be changed to "the
art Of delivering the right
thing at the right place at
the right time-in usable con-
dition." BY l945, steps had
been taken to cut these losses
to about Is per cent and fur
ther research in packaging
methods has brought them
down to about S per cent.
Much of the credit Is due
the Packaging Development
Branch of the Engineer Re-
search and Development
Laboratories at Fort Belvoir.
Through the facilities of one
of the most up-to-date con-
tainer-testing labs in the
country, technicians at Bel
voir have done exhaustive
research on types and styles
of containers and how they
stand up to stress and strain.
Briefly, the aim of the labora-
tory Is twofold: To prevent
material from being damaged
in shipment because Of faulty
containers and to prevent it
from being damaged inter-
nally by corrosion, fungi or
improper processing before
shipment.
The first of these two jobs
concerns itself primarily with
the container In which an
item Is to be shipped. The
container must be designed
to be transportable by truck,
rail, ship. airplane, glider, or
anything handy at the
moment. It must be designed
to be dropped from the air,
moved on rollers, handled by
fork-lift trucks, lifted by
sings or in a cargo net,
dragged or pushed by a trac-
tor. In fact, some of these
abuses will be encountered a
number of times before an
item reaches its user. Another
condition that must be antici-
pated Is the extreme COM
preston to which containers
are often subjected in ships
Stowage or when careleSSly
stacked In warehouses or un-
organized supply dumps.
Each of these problems Is met
and solved by a specially de-
signed testing device in the

Since that time, on the other

have entered the fray. They

Leader then produces a letter
from Gen. Macarthur, the U. N.
commander in chief in Korea,
who says there is no conflict Of
"logic or tradition" in using the
troops of the Nationalist gov
ernment.
The two words-"logic" and
"tradition"-have lots of mean
ing in this connection. It Is
logical from a military viewpoint
for the Nationalists to be en-
couraged to open a second front
on China's mainland and thus
draw Communist troops away
from the Korean battle area.
It is traditional, too, for the
United States Government to
assist a recognized government
which requests military aid. The
precedent had been established
in Greece and in many other
countries even before the Tru-
man Doctrine was announced
in 1947.
The problem Of using Nation

According to reports received
recently in Washington. there is
no indication yet that the Rus
sian troops have penetrated In
force farther into Manchuria.
Speaker Rayburn obviously
was told these facts only We'd

was not intended to catch
votes. During the many years
he has served in the House of
Representatives he has never
used devices of such a moment
Gus nature to swing votes in favor
of legislative proposals of his
party.
There is no doubt that he
must have received more i'm

Speaker Rayburn has faith

that World War III is already

Dovid Lawrence:

Thirty-four years ago today
the United States entered
World War I, and President
Wilson shocked Congress by his
message demanding CONSUMPTION
and the use Of ''force without
STINT" But he got overwhelm-
ing support at once from both
political parties in Congress.
Today the issue Of conscrip-
ton Is debated again. but this
: time the councils in both politi-
cal parties are confused. There
are Republicans and Democrats
who haven't wanted to send
any more troops to Europe, and
there are members Of Congress
from both parties who would
like to see our forces brought
back from Korea, too, and to
have all our effort concentrated
in defending territorial United
States.
In the middle of all this comes
o rather emphatic statement
from the Republican leader in
the House Of Representatives,
Joseph w. Martin. of Massa-
chusetts, who demands to know
why the armed forces Of China
on Formosa are not being used
to open q second Asiatic front
against the Communists. The
Formosa armies owe allegiance
to President Chang Kai-sek of
the government of China which
is still recognized by us and by
the United Nations as the le-
gitimate government of the Chi
nese Republic.
1t is, however, by the order Of
the United States Government
that the Nationalist forces on
Formosa are not permitted to
land on the Chinese mainland.
This was ordered last June at a

ernment hoped to localize the

Big oil again is busy trying to
break down the regulatory au-
thority over natural gas vested
by Congress in the Federal
Power Commission to protect
gas consumers. now numbering
more than 10000, 900 all over the
country.
In a motion filed with the
commission, Phillips Petroleum
Co. Of Bart1esville, Okla. ninth
largest in the Nation, is cha1-
lenging FPC's authority over
rates for natural gas it charges
for pipelines it serves. This is
directed specifically at the FPC
inquiry ordered 21a years ago
into alleged excessive prices
charged by Phillips to the Mich
igan-Wisconsin Pipe Line Co.
that serves the States of Mis-
souri,, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Michigan.
The action came just as the
FPC inquiry finally was getting
under way at Bartlesville after
numerous delays and postpone
ments. The FPC is being
watched closely, for one thing,
because this action goes to the
heart Of its authority and af-
fects the interest of consumers
all over the Nation beyond this
particular case and, for another,
because a majority of FPC hith-
erto has exhibited considerable
softness toward Phillips which,
indeed, does have powerful po-
ltical backing.
Last December the commits
sion tentatively approved the
request of Phillips for a post
ponement for "the duration"
OF the national emergency.

claim loudly that the security

There is no question that for

There are strong reasons to

or that they would require
American aid which would
amount to intervention by us on
the mainland of China and that
this would assuredly bring
Russia into the war.
General Macarthur evidently
has heard these arguments and
is not persuaded by them. He
thinks apparently that the dip
lomats have been bluffed into
a timid state and that Russia,
conscious Of the weakness Of the
diplomats and their fears, is
moving ahead aggressively to
help the Chinese Communists In
Korea anyway. General Mac
Arthur has a right, of course. to
testify before Congress and an
swer any questions its members
may ask. In his reply to Repre-
sentative Martin he says forth
rightly that global war has be-
gun in Asia and that this is the
place to meet the challenge.
"Here in Korea" he writes.
1--WE fight Europe's war with
arms while the diplomats there
still fight it with words"
The reference undoubtedly is
not to American diplomats but
to European diplomats, SO many
of whom have been criticizing
General Macarthur and trying
to hamstring him by declaring
that he wants to make war on
China. In truth, General Mac
Arthur realistically points out
that the Chinese Communists
have made war on us and that
the only question to be answered
is whether America will meet
the challenge or let her own
troops In Korea be chewed up as
a consequence of a limited
strategy and a refusal to use

that not all the troops massed
in Manchuria are Chinese Com

prised anybody who has been
following the Far East situation

The concentration Of Russian
forces has been known about in
Washington since last Decem-
ber. On December 6 it was
stated in this column: Behind
the Communist lines, on the
Siberian Manchurian border,
are Is Soviet divisions, fully
mechanical and supported by an
imposing air force ready to enter
for the kill in the Korean war;"
In January the question Of al
lowing Gen. Macarthur to bomb
the bases across the Yalu River
and letting Chinese Nationalist
forces loose in Southern China
was being discussed behind
closed doors In Washington.
Our diplomats were opposed
to the idea, because they feared
Soviet retaliation. Their fears
were based on the strength Of
the Russian armies on the Siber-
ian-Manchurian border.

Cab Driver Not Guilty

driver, was found not guilty ,of the charge of "pimping iwhile engaged in the opera tion of a taxi cab" Tuesday afternoon by a jury of seven after 10 minutes of delibera- tion.
 The case was heard in city magistrate Myrna Perkins court and was heatedly argued by Paul A. Dupler, local attor- ney and prosecutor for the ci- ty, and William Renfrew, An chorage attorney and counsel for Redick.
 Renfrew based his defense ] on the prosecutors failure to produce testimony allegedly recorded on a wire recorder by Redick at the U. s. Mar shal's office after he was ac- cused.
 Following testimony of wit nesses Renfrew asked the ma gistrate to dismiss the charges because of a lack of evidence. The request was denied and several witnesses were recall ed for further testimony.
 The prosecution charged that Redick directed three men to a house rented by Ray Cantzler of the ACS and loca- ted next to the city hall, alleg- edly housing two prostitutes. Cantzler testified that he rented a room to two women at the request of Redick but that he, Cantzler, did not see them or know of any allegedly illicit activity carried on there. Cantzler explained that he worked nights at the ACS and at Joe's Doghouse.
 Renfrew hammered home the fact that the prosecution had not produced the wire re- cording of Redick's alleged statement to officers that he had directed three men to the house. It was explained by U. s. Deputy Marshal Clar- ence Dizney that a part of the testimony had inadvertently been erased from the wire.
 Ovid Mckinley, city patrol man, was the only witness be- sides Dizney and Cantzler. Redick was placed briefly on the stand by his attorney and denied that he had directed anyone to the house but said he knew of two women occu- pying a room there.
