draining the resources Of America
and her allies, Moscow will continue
to keep the kettle boiling in the Far
East, in the Middle East and in North

have been ended at any time since

Peiping yessed its bosses. The armis-

concluded within few days after
they started. This did not suit Mos
cows plans and the war is continuing
unabated while truce teams are talk
ing at cross purposes. But even If
truce in Korea were agreed on, the
war in Indo-China would still be
draining the manpower and treasury
of our allies. There also would be
the strong possibility that the con-
flict would extend to Burma. We
have definitely assumed responsible

In conclusion the present interna-
tional situation appears as if it had
been made to order to suit the Soviet
rulers plans for world domination.
The present hot-cold war will keep
America on the jump; will keep
America spending herself-as the
Russians hope-into bankruptcy. Any

Services Seek $4,000 Woman Recruits

Today women have jobs of their own
which they can perform as we'll or
better than men.
Old-line military prejudice doesn't
exist any more. What prejudice there
is nowadays exists in families which,
after protecting their children for
18 or more years, hesitate to see
them off in uniform.
I can understand their feeling; I
have a daughter only three years
away from enlistment age. And I
can assure parents they need have
no anxiety. In service, supervision is
closer and living conditions much
better than she might find working
at civilian job in a strange town.
For many. enlistment is the first
step in maturing as citizens. Woman
veterans of World War II found, after
being mustered out. that they were
better able to recognize their peace
time responsibilities at home.
In the light of what the services
have to offer in return, people close
to the problem believe that women
can best serve their country by en-
listing. and that the girl who serves
her country also serves herself.

struction could begin as soon as the
money is appropriated.
Biggest opponents of the Develop
ment are the railroads. Waterborne
freight movement has grown to such
proportions in the area that it has
alarmed the railroads, which live by
freight revenues. Also, the roads
control many Of the bridges which
would have to be altered-across the
channel. The roads would have to
bear proportionate share of the
cost of alteration.
Proponents of the plan point to
what happens to grain shipments, as
one example. in bumper years. There
aren't enough railroad cars to pick
up the grain and carry it to storage
areas. AS result it backs up at
the source.
But whether the barges could take
care of the oversupply of grain also
is open to question.
Those favoring quick completion of
the Illinois Waterway improvements
also point out than an air attack
could effectively block the narrow
channel and halt all shipping between

These are to be completed by 1855.
Army engineers estimate that the
windened and improved Calumet
Sag Channel will eventually carry IS
million tons of shipping during the
eight months Of navigation each
year.
Shipping interests list several
points among their arguments for
completion Of the Calumet-Sag
Channel improvement. They say it
will:
/. Open a vital transportation
bottleneck.
2. Provide more employment in
the Chicago industrial area.
8. Cut transportation costs. and
consequently consumer costs.
4. Provide interchange Of cargoes

I couldn't help but recall 1912,
when I had just become director of
the WAAC. Uniforms weren't so
chic then; we had to settle for Army
khaki because there was shortage
of blue material-and even then
there weren't enough uniforms to 60

couple of thousand recruits in

The history of the Illinois Water
way dates back to 1916, when a treaty
with the Indians gave the United
States 20-mile strip of land from
Chicago to Ottawa. Ill. In 1922.
Congress passed legislation which led
to the completion of the Illinois and
Michigan Canal.
Chicago doomed. In 1900. the Chi
cago Sanitary and Ship Canal was
built, primarily for drainage pur-
poses. But it also was dug deep
enough for navigation.
In 1880, Congress passed the Rivers
and Harbors Act, and took over juris-
diction of the channel, completed its
construction and opened the entire
Illinois Waterway to navigation in
1888. The waterway has been main
tanned since by the Army engineers.

S138 Million Project Will Provide New Lokes-to-Guf Link
BY Jack Jonas

Before the white man came, the
Indians carried their war canoes
across the portage between the Great
Lakes and the Mississippi River.
During World War II, bigger war
canoes moved over the same route,
but they moved by water all the way
submarines and tankers built in
Great Lakes shipyards and headed
for the Gulf and the open sea.
They scraped and bumped through
the narrow Calumet-Sag Channel
through Chicago and Lockport, as
bridges, controlled by the Navy under
contract with the railroads, were
tediously raised and lowered for the
passage of each ship.
This is the bottleneck that cuts
off major lake shipping from inter-
change between the Great Lakes and
the Mississippi waterway. 1t is a
man-made channel, designed to meet
the needs of shipping industry that
grew too fast.
Now the channel is too small and
the Government plans to spend $105.5
ull1llOu 10 WlOSu ~ dIlO uCCpcA ~,
and to change the immobile bridges
to allow for passage of larger vessels.
Another $33 million is to be spent
by local governments principally
Cook County. Hin cooperative
effort to eliminate the bottleneck
and move important shipping be-
tween the two major shipping lanes.
Army engineers say the free move
ment of ships between these water
ways is vital to national defense. But
more important is the growth OF
shipping.
The shipping estimate for the Great
Lakes is $50 million tons during navi-
CATION months and for the Mississippi,
1876 million tons. But only about 10
million tons pass through the Illi-
nois waterway.
Except for planning expenses, moth
ing is included in the current Federal
budget for development of the Calu-
met-Sag Channel. The engineers
point out that plans are far enough
along SO that dredging and con-

They also feel that pinpoint at.
tacks could destroy unarmed merch-
ant vessels plying the waters. And
the channel. they add, is too small
to allow for replacement of these
vessels from shipyards away from the
lakes.
The stretch to be developed at this
cost Of $138.5 million is "a miles long.
Farther along toward the Mississippi,
developments from Lockport to Graf
ton. Ill.-a distance of 247 miles
cost about $62 million, of which $50
million was laid out by Illinois.
The difference in cost of the two
projects indicates the immensity of
the needs on the Calumet-Sag Chan
mel. This is the channel that runs
through downtown Chicago, and the
costs would be high. The Govern
ment hopes to have the entire project
completed by 1859. The first part al
ready is finished-that between Lock-
port and Grafton. About $4,000 has
been appropriated this year for fin
ishing touches on that section.
On the other section, much shorter.

some of the men in uniform were
not ready to accept 1t. Even Army
ard Navy nurses did not enjoy the
full commissioned status they do
today.
Old Army men warned me. ''This
isn't going to work out. The Amer
ican girl has been pampered and
babied and spoiled. Women won't
like Army life"
My answer was that it would work
out, because the American girl has
something to defend: Greater free
dom, more rights and privileges than
any other women. Nearly 275.000
women-every one volunteer-bore
out my prediction.
So 1t isn't surprising to find the
Defense Department launching a
drive this week to enlist $4,000 wom-
en- in the nine service components.
This drive, aimed at women Is
through "a, will continue through
June 80, at which time there should
be $4,000 women in uniform.
The objective now is not simply
as in World War Ito substitute
women for men in rear-area jobs.

The $4,000 or more Americans
who live with their backs to the Rhine
River take two views of its bridges:
They have the usual view-that the
Rhine is one of the chief barriers
against an enemy advance from the
east, and so the 10 spans across the
stream must be destroyed If the en-
emy approaches from beyond the
hills that guard the Rhine.
The Americans also look at the
bridges another way. Since practi-
cally all Of them live east of the
Rhine. they'll need the bridges as
much as the enemy in case of war.
If they have to flee. they don't want

more than the enemy does.
The military authorities have TAX
en- special precautions to guard the
bridges. so that Russian paratroopers
or Communist saboteurs could not
get at them. Explosive chambers
have been bored in the foundations
for demolition charges.
