No theater commander, he asserted,

Keep Troops Out
Gen. Wedemeyer explained he
thought this country had been right
in interceding in Korea to halt COM
munist aggression but wrong in the
way it went about it. He said he him
self never would have committed
ground troops to the peninsula but
would have used the fleet and air

Puff, Puff!
The nations tobacco manufacturers
are expected to turn out an all-time
record of 41O billion cigarettes during
the year ending June 80, says the De-
partment of Agriculture.
That would equal almost half a
package per day for every man, wom-
an and child in the country.
The total cigarette manufacture in
1949-50 was 383 billion. The year be-
fore it was 800 billion.
Cigarette smoking by people aged

ment says. 1t predicts a further rise
as the result of new smokers and
higher personal incomes stemming
from increased defense industries.
To meet the growing demand for
cigarettes, the Department said the
1851 crops Of fue-cured and hurley
tobacco (the major cigarette types)
are expected to be larger than last
years. And government price sup

Army
No Enlisted Men, Please

The U. S Army in Berlin has found
that GIs facing courts martial no
longer want men of their own rank
sitting in judgment on them
At first when enlisted men were
granted the right to sit on courts
martial if the defendant wanted
them, the soldier figured he'd get a
break Invariably he would request
enlisted personnel on the board for
his trial Now the situation is re-
versed.
Officers More Lenient
Officers say defendants, practically
without exception, specifically re-
quest a court martial by officers only.
The punishment is usually lighter and
the court generally more sympathetic.
Enlisted men looking down from
bench on a soldier who has "souled
up" are not inclined to accept ex-
cuses. Most Of those, serving on the
courts are oldtimers with good
records.
All Of them have, been disgusted at
times with what they call "eight
balls"-soldiers who do not fit into
the Army system.
The experienced sergeant figures a
soldier who gets into such trouble
that he must face a court martial is
''no buddy" to lean on in combat.
One Berlin officer with considerable
court martial experience said:
"We often have to tone down the
enlisted men. They resent a bad sol
der like the plague and they want to
throw bigger and heavier book
sometimes than we possess"
It didn't take long for this to get
around Now a soldier in trouble
enough to warrant a court martial
most often goes out Of his way to re-
guest: mo enlisted men, please"

THE TABOR CITY TRIBUNE
RETIRED u. S. GENERAL SAYS
WORLD IN GREAT CRISIS

smart men (smart only compaf-
ed with the worlds current crop
of politicans), probably will al
low us to build up a considerable
force in Europe, and then direct
that another Korean episode take
place in Iran, Burma, 1ndo-Cnlna
or some other place to It's llklllg'
Our program implies another ex
peditionary force to such a spot
on the 10000 mile front. Thus II
can and probably will continue
for years. The end result Tor US
is exactly what Lenin and Stalin
openly have stated to be tnelr
objective: our destruction.
The men of the Politburo can
not impose their system lndetln-
itely even upon the Russian peo-
ple, so long as any other nation
maintains such a standard OF Nv
ing as ours has been. They must
destroy us or be destroyed.
Is it not inevitable that we are
heading into an intolerable exist
ence? Is it not certain that tne
pursuit of this global program -
sure to reduce us to natlona
bankruptcy and military lmpo
tency?
We must change that policy
before we are too weak to re-
trieve our national safety.
We have expended $50 billion
on our military establishment
since World War II ended. Our
military leaders, if they are COM
petent, should be ready now to
defend America in the only way
that ever led to victory; that Is
to take the initiative away from
the Politburo and do whatever
NAV be necessary to destroy Its
capacity further to torment hu'
mainly!
We must close ranks here IN
our country. To do so, we need
to have a simple and direct 3D.
iective which all of us can under
stand and believe in.
If that be done, all of America
would support a warning to the
Politburo-made very qultely
and firmly with an understand
ing between Congress and the
Executive. ,
The Politburo's failure to heed
that warning within a stated
time should be followed at once
bv delivery of atomic bombs
against every military potential
in all of Russia.
If our military men cannot 40
the lob now, we need to get men
who can. We believe that we can
do the job.
Today, America, terribly hum
iliiated because of the Korean
War, stands bewildered anc
afraid. ,
Either we kill the thing that
we fear, or it will kill us!

Children Need
Music Encourages

Fewer children would quit talk
ing music lessons if teachers and
parents would help them to en-
ioy music, rather than drill them
for show-off recitals.
That's the conclusion reached
after a survey made among tea
cheers by Good Housekeeping
magazine, which says that, "The
more music a child can play
good or bad, but music attractive
to him-the prouder and more
willing to continue his lessons
he will be-"
Writing in the March issue
music editor George Marek re
ports that teachers, themselves
blame poor teaching methods for
most cases of abandoned music
lessons. Parents, he says, must
choose a teacher who uses "skill

Another expert believes tina
music should be taught by relat
ing it to experiences in the child's
life. Many Teachers" he says
"have had good luck with max
ing up little stories about the
music to be played"
Marek believes that two things
are necessary to keep alive
child's enthusiasm for music
First, he needs feeling of sue.

BY BRICE P. DISQUE

OUR NATION, now IN anotner
crisis, faces a threat of destruc-
ton from war or from our own
stupidity. We are confused, un'
able to lay down a program with
any degree of definiteness.
Our international policy, inso-
far as it can be understood, is to
defend all of the world regard
less of the desire, willingness or
capacity of others to defend
themselves.
Such a policy, or lack of one,
imposes a colossal, if not lmpos-
sible, task upon our military
men. They are expected to be
prepared to fight wars in tropl-
cal and polar areas, in jungles:
mountain country, and on plains
They must be ready to meet enc
mics of all kinds and uncertain
quality. No master of armament
supply and logistics can solve
such a problem within the re,
sources of this or any group OF
nations.
We sit like the strongest fam
ily in a village constantly IN
dread of a predatory wild beast
that has been killing OFT one
family at a time. We refuse to 60
out and try to kill the beast, even
though there is much more thar
an even chance that we can &c
so. Apparently our program IS to
sit in our home, buy few more
guns, hand out a few to others
and then tell them we will come
TO the rescue of each family after
the beast breaks into their nome
In other words, we propose 10
stop the Russian Politburo over

soviets have the decisive military
advantage of operating on IN
terror lines" and they can inde-
finitely hold their own main mill,
tarv power in reserve while we
dissipate such as we have.
A more ridiculous program
could not be devised. 1t is doubt
full if we could lay down pro
Gram more to the liking OF the
Politburo. Certainly, it is a pro,
gram of cowardice and will lead
to our liquidation as a Captains,
Republic. The program is sale
to be necessary because Amerl'

vent attack on us. Under todays
conditions, such an attitude can
not be justified by any use OF inc

City's II major daily newspapers
A strike threat was removed by

The pact-to be signed today
ends all current negotiations af-
fecting craft workers on daily
newspapers. Eight other unions
had reached agreement with the
publishers last month, but the
deliverers rejected the general
basic agreement because of dis
satisfaction with a hiring clause
A union spokesman said yester-
day that the New York Newspaper
Publishers Association, which rep
resents the newspapers. had met
the deliverers' demand for clause
providing hiring on an industry
wide seniority basis. Originally
the publishers sought to have hir-
ing of the deliverers based OF

THE people have a right to
know war situation in which
their sons are involved" he said.
Il think today both the press and
the armed forces are keeping our
citizens well informed during this
period of great peril"
Without referring to the recent
censorship restrictions imposed on
correspondents in Korea, he said
there are and there always will
be- points of friction between the
military and the reporters.
Turning to the home front, he
said he would always remember
with respect and great satisfac-
ton the extraordinary care that
the newspapers gave to the report
ing Of the INJURY into the fitness
OF Anna Rosenberg to serve as

Mrs. Rosenberg, accused of be-
ing a Red sympathizer when her
name was proposed, was confirmed
after Senate Investigations re-
ported there was no foundation
to charges that she once was as
ISOLATED with Communist groups,
Along the same line, Gen. Mar
