Gen. Collins Criticizes

It may mean silake-up in army training, but Gen. J. Lawton Col cins, Army chief of staff was crit ical of U. s. Army maneuvers in West Germany last week. After watching crack army combat in mock battle near Grafenwohr, Col lins called for more stress on fire power, less on manpower.
 The units had been practicing frontal attacks and bayonet char ges, which run up the casualty list as the Chinese have learned in Ko- req. Instead, Collins recommended that the troops deploy to high ground and concentrate on fire power. He pointed out that America can spare artillery fire. but not Ailen Collins also suggested that the air force work closer with ground troops in actual training in lkorder to improve tactical air sup port.

through. the thinking together;
and exchange Of ideas Of all the
delegates. Again, the subject mat
ter was varied and included every
possible phase Of life and living
pertaining to the development of
childrens' personality. There were
three sessions in all for each work
group. The one / attended had to
do with the functioning of demo-
cratic leadership in community
planning for children and youth.
In it, approximately 20 people
from various backgrounds and ex-
perience pooled their knowledge
and learned from one another;
and came up with several recon-
mendations for those of us all ov-
err the country who are doing COM
munity planning for children and
youth. One Of the recommends
tions was that any council or or
ganization that is planning for a.
community, must be representa-
tive of the WHOLE community.
This means that in Dare, our
countrywide council must have
representative from every COM
munity and should work with all
groups and organizations now in
existence. 1 realized then that we,
were making a horrible mistake
but not one that couldn't be cor
rected. We were trying to plan for
youth with no youth representa-
ton either on the Council or the
Executive Board. I came away
from Washington with at least
that one idea firmly imbedded-
that we were doomed to failure
unless we asked youth to help us
plan.
The work groups were an en-
tightening display of democracy
in action, especially for the inter
national observers who were free
to visit any of the sessions. Each
of us had our say and a mother
from Missouri could exchange
views with a professor of educa-
ton; or a high school student from
California could plead the case for
youth with a southern Judge. Our
group leader was the finest / have
ever seen. No one was made to
feel that his ideas counted for
nought and, if we did not cover
as much ground as we expected,
it was only because, as we all
know, democratic action is slow,
since we are all at different levels
Of experience and it takes time
for majority opinion to come to
the top.

Procurement Problems
Manager kellogg and his assis-
tants have tougher problems than
selling materials, once they get
them to sell. The really tough
thing, just now, is getting enough
of certain types of building mater
ials to supply the demand from
their customers. Cement and plas-
ter board have been in short sup
ply for a long time now, and
"There's just no substitute for &C.
ment," as Kellogg says ruefully.
1t is necessary to buy cement
wherever and whenever you can
these days" and the scarcity of 1t
often makes completion of build
ing projects run beyond the time
anyone h ad expected. Another
scarce material is No. Is felt, the
kind that is placed over roof be-
tween the lumber and the shin
giles. The last shipment of this ma
terial received at the Mays Head
warehouse was about an eighth of
a carload; a normal shipment is
a full carload. Lumber is availa-

ployee's said at the Mays Head
branch the other day, You can
get it-but you have to pay for it. "
Tile of all kinds is hard to find,
too, but the Kellogg Company has
one of the most complete supplies
of tile to be found in the area.

Watson said, "and our farmers
with their more than 90 per cent
equity in their farms have the
soundest capitalistic position of
ALL" Mr.. Watson described the
farmers as having an influence on
everything done in the United
States socially, economically
and politically - because of their
position.
Advertising has played a very
important part in putting the
farmers where they are" Mr..
Watson added, "by proving
through advertisements the value
of farm machinery and how much
the farmer can accomplish by
farming in the right way. Some
of the finest advertising today is
in the farm papers and farm
journals"
The speaker also stressed the
need for advertising to keep the
American way of life before the
people of the country. "We must
always keep in mind" said Mr..
Watson, shat when any individ-
ual or any country or any organ
ization feels it has arrived and
gets complacent, it will not be
very long before it will be going
in the other direction"
Mr.. Watson described the rise
in spiritual and educational values
throughout the country. "These
Values" he said, fare what we

and security Of our future. Mem

From all over the country, by

when he warned us that the nee
essary spiritual foundation for all
our work with children and youth
was lacking today. He reminded
US that about half the people in
the world today are children, and
yet we are building a selfishly ed
-ult world in which, for example,
the buildings are designed, the
ads and scandal columns are writ
ten and even peace is made, not
for children, but for adults. He
further pointed out land this
came out time and time again
throughout the ,Conference) that
the permanent, spiritual values
were giving way to a Materials
tic attitude, in which success is

gadgets" and education is becom-
ing almost completely secular. He
was a forceful, honest speaker,
and l don't believe a person sat in
the audience mistaken, not made
to feel humble and inadequate in
whatever area of youth work they
happened to be engaged.
Every speech had some .vib-
rant message for us. DR.. Benja-
min SpOck, a very eminent ped
iatriciaR and writer of child
health books, told US that the
home life was still the most for
ceful and important influence in
a child's life; that children need
good parents who love them
truly. If they have that, though
they may suffer some poverty,
and mediocre schooling and no
social services, nOnetheless they
may develop healthy persOnali-
ties. Over and over, the impOr-
lance of the home was brought
out and the fact that the home
was not fulfilling its sacred re-
spOnsibility. We found out in
our Dare County meeting the
same thing, and recorded the
disintigratiOn of home life as
one of our weakest spots.
Leonard w. Mayo, Director of
the Association for the Aid to
Crippled Children. talked to US
about the large gap between what
we knew and what we are doing.
The knowledge of the needs of
children in education, health, rec
reation, ETC., is not being channel
ed to all those who deal with chill
dren such as parents, teachers,
doctors, and others. Thinking of
back home, l wondered if our new
Council might not help to spread

Conference, Saying that it was
more important than ever before
to preserve the elements of the
American way Of life and to help
children and youth to become
mentally and morally stronger
and hence better citizens. Like SO
many other speakers, he empha-
sized the need of good home;
meaning one where the children
are loved and understood, and ex-
pressed the opinion that such a
home gets them off to a. good start
towards being useful and honora-
Bile citizens.
Our last evening speaker, Car
los F. Romulo, Secretary of For
eign Affairs from the Republic Of
the PHILIPPINES, tried to bolster
our faith in the United Nations,
relating the numerous occasions
during its short lifetime that a
major world struggle was averted
because it was functioning. AS the
first President of the General As
sembly, he had been in a posi-
ton to know the influence of the
United Nations and exhorted us
not to lose faith now even though
the crisis today seems more SER
ious than ever before.
These and other talks better
prepared us for the rest of the
days activities in which we divid-
ed into small groups and worked
on specific subjects, with every
one having the opportunity to
participate.
One type of this smaller group
discussion was the panel. There
were 81 panels in all held during
two mornings; each delegate
could attend one each day. AT
these, five or six people, youth
and adult, qualified to speak on
their topic, sat around table and
answered questions thrown at
them by a room full Of delegates.
The discussions were hot and
heavy and lot of people got a
lot of things off their respective
chests! The subjects were COM
prehensive and included every
thing from "The Use and Misuse
of Mass Media" newspapers, rad

Effects of Discrimination and

The Army today ordered the
purchase of up to 10 million
pounds Of beef in foreign countries

It acted after a request to
domestic packers for bids on 13
million pounds of boneless beef
brought offers of only 10000
pounds from two smaller packers.
Major packers refused to submit
bids. citing Government price
controls and shortage of high
quality beef as the reason.
The Army order authorizing the
purchase of beef in foreign mar
kets was issued today by Under
