N EAT PRICE
ROLL BACK IS
N0W0RDERED

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is III
The government today ordered
many large meat packers to roll
back prices in surprise move
aimed at relieving price squeezes
on wholesalers and retailers.
The action was taken by the Of
flee of Price Sterilization ops.
Officials there expressed doubt
the move would have any immed-
late effect on retail meat prices
paid by housewives.
Instead, they said, it is more
likely to guarantee more equitable
distribution" of meat supplies. They
noted that meat prices generally
we're frozen on Jan. rs at the high
est level charged by a retailer be-
tween Dec. 10 and that date.

Big FORCE
IS NEEDED
IN EUROPE
Marsh all Says Six u. 5.
Army Divisions Are Re-
quired for Defense

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is Up
Administration plans contemplate
that six U. S. Army divisions---triple
the American forces now in Europe
will serve with the combined AL
lied Armies being organized to de-
fend Western Europe against pos
sible Communist aggression.
Secretary of Defense Marshall
gave the figure, which means send
ing over four additional divisions,
to the Senate Foreign Relations and
Armed Services Committees today.
He said he did it reluctantly" but
in belief it was better than to have
a debate over uncertainties.
Marshall gave no overall figure
as to numbers of men, but an Amer
lean Army division consists of about
$4,000 men. In addition, support ele-
ments = supply and maintenance,
communication, transportation and
other units - are needed to keep
combat forces in state of readi-
ness.
Present Overseas Force
The Unitel States now has in Eu-
rope the First Infantry division
and a constabulary force equiva-
lent to a second division trained
and equipped for field combat, yet
the last official indication Of troop
strength in Europe was about $1,000
men. Thus more than 10000 men
of the present force presumably are
in support elements.
The Senate Committees are con-
sidering whether Congress should
adopt a resolution of some nature
concerning the "troops-to-Europe
issue. Marshall was the first witness
at hearings.
In ripping the top-secret label
off this much of the governments
blueprint for defending Western Eu-
rope. Marshall emphasized that the
aim of the forces is to keep the
peace.
Keep the Peace
He said the intention is:
|. ITO deter aggression If that
be possible and
2. ITO defeat aggression if, in
spite of all our efforts, the actions
of the Soviet Union or its Satellites
should precipitate another World
War"
AS to any congressional stand,
Marshall strongly urged that the
legilators should not do anything
which would tie the hands of Gen.
Dwight d. Eisenhower, as Com
mander of Allied Forces, by limiting
the number of troops that could be
placed under his command.
The proposed six U. S. divisions
under Eisenhower would be part OF
total contemplated defense force
of about 40 divisions.
In addition to the U. S. ground
forces. there would also be American
air and naval units in the COM
bined defense forces.

RUSSIA HAS REPLACED
NAZI GERMANY

Washington correspondent says
that Lieut. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway,
field commander in Korea, is being held
responsible for the letdown in war inter
est. His success in defeating the armies of
Communist China, after the catastrophe
that followed the offensive to end the war
at the Yalu river, has gathered "an urge
at home to get back to business and pleas
ure as usual"
There is some truth to the observa-
ton as to the state of public opinion. 1T
would be mistake, however, for the peo-
pie of the United States to conclude, even
if complete victory is achieved in Korea
that the need for rearming is over.
The main threat to the peace of the
world does not come from Communist
China. 1t comes from Soviet Russia and in
Europe. The danger is not the economic
theory of the Russians 1t is the military
might of the Soviet concentrated under
the control of small group of leaders,
who are apparently ready, if the booty is
national policy.
The peace of the world was endan-
gered by Hitler, not because of his theories,
but because of the might of the Nazi ma
ton and the ruthlessness with which pow
er was used to trample the rights of those
who did not cooperate with the Nazis.
The same danger exists today but it is
Russia which now demands "coopera-
tion' and backs it with thinly disguised
threats to use force if necessary to get it.

We, therefore, having. spent

We think it is a good hospital

even a better hospital.
Anyone who has read the re-
cent articles in The Citizen about

know the things we have done.
This community is growing
