equipped in every way. even down
ito tanks and aircraft.
The satellite security troops
are modelled precisely on the pat
tern of the Soviet MVD and
IMGB troops. whose role, un-
like that of the German SIS, is
limited strictly to mounting guard
over the regime and repressing
rebellion at home, including
mutiny in the army. In the event
of war, they would move behind
the armies in the field and police
the rear.
Officers Only Puppets
The high command structure OF
the satellite armies is not yet uni
form. In Poland and Bulgaria
Soviet professional soldiers of Pol
ish or Bulgarian origin are openly
in command. But in Czechoslo-
vakia, Hungary and Romania. the
ministers of defense, the chiefs
of staff and the commanders in
chief are natives" who are, in
fact, nothing but Communist po-
litical leaders in generals uniforms
puppets manipulated by the So
Wet Army command. It is clear
that before the satellite armies
can be considered an entirely
homogeneous fighting force there
will have to be further changes
and purges. Nevertheless, by the
end of 1852 a formidable proper
ton of the satellite divisions
should be as good as the Soviet
divisions from the point of view of
training, equipment and officer
ing.
How will these satellite armies
fight? Russia has too firm a
stranglehold on their organization
for them to do otherwise than
fight, but they are essentially
armies of janissaries, purged Of
their finest natural leaders, and
cannot be considered free allies
Of the Soviet armies. It is true
to say that large numbers of the
new conscripts are pleased to
serve in their armies because they
are assured of food and the neces-
sites of life. But no amount of
or good equipment can
infuse the same enthusiasm or
into their ranks as into
the corps d'elite of the Soviet
Army itself. If the Western ma,
tions can display both statesman
ship and military strength, the
value of the satellite nations to
the Soviet Union may become in
creasingly problematical.

Absolute coordination of these
forces is the object of the Krem-

the satellite armies, and the
armies themselves are now being
reorganized to conform with the
standard Soviet pattern and
equipped with the standard Soviet
armament. except for the latest
tanks and special weapons, such
as rocket projectors. The task of
coordination has been rendered
more radical by the peculiar ma

Fifteen years after Halle Selas-
/ sic fed to London before the con-
quest by MusSolini's legions-an
aggression which the powers of
the world did nothing to stop-the
little Emperor of Ethiopia is
sending his own tiny legions to do
their part in stopping today's ag-
|gression-in Korea.
Halle Selassie appeared before
the League of Nations Assembly in
July. 1886. to argue against final
dropping of sanctions against Italy.
Apart from the Kingdom of the
Lord" he pleaded, there is not
on this earth any nation superior
to any other. Are the states going
to set up the terrible precedent of
bowing before force? 1t is inter-
national morality which is at
stake
Volunteers Plentiful
Today. proving that his argu-
ments against force work both
ways, Halle Selassie is sending
1,100 Of his best troops to join the
United Nations forces in Korea.
These men, some of whom are
veterans Of the 1856 war. are all
volunteers and members of Selas-
sie's imperial bodyguard. When
the call went out more offered to

dated.

shown by the record written by
the Turkish troops in Korea.
Turks also say they can mobilize
2 million well-trained men on
short notice. They have had a
military training system for gen.
erations and they have a fighting
reputation.
Lawyer by Profession
Mr.. Sarper was born June IA,
1899, in Istanbul, Turkey. He was
graduated from the Faculty Of
Law of Ankara and he began his
career In the Turkish Ministry of
Foreign Affairs on April IT. 1927.
He served through the usual as
sortment of .secretarial posts in
Europe, especially in the Balkans,
and was a secretary Of embassy
in Moscow for awhile.
In the early days Of the Second
World War he was put In the
press and publicity section Of his
government. On May 81, 1941,
he was made director general OF
the press department. When that
department was reorganized on
August /, 1943. he was appointed
director general of the new "di-
rectorate general of press and
publicity"
His next post was in Moscow,
where he remained until June,
1916. He was sent as Turkish
Ambassador to Italy then and the
next year he was made Turkeys
delegate to the u. N. He has
headed the Turkish delegation to
several General Assemblies and
once served as vice president of
the General Assembly.
The Ambassador is married to
a pretty. -haired daughter of
a former Turkish general. Her
name is Kamuran. They have two
daughters. One, Ulker Sarper. is
a student at Cedar Crest College,
Allentown, Pa. The second, Ayse
Sarper, is currently engrossed in
Wild West movies and devoted to
bubble gum.
The Sarpers live in Flushing,
along the shores Of the Long
Island Sound.

'Itoy Machine OF S. Divisions in Iron Curton Countries
So Far, Is Poorly Equipped and Lacks Coordination

During the past few months it
has become possible to assess the
strength of the armed forces of
the Eastern European satellites
now being built up by the Krem-
lin to supplement the ITS divi-
sions OF the Soviet Army, % of
which are now stationed In the
satellite countries and 81 in occu-
pied Germany and Austria.
The general picture which
emerges is of a potentially for
midable military machine, it's for
nations and units standardized on
the Soviet pattern, completely con-
trolled by the Soviet high COM
mand. but unpredictable as to
morale. That such forces play an
important part in Soviet strategy
has been amply shown in Korea.
The technique of vicarious aggres-
sion used in Asia had already been
applied, though on a smaller scale,
in Greece. Tt could be brought to
bear again, and on a large scale,
against Yugoslavia for example.
The rebuilding of the Eastern
European armies, some of them
virtually eliminated by the peace
treaties, did not start on a serious
scale until 1949, and was conceived
as countermove to the establish
ment Of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. Until then the
Kremlin was content to gain
political control of the satellite
armies through an elaborate series
of purges while. at the same time,
setting in motion a great training
scheme for building up new cadres
of officers and NCOs supervised
by Soviet military missions. But
during the past year, the purges
largely completed and the new
cadres established, the serious
business of building up the
strength of the armies began.
Had 55 Satellite Divisions
AT the beginning of 1851 the
paper strength of the land forces
of Poland. Czechoslovakia, Hun
gary. Bulgaria, Romania and Al
bania totaled SIS divisions. But it
is important to bear in mind that
these satellite divisions, like their
Soviet prototypes. are only half
the strength of their Western op-
posite numbers. Further, except
in Poland and Bulgaria, which for
some time have been receiving
modern Soviet equipment, and
Czechoslovakia, the only satellite
capable of providing its own heavy
armament. the armies have been
most inadequately supplied.

public hearings without much pub
lie attendance, and submitted two
written reports hardly mentioned
even in the Congressional Record
at the time.
Then came the report on "in-
f1uence and favoritism' affecting
RFC. Members say they hadn't
planned further hearings until
President Truman three times ut
tered the word "asinine" at news
conference last February. Even
then. members say, they were as
surprised as any one that the sub
sequent hearings produced SO
many fireworks, upshots and off,
shoots.
The RFC story has branched
out all over the lot and no end is
in sight. Despite its extremely
complicated nature and notwith-
standing the daily difficulty of
seeing the forest for the trees,
that running story and it's ramifi-
cations were not rubbed out of the
public mind by the more spec
tacular talk, double-talk or no.
talk of Kefauver committee wit
nesses.
Whatever may be said of the
Fulbright subcommittee having a
bear-or a donkey-by the tail.
the disclosures fell over one an
other so rapidly that they almost
got out of hand. Accordingly. the
so-called non-RFC matters such
as big profits and tax savings in
surplus ship deals involving big
names in and out of Government
had to be turned over to the
super-investigating subcommittee
of the Senate Expenditures Com
mittee.
That group. headed by Senator
Hoey. Democrat. of North Caro-.
lima. traces its congressional ances-
try back to the old Truman
committee. It's latest task was
to hear charges in Mississippi that
pro-Truman Democrats dispensed
post Office and other Federal jobs
at a price.
The long-range course of the
Kefauver and Fulbright groups is
in dispute. Republicans want
both continued at full blast. Sem
ator Kefauver feels that the SUBJ
committee expose of big time, far
flung gambling and associated arts
has reached its logical end be-
cause it has aroused a spirit of
protest"
Similarly, Senator Fullbright
maintains his subcommittee has
proved its charges against RFC
which now. he urges, should be
reformed instead of abolished.
After all. those Senators insist.
the job OF an investigating COM
mittee is to find facts on which
to base recommendations for leg

Big Guns Kill
|ALot of Reds
By John RondoIph

WESTERN FRONT, Korea
Recently captured Chinese Red
medical records show that 80 to
80 per cent of the enemy hit were
victims of artillery.
Challenging the lnfantfy's right
to the traditional title Queen of
Battles" the artillery is in the
thick of the Korean war and Civ
ing a good account. It's far diff
Iferent story from that in the wars
early days.
Brig. Gen. George B. Barth. one
Iof the Army's top artillery men,
puts it this way:
What you must have on the
battlefield is power, and there are
different ways to get it. You can
get it with manpower as the Chi
nese do or you can get it with
airplanes, tanks and artillery. :.
THE Chinese don't like our
planes straflng them, but they
know this kind of attack will be-
over in few seconds. The pris-
oners We take now say they are
most afraid of heavy bombs,
napalm (jellied gasoline fire
bombs) and artillery-and they
hate the. artillery the most"
Gen. Barth, of Leayenworth.
Kans.. commands all artillery Of
one United States division. He
set up one of the biggest bonn
bardments of the war March 7
when the Allies crossed the Han
River and captured Seoul. He
directed 148 guns that fired 5000
shells in 20 minutes.
The mission of artillery is to
get the infantry forward with the
least possible casualties" Gen.
Barth explained.
But in a larger sense we also
try to break down the enemy's will
to resist. Artillery can always
reach behind his lines-sometimes
very far behind them.
THAT is why we pound, pound
every day. even when it seems
there are no targets. The Chinese
soldier at the front never knows
when the guns will search him
out. He can never relax.
Every hill we take now has
Chinese bodies on it, men killed by
our constant firing"
Last summer we sometimes
had to stretch nine batteries-54
gunS-over whole 30-mile 'front.'"
ne recalled.
But now things are different.
Ordinarily we can mass a Whole
divisions artillery on front Of
eight miles or so and We can get
at least half the guns or more on
one target. This is one of tie
main reasons we have advanced
10 miles in the last two months"
Every day now, almost as a
matter Of routine, United States

with horse-drawn transport, the
motorized infantry division. with
la pool of motor transport; the
mechanized division, which has
two regiments of motorized in
fantry and one tank regiment, to-
gether with its own motorized
artillery; the full armored divi-
sion, and, most characteristic OF
the Soviet organization, the inde-
pendent artillery division con-
trolled directly by army head
quarters.
This is the pattern of an army
designed to make the best use OF
limited numbers of highly skilled
troops forming a sharp cutting
edge and backed by a slow-moving
mass of peasant conscripts. In
Europe it would find itself opposed
to the inferior numbers of the
highly organized and articulated
Western fighting forces, mechan-
lied all the way through, and
having a far higher general
measure Of skill and initiative
than Russia or its satellites can
provide.
MVD Pattern
An important factor in the
build-up of the satellite forces is
the high proportion of security
troops included in the total. These
troops (Which in the Soviet
Union form over a quarter of the
total land forces, or over mil
lion of the four million cited re-
Gently by Mr.. Strachey) are not
intended for the front, although
