one hour a week is not enough, that
the topics are poorly chosen, and that
many of the Instructors they are
not professional teachers-are ineffec-
tual.
I heard a lot of the pros and cons
about II and E" on a long tour of the
Army camps.
The professional soldiers have an in
difficulty. that Is, the fact that very few
draftees know why" they were drafted.
They say, "a young man should have
learned, long before he was drafted, the
reason for all this. If he has not learned
at home. in school, or in church, that
his country is threatened by the Com
muniStS-then 1t is almost too late to
start learning when he is actually in
uniform"
They point out that an infantryman,
these days. has an awful lot to cram
into his head about weapons and tactics
during the relatively short period of
basic training. He is busy man. They
get him up early in the morning and
they keep him working until late in the
afternoon and sometimes longer.
They cannot afford to take more than
one hour week. they say, for the pur-
poses of "indoctrination."
My own observations certainly tended
to confirm the assertion that it is a rare
man who understands why he had to
be brought into the Army. Many of
them, when asked the question, looked
a little startled and said, simply: why?
Because I was drafted That's the law,
that's ALL"
Ten years ago, no soldier was in any
doubt. The issue was bitterly clear. This
country had been attacked. There had
been Pearl Harbor, and that was all
the Il and E" any American needed.
But today the issues are by no means
SO clear.
There are many thoughtful and re-
sponsible men who say that we never
should have gone into Korea at all.
There are others who believe that, tao

Our Expanding Metropolis

It became evident some years ago to mer-
chants around the country that the automobile
was working very definite change in the pattern
Of life in America and that they must conform TO
this new pattern. In addition to offering an
attractive display Of merchandise, the modern
store increases patronage by furnishing the
shoppers place to park their cars.
That has been one of the important in
fuences behind the expansion in Washington,
and other urban centers. Of the big downtown
department stores into the suburbs. But some
thing else has also become evident. That is the
fact that shoppers prefer to park once, and run
all their household errands in the immediate
vicinity. This has led to the growth of shop
ping centers where all classes of merchandise
are made available by different stores in one
location.
Now comes the Hecht Company with another
sort of development in this field In opening its
fine new Virginia store in Arlington today, it is
also constructing a shopping center consisting
of some 80 additional facilities for stores which
will be leased to competitors. This is novel but
very sensible demonstration of the old theory
that competition Is the lifeblood of trade, with
the merchant assuring himself that there will
be competition by furnishing quarters for his
competitors
Within few weeks KannS will be opening a
Virginia store, not far away from the new Hecht
development. Woodward and Lothrop has &C
quired the land for suburban stores in Arlington
and Alexandria. This sort of development in
Virginia is following what has already taken
place in Maryland. It Is one of the great factors
in building our Metropolitan Area For these
centers of merchandising attract other business,
provide new jobs, furnish the means for new
homes, the incentive for new highways, new
schools; in short, all the things that go into
healthy growth of prosperous communities and
better living.

Beyond that, of course, Elizabeth, along with
her husband, has undoubtedly made a large
contribution to the cause of Anglo-American
friendship and unity. That friendship and unity,
though sometimes severely strained constitute
one OF the most important and most indispensa-

bulwark that is stronger today as a result of
her having come among us and shown how fine

ana her Prince start homeward now, she can be

esteem and warmeSt good wishes of our people.

Apropos Average Mans" forecast of
Senator Robert Taft's election to the

some of his calculations little bit on

It is my belief that before the Amer
lean people will put Mr.. Taft in the
White House a number Of things must
be cleared up by "Mr. Republican" For
one, the Senator's foreign policy still
spells isolationism.
Another factor is the issue Of Mr.

MiddIe-Aeed Stenoerophers

There are not enough higher positions
to absorb all secretary -stenographers of
middle age.
Some women do not like stenography
or secretarial work: others can't learn
it. A woman of this group may qualify
as typist or dictaphone operator, and is
usually strsng for having everything
written out in long hand.
The family woman who has lost short
hand speed and secretarial ability often
is satisfied with typing. A tipping job
with secretarial or stenographic CLASH
fication and pay would be ideal for her
However. you cannot make typist out
Of skilled stenographer: and you can't
make an experienced secretary happy by
placing her under the supervision of less
qualified personnel who treat her as an
inferior.

Servicemen's Families Hurt

Federal District Court here.
The petition, similar to the
one filed in the Hastings Court
of the City of Richmond last
summer, will be based on the
contention that the men are the
victims of systematic discrim-
ination which imposes unequal
sentences upon colored persons
convicted of rape, in that only
colored persons have been ex-
ecuted upon conviction of this
crime.
The decision to seek a remedy
in the Federal District Court
follows the refusal this week of
the United States Supreme
Court for a second time to re-
view the case, which the NAACP
has carried through state and
federal courts for nearly two
years.
The defense of the Martins
vile Seven has been conducted
by Martin A. Martin and S. w.
Tucker, NAACP lawyers Of
Richmond, who obtained re-
peated stays of execution for
the men. while fighting their
case through the courts.
