Territorial Police Force
(Ketchikan News

The plan for suppanting the present political
Territorial Highway Patrol for Territorial police is
an excellent one.
A Territorial police should be along the line OF
the "mounties" independent of political favors and
where members are screened according to their ability
and character
At the present time the Highway Patrol is under
the Jurisdiction of the Highway Engineer 1t is a
curious fact that in the present Alaska set-up the
Governor is a member and directing power of every
Territorial board This makes for an ronclad political
machine 1t is too much power to give any Gov
ernor no matter how fine an executive he might be.
With Territorial police completely independent
of political favortism it would be difficult to repeat
the recent incident between Casey Moran and his
chief.
For under the correct set-up, Territorial police
would be selected not because of party reasons, but
because of their ability regardless of party affiliations
after a proper test and examination. For any such
member to become active in politics and thus misuse
his office would make him subject to immediate dis
charge
The Territorial police should be unGer a civil
service and merit setup that outside pressure could
not be brought to bear upon the who would make
ND this force Under this system they would be able
to enforce the without fear Or favor and would
command the respect of the Alaskan people.
1t is our most sincere wish that the upcominc
legislature will consider this proposal Tor which MI
Moran has been strong advocate Wenden kay'
commemorative from the Anchorage district says he
will introduce such legislation for which we are
extremely pleased

Push-ButtOn Warfare

Error No. Ave have been too
dependent on push-hutton warfare.
We thought bombers and tanks and
rockets would win under any con-
ditions, but suddenly had to re-
vamp our strategy right on the bat
tlefront.
Error No. 5-Original lack of
heavy winter clothing, resulting in
frostbite and many amputations
Today, U. S. soldiers wear white
polar suits and felt boots.
Error No. 6-Poor intelligence
Macarthur repeatedly and categor-
ically cabled Washington that the
Chinese were bluffing and would
not enter the war. This was con-
trary to reports of central intelli-
gence. contrary to the statements
of Chinese leaders, and contrary
to the warnings of the French and
British. Later, when U. S. forces
were withdrawing, Macarthur an
nounced that Chinese forces IN ana
near Korea we're estimated at l.
100000. To which Adm. Forrest
Sherman drily commented: IF there
are that many, their supply lines
must run all the way to Shanghai
Error No. 7 was morale. In the
early days of the Korean war, U. 5.
occupation troops from Japan, sup
posedly the best-trained in the
Army, were so low in morale they
surrendered in large numbers. Some
even appeared on Communist radio
broadcasts urging surrender.
Tragic as these errors are, how
ever, they may have been blessing
in disguise. For this Korean pre-
Jude to war should give us chance
to correct our blunders before
any all-out war starts.

he had been informed, however, that
the NLRB would go ahead with the
ballot count despite the appeal.
Thomas P. Graham, Jr., regional
director of the NLRB, dismissed the
unfair-labor practices charges last
week so the ballots could be count
ed The election was conducted be-
tween June l and September 80 last

Perhaps Gen. Clay was right in his commutation,
at least technically though the decision created
something of a storm Fortunately that question be-
comes purely academic now German court of three
Judges and six jurymen sat and listened to gaunt
relics of the concentration camp at Buchenwald testify
against her They heard almost incredible stories OF
her sadsm and corruption, her JOY in the torture Of
the miserable prisoners of the camp They found her
guilty finally of melting the murder of one prisoner
melting the attempted murder of another and melting
serious injury to five others.
Frau Koch will pay the price for her cruelty now.
And at least the West will not have on its conscience
any realization that it let her escape that deserved
payment

Tragedy of this Chinese intelli-
gence estimate is that it is true
There are some notable exceptions
such as the Marines valiant fight
to Hungnam. Also, it should be
noted that our fighting spirit has
now been reused by Lieut.. Gen.
Matthew Ridgway
Apparently, the Chinese estimate
of our bravery in battle was writ
ten after the first Chinese often
sive, when the Second Division
panicked and our front fell back in
a pell-mell, 120-mile retreat. Actu-
ally, it was an inferior Chinese
force that pushed us back.
The Unsun incident referred to in
the Chinese document was an am
bush near the Yalu River, before
the first major Chinese strike, and
it probably gave encouragement to
the Chinese to pull off that strike.
1t remains a fact that the weak
nesses pointed out in the Chinese
document are the same ones which
our own intelligence reports have
shown. So the Chinese assessment,
humiliating as it may be, is fairly
accurate.

Studying Our Mistakes

However, one healthy develop
ment is that Sen Lyndon Johnson's
investigating subcommittee and the
members of the Joint Chiefs OF
Staff have been studying mis-
takes of the Korean war And they
can be summed up in the caustic
words of Bernard Baruch to the
Truman committee - We never
seem to learn from the mistakes Of
past wars. The Army command con-
veniently forgets them. The only
way our men learn to fight is by
fighting"
In more detailed form, here are
some of the errors which cost
us the most:
Error No. Failure TO prepare
for well-known Oriental and Com
munist type of warfare-namely
attacking at night, using hand
grenades, noise, and ambush tactics.
According to one Army officer
sCTzr boys were mainly city boys,
unfamiliar and often afraid OF the
night. They were not trained IN
night patrols. Many did not know
how to do such a simple thing as
drive truck in land without
hard roads"
In World War II, Gen. Walter
Kreuger, the man who bore the
brunt of the fighting for General
Macarthur, developed highly sue
cessful techniques for countering
jap infiltration. Even in the Louis
lana maneuvers with National
Guard troops and horse cavalry,
Geenral Kreuger licked to a stand
still Lieut.. Gen. Ben Lear's highly
mechanical forces by using the kind
of partisan tactics our forefathers
used against the British Redcoats.
Yet General Kreuger, though Tar
Younger than both General MacAr-
thur and Gen. George Mashall, has
not been called ont Of retirement
to develop a basic anti-guerriiia
technique. He is sitting at san
