It he outstanding impression
which energies (from KOrea) is the

is possible for so many Americans
to forget that the purpose of this
bloody conflict. this daring, if not
reckless, military adventure on the
other side of the world, was laun-
ched not merely to repel the North
Korean invader, but to unite the
entire peninsula Of Korea under
democratic rule.
Let's not forget that we can lose

the charges on which approx

Comments from some of the ca
diets involved indicate that the prac-
tise of cheating in exams is nothing
new, that it has been going on for
twelve years, that over 100 of the
June graduating class were equally
guilty, and that over 200 more men,
bers of the present cadet corps,
who are also guilty. saved their
skins by denying their guilt under
oath.

India Imports Food

NEW DELHI LIP India has
contracted to import a little over
100000 tons of foodgrains this
year. This does not include the pro-
posed loan for 2yO0G 900 tons Of
wheat from the United States, the
Russian 100000 tons and the Chi
nese grain deals yet to be negotiat-
eed.
OF the quantity contracted, the
United States tops the list of wheat
and milo suppIiers, and Burma and
Thailand of rice. From the total
100000 tons Of wheat, the U. S.
alone will send 1,141,50O tons.

Upshot of the Congressional up
roar is the virtual certainty of
thOrOugh-gOing investigation by
both House and Senate.
Our own feeling in the matter
is that the ninety cadets are men
enough to- take their medicine, es-
pecially since they admitted their

lacked the courage to do so. And
we believe they should be disci-
plined, for the benefit of cadets yet

that the administration and faculty
of West Point are respOnsible-and
due for an Overhauling. But not

ty-nOur week law, the real eS-
tate and insurance Offices tried to make both ends
meet" by closing on Saturdays This resulted in
enabling the Office clerks to have more time to
themselves; but let us look at the result to the
other parties involved
This closing of the real estate Office prevented
my friend from renting a cottage because he
could come down to look at cottages only during
weekend. The next two week-ends were cold and
rainy. This caused him to give up renting any cot
tage this season. l find this caused loss of work
to several different trades needed to be employed
for opening up vacant cottages
WHY LIVING COSTS ARE HIGH
Whether our sympathies are with these Office
employers or the clerks, the fact is that everyone
involved loses by such nonsense. The clerks have
no more money to take home; the real estate offices
lose commissions; the cottage owners lose rents
and the merchants lose customers. Higher wages
may be deserved; but they should not be followed
by shorter or fewer working hours which result in
less business and higher prices Certainly, this in
hation balloon is bound to collapse sometime.
The plan of keeping an Office or store open fewer
hours in order to keep costs down is bad for the
nation as whole. Merchants are the bOttleneck of
business, The fewer hours Office or store is open,
the less it sells; the less it sells, the less it buys
from the factories. AS retail sales decline the fac
tories are Obliged to lay of employees This unem-
ployment results in less purchasing power and so

OUR ARMY IN KOREA

Everybody has read descriptions of the
fighting in Korea; and appraisals Of the quail
lty Of the present American Army as con-
trasted with. that of the Chinese. But there
has been a lack of frst-hand accounts by
men with authoritative military back
grounds. That lack is brilliantly remedied in
the August issue of Harper's magazine by
Colonel S. L. A. Marshall, a distinguished
student and historian of warfare Colonel
Marshall's article is happily entitled "Our
Army in KOrea-The Best Yet" and is an
adaptation of a series Of reports which first
appeared in the Detroit News
Korea is almost incredibly bleak and diff
fcult. Colonel Marshall quotes a CT saying
which runs, God got tired when He was
making the world. Hence Korea" The wea-
Their is vile and there are many precipitous
heights. Colonel Marshall writes, Eighty
per. cent Of the heavy fighting is done uphill.
IL has to be done that way, for the enemy
uses the high ground to interdict with auto
matte fire our advance along the low ground.

The sudden death of William F. Metten
in Wilmington last Sunday morning was a
shock to the scores of Delaware newspaper
men who knew and loved him. Since early
boyhOOd we were privileged to know Bill
Metten. His advice to me was freely given
and gratefully accepted when as a young
man not yet turned twenty-one took over
the management of the Milford Chronicle.
From that time until the day of his death
we were friends. 1t was Bill Metten more
than any other individual who kept the Del
marva Press Association alive and active
through the years. It was he, and others of
the old school, who cemented the cordial
relations which have existed, and still exist,
between the weekly newspaper publishers
Of Delaware and the Wilmington newspaper
groups. Metten knew Delaware and Della
Wareans. He knew their likes and dislikes,
their hopes and aspirations, their fear of
eventual domination of their public affairs
BY Wilmingtonians who do not, in many In
stances, understand their rural neighbOrs.
When he retired from active business four
years ago, Delaware publishing suffered a
loss. This loss is intensified with his sud
den death. We have lost a close personal
friend-and Delaware has lost valuable
cltizen-one whom our State can ill-affOrd
to lose

Two 1een-Agers Held Here
In Sioninq Death Of Man

Two teen-agers were held re-
sponsible for the death Of a ston-
ing victim and O third was released
by a coroner's jury yesterday.
The two colored boys, both IA,
we're held for juvenile court action,
according to police. A 13-year-old
boy was freed because testimony
lat the inquest showed he had left
the scene before the assault took
place.
The victim was William r. Selba,
q, of $50 M street Sc, an unem-
|ployed mechanic and the father of
seven shildren. He was found
lying in a vacant lot at Fifteenth
and L streets Sc, the night OF
June 10.
He was treated at Gallinger for
ia small cut over the left ear and
then charged at No. 4 precinct with
drunkenness. A short time later he
was returned to the hospital and
further examination showed a
small skull fracture near the cut.
An infection developed in the
brain lining and caused the
mechanics death Friday night,
according to Coroner A. Mac
Gruder Mcdonald.
Police said that according to
witnesses Mr.. Selba and some other
men were picking green's at the
southeast address and asked the
colored boys to help them. An
argument followed, whereupon
the youths threw stones at him.
