Battalion Wiped
Out In Minutes

WESTERN FRONT, KOREA,
-tDelayed) - (APA)-U. S. Ar
tillery can wipe out a communist
battalion in 20 minutes.
This is how it works:
An air observer spots a bat
talon of Chinese communist in
fantrymen (about 250D gathering
behind ridge.
In a few minutes the Reds
would launch one of their reckless
counter-attacks against Americans
fighting yard by yard up the for
ward slope of the hill.
Early in the Korean war this
would have been a crisis. 1t could
have meant another overrun po-
sition with American machine
gunners. dead beside their guns.
Or it could have meant a with
drawal or retreat. At lest the
Chinese attack could probably
have been beaten off only at a
cost of ten to 50 casualties.
But this is April, 1851.

Bugs May Get
Bre ak BY The
Defense Work

NEW YORK, K,--tPb-- Bugs may
get a break this summer from
the defense program.
Farmers are worried about the
inroadS of the defense production
upon some of the essential chem
icals that go into most insect
icides. Farmers will need more
pest-killers this year If they plant
the larger acreage the government
wants, and insecticide makers say
supplies are tight and may fall
short of meeting demands.
This may be one of the topics
tomorrow at Des Moines where
Secretary of Agriculture Brannan
is holding an emergency confer
ence with midwestern farm of
ficialS.
He wants them to agree TO plant
more acres than they now plan
to; and he wants them TO help
him convince others in the govern
ment of agriculture's critical
need for supplies being diverted in
increasing percentages to military
uses. Among items in tight supply
are sulphur, benzene, chlorine
and phenol. All are essential parts
of various insecticides, weed kill
ers, or fungusicides.
But they are also needed in
defense industries. BenZene, for
example, is one of the raw mat
terials used in making synthetic
rubber.
The agriculture department has
also told congress that cotton
farmers will need 56 million
pounds of benzene hexachloride to
combat pests this summer. But
cotton farmers say that If they
increase acreage this year by 50
per cent, as the government urges,
they'll need 65 million pounds. or
25 per cent more than they used
last year.

The air spotter in his little
plane speaks a few words into

transmitter.
Back at "Divarty"- division
artillery fire control center -
there is lightning mathematics and
hurried telephone orders.
Then, over four miles of front,
the muzzles of 54 field guns lift
and swing toward the Chinese
concentration. Some guns are on
the right, some on the left. Some
are almost at the front line, some
others nearly six miles behind
it. But Divarty controls them as
a single weapon and gives the
order to fire.
Seconds later torrent of flame
and steel breaks over the heads
of the unwarned and unsuspecting
Chinese. Every one of the 81
shells comes down on the same
spot = timed to arrive at the
same instance. This is the dead

Here's the inside story on an
all-inportant Hi-Y meeting. The
fellas elected next years officers
last week. Dick Marrah is holding
the presidents gavel; the weep

money bags is Bob Miller: Bob
Stapleton is sergeant-at-arms; and
the chaplain is Bob Wheeler Good
luck, boys!
A super de luxe Fifteenth An
nual Spring Concert was present
ed by the band and Mixed Chorus,
directed by Mr. Creighton, and
the Glee Club, directed by the
newcomer to LHS, Mrs. Race. The
golden tones floated through the
auditorium Wednesday, Thurs
day, and Friday. Dress rehearsal
came on the first of these three
nights, but the real Mccoy was
OH the last two evenings. Solos
on the Sax, trombone, piano and
violin, the brass quartet, and vocal
solos rounded the program out to
a well-balanced muSical-feSt. The
whole event was topped after the
Friday performance with the pos
ing for and swapping of pictures
of all groups. All in all it was a
Grade A-eyent. Congrats, all!
Speaking of music, we'd like TO
offer our best wishes to Dorothy
Hooking who won a competition
sponsored by the Youth Associates
of the Columbus Philharmonic Or
chestra She won a wonderful
prize (which we all think she
deserves very much) of eight
weeks scholarship at National
Music Camp this year. We're all
proud of you, Dorothy!
Last Wednesday was grade card
day. That means we have just
six more weeks of school. This is
one of the few times we're glad
TO see them.
Thursday noon found seven
seniors at Chooman's Restaurant
visiting the London Rotary Club.
Marilyn Martin was the modera-
tor of the panel discussion which
covered a large field, the effects
OF wars, inventions. medicines, etc,
on our present-day civilization.
Mr.. Keye's P o. Ders are doing
a fine job of preparing for the
future.
We'd like to present our con-
gratulations-on a silver platter
TO some LHSers whose poetry is
to be published in the National
High School Poetry Anthology
this year. We sometimes think it's
only the teenagers in other schools
who can do things like that But
we know better now!
We've decided the weatherman
doesn't like us down al London
High. It's been SO DRY lately
that neither the baseball nor the
golf team has been able TO prac-
tice, let alone play a game. How
ever, we have plan to remedy
the situation. Everyone wear
rain coat when you 60 out next
week. Then we'll have a drought!
Here's to dry weather next
week; see you then!
