U.S. Soldiers Is Best Equipped
And Best Fed, Also Most Costly

ito include French forces assigned
to Indo-C China.
Turkish experts suggested an
estimate of $500 for the Turkish
soldier. Here again it was not GER
tain what factors were excluded
to arrive at this low cost figure
However, Western observers who
have seen the rugged. hardy
Turkish soldier in the field express
amazement at the simplicity of his
food. personal equipment and
clothing.
Soviet Costs Uncertain.
AS is the case with virtually all
other information about that
country, the cost of the Russian
soldier must be considered only
the broadest manner of estimate
The figure most commonly used
in Western estimates of Russian
cost is $4,000.
That is supposed to include
food, medical service, clothing
equipment, training and other
factors.
But those who use that estimate
caution that this doesn't include
some factors peculiar to Russia,
including the use of slave labor
in support of military operations
Also, those who estimate can't de-
eide on the comparative value of
Soviet and American money.
The cost of the exterior clothing
alone of an American soldier
equipped for winter is $191.23
That includes trousers, overshoes
hood. jacket. parka, mittens and
other clothing.
The automatic rifle he carries
costs about $3.50. Many of the
weapons and other items he uses
are in addition to the cost for
the individual soldier-machine
guns costing about $4,000; mortars
at $1,000 or more; jeeps at about
ST 300. He may fight in one of the
approximate 40 tanks in his di-
vision which. together, cost up
wards OF $11 million.

beckWonh Demands
That Arna|I Act Against
Newsprint Price Rise
BY the Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May IT.
Representative Beckworth, DEM
ocrat of Texas today took time out
from his Senatorial campaign to
protest a proposed $40 a ton price
increase in Canadian newsprint.
Mr.. Beckworth is chairman of
the House Newsprint subcom-
mittee of the Interstate and For
eign Commerce Committee.
He sent an official protest to
Price Administrator Ellis Arnall
urging Mr.. Arnall to take all pos
sible measures to head of the
increase. Mr.. Beckworth also said
he's like the views Of newspaper
publishers and promised his COM
mittee would hold prompt hear
ingS.
The text of the message:
Il hope you will see that every
possible step is taken to forestall
the newsprint price increase of
$40 a ton.
Il had expected to be advised
when the Canadian representative
notified you of their intention to
increase the price. Our House
NewSprint Committee then could
have held hearings before a de-
cision was reached.
ALREADY I have learned from
several publishers that a $40 in
crease would have an extremely
serious effect on the newspapers
OF our country. I am inviting all
newspaper publishers to send me
their views.
If you are unable to obtain a
prompt reconsideration of this in
crease, our neWsprint committee
will undertake to hold hearings
forthwith. Notify me of develop
ments at Gladewater, Route O."

U. 5. 10 Help Germans
Pay for Rearming But
Aid May Be Small
By John N. Hiehtower
Associated Press Stoff Writer

The United States expects to
help West Germany meet the
costs Of rearming for the defense
Of Western Europe, officials said
yesterday. But American aid
seems unlikely to be as great or as
free-handed as many Germans
would like.
Secretary of State Acheson is
due to go to Paris this week for
final talks on arrangements for
setting up a European defense
community. Germany will be a
member of this community, and
will contribute troops to strength
en- the West against Russia.
At Bonn, Mr.. Acheson is ex-
pected to sign on May "a peace
contract" with Britain, France and
the West German government.
Shortly after. probably May 26 or
RI, he is expected to observe the
signing of a European treaty
among Italy. France, Germany
and the Low Countries.
Problems To Be Worked Out.
The agreements, which may
well revolutioniZe the European
political system, will still have to
be ratified after being signed and
many details, including such diff
f1cult problems as the cost of
American aid, still have to be
worked out.
But authorities here hope thte
notifications can be completed
next fall and that the way will
be open we'll before the end of the
year for the Germans to begin
rearming.
The initial United States con-
tribution to this formation of
German military units will be the
delivery of some military equip
ment for training purposes. It is
expected that in the first stages
Dnly enough will be required to-
enable the Germans to form and
train small military groups on
which large-scale units can later
be built.
In the long run the Germans
are expected to contribute to the
European army (Which in turn
will be part of the North Atlantic
treaty force in Europe) a total of
10 to IL divisions numbering
slightly more than $4,000 men.
One limitation in the European
Wstem is that the German total
must not be greater than the
French.
Arms Details Unsettled.
Concurrently with building up
the military force, the Germans
md their European allies will have
10 decide how much and what
types of munitions will be manu-
Iactured in Germany.
Some military planners and
apparently some State Depart
nent policymakers support the
idea that heavy military anna
ment such as tanks and Dig guns
should begin to be manufactured
N Germany. But against this is
/ strong body of opinion, at least
IN the State Department and pos
Hbly in the military. This school
Of thought holds that Germany
should contribute mainly light
weapons and supporting materials
such as military trucks because it
would not be sound strategy to
sponsor the buildup of heavy
weapons plants so close to the
Soviet front.
Financing German plant eX-
pansion may have to be shared
by the United States, although of
hciais here said they believe the
Germans could handle mucn of
Ihe financial load themselves.
Reports from Germany in recent
lays that Germans were looking
10 the United States for a ST bill
lion handout to get their rearma-
ment drive under way brought the
reaction that such a figure is fam
tastic.

Slow Down Farm Boom
BY the Assoeioted Press

The farm land boom is slow.

tenants can scrape together.
The average United States farm

machinery, equipment and live

some areas the land market has
been restricted largely to the
farmer who already owns a farm
and equipment and to the city
investor.
Land. prices started advancing
sharply after outbreak of the war
in Korea. But the upward spiral
has slowed to a snail's pace. The
department said prices rose an
average Of 2 per cent during the
four months ending March l, COM
pared with 8 per cent during the
corresponding period a year ago.
Even so, farm land prices on

House Group Fayors Bill
Ito Aid Merchant Marine
BY the Assoeioted Press

Legislation designed to encour-
age a shipbuilding and operating
program that would keep the
United States Merchant Marine
abreast of other maritime powers
was approved yesterday by the
House Merchant Marine Commit
tee.
Subject to approval of the House
itself, the bill follows mainly the
provisions of measure passed last
year by the Senate. It liberal
izes subsidy provisions Of existing
law and would make it easier for
private operators to acquire and
operate new and more modern
passenger and cargo ships.
The main difference between the
Senate measure and the House
committee bill is on tax-deferment
provisions. The Senate provided
for deferment of normal and sur
taxes on earnings Of operators put
into a reserve fund for future re-
placement and expansion con-
The House committee voted to
limit the deferment on such earn
ings to normal corporate taxes
only.
