Officer Tells Importance
OF Tanks In Modern Warfare

Patton-like daShes by American
tanks have been few and far be-
tween in Korea. but the past year Of
fighting over the rugged terrain has
proved that tanks are essential to
an Army wherever II fights.
Colonel Sidney C. Brown. Chief
Of the Armor Branch Of the Army
Field Forces Combined Arms Sec
ton, says even an overwhelming
superiority in infantry does not
make UP for a lack OF tanks.
Korea proves this beyond .
doubt" said Colonel Brown. The
losses Of the Communists in their
attacks have been terrific. and one
reason these losses have been so
high is the fact that they no longer
have tanks working with infantry"
He recalled that when the Com
munist forces we're using tanks,
their attacks carried more punch
first early in the fighting when
United Nations forces had been driv-
en- all the way back into the Pusan
beachhead and later when the Chi
nese Communists entered the con
flict and struck south.
In recent years. the public has
associated tanks with deep penetra.
lions OF enemy liaeS-such as the
operations which characterized the
battles in Continental Europe. In
World War II in Europe. armored
units slammed forward as much as
50 miles In q single day and infan-
try followed closely behind.

@. My English class and would
be grateful for one of your fine dis
cussions of a point Of grammar we
are not sure Of. Which tense is
correct in such sentences as: HE
said that he would? will?) let us
know his decision soon"?
A. It is a matter of logic, rather
than grammar, as is the case with
most of the constructions which
lperplex us. We should learn to
overcome our awe of the bugaboo
which dwells in textbooks.
For example, in the foregoing
sentence, we are confused by the
past tense "he said," and feel that
the remainder of the sentence
should therefore be in the past
tense. But let us now quote him
and make the simple statement
thus: He will let us know his deci-
sion soon. Or, let us rearrange the
sentence thus: He will let us know
his decision soon. he said.
Now for an easy way to under
stand the rule: Statements that are
still true at the time of writing or
speaking are in the present tense

Visiting Southern California
one is impressed by the beautiful
'carob trees used to line the streets
and add beauty to the lawns.
Batonically it is known as Cera-
tonia siliqua. It has played an
important part in the life Of Cali
fornia, though it is not consider
ed important enough to interest
agriculturiSts.
The carob is a hardy member
of the legume family. 1t has
thrived through centuries of neg
lect. Being a member of the leg
ume family, it came to the at
tention of soil conservationists.
DR.. Walter Rittenhouse of San
Diego was very eager to prove the
great possibilities of growing more
food and feed on trees and de-
pending less on annual crops.
Many a domesticated animal has
discovered the nutritious carob pods.
They contain 6 per cent protein
and 40 per cent sugar. Swine have
consistently used the pods for
food and this accounts for the
|carob's other name, "swine's bread.
According to the Bible parable,
"the husks which the swine did
eat" and which the Prodigal Son
ate were carob pods. The tree
