Where Red Tape
Brings in Money

0NE OF THE biggest stores
" in Washington, with sales
of more than $40 million a
year. is run by the Govern
ment. This volume is attained
without benefit of dollar
days" or bargain sales. And
it is a place where red tape
brings in money.
It is the regional center Of
the Federal Supply Service, a
part of the General Services
Administration. It has only
about 125 customers-the
Government agencies which
it supplies. There are II
other such centers In the
United States.
The business Is carried on
in a seven-story building on
D street S.W. running from
Seventh to Ninth streets.
Office supplies make up a
large part of the sales-every-
thing from thumbtacks and
paper clips to electric fans
and desks. In addition, Gov
eminent hospitals and other
institutions buy about every
thing a family would buy, plus
medical and other scientific
equipment. The purchases
include furniture, clothing,
shoes, canned foods, staple
groceries (but not perishables)
and sports goods.
Millions of pencils a year
are supplied for Government
clerks. AS for the red tape,
it comes on spools, u yards to
the spool. Last year, 432 miles
of it were bought by Govern
ment agencies in this area at
a cost of $6,059.
It's use is to tie up docu-
ments; string would cut into
the paper. It was invented by
neither Democrats nor Re-
publicans, but has been used
in official business for 200
years or more. There Is no

Catawba School transportation Problem
Is Solved By Use Of Taxicab Service

AT a special Board of Education
meeting last Thursday evening, it
was agreed that the Orland Miller
Taxi Company will transport chill
dren to and from school, the move
to affect those children living be-
yond Maple Street. Pupils living
east of Maple Street have been
transported to school on the Ca
tawba bus, but that convenience
was withdrawn effective Septem-
Der 80 when it was found that the
additional students created over
crowding on the bus. Through ar
rangements with the Miller Taxi
Company, agreed upon by the
Board members, all children liv-
ing east of Maple Street will be
transported to and from school by
the cab company. The Catawba
bus will continue to pick up child
rem at the Moose Club stop.
The Board members also in
spected classrooms in the new
elementary building to determine
the type Of draperies required for
the clear glass windows. Although
most of the windows in the new
school building are of glass block
construction, it was found that a
glare is created through non-glass
block windows. Members of the
Grade School Mothers and Kin
dergarten- Club have agreed to
volunteer their services and dra-
peries will be hung to counteract
the glare from the sun through
the plain glass windows in the
classrooms.
A steam pipe, apparently broken
beneath the boys shower room,
will be inspected and repaired.
The steam pipe leakage has caus-
ed an escape of hot steam which
makes the shower floor so hot
that it is impossible to stand on
the floor. The loss of steam in
that area has made the front of
the building cool. The Board
members agreed to have this in
spected and repaired.
The purchase of three new sew
ing machines was approved, for
use in the Home Economic De-
partment
Superintendent D. D. Sims an
nounced that the total revenue
realized from the appearance of
Birch, the Magician on Tuesday,
September %, was $4,000.
Port Clinton schools have been
in session five weeks, effective
October 3.

points that should be kept in
mind.
Does the present constitution
adequately provide for the fol-
lowing: A proven court system,
proper system of check and bal
ances between our various branch
eS of government?
Is the state debt limitation ade-
quate?
Has the bill of rights stood the
test of time? Is the present meth
cd of choosing the Representa-
tives fair to all?eIs the tax limi-
tation adequate?
A complete revision of bur
State Constitution is an extremely
serious business, not to be lightly
undertaken. Nevertheless, if there
are certain reforms that cannot
be undertaken by other means, it
should be undertaken.
Conversely, however, it cannot
be justified if the ends of good
government can be served by
periodical amendment of the con-
stitution.
Regardless of the merits and
arguments for and against a
constitutional convention, no one
can nationally dissent from the
proposition and belief that the
constitution of Ohio should pro-
tect and serve all of the people
of Ohio, and all legitimate inter-
ests of the state, and not special
groups or selfish interests and
ideologies.

Ivl have already received our 1852

was that the aircraft industry in
this country was in a critical con-
dition. The major strategic bomb
ing plane on hand at the time was
the obsolescent BIG, then in the
process of being replaced by the
B-5O and other models.
Had the decision been made to
bomb Manchuria. an admittedly
costly venture, there would have
been no new B-29's to replace
those in Japan and Okinawa if and
when they were lost.
The lesson here is easy: the
nation let its aircraft industry
lapse into dangerous inactivity. 1t
takes four to seven years to develop
a fighter plane and longer than
that to develop a bomber.
Such limitation of action in a
larger conflict could prove to be
national disaster.
But the most valuable lesson to
come out of Korea was that all the
atom bombs, jet aircraft and bat
tleships in the world cannot replace
the infantryman - the man with
the gun who moves in and occupies
real estate.
The lesson has been learned in
Korea. The question is, has it been
learned at home? In Congress?
The Lesson Of the Enemy
FlRsr they called the enemy
Cooks. Marines and soldiers
soon learned that the derisive
term "gook" did not adequately
describe the well-erganized army
of North Koreans which poured
south to the perimeter.
For the Korean war gave the
United States and her United
Nations allies the first measure of
the new Red military power in the
Far East. The lesson has been a
valuable one.
Although the Air Force main
tains complete mastery of the air
over the battlefront, the enemy
also proved that no amount of
aerial attack can completely halt
determined force from advanc-
ing. Even though enemy supply
lines are blasted continuously, a
walking army can live off the land
and walk its supplies to the front
under cover of darkness.
The enemy also proved that new
and complicated weapons often
are less effective than older, SIM
pier ones. The Communists most
effective weapon was the simple

KOREA: OUR BIGGEST MILITARY LESSON
Continued fran page fae

y
son sub-machine gun - the kind
that became famous in the Stain
grad fighting. Crude by American
standards, it is easy to handle and
seldom jams.
One infantry officer said, 1T
probably can fire under water"
The finely tooled American carbmes
easily jammed with Korean dirt.
And a more subtle lesson also
was learned from the Communists
= that a mans race has nothing
to do with his ability to fight. In
this connection. Korea proved that
a non-segregated American army
is as effective as any that has
fought in any war under the Stars
and Stripes.
The Communists taught the
Air Force that even on so primi-
tive a battlefield as Korea, they
are capable of accurate and eff
cient use of antiaircraft weapons
- and they have good ones.
And in the most recent fighting,
it is obvious that the Communists
have powerful radar equipment
which can pick up and count the
number of planes which take off
from Scouts Kimpo Airport, relay
the information to the MIG fighter
bases across the Yalu. That is the
reason there is seldom surprise on
our fighter sweeps in North Korea
and why the Sabre jets almost
always are outnumbered by two
to one or more when they arrive
at their destination.
In short, Communist power in
the Far East is not only grounded
in overwhelming masses of men,
but also in the most modern sci
entific equipment, such as elec-
ironically laid antiaircraft fire,
excellent communications and ex-
tremely efficient radar operation.
WCosnbae School"
i HE United Nations air forces
have maintained their edge over
the Communist air force, even
though outnumbered - simply
because our pilots are better
trained and their combat tech
niques far superior to anything
the Communists have to offer.
But as the aerial fighting pro-
crosses, the enemy too Is becoming
better trained.
As one pilot put it, I'VE feel
as if we're running combat school
for the Communists when we go
up there"
But the most sobering lesson we
Evening star., 1952-07-06

have learned from the enemy in
Korea is that the Soviet Union as
of this moment appears to have
opened a chronological gap that
will take the United States time to
close and surpass. At present, the
US. Air Force has kept that gap
closed through tactics and training
in its pilots. They cannot keep it
closed forever.
The Lessons Applied
COLONEL (now General Mike
Michaelis, one of the outstanding
field commanders in Korea. was
raked over the Goals at one time
when he declared in effect that
I'VE spend so much time teaching
the CT what he's fighting for that
often he's not taught how to
fight"
For the Army, the lesson
most quickly learned was that
American training methods
had to be frightened up. General
Matthew Ridgway, when he took
command of the Eighth Army,
messaged the Pentagon that he
wanted no soldiers who could not
climb a Korean mountain as fast
as any native and still be ready to
fight when they got to the top.
The Marines proved the value
of tough training. 1t is now under
way wherever American troops
are stationed around the world.
The Korean war also under
lined the lesson that American
military power hits hardest when
all branches combine to deliver
the blow. The result has been that
never before has there been such
cooperation between the ground,
air and sea forces as has been de-
veloped on that embattled penin-
sula. Close-support strafing and
bombing were developed in the
last war i but the "cab rank"
attack, wherein spotter planes
and ground observers are able to
call in planes from an aerial rank
above them, never before was
practiced with such efficiency.
The Navy's bombardment of
enemy front-line positions along
both coasts, on order from the
Army, was never so extensive.
And the Naval air arm for the first
time used jet planes off carriers in
combat operations. The Navy's
blockade of the Korean coast has
been complete. Naval gunire has
interdicted the road and rail center
