Operation StronqIe'

It may be that Marine Commandant Lemuel
c. Shepherd used too-strong language in giving
his opinion of Operation Strangle." He called
it "fzzle." But, from what has happened in
Korea lately, it would seem that the Air Force
was unduy optimistic in naming its effort to
choke off Communist supply lines in the war
zone It has become painfully evident to our
troops on the flaming battlefront that the Reds
supply lines have not been strangled very effec-
lively, despite the persistent and courageous
raids of our flyers.
General Shepherd, just back from an inspec-
tion visit to Korea, reiterated the criticism which
Marines at the front had voiced during the
height Of the "Strangle" operations. This was
that too much attention was being paid by the
Air Force to 'interdiction," or long-range sorties
intended to cut off Red reinforcements and too
little to tactical air." or close support of our
infantry units. This is an old bone of conten-
ton between the Air Force and the ground forces,
including the Army as well as Marines. AS
result of such criticism the Air Force has been
laying greater emphasis on tactical air In its
training programs.
Severing supply lines in such rugged coun-
try as Korea is not an easy task, even II our Air
Force had enough strength there to saturate all
of the enemy-h territory with bombs and
rockets saturation bombing during World
War II in Germany did lot of damage, but,
as the Strategic Bombing survey later disclosed,
the Nazis were able to continue their war effort
very successfully-until the Normandy invasion
The findings did not warrant dropping of strate-
gic bombing and concentration on tactical air,
however. The most desirable setup would be to
have enough strategic and tactical aircraft to hit
the enemy behind the lines and at the front
simultaneously. Lacking such strength, the best
that the Air Force can do is to divide it's efforts
This means that neither type of aerial attack
can be waged as effectively as the Air Force
would like to wage it. The real question raised
by General Shepherds remarks is whether too
much time and effort have been devoted to a
strangling program that failed to prevent the
Reds from achieving formidable buildup Of
their forces during the truce talks. That is q
problem for the Joint Chiefs of Staff to con-
slider, taking into account not only the view
points of the Marines and the Army but of the
Air Force.

Difficult Monpower Study

It is not surprising that Defense Secretary
Lovett has had difficulty in carrying out con-
gressional instructions for sweeping study of
military manpower by an outside committee of
distinguished citizens. Manpower utilization Is
hot potato in today's politically surcharged at
mosphere 1t involves the old question of whether
too many officers and men are "chair-borne,"
and this, in turn, bears on the draft quotas to
be allotted in the months to come. Mr.. Lovett
disclosed that some citizens who might be qualified
for the study project fear that they might be-
come the target for headline e-huntng politicians.
The news that David Sarnoff, chairman of
the board of the Radio Corporation of America,
has been prevailed upon to head a. special COM
nittee of inquiry into manpower practices is
encouraging. Mr.. Sarnoff is familiar with mill
tary manpower problems a result of his service
in World War II as brigader general in the Sig
nal Corps of the Army. His leadership in the i'm
portant study will assure thorough, business
like investigation of the type desired by the
Senate Preparedness Committee. The task of
completing membership of the study group un-
doubtedy will be made easier by Mr.. Sarnoh's
acceptance of the Craftsmanship.
With the size of our military forces in the
Immediate future due to be considered at the
forthcoming session of Congress, either by ap
preparation committees, military committees or
special groups such as that of Senator Lyndon
johnson, the need Tor authoritative ADVICE on
manpower needs of the defense branches will be
acute The citizens commission will have power
to inquire into every phase of personnel policies
and procedures of the Army, Navy and Air
Force, with a view to determining whether, as
has often been charged, there is manpower waste
at the Pentagon and in the field.
To Justify Army Secretary PAGES recent esti-
mate of continued heavy manpower requirements
in the foreseeable future, the Pentagon must be
prepared to show that it is making the best pos
sible use of the men already in uniform Con-
gress is more likely to approve the current and
future manpower programs if such showing
can be made. Presumably the new commission
will have great deal of influence in shaping
the draft program in the months and years
Immediately ahead.

On throwing Eggs

Youthful ebullience may account for such
things as the mobbing of General Eisenhower by
hundreds of Harvard students, many of them
apparently his partisans. But the characters
who have tossed eggs at President Truman and
Governor Stevenson-like the character who
hit Wendell Wilkie with tomato in 194o-seem

Compulsory Arbitration

Compulsory arbitration to prevent
strikes in essential industries would ap-
pear to be either infringement on the

unconstitutional delegation of the power
Of Congress to an agency which would
thus be empowered to legislate wages,
hours and working conditions as was
NRA. This does not seem to be q cor

Dumb or Dishonest?

- ~0bh~ W ~sSssS"~SSs
The daily harangue by contenders
Stevenson and Eisenhower Is O rather
discouraging thing to the average parson
interested in the future Of America.
Each man has placed himself squarely
in the position Of giving the people a
selection of voting for an tgnoramuS or
prevaricator. Each has personally la
beled himself one or the other.
Mr.. Stevenson has said, among other
things, that Mr.. Eisenhower has been
completely taken over by the Old Guard
Republicans and now dances to Mr..
Taft's tune. If MIR. Stevenson honestly
believes that. then he is an ignoramus.
II he does not believe it in his heart.
then he is trifling with the truth. In
either event, he Is one or the other,
and his stand Is re-emphasized dozen
times a week.
Gen. Ike Is in exactly the some posi-
ton. II he believes half Of the things
publicly stated about Mr.. Stevenson, then
he too must be placed In the ignorant
category. If he doesn't believe them
and yet continues his daily barrage.
then he too is dabbler with the truth.
In preconvention days each would
probably have described the other as in
telligent, fortnight and courageous; and
actually the descriptions would have
more nearly characterized each than
the current designations. The quest for
high Office does peculiar things to
mans nature.
The average person interested in the
future welfare Of this country might
also think Of this. -Four years ago when
MIR. Truman won office on his own, the
dollar bought $1.10 worth Of Canadian
goods and services. After four years of
brilliant Truman leadership, the dollar
now buys 95 cents worth Of Canadian
goods. Mr.. Truman would call this pros
perity and progress under Democratic
leadership. Four more years Of the same
kind Of progress and the Canadians
probably won't take our dollar at all. It
provides some food for thought.

@. Why is cloth never woven entirely
of camel's hair?-R. e.
A. There is 100 per cent camel's hair
fabric manufactured. However, camel
fiber is slippery. and is therefore usually
blended with wool. about IS per cent
camel's hair to Is per cent wool giving
the desired finish. In 100 per cent camel's

used. resulting in higher cost of spinning
and labor in general than with q blended

interchangeable Units Suit the Students Room
By Gladys Miller

School days are here again and
rooms, as well as minds. must be
made ready for study. Some Of
these rooms will be in homes. 9TH
ers will be in dormitories. soror-
tiles. fraternities and boarding
houses. In nearly every instance
something will have to be added
to room furnishings to make
rooms individual and presentable.
The average dormitory through
out the country provides q bed, a
chest of drawers. a table desk and
a straight chair. The new student
must add curtains. an easy chair,
rug, bedding 0ncluding a bed
spread lamps and any decorative
accessories deemed essential. It
is advisable also to examine the
mattresses and springs.
College budgets are never large
at best. and when the college ex-
ecutive board chooses between re-
furnishing the rooms or hiring a
chemistry teacher. the teacher
usually wins. Although education
is Of real Importance. the health
Of growing boys and girls is Of
major Importance and where and
how they sleep can help or harm
their health.
Alert to the functional demands
of limited space and architectural
|peculiarities Of contemporary small
houses and apartments. one de-
signer has planned units that are
interchangeable. Special movable
compartmentS-or deck units
make possible an astonishing va
riety in smart arrangement.
The illustrated setting is planned
for studio or one-room apartment
and is certainly effective. A single
cabinet bed-minus its footboard-
is used as . couch. The head
board opens to store pillows and
blankets. Generous. too. is the
storage space behind doors flank
ing the center panel Of drawers in
the triple cabinet dresser.
The sculptured wrought iron
drawer pulls and ferrules Of the
dresser are striking contrast to the

honey blond finish Of the sturdy
birch furniture.
The dramatic effect is height
ened by the wrought-iron wall
candelabra over the couch (cov-
cred in black and white check ma
teriaD and the wrought-iron book
holder. the cutouts from wallpaper.
The latter offer novel substitutes
for pictures or q mirror over the
triple cabinet dresser.
