The 155 was reserved for long

The 105 and 155 millimeter

Gently returned to The Star
after nine months in Korea
iDith the 1st Marine DiriSionJ
To the man who does the
fighting in Korea. those glow
ing tributes to United States
firepower do not have the same
high polish that they seem to
have back Stateside. It is true
that weapon for weapon the
American-produced items are
much more impressive than the
motley assortment being used
by the Communists. But some
of the fanciness in the United
States weapons sometimes gets
in the way.
In the midst Of withering fire
from the comparatively crude
weapons Of the Reds. many a
soldier in the field has found
himself wondering whether the
complicated and expensive NILS
and carbines have been worth
it all. The Russian-made "burp"
guns-cheap and sinple-more
than hold their own in combat.
Take the lightweight carbine.
once considered to be a sure
successor to the MI Garand
rifle. The carbine is carried by
lieutenants and captains, by
many non-commissioned Off
GERS, and by non-infantry troops
and men in rear areas. In the
opinion of many men who have
fought in Korea, the American
carbine is a waste of time. 1t
jams easily if it gets dusty, damp
or severely cold. And it is hard
to take apart and clean, par
ticularly in sub-Zero weather.
Even the MI, long Of range,

handicapS. It is less handy
than the "burp" gun used by
the Reds for closeup patrol
work. It also has the carbine'S
disadvantage of being compli-
Gated in the number and small
size Of its component parts.
BY contrast, the stamped-out
Russian submachine guns can be
diSasSembled with ease and are
so simple as to require only the
knowledge of how to load and
how to press the trigger. The
enemy submachine guns have a
great capacity for "Saturation"
fire, but do not have the range

rifles.

the United States has a decided
advantage. The old reliable 80

caliber Browning water-c cooled
machine gun outperforms any,
thing the enemy haS-and he
has quite a variety. The Com
munists use Russian, Chinese
and Japanese machine guns,
none of which can match the
Browning.
Likewise, the Browning auto
matte rifle is considered a
superior weapon to anything the
Reds have.
Somehow, the Thompson SUBJ
machine gun-so popular among
American soldiers and Marines
in World War lis rarely seen
in Korea. Thousands of Axis
troops in the last war learned
how deadly the spray effect of
the .45-caliber "subtommy"
can be.
United States pistols come

millimeter size, not noticeably
better than the old IS.
Chinese and North Korean
artilleristS rarely manage to get
within range Of the 155 milli-
meter batteries. but frequently
engage in duels with the los
gunners on just about equal
terms.
Speciol Weapons
In the special weapons class,
the United States 81-millimeter
and 4.2-inch mortars are excel
lent weapons, but not much
better than the enemy counter
parts. Both sides have devel-
oped the use of mortars to per-
fection. One of the big United
States headaches in the special
weapons class has been the elec-
trically fired 4.5-inch rocket of
World War II vintage.
One section of six launchers
leach launcher firing "a shells
to the Salvo) was attached to
the 1st Marine Division In Korea
last year and was seen in action
several times by the author.
Given a fire mission, the
rocket battery is towed into po-
sition by trucks, quickly set up
and wired in" to fire. The
shells are put into the tubes
which are open at both ends
and are fired by electrical i'm
pulse.
One after another, the shells
scream from the launchers, six
launchers belching projectiles at
once. The backlash throws up
great clouds of dust and the
rockets wing toward the target
propelled by jets of fame.
With the bursting power Of a
105-mm. shell and a range of
several miles. the rockets un-
doubtedly inflict fear and trem-
bling among any enemy troop
concentrations they may hit.
But are they popular with
United States troops? Emphat-
ically not. For one thing, they
travel at a comparatively low
rate of speed and can be seen
with the naked eye as they race
through the air. That, plus the
telltale cloud of dust thrown up
by the backlash brings down
swift enemy counterbattery fire.
Consequently, the rocketmen
never fire more than three rip
pies" from one locale. AS soon
as the last rocket is on its way,
the rocketmen saddle up and
move out fast. OF course, any
infantrymen dug In near the
site of a rocket barrage curse
and fume. They have to stay.
Rocket shells, in addition,
frequently are duds. Hardly a

managed a ripple" without a
dud or two. On two occasions
rockets were left in the launcher
after a salvo and exploded. Last
year the rockets were ground
ed" twice for this defect in the
Marine division.
Bozookos
United States bazookas can
and have stopped any tanks
used against American troops
thus far in Korea. But it has
been many months since an
enemy tank has come within
reach of United States infantry
men. The recoilless rifles, plen-
tiful now. likewise enjoy good
regulations among our troops,
but see only limited service.
Perhaps the greatest terror
to our men in Korea today is
the impersonal. invisible mine.
The particularly frightening
thing about a mine is that it
kills or mains friend or foe,
needing only to be stepped on
or driven over. Our friends. the
ROKs. plant vast minefields but
are Indifferent about charting
their location.
AS a result. a United States
division relieving q ROK divi-
sion on q sector of the front
frequently sends out patrols at
great peril because Of friendly
minefields which no one can
pinpoint on a map.
On one occasion, a United
States commander forced a de-
parting South Korean COM
mander to clear his own mine
fields.
Wooden Mines
Enemy mines are deadly and
everywhere. The Chinese use
wooden mines that our elec-
tronic mine-detectorS cannot
pick up. These box mines. de-
signed principally for vehicles,
need a 250-pound pressure to
explode them. Thus, any num-
ber Of troops can walk over a
box mine but the first jeep
passing over it is a dead duck.
The enemy also is a prolific
user of trip-wire BOBBY traps
and buried artillery shells.
Long after the war is over
and forgotten in most parts Of
the world. these. mines and
booby-traps probably will be
dealing out unexpected death,
grinly reminding the Korean
people of one of the blackest
periods in their country'S his
tory.

Metropolitan Scene-
Keneipp Incident Raises Question
Of Outside Work by D. c. Employees
By John W. Thompson. Jr,

Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp is an honest, consci-
entious public official.
But there were some eyebrows
raised by Capital Transit Co.
officials when one OF them re-
ceived a letter from him an
nouncing he had become a part
time sales representative for a
wire-recording company.
Capital Transit has a big
stake in the traffic rules and
regulations that are in Mr..
Keneipp's jurisdiction. He might
have picked a prospective CHI
ent with less interest in his Of
fetal actions.
Even though Mr.. Keneipp got
clearance from Engineer Com
missioner Bernard Robinson for
his project, the incident might
well suggest to the Commis-
Sioners setting up some sort of
control over the outside work
Of their employees. At present
about the only restriction on
all Of them is that they may
not receive pay from more than
one Federal source. Otherwise,
the situation breaks down into
something like this:
Civilian employes-They don't
have to tell anybody or ask
anybody about extra curricular
employment. Many of the legal,
medical and other professional
employees are engaged in some
form of private practice on the
side. This includes Commis-
SionerS F. Joseph Donohue and
Renah Camalier, both lawyers.
Police-A paragraph in the
police manual says they may
take no outside work that in
terferes with their job. But no
report is required when outside
employment is taken on. Re-
Gently the Commissioners spe-
ciflcally forbade them from be-
coming part-time cab drivers
or drivers Of sightseeing buses.
Reasons: In these occupations
they would frequently have to
deal with police; police are
considered theoretically on "a
hour a day call.
Firemen-Their newest rules
permit them to take outside en-
ployment and anything within
reason seems to be all right.
Curiously, the question whether
police or firemen should be
allowed to drive taxis or sight
seeing buses was raised by Mr..
Keneipp when a fireman applied
for a hackers license. The city
heads ruled that police could
not take such outside jobs but
did not limit f1remen.
Public school employes-They
may not engage in outside oc-
cupation during the school year
without consent of the Super
intendent of Schools. Further,
they must apply in writing.
showing that the work won't
affect the performance Of their
school jobs. During the. summer
vacation period supervision is
thought unnecessary.
There would seem to be no
valid objection to any city off,
cial, high or low, supplementing
salary with extracurricular work
SO long as his or her official posi-
ton is in no way involved. But
there should be some formal
control-perhaps along the line
of the Board Of Education han
ding of the situation. This
would at least permit the city
heads to know what their en-
ployes are doing and perhaps
share in settling questions of
propriety.

Four residents among the 800

unwilling to spell out what they
meant by national suffrage.
District spokesman George l..
Hart wanted it defined as repre-
sentation in the House, Senate
and electoral college by Con-
stitutional amendment. This
has been the goal of the Citizens

Warner of the Central Suf-

cessfully to get the "home rule

program.
Whether this language will
have any more than the neglig-
ible effect it has had in the past
remains to be seen. At least 1t
serves to keep the disenfran-
chised plight Of the District be-
fore the Nation.
In the matter of segregation,
no mention is made in the
G. o. P. platform. An effort to
include opposition to it in the
Democratic statement failed.
Only two candidates came out
specifically for an end to Segre-
cation here. They were Senator
Taft and Averell Hartman. The
views of the winners are un-
stated at this point.
1t will be interesting to see
how much attention the Eisen-
hover administration, If it wins
in November, will give to the
District G. o. P. in the matter of
local appointments. President
Truman appears to have depend
ed on sources other than the
District Democratic organiza-
ton making his nominations for
a Commissioner and recorder of
