LeMAE told .ms Th6rsday

George LeMay snapped angrily
at this statement of Barker's re-

existed elsewhere than in the
imagination Of a policeman eager
for publicity"
We have not talked with Barker

KOREA: OUR BIGGEST MILITARY LESSON
Continued from page t0elee

of the east coastal town of Won
san for more than year.
And of longer-range importance,
the Navy has been able to refine
and develop its mobile supply
system, making for more rapid
movement of supplies and render
ing our Pacific feet completely
self-sustaining. This is of para
mount importance in case a
major blockade of the Asian
coast becomes necessary.
But perhaps the most impor-
tant development - both for the
Air Forces and the infantry is
the development in Korea of new
uses for the long-ignored helicop-
ter.
Its use in rescuing men from be-
hind enemy lines and from the sea
has been unprecedented. AS a
flying ambulance, it has saved
countless lives by quick ferrying
of casualties to the rear.
And finally it became a combat
aircraft, carrying Marines behind
the enemy to capture a mountain
peak without having to climb the
mountain.
The Korean war has been
fought without two of Americas
most popular weapons - all-out
strategic attack from the air, and
the atomic bomb. There were
valid reasons for Withholding both.
It was decided that extension of
the bombing program into Man.

when he ordered the North
Koreans across the 38th Parallel
in June, 1850.
For the Korean war aroused
the most powerful nation in the
world to a sense of its own weak
ness.
Restating these mistakes shows
how they are interrelated:
I. Our policy-makers concen-
trated too heavily on global de-
fense and the atom bomb.
z. Our infantrymen had forgot
ten how to walk and lacked tough
combat training.
3. Some of the Ar1ny's finely
fooled weapons were too special
lied for all-purpose fighting.
4. Our pilots few into action in
planes designed more for training
safety than combat performance.
s. Our aircraft industry had
fallen behind Russian aviation in
the output ofhighly maneuverable
jet fighters.
6. We made the classic military
error of Understanding the
enemy.
But over and above these les
sons, the Korean war taught that
in this modern world, peace is only
preservable through strength, and
that if we value freedom. justice
and the dignity of the individual,
we must be willing ard able to
defend them.
The men who have suffered and
died in Korea will not have given
their lives uselessly if we remem-'
Der what it has cost so much to
learn. The End

while the nation was unprepared to
fight one and while the critical
condition of the US. aircraft in
dustry could not replenish losses
incurred in such a bombing pro-
gram.
No Targets
REGARDING the atomic bomb,
the sparsely settled and noun
famous terrain of Korea simply
offers no targets worthy of this
weapon. Although tactical atomic
weapons now are in development,
to use such weapons in Korea
would supply the enemy and his
allies with valuable intelligence of
our progress. Also it is felt that we
do not presently have enough
fashionable materials stockpiled to
waste any.
And finally, the reaction of the
Oriental peoples throughout the
Far East was a factor in with
holding the atomic bomb. 1t was
feared that such mass destruction
might forever ALLEVIATE those whom
we some day hope to draw out of
the Communist camp.
The Korean war, which started
out with the unfortunate name of
a United Nations police action"
developed into what history may
record as a most fortunate trum-
pet call of alarm for the free ma
tions of the world. History may

WORKERS FIND BUNDLE OF DYNAMITE IN OLD PLUME

Work on the sewer system is progressing rapidly. Ii is now done from Railroad and Fifth, up Seventh, and past Fourth Ave nue on Jefferson.
 The diggers are uncovering history of Jefferson, inasmuch as it follows the oldtime Hume that diverted Lowell Creek through the town during flood times be- fore the diversion dam and tun- nel were built in Lowell Canyon.
 A mystery was uncovered Wednesday when workers found a bundle of 24 sticks of dyna- mite. The fuse had burned al- most to the point of explosion. The cOrroded condition of the primer showed the dynamite to have been in the ground for many years. Ii was found tucked under the old Hume, just south of the Legion Club Building. No one so far has been able to un- tangle the mystery. Did someone in the past make an attempt to destroy the Hume through mal- ice, or perhaps to release a stop page caused by flood?
 The Hume has been disused since 1887, and was gradually filled in. Jefferson Street was filled and opened two years ago and is now an important cross town thoroughfare. Bits of his tory are to be found in the debris uncovered by the steam shovel, hoWever-bits of automobiles, kitchen utensils, and other ar ticles.
