cent better or worse than a unit
of another country.
A divisions combat efficiency
killing power-depends not only
on the number of weapons it has
but also on the skill of the men
who use them, dependable COM
munications for fire direction,
ability to get the weapons to the
proper place at the proper time,
ready supply of ammunition,
maintenance, and myriad other
factors.
This means an effective combat
force must have many highly
skilled specialists who although
not actually firing a gun them
selves, are necessary for the unit
to bring its full firepower into
action on a given point at a mo-
mentS notice.
This is effective firepower-kill-
ing power-and the US. Army
infantry division has far more of
it than any similar unit in any
other army anywhere.

killing Power,
Not Firepower,
Is Aim OF Army

Editors note: Following is the
first in a series of six articles COM
pairing a US. Army combat in
fantry division with the infantry
division of the Soviet Russian
Army.
The American public has been
told that a Russian Army Infan-
try division has ten per cent more
firepoWer on man-to-man basis
than larger United States Army
infantry division.
This is true.
This statement has led many
Americans to believe that Rus
sian divisions are organized more
efficiently than American divi-
sionS.
This is not true.
The us. Army division is a
highly technical fighting machine,
and because of its organization it
is the most lethal the world ever
has seen. 1t has more killing power
than any similar combat unit ever
created.
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1953-01-09

This has been proved in Korea,
where the Reds have suffered ten
battle casualties. to our one.
= A q. s. infantry division moves
faster, gets. into action quicker,
kills more efficiently, and sustains
itself in combat longer than any
division of any other army any,
where in the world-on either
side of the Iron Curtain.
Not only does the U. S. Army
have more killing power than any
other, it also provides its soldiers
with better weapons, equipment,
clothing, good, and medical care
than any other army in the world.
High morale essential to an ef-
ficient fighting force-is main
tanned in the US. Army through
services available to no other
army. The American public would
not stand for abolition of a single
one of them.
The single word that has mis-
led many Americans is "firepow-
er."
"Firepower" is synonymous in
the minds of most Americans with
killing power.
Yet in the US. Army-which
created the word "firepower" -
there is a distinct difference.
Firepower is a yardstick used
to measure the maximum capa-
bility of weapons. 1t is not a gauge
of a fighting units efficiency.
In using firepower as a yard
stick to compare effectiveness of a
US. infantry division with that of
a foreign division, one assumes
that all weapons are employed
with full effectiveness.
Full effectiveness of every wea-
pom never has been achieved al
any one time by any division in
any army. 1t never will be. Full
effectiveness would mean absolute
accuracy of every shot fired
perfect target selection, and per-
feet concentrations of fire-with
every weapon of the division in
action and unaffected by the fire
of an enemy.
Clearly, his is impossible
Hence, firepower, in itself, is not
an accurate system of measuring
a divisions combat efficiency
There is no simple formula that
will show a combat unit of one
country to be ten, 20 or so per

Happy 70 ObIige

That was a nice gesture President Eisenhower made
when he set up committee to improve the govern
ents program for preventing job discrimination where
federal funds involved But apparently that's all 1t
was-a gesture The very first time the administration
was put to the test it folded up like circus tent
Southern bankers handling farm loans backed up with
federal unds said they resented the idea OF being told
they mustn't discriminate in employment against Negroes
or anybody else maybe u.s. too, D. NOBODY, sun,
tells southerner he can't discriminate when he wants
And so the agriculture department meekly submitted
and said to the southern bankers Youa right ahead
and discriminate as much you please. You-aH are
exempted. :.
Which presents riddle: When is anti-discr1mlna-
ton program not antidiscriminatlon program !!
Answer: When politics. e the desire for more Republl-
can support in the Solid South, makes it nexpedlent
But then perhaps this is just the Republican way OF
doing things We had glimpse of that technique right
here Arizona, under Republican chief execu-
tive Howard Pyle. He made lot of fancy gestures too,
when he was running for office Told minority groups
Indians Negroes and the ike-how much he believed IN
human rights equality and stuff like that And then
when the test came he also folded He was asked to
support very modest bill in the legislature to prevent
lob discrimination in public employment and the silence
from executive chambers eloquent than any
of his speeches Trouble that of the powerful
reactionary legislators against the BILL And Pyle
knows how to get along with powerful reactonaTy legs-
Iators He gives 'em what they want.
IF the Republicans would like suggestion from
we would suggest that the next time they write civil
rights plank they add little disclaimer like the you
see in novels and TV plays: Any resemblance between
what we say now and what do later is purely, etc.

The Phoenix Jewish news., 1953-09-11

Deborah Metz AOllOW I'LL hOo6h OiA
some of the beginnings made this
past year.
The impressively-named Nation
al Community Relations Advisory
Council, the co-ordinating body for
Jewish community relations agen-
cies, has special committee which
was set up to re-assess its work.
And that committees report puts
the American Jewish community on
a new path and a good path for
STA.
For a long time leaders have
felt that our so-called good will
activities need revaluation. 1t is all
very well, they have thought, to
invite non-Jews to speak at Jewish
affairs, or to attend meetings at
which a rabbi and a preacher urge
greater good will. But no deeply
meaningful improvement in inter-
faith relations seems to take place
as the result of such activity.
The Committee on Reassessment
of the NCRAC suggests that we ac-
centuate the positive, by working
with non-Jewish individuals and
groups toward civic and social ad-
vancement.
That seems to make sense. In
working together in behalf of aims
which we hold in common, we are
sure to acquire mutual respect and
understanding. And heaven knows
that after 300 years in which Jews
and Christians have lived side by
side in the United States, that un-
derStanding is still "a conSumma-
ton devoutly to be wished.
Perhaps this will be the year in
which fewer words and more deeds
actually bring about change for
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1953-09-11

the better In the lntertalth picture.
A FIRST" FOR for STA is the
monthly picture magazine called
"Wisdom" which is scheduled to
begin publication in December. 1t
will be the same size as Life maga-
zine and will use words and pic
lures to tell the story of Jewish
life in America.
The new magazine has the back
ing of a number of Jewish leaders.
Its editor and publisher will be
Leon Gutterman, who is best
known as author of "Our Film
Folk, nationally syndicated fea-
ture of the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency.
THE NEW AND the unusual is an
everyday occurrence in Israel,
the land about which the Christian
Science Monitors Nora E. Taylor
was writing when she said, 'If the
United States is a melting pot of
the nations, Israel is a pressure
cooker" Still, it is newsworthy that
at the start of STA the first Ameri-
can crews are arriving in Israel to
begin oil-drilling operations near
the Dead Sea.
Lapidoth-Israel Petroleum Co.
has the license, and its exclusive
drilling contractor is Kerr-McGee
Oil Industries, Inc, of Oklahoma
City.
Says Oklahoma Senator Robert S.
Kerr, president of Kerr-McGee:
1--WE are confident that oil will be
found in Israel and hope that we
can drill the country's first dis
covery."
SEGREGATION IN Phoenix
schools was on the carpet for a
long, long time before the be-
ginning of the end came this past
year with partial desegregation in
the elementary and high schools.
At last we have recognized that
we are in fact a Western COM
munity, not traditionally part of
the deep South but a territory with
a pioneering heritage to which dis
elimination and prejudice are alien.
Most Negro children no longer
need to go to so-called colored
schools, but may attend the school
in their neighborhood along with
the white children of the district.
AS long as their former schools
are open, however, they may elect
