College alumnus to arrive at that conclusion.
You can get there by simple arithmetic: the
champions of the Free World, the United
States and it's allies, would have to recruit
manpower from a combined population of
around 100000. Against them would be
arrayed the most stupendous horde ever mar
shaled by single bloc of nations for its
aggrandizement: 7500OOOOO people fed on
fire and birthstone, from the US.S.R and its
satellites.
This numerical disparity looks grim enough
on paper. But due to certain under-the- surface
features, I'd say it's even worse in fact. These
unseen chips stacked against US could be para
phrased as u the nature of the enemy abroad;
and q the lapse of nature in the US.
Seven Lean Years
WHAT do / mean by the lapse of nature"
here at home? l mean that at this very
moment when our need for men is most press
ing, our country has entered period of Seven
Lean Years in its harvest of males. The low
level of our draft pool is due to the fact that
we are now reaping our depression-era babies
The baby crops of those jobless. apple-selling
days of the '3O's were small. Result? Last
June only about 100000 able-bodied youths
reached military age. Yet our armed forces

imposed decency and compassion. His throb-
bing fury is famed to white heat by vicious
and unscrupulous lies about the United States.
He fights with rapturOus despair that
comes from q lifetime spent ON the
fringes Of death by starvation.
The Communist soldiers creed of contempt
for his own safety is only surpassed by the
wholesale disdain for life practiced by his CON-
manders There is no ant hill for which the
Reds, for all their vaunted love Of humanity,
will not pile up mountain of dead men.
Gxandstand SpluxWe
DURING the last days of the Korean conflict,
while we waited for the truce to end the
slaughter, the Communists launched grand
stand splurge in which they squandered l4000
lives to drive home propaganda objective:
by flexing their muscles they hoped to give one
last just-for-good-measure object lesson to
Syngman Rhee that he'd better forget any
ideas he might have of continuing the war
against North Korea single-handed. Our side
can't afford, nor do we have the desire or
heart. to make any such lavish gestures with
the lives of American lads.
In short this manpower differential with
which we're saddled is made more acute by
the nature of the enemy. They have no tradi-
ton for comfort and luxury at home which

could, however, conceive of situation
where women - hundreds of thousands of
them - are sent overseas into whatever the
ater the vagaries of war take our men. Under
no circumstances would they be sent up to the
front lines. But at their clerical and admins
trative tasks they might sometimes be within
window-rattle of the bursting shells, as some
of them were in my Fifth Army at Salerno and
Anzio.
Their Own Defense
DESPITE their relative distance from the
scene of battle - would advocate giving our
women draftees basic training in the handling
of pistol and carbine This would be for their
own self-defense.
On the home front it is conceivable that
most of our antiaircaft guns would be manned
by distaff artilleryists. British women served
their country in this capacity during the last
war; In case of atomic attack. women on anti
aircraft duty wouldn't be exposed to any
greater danger than the civilian population
around them.
God knows would be the first to decry
such departure from the ideals fostered
by civilized democracy. am aware that
democracy has always aspired to protect and
cushion the shock of war for its womenfolk.
But I also hold to the conviction that
democracy battling for survival can't afford
to grant immunity from the obligations of
citizenship on the grounds of gender.
In theory it may be more typical of the
American way to wait patiently for women to
volunteer. But if we can't get them any other
way - and at the peak of our imbroglio in
the Far East we had only $4,000 Wacs,

conscription may be our only answer.

verse on why our precarious dearth of men
vis-a-vis the Communist powers might justify
unprecedented measures.
Should Communism suddenly burst out at
the seams in the four corners of the earth, we
would be no match manpower-wise for the
Red Goliath. One doesn't have to be War

Twenty years ago we were in only three.
Today's cold war" commitments necessitate
the deployment of a constant force of million
men abroad - exclusive of those in Korea.
To meet even peacetime standards, we must
draft one million new CT fedglings every year
for the next decade. But population predic-
tions fall far short of this quota. The num-
Der of American youths aged 1917 to 26 avail

begin harvesting as many as million able
bodied youths every IL months.
That is what mean by the lapse of

Now we come to the nature of the enemy.
That nature, as the United Nations forces ran
into it on the shell-pocked hills Of Korea, is
such as to sharpen his effectiveness as fight

FORE AND AFT
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

If Norman Rand, local out
board driver who was 1858 Ma
tional high point driver for stock
outboards, never goes in another
James River marathon, his
friends will understand why.
A year ago he was leading the
pack in his class BU Miss Pesky
when his engine threw a prop
and Bud Seeley of Norfolk went
on to win. This year, Rand, who
drives a cab here to keep in
training, took his new boat down
to Norfolk for another try at the
gremlins on the James.
He went out for a trial run
late Saturday, somehow got lost,
then cracked up his boat in the
darkness of a strange creek.
Rand walked miles through q
swamp for help and thus ended
his second try at the 75-mile
race.
Is he ready to give up, to for
ever swear of racing? Not on
your life. If he can get squared
away in time, he is sure to be
at Solomons Island a week from
Sunday. Apparently there are no
Patuxent River gremlinS on the
lookout for a guy answering
Rand's description, because he
won there in his class last year
in a smooth-running perform
ance that wasn't matched by
any driver.
