Secretary of State Dulles had
enunciated the administration

Persuasive Power Desired.
This is far from being the
case" the senior military planner
declared. "It is policy of hav-
ing persuasive power to help
preserve the peace.
IF confronted by hostile ag-
gression, we do not intend to let
the enemy pick the battle condi-
tions which are best suited to
him. We are not depending ex-
clusively upon any one weapon.
or any one service, nor are we
anticipating one kind of war. In
stead. we are depending upon
the combined and varied cap
abilities of all the armed serv-
ices"
Cardinal Spellman, too, spoke
Of the grave need for strength.
To-day I stand firmly upon
that same program of prepara-

shall risk bartering our liberties
for lunacies, betraying the sacred
trust of our forefathers, becoming
slaves and serfs to the Red rulers

Taps for the buried hopes of

For too long we have looked
upon each act of Communist

a reporter. I'm glad to get it
over with" He was In the uni
form he wore as member Of
the 1st Cavalry and looked stur-
dier than he did when he left
the Far East earlier this year.
One of his attorneys said in
an interview he would claim that
the Army promised Bachelor
immunity and then went back
on its promise"
The attorney. Joel Westbrook
OF San Antonio, said Corpl.
Bachelor "is eager to clear him
self with the American people. "
. Accused Of Informing.
The corporal is charged with
collaborating with the enemy and
informing on his buddies during
his 81 months as a prisoner of
war in North Korea.
! He was one of % American
prisoners who decided to stay
with the Communists after the
Korean armistice. But he
changed his mind and came back
to the Allied side last January /.
! Attorney Westbrook said
Bachelor and the other Ameri-
cans were promised immunity by
the Army while they were in
Indian custody at Panmunjom,
Korea, last winter.

Saturday Sees Elk
Kill at Least %

WEST GLACIER-Last Satur.
day. first day of the extended oper
season on elk of both sexes W
the Flathead rivers Middle Fork
saw kill of % elk on Autumn
creek between Bear creek and the
continental divide. Another six elk
were also known to have beer
killed.
Few if any elk were taken Sun
day. The two days saw an estimat-
ed 300 hunters.
The winter open season lies
along the south boundary of Gla-
cier National Park between West
Glacier and the continental divide.
The season is open each Saturday
and Sunday between U. S. high
way No. on the south and the
park boundary on the north. The
park boundary is the Flathead
rivers Middle Fork to Java sta
ton underpass, and then the Great
Northern mainline to the contin-
entail divide. There isn't any open
area between Essex and Java
where U. S. No. 2 runs in the park.
Two days notice will be given
before the open season is to be
closed.
Idea of the two days open and
five days closed is to encourage
elk to leave Glacier where there
are too many animals, for avail
able range. A continuous ODen. sea-
son would create rifle barrage
discouraging animals to leave the
park.
