Marshal Zhukov of the So
Wet Union has exchanged
letters with Hanson Baldwin,
the distinguished military edi-
tor Of the New York Times, on
the probable nature of another
war. and the question whether
thermonuclear weapons render
large armies obsolete.
1t is amazing how conven-
tionally soldiers and politi-
clans still think of war. The
actual wars Of the present and
the most probable wars of the
future are fought neither with
huge armies nor super-duper
weapons. They are fought by
bands. rarely in uniform, US
ing rifles. machine guns, home
made bombs. land mines, even
knives, and the strategy of
terror. They are guerrilla wars,
before which the strongest
military forces are largely
helpless.
Traditional armed forces re-
quire enormously complicated
organization. Guerrilla
fighters concentrate on disor-
ganization. 1t is always easier
to diSorganize than to organize.
Such a war was fought in
Ireland at the beginning of the
1920s. The British forces vast
ly outnumbered land could
vastly outshoot) the Sim
Feiners. But they did not know
where and whom to shoot. nor
how to tell a friend from an
enemy. British tommies met
their death under roadside
bushes. or while walking out
with a seemingly friendly girl.
The Irish forces won.
In the war between the
Greek Communists and Ma
tionalists. the National forces
enormously outnumbered the
Communists. They had heavy
foreign support and the major
ity OF the Greek population on
their side. Yet the power Of
the guerrillas to disorganize
and terrorize was such that It
took many months to clean
them up. and 1t would have
taken longer had Yugoslavia
continued to keep open her
borders for their refuge.
The Palestinian war did not
open between the Arabs and
the Jewish agency. which was
already a shadow state with an
army. and two armed bands:
The "Irgun" and the Stern
group" The war started be-
tween this shadow-state and
Great Britain. the legal man
datory power. The Jewish pop
ulation was then roughly $780,
600. The British eventually
had 100000 troops in Palestine.

Gas Firm
Adds Area
Facilities

The Washington Gas Light
Co., which serves the bulk of the
Montgomery County area, re-
ports it has over three times as
many customers now than 10
years ago.
The firms records show there
were 21,954 county residents
using gas for heating, cooking
or both in 1945. Last year the
number had risen to 71,073. The
population, meanwhile, has more
than doubled.
To meet continuing demand,
the company will spend about
$28 million expanding its system
next year. A further increase in
customers of about one-third is
expected by 1860.
Building during the last 10
years has resulted in an increase
Iof the gas company's capital in
vestment from SAG million to
$103 million.
