Advance Party

Several months prior to the ar rival of the main groups at Ladd and Eielson an advance party of Ninth Infantry officers and enlist- ed men reported to the Alaskan bases and made final preparations and arrangements for their north- bound parent unit. At the same time an advance party of Fourth fnfan- try personnel was at Fort Lewis laying groundwork for the Fourth 1nfantry's return to the states.
 The majority of Ninth Infantry soldiers are new not only to the land of the midnight sun but also to the United States Army. The unit, which did not have full complement at the beginning of the year, started in February to pull trainees from the various basic training camps in the United States to Fort Lewis where they were giv- en an additional 16 weeks of train- ing.

81 cents; Harrisonburg. 80 cents;

The discouraging situation in the

There has always been a con-
fiict in the Soviet Union between
advocates of a big navy and
those who consider the sea arm
should be restricted primarily
to coastal defense. Soviet army
leaders have not in general been
sympathetic to the big navy con-

version of funds and manpoWer
away from the army. Admiral
Kuznetsov during his period as
navy chief was forced to tread
"a wary path on this tricky policy
Iquestion-but he succeeded in
getting big naval appropriations
and in building up the navy's
hitting force with new cruisers
and submarines.
