The National Guard is the back
bone Of Americas def ensiv
strength. Captain Julian Bradshaw.
Of COMPANY G, 18th Infantry Regi-
ment. told the Farmville Chamber
of Commerce Monday night.
The civilian-soldier fulfills his
military obligation while pursuing
his regular civilian life. In time of
stress he may be called for local
and state service and in time of
war is the cadre for expansion of
the national defense
Tracing the long and outstanding
history Of Farmville's Company G
and the ll6th Infantry Regiment of
which it is part, he said the motto
Ever Forward" was living SYM
Dol of the Regiment which in all its
history has never given ground nor
failed to take ground as ordered
Traces History
Beginning in 1886 as the state
militia with the 182nd Infantry of
Massachusetts, the National Guard
was officially so named in 1924 in
honor of the French General La
fayette, a Revolutionary hero and
friend of General George Washing
ton and other patriots. In 1908 all
state militia became the National
Guard
The 1l6th Infantry has fought in
four wars with considerable distinc-
ton. During the War Between the
States it was dubbed the StoneWall
Brigade. because of its logged
valor and determination 1t has par
ticipated in many of the memor
able engagements in the Spanish
American War. World War l, and
World War H. Notable was the
storming of Omaha Beaches and
subsequent C a p ure of st. Lo,
France. in World War IL
In addition the Company has
served the state in protection of
property, and other state functions.
It stands ever ready to respond to
the call of the governor or mayor
in times of peace and the President
in times of national emergency.
The company can be modified
Within an hour. he said
Status Today
More than 400 men have received
training in Company G during the
past ten years. since its reorgani-
zation in l945. Military training is
complete in the National Guard dur
ing the training period of several
years when weekly drills are held
and tWo-weeks intensive training at
annual summer camp.
The Company is composed Of IS
men and officers, one of the largest
companies in the regiment. It's full
complement would be 100 men
Every man between the ages of 10
and IS has a military duty and res
possibility. he said Three plans are
now open to them in dlscharging
this duty:
First. enlistment in the regular
service for a period Of five years
Second. two years active duty in
the service. with three years in the
active reserve, and one year in the
standby reserve.
Third. open to young men not
older than 10 IL years is the Ma
tional Guard, in which he must
serve until age Is years. or, a
period of six months in active duty
and IL years in the active re-
serve. Active reserve requires con
nection with unit of training such
as Company G.

Parkway Progress

The new Federal budget makes 1t
certain that park development and land
buying under the Capper- Cramton pro-
gram will be carried on in the immediate
future, as usual This Is reassuring to
residents of the Washington Metropolitan
Area who had been disturbed by a pre-
vious move in the Budget Bureau to
abandon the program in the interest Of
economy. More than SO million Is set
aside in the budget for park and parkway
improvements in the District and nearby
communities.
The land buying would clear the way
for park extensions in Maryland and Vir-
ginia, including rights Of way for the
George Washington Memorial Parkway.
A total of SIS million would be used to
acquire land in Fairfax County for an
other link of the parkway and to extend
stream-valley parks in Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties. While the
right-of-way buying for the parkway pro-
ceeds on the Virginia side of the Potomac
River, actual construction of the Mary
land stretch Of the parkway would be
going on between the District line and

Strength for Tomorrow

In a country where bigneSs Is almost
commonplace, one still must be impressed
by the vastnesS of American industrys
plans for expansion. General Motors, the
largest manufacturing enterprise in the
world, has earmarked 81 billion for capital
expenditures this year-65 per cent higher
than It's plant investment in 1855. The
steel industry, with capacity more than
double that of any other nation, will pour
$1.2 billion into modernization and new
plants this year as part of three-year,
$3-billion program. Shortly before the
year end, the Bell Telephone System an
nounced that 50 billion would be spent
for similar purposes in 1856 and Standard
OIL of New Jersey disclosed $l.2-billion
program recent trade magazine survey
indicated that capital investment for 1856
will total 1894 billion-a new record.
These plans have significance that
is greater than the dollar statistics. They
reflect, first Of all, confidence in the
future that is based upon hardheaded
industrial judgment The arrangements
of these giant corporations and Of the
many smaller ones that are parties to the
overall expansion program, expect these
capital investments to return profits.
Their decisions to commit billions Of dol
lars are not being made lightly or for
other than what they consider to be
sound business reasons. In turn, invest
ment Of this magnitude makes its own
substantial contribution to the national
economy by requiring materials and serv-
ices that create high employment. And
finally, In a period of cold war, one OF
the strongest bulwarks Of our national
security rests in our industrial capacity
not only in its sheer size but in efficiency
that can be attained only through the
best and most modern facilities. These
are among the reasons why industry's
plans are important and reassuring to
the Nation as a whole.

Mr.. Benson's 'Boner'

Those anguished cries that are ring
Ing in the ears of Ezra Taft Benson come,
for the most part, from his political
enemies. He may be able to defend him
self against them. What he really needs
is some one to protect him from his
friends, or, rather, his assistants.
The blooper which Mr.. Benson pulled
in the letter to John Fischer, of Harper's,
is of monumental proportions. But this
Is not the first time that his SubordinateS
have put him in the soup. It was only
last summer that Mr.. Benson, finally con-
Tossing error, disengaged himself from
the embarrassing Wolf Ladejinsky affair.
And now comes the pleasant little note
putting an excellent" label on the Fischer
article, which equates the farmer with a
hog that has his jowls firmly planted in
the trough.
Now that the fat is. in the fire, Mr..
Benson has not tried to evade the ulti-
mate responsibility for the letter that
went out over his signature. This is to
his credit. And, of course, he would never
knowingly indorse the Fischer views. Not
even Senator Humphrey will be able to
make the farmers believe to the contrary.
The fact remains however, that
something is very, very wrong when a
boner like this can be pulled Perhaps
1t would be good idea for members OF
the Eisenhower Cabinet to shun magazine
articles like the plague. Or maybe they
ought to post signs in every office which
would say: Read! Read Read! Ger
tainly, both Mr.. Dulles and Mr.. Benson
would be much happier today if they, or
some one in their departments, had taken
the trouble to do little reading before,
rather than after, the roof fell H.

Cabin. John. Both extensions Of the
memorial highway would aim toward a
connection across the river by way of a
proposed new bridge at Cabin John. The
parkway on both sides of the river would
attain increased Importance If the Gen.
trail Intelligence Agency finally builds its
new home near Langley. Virginia.
Regardless Of the CHA decision, how
ever, the parkway program ought to be
carried to a conclusion. This would mean
ultimate extension of the riverside drive
to Great Falls, with another bridge link
ing the Maryland and Virginia portions
of the parkway. 1t would be exceedingly
shortSighted to abandon the Capper-
Cramton program before this long
planned parkway is completed.
