that were used. The Chinese
Red troops, Gen. Fitch said,
were subjected to firm, hard
discipline with absolute obedi-
ence to orders.
Senator Thurmond, Demo-
crat of South Carolina, who
brought about the investigation.
questioned whether troop units
we're supplied enough informa-
ton on the dangers of COM
munism. Gen. Fitch said he
considered the information
adequate.
Most troops, the general said,
have "a sound and healthy hate
and fear of communism"
Senate investigators received
other assurances the Army is
carrying on purpoSeful pro-
grams to prepare soldiers for
any conflicts and give them
an understanding of the aims
and tactics of communism.
This came from Gen. Banks
dale Hamlet, new Vice Chief
of Staff.
This testimony brought the
inquiry back into a we'll
grooved routine after the emo
ftional visitation of Edwin A.
Walker which left the Subcom-
mittee picking up bits and
pieces and wondering what to
do about the former major gen.
erals charges against Secre-
tary of State Rusk and others.
While nothing was being
done Immediately, some sub
committee members privately
expressed diSmay at the turn
taken by the inquiry with the
Walker testimony.
Stiff Training Given
Gen. Hamlet and Gen. Fitch
emphasized that extensive
training is being given Army
personnel with the primary OBJ
jective to increase the indi-
vidual will to resist. The in
doctrination programs, both Of
ficers testified, are related to
the code of conduct which was
adopted following the Korean
War when many American
prisoners were said to have
elaborated in some way with
their Chinese captors.
Gen. Hamlet, who was
Deputy Chief of Staff for
Operations before his recent
promotion, outlined the train
ing steps from the time a SOL
der enters the Army. AS ar
example, he said that in the
25th Infantry Division sta
toned in Hawaii a realistic
training program is being car
ried on including the use 9
prisoner-of-war compound anC
treatment similar to that &C.

We were glad to see the
State Senate adopt a resolu-
ton commencing the late
State-TimeS for unbiased
news coverage, although il
was not mentioned to our
knowledge in the daily news
papers of Jackson.
The term late" is usually
used to denote a dead person
OF, thing.
We hope, for the sake OF
all Mississippians, that un.
biased news coverage is not
dead in Jackson or in Mis-
sissippi.
The people are largely de-
pendent upon the state daily
newspapers for the informa-
tlon on which we form our
opinions. This is reflected in
the type of leadership we
have in the state because we
elect the leaders.
People must have all o1
the facts in order to come to
the right conclusion on any
matter or seek the best So
luton of any problem.
If the people cannot or do
not get all the facts and
make up their minds on false
or incomplete information,
then the public welfare is
jeopardized

Der two with operations over
the county netting them a
tax bill of $37,O74.O5. South
