Wednesday, September 6, 1950 KOREA AND GERMANY It has been the general assumption of most Am- ericans that Germany should not be rearmed. On this subject the Cincinnati Enquirer says they believiel We should Tiot take the risk of giving weapons and equipment to a people whose record of aggressionj for 30,years is so bad. And there is a further argu- ment ‘in the undeniable risk that we might be double- crossed, and see a rearmed Germany also become unified and ‘aligned with Russia. Certainly there is an | influeg n’l;mnon in Western Germany campaigning '-\uml far'a Soviet alliance. YULt.he grim fact remains that the democracies of Wifiwm Europe simply do not have the militdry forces to stop a Soviet attack. There is no point short of the Pyrenees at which we can be sure of checking the onrush of Soviet armored forces. Even after the ubstantial rearmament of France, Belguim, Holland, ihe Washingion ) see to that Ju six months, in advance, $7.50; | confer a favor if they will promptly Dotify have ! the gentleman fi« st make Ilist of the approoriations they | the military man power to provide a defense in depth, {from the Elbe westward to the Rhine—if Chancellor Adenauer’s government is allowed to establish an army Our bitter experience in Korea may give us the clue to a policy.

In Germany, a similar wise powerful army velopment of a modest army, force pattern evident. In Germany, the Soviet Union has created a masquerading as a police force!’ So far, the Western Allies have allowed the Adenauer government no force whatever, much less a compar- able force. And yet we and the British and French have only token forces of our own in West Germany forces that could do nothing more than retreat in if a full- attack came. a is Eastern powerful army, good order, Regarding Terris Moore fe (Ketchikan News) One always likes to meet men holding responsible positions. and get first-hand impressions. Terris Moore, head of the University of Alaska Ycalled on us Saturday. He is on his way home to Fairbanks from a vacation trip to his former home Im the States. He conferred with Walter T. Stuart, { member of the Board of Regents, while in Ketchikan Both Mr. Moore and his wife are plane pilots; They have two teen-age children, a boy and a girl What impressed us about Mr. Mopre is an easy conversational manner and & idividtal \uw:ly free ' of pretenses, although he is xccn;\m?ed as a foremost educator. 3 Mr. Moore is intensely 1nte're=tod in everything | American and also in the growth of Alaska. We get | the impression that he puts ordinary American’ citi- zenship ahead of everything else, and that under his tuition democracy of action for arriving at' 'a goal | will come ahead of pedagoguery. We expect to ~e¢ some good results come out of the training of stuasats at the University of Alaska, and feel that the Terri- tory was fortunate to secure a man of the calibre of Mr. Moore. Yes, it is refreshing indeed, to meet an educator witn the vlewpoint of Mr. Moore. 12 ABOVE NORMALS out a are| ym Missouri me Merry-Go-Round /Continued from Page One) sumnk‘r Minnésota, “4nd they are getting ready} to go overseas in a Marine divisién.” Note—as a general practice, Ma- yines ‘are not supposed to be ship- ped averseas without: at, least fcur montBs traihing, In the present confugion, ursfil?( green reserfists afi‘b‘?& SRS the battle-seasoned veterans. - —— Shrouded Statues Attorney General Howard Mc- Grath, once a senator from Rhode strolled up to his old haunts itol #nd stared inquiringly +t the white shrouds draped over the statues outside the Senate chamber during its repairs. “What's happened since I left here, Harley?” the attorney general nsked of West Virginia's Senator Kilgore. “Has the Ku Klux Klan taken over?” Quiet Uapmet Member Oscar Chapman has now been Secretary of the Interior nine months, however, Chapman has put across more in his quiet way than dozens of otkss, Bagk in the fi'lyl of Nebraska's George Norris, headlines flared over the put;bc ys, priyate power con- And only last year, an- er reclamation debate for a time prevemted reclamation com- nissibner Mike Strauss from draw- ing his salary Buf last month, though obscure by war news, Secretary Chapn quietly reversed the big utility lo by in the Senate and won ou* on {he crux of the power debate vhether the government shall have the right to distribute p from s own dams, the rower over to companies o be distribut Two intere: shis story.

The score or more of entries in the previous day's baby show had given the judges a difficult time—all seven winners were 96 per cent perfect or better.

Is it considered proper to sip coffee or tea at the dinner table fo¥ the purpose of washing down your food? A. Never. One should never take so great a quantity of food into the mouth as to necessitate “washing it down.” Q. Is it all right for two women to shake hands when introduced? A. This isn't necessary, but it is perfectly proper and especially if they are sincere in their pleasure over the meeting. | LOOK and LEARN ¥ ¢ conpon e ] 1.
