First Mass In His Native City FATHER LOUIS ROBERTS (inset) said his first mass before a hometown congregation Sunday morning at the 10 o’clock service at St. Mary’s Star of the Sea Catholic Church. Father Joseph Maring, S.J., pastor of the church, assisted the new priest. Father Roberts was ordained and said his first mass several weeks ago in St. Augustine. He is one of three local young men who have entered the priesthood from the Key West parish in the more than 100 years of its existence. The church was packed for the service which he conducted here. His mother and a host of relatives and friends were in attendance. —Citizen Staff Photo.

Eisenhower, when awaiting inauguration as presi- dent, went to the Far East five’ months ago to appraise steps that could bring an honorable end to the war. : Since then the U. S., responding to an offer by the Communists, has resumed discussions at Pan- munjom. Last Friday Eisenhower and his State and Defense Depart- ment advisers got together to dis- Cra the latest Red truce propos- als. If they prove unacceptable, what then? Will the United Nations forces continue to stand where they are, holding a line held for two years? Or turn to an attempt to beat the enemy on the field? Or get out? Sen.

Communist strength in North Ko-| the South Kérean Army may in- rea. But would be the military’s well-known “calculated risk” in extreme form. The U. S. has nine divisions in the Far East—eight Army, one Marine. Seven are in Korea, two in Japan. There are, in addition, a few regimental combat teams. If a full-scale offensive was laid on by divisions now in the battle zone there would be only the two divisions in Japan to serve as immediately available reserves, to go into action if the. offensive encountered difficulties or large unit replacements were needed quickly. If the extra division were to be used in an amphibious oper- ation, there would be no division- strength reserve immediately in the Far East. Nor would the picture of the mobile reserve at home be bright. There are seven tactical divisions in the U. S. But only one of them, the 82nd Airborne, is believed to have anywhere near a full com- plement of men. The only other battle-ready divi- sions, five of them, are in Europe. And the rest of the Army consists of 10 training divisions—one of them to be deactivated scon— which prepare replacements. More airpower might be sent to support an offensive, although there is argument about how much should be diverted from home defense and European assignment in event of sudden war by Russia. The Air Force has about 100 wings, Europe. Plane and crew losses would increase as the battle line moved northward, coming within easy range of Red jet fighters now based in Manchuria.
