‘Billions for Defense’ M
. Dbiitions for Detense Must
Be Balanced, Says Nourse
BY PETER EDSON
; NEA Washington Correspondent,
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —Efforts to hack a
billion dollars off the $15,000,000,000 U, S, defense
budget, togetner with congressional reluctance to
take up the $1,500,000,000 program of military as
sistance for Europe, raise an old question. It is
how much the United States can afford to spend
on preparedness in time of peace.
Chairman Edwin G. Ncurse of the President's
Council of Economic Advisers analyzed this ques=
tion during & recent Joint Armed Services Orien=
tation Course for civilian industrial leaders and
the press. What he tried to do was define the bal
ance between unilitary and civilian points of view,
Military planners semetimes think that the
armed services should have first call on all U. S.
resources, ‘Civiliai, economists think principally of
providing eustomers with the greatest possibie
volume of goods and services. To them nrlitary
security is secondary,
The old idea that an army travels on its stom
aca must now be expanded, says Dr. Nourse, It
must now include the idea thet the armed services
travel on the national economic machine,
After V-J Day, everyone looked for peace and
reauced spending for war, But in March, 1948,
President Truman gave Congress the bad news
that $3,000,000,000 more would be needed to bols
ter national defense, The result was that a down=-
ward trend in prices was immediately reversed, [t
became a new burst of inflation. By early fall it
had carried wholesale and retail prices to new
peaks of inflation.
SAW NEW CONTROLS NEC..SSARY
Dr. Nourse says he then came to the conclusion
that this exira defense effort would so aggravate
scarcities of beth materials and manpower that
new inflationary controls would be necessary, And
since this was & cold war instead of a hot one,
there was some doubt whether more controls
would be acceptable to the American people.
in making up the 1950 military budget, it there
foce became necessary to set limits on military
expenditures. As the late Secretary of Defense
James V. Forrestal put it, undue enlargement of
fhilitary spending would weaken the nationai
econnomy. The President decided to hold military
spending down te $15,000,000,000, even though this
™ ..ght involve some risk.
Since that time, & new recession has set in. Dr.
Jourse says it i sull too early to tell whether
this decline will continue to further depression,
whether it will level off, or whether it will lead
to new expansion, But while this recession is on,
there is some pressure to increase military expen
ditures. The idea is to restore business conficence
gnd maintain prosperity till the mriddle of 1960.
Dr. Nourse admits there is some validity to this
theory, but it requires qualifications. If military
expenditures were cut at this time, it might pro
duce a serious recession. O the other hand, it
cannot be argued that increased military expendi
tures would be an unmitigated good for the coun
try.
During the war many domestic expenditures had
ta be cut. School econstruction was retarded.
Streets and highways were neglected. Houses were
not built as fast as new families were formed.
“Brownouts’ im many areas showed electric
power production needed expansion.
DRAWS STRIRENG COMPARISON
As a basis for cgmparison, Dr. Nourse points out
that a $15,000,000,000 a year military budget means
spending at the rate of $300,000,000 a week, Three
' hundred million dollars is about what the Presi
dent proposes t¢ spend next year—not just for a
week—on housin., aid te education, and rural
electrification. “All the money that can safely be
spared from armament, says Dr. Nourse, can
therefore be used to raise the living standards of
major segments of the U. S. population,
Military preperedness must therefore be bal
snced with ecenomic and financial preparedness,
we concludes. That is why the Marshall Plan, the
President’s program for economic assistance to
underdeveloped countries, the North Atlantic Pact
and military assistance for Europe must be con
siderad part of an integrated national policy. They
are not just parte of a separate, international
policy. They are intended to enable the United
States to buy maximum national security for each
dollar spent. *
Coming from tne chairman oi ihe Fresideni’s
Council of Ecenemie Advisers, this presentation
by Dr. Nourse gives a revealing exposition of some
of the thinking that has gone into preparation of
the administration’s program.
Final decisions on all these issues are now be
ing nmde by sppropriations committees and the
Congress. :

Helicopters And Parachutists Help
Foresters Fight Fire With Flight
By DOUGLAS LAKSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON —(NEA)— The
U.S. is prepared to meet this sum
mer’'s forest fire threat through
the air.
There are two aerial weapons
against fires that blacken and de
stroy our forests—*“smoke jump
ers” and helicopters.
The U.S. Forest Service has been
developing the technique of dro
ping men in parachutes to figf
fires for 10 years. Its corps of 300
expertly trained men is always
ready to be flown to practically
any part of the country. They
constitute one of the most efficient
outfits of their kind in the world.
These smoke jumpers spear
head all of the paid and volunteer
efforts which are marshalled when
‘a big blaze is first discovered, Be
cause they can reach the scene so
iswiftly, many times just a few of
them can get a fire under control
;which otherwise would destroy
millions of acres of valuab"im
ber.
\s & »
Although the work is extremely |
hazardous, the equipment which is
now provided for them has kept
injuries resulting from the drop
itself almost negligible in the past
two years. TWe actual fire fight
ing and the possibility of being'
surrounded by a wall of blazing
trees are the dangerous elements
of the game. Each man is heavily
padded, wears steel leg guards, has
his face protected with a heavy
iron screen and his head coveredl
with a tough helmet. |
He carries with him specially
designed picks, shovels and axes,
plus a quantity of explosives, first
aid equipment and food.
The helicopter has come into use
more recently, but it has many
advantages in fighting forest fires.
First, it serves as a sort of aerial
command post for the person di
recting the activities. Hoverirg
over the fire, he can see which
way it is headed ,where it is most
dangerous and where a concentra
tion of effort would be most effec
tive.
It can also be used to get men
and equipment from one spoi to
another quickly. Once a smoke
jumper has bailed out, he is com
mitted to that particular spot, re
gardless of whether the fire should
become more serious in another
spot. The helicopter can also eva
cuate men when a fire threatens
to surround them, keep the fight
ers fed and supplied with equip
ment when they are in action, and
get them back to hospitals quickly
when they are injured.
* * *
Although the Forest Service has
had more than 700 hours of fire
fighting experience with helicop
ters, it owns none. It has to char
ter them from private companies
when they are needed. Usually,
during a dry season, when there
is an alert, the location of all heli
copters in the area will be de
termined before-hand and they
will be kept on a stand-by basis.
The bright spot in the forest
fire picture for this summer is the
giant snowfall which paralyzed
the West and Midwest last win
ter. Fortunatély—for the flood
threat as well as the fire hazard—
the snow melted slowly. Instead of
running rapidly off the ground in
to the rivers as it melte” it seeped
‘nally into the ground.

ECHOES FROM MEMORYLAND
A College Hazing That Did Not Turn Out
I remember one college hnzln;‘
that did not turn out as the boys
had planned it. The chosen vic-‘
tim did not turn up, a college
boy took his place and turned
the joke on the rest of the crowd..
There came to thg University
a new student from out in the
country with every appearance
as green as a gourd and a fit
subject for initiation into Zeta
Chi. That was the year I graduat
ed, still being around with the
boys and keeping up with what
was going on. A committee was
appointed to call on the young
man and he readily agreed to
join the fraternity. The commit
tee went on and arranged for the
ipitiation in the big room on the
fivgt ¢lnor of Phi Kappa Hall
‘The young man Wwas staying at
the old Commercial Hotel. Before
the boys got ready to initiate him
some boy had put him wise to
what it was about and when they
went to get him he would not
come.
Then it was that the chairman
of the committee, Donald Fraser,
suggested the plan that was fi
nally worked out. He said it
would be too bad if the boys
were disappointed and that he
being about the samre size as the
young man would put a mask
over his face so that they could

not tell who he was and g
through the initiation.
The boys were there in con
siderable number, all robed out
in their white sheets. According
to custom there was no light in
the moom except one little flick
ering candle over in the corner.
It was a ghostly scene and liable
to frighten the senses out of any
new student.
Before leaving for the hotel to
get the young man, Fraser went
to his room and took his pistol
and carefully unleoaded it of the
shells and put into it blank car
tridges. When the comnuittee got
back and began the initiation,
everything went well until a cer
tain part was reached, whereup
on the chief in a fierce voice told
the candidate to stick out his
tongue and receive the royal
brand. Now if you draw a piece
of ice across a mans’ tongue and
he is in the dark and does not
know what it is, it will give him
the feeling that he has been
touched with a red hot iron.
The supposed candidate refus
ed to do so whereupon he was
told that he would have to do it
and that they would make him
do it. He again reiused and the
chief leader grabbed him by the
shoulders and told him that he
would have to keep his oath to
do whatever they told him he
would have to do. Wherewpon the
supposed candidate im & determ
ined voice said that he would do
no such a damned f®hing, and
whipped out his pistol and placed
it about a foot from the man’s
head and pulled the trigger. He
then shifted the pistol to the
other side of the man’s face and
gave him a second shot and then
he fired it in all directions into
the room.
Great Consternation
Thereupon there was great con-~
sternation in the crowd of hazers,
The light was put out and every
body was in total darkmess. The
hazers were quick to leave that
‘room. They scrambled through
the doors and out of the windows
and two of them jumped out of
