“PICTURE YOURSELF' IN 'KOREA .. ."” That’s what.
sergeant Jack Ranieri, of Great Falls, Mont., tells his
(iI students at Fort Benning, Gas, after this convincing
performance on use of a bayonet.

\f Fort Benning
By DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Cerrespondent
FORT BENNING, Ga. — (NEA)
'he sergeant was convincingly fe
cious as he rammed the bayonet
uto the dummy, but his audience
! GI trainees looked bored. :
Then the sergeant made: a little
irtain speech.
“I know you guys think the use
f this stabber is pretty silly stuff
ompared to all the fancy automa
ic weapons we've been showing
ou,” he said. “But picture your
elf in Korea. A swarm of gooks
ire rushing you. You empty your
lip, kill a few, but they still keep
n coming, it
“Believe me, knowing how to
ise this old-fashioned bayonet will
ave your life then. You don’t
ave time to reload, .and the only
hing between you and death -is
his stabber.” (s |
There wasn't a bored GI in the
lass after that. In its new souped
p training program, the Army .is
incerely trying to tell the men
‘why” this time, instead of just
eaching them “how.” And it's
aying off.
Old Frills
A lot of the old frills, such as
lard mounts and parades, have
cen trimmed down to almost
thing, and the Army is applying
erything it has learned about
ining since World War 11,
cther it’s in basic ' combat
Irses or in the 90-day-wonder
tory for officers which has just
en reopened,
An inspection of every type of
‘ning: at a dozen different in- |
llations reveals vast improve
nts over the way Unele Sam
ned out soldiers for the last
The hated obstacle course, for
ce, is now a confidence
‘¢ and a GI can balk at the |
' first hurdle if he wants to
'thout being disciplined.
Result: the percentage of men
0 conquer the whole course by
¢ end of training is away up. I
't have to take a colonel’s
orld for that. There was the
‘Ump GI T watched straining to
c top of a 34-foot ladder on his |
dturday afternoon off. I asked
m how come.
. The guys kidded me for skip
-2 that one last time we were
" the course” he said. “I just
‘@nted to make sure I could make
fi"I .
- Sweeten wich :
X ."r n PURE AN‘ U ,%%Q?‘l’sw
[ it-next time we're out here”
L ‘,~%lning Expert
Brig. Gen:'S. T. Williams, Army’
Field Force training expert at
headquarters in Fort Monroe, Va.,
explained how the Army is now
doing in 14 weeks what used to
take 17.
“We've learned how to make
better use of the men’s time
There’s a lot less sitting around
and just waiting . . . The training
is closer to the actual experiences
the men will have in combat.”
Subject like map reading, use
| of a compass and fox-hole digging
| are part of a special field project
| instead of independent subjects.
The men learn to move and op
| erate under live machine gun and
artillery fire. : v
| Lessons learned in Korea, such
| as the technique of fighting in
cities as well as in woods or open
‘ fields, have been added. There's
1 heavy emphasis on night fighting,
| with problems that last more than
| a week. el
| New Training Devices
1 All sorts of new training de
vices, from simple pictures to elab~
orate mock-ups of ‘weapons, are
being used. And at, each stage of
| training, a man must pass a spe
't eial test to show he can actually
{ do what he has just been taught.
| If he fails, he has'to repeat the
l course. ?
l Last war, thousands of men got
;. exposed to the full training treat
i ment and still didn’t learn much
| soldiering. This time they are get
ting the word from combat-ex~
perienced instructors, and the “do
ing” method of proficiency testing
makes the lessons stick.
While training times for Gls has
been ecut, the course for ‘“‘wonder
| officers” now takes 154 days in
stead of 90. That includes 317
hours devoted exclusively to wea
pons (there are twice as many as
in the last war); 254 hours for tac
’tics (including the bayonet); 242
hours for leadership, map-reading,
l and newly-stressed air-ground li
aison, and uncounted extra hours
‘of text book study.

i The Army is making no bones
| about why it has reopened the in
ifantr,v OCS school. The mortality
| rate on second lieutenant and pla
| toon leaders in Korea is too great
for the output of West Point and
ROTC courses. The -men who
make the grade will be in Korea
before the ink on their commis
siong is barely dry; and they knew
it when they applied for the
‘ school.
| Right now, OCS has only 104
students, but every four weeks
will see the start of a new class
of 200. Lt. Col. Jesse C. Drain,
OCS commandant, calls the first
class the cream of the Army's en
listed men, Most have had col-
lege training, although the equiv
alent of a high school education
would qualify a candidate.
There still are bugs in the Ar
my’s training. There are shortages,
wasted time, commanders who
make it too easy and some who
are unnecessarily tough. But it’s
better than World War 11. The
“big picture,” as they say in. the
Army, is good. - s
Last War's Peak
BY C. M. WHITE
President, Republic Steel Corp.
. CLEVELAND—(NEA)— Amer
ica’s steel industry, once again
called upon to produce the sinews
needed to safeguard Amierica’s
freedoms, today can provide 14
million more tons of steel annual
ly (or 16 percent )than were con
sumed in the peak World War II
year of 1944,
Moreover, by the end of 1952
America’s steel companies will be
able to produce 28 per cent more
annually ¢han was made in 1944.
Translated into terms of milita
ry equipment, here’s what could
be fabricated from just one day’s
output of American steel compan
nies, according to the American
Iron and Steel Institute:
An aijrcraft carrier and two
heavy cruoisers.
Five hundred airplanes.
Qupe “thousangd anti-aireraft gns.
" glnve'.gundred tanks. {
Half a million 3linch shells.
One Thousan® howitzers.
. .Three thousand aerial bombs.
And, among “indirect military
and essential civilian” items would
be 100 freight cars, 2000 trucks,
two cargo ships, two tankers, 12,-
000 refrigerators and 20,000 stoves.
There woul still remain
enough metal from that one day’s
production of American steel com
panies to make available 33,000
tons of miscellaneous purposes.
How does American-steel pro
duction now cempare with that of
Soviet Buaslh? .. v v v g o 4
__Three tons of steel are poured
in the United States to one ton
poured in Russia and all the coun
tries she controls. Add to ours the
steel-making capacity of all the
non-Communist countries, and the
ratio is five tons of non-Commun
ist steel to one ton of Communist
steel.
But our steel industry since
{he war has been producing all
time speed to satisfy the pent-up
demand for automobiles, washing
machines, refrigerators, bicycles
and thousands of other consumer
items. In the same years, the
Russian steel industry has been
pouring its production into tanks
and guns. :
It would be extremely danger
ous for the people of this coun
try to let themselves be lulled
info an attitude of unpreparedness
simply because they know that we
can produce these huge quantities
of steel. We might have very little
time to prepare after an attack
began. We must prepare in ad
vance.
A eduction in civilian goods
certainly is ahead of us. The steel
industry has cut down the orders
of its regular customers to meet
the demands of defense produc
tion and to comply with govern
ment allocating programs. The
industry has agreed cheerfully to
give priority to all defense orders.
No nation has been able to
fight, or to prepare for a major
war, and at the same time supply
all the needs of the civilian popu
lation. To build a productive ca-

in protecting our freedom, we in
vited long-range controls and let
them become a permanent part of
our philosophy of government,
Industry faces numerous prob
lems in meetin%vthe challenge of
today's needs, We must face the
fact that high-grade iron re
sources in our country have been
seriously depleted by two world
wars. Fortunately, several of the
steel',cogln es, including Re
public, have been devel%)ing new
sources in Labrador, in Venezuela
and im Afrioa,
Transportation eterial has
hecome Lbotfionoc% lt': is too bad
the St. wrence Seaway hasn't
boon constructed. If eircumstanes
permit, this “&-ojoct should be
given immediate consideration,
but on a self-liquidating basis,
A large part of the hundreds
of millions of dollars now golng
into new plant construction and
into development of new ore sup
¥lies must be paid out of grofits.
t's a question whether the so
called current “substantial” prof
its Would Be high efough to
nance the tremendous expansion
now under way.
We have over 60 million em
ployed, but the armed for‘cu are
prepared to draft many more men
in their most productive years.
The rest of us, therefore, must
produce more in order to have
enough,
We must all work harder to
prove that the traditional Ameri
can Way of Life can produce not
only a high living standard but a
PAGE ELEVEN
military machine superior to an{
in the world. We must show tha
these things can be done with a
minimum of controls and a mixi
mum of voluntary cooperation.
It we can do this, we can gggwt
to some nations -~ who friends
ship or admiration we cannot buy
with Marshall Plan dollars—-that
our example is worth following.
Communism will fail wherever
free people see that freedom l})ells
accomplishment, higher living
standards and greater security
from the ordinary hazards of lifs,
