Successful Use Of "Copfers In
Korea Leads To Tactics Changes
By DOUGLAS LARSEN
° NWEA Staff Correspondent
* WASHINGTON—(NEA)— Heli
copters are about to beat guided
missiles and atomic weapons in
revolutionizing modern warfare.
- Here are some of the radical
changes taking place in the serv
ices as a result of experience with
the “flving windmills” in Korea:
In three or four years it is pre
dicted the Army will be spending
more for helicopters than for
trucks. There are plans to spend
a half billion dollars to equip each
division with ’'copters. |
There are now just about as
many men in helicopter flight
training as are learning conven=-
tional flying. l
¢ * &
The Marine Corps has com
pletely scrapped its World War II |
basic plans for taking beaches.
New name is “triphibious opera- |
tion.” It envisions moving all first |
waves in by helicopter with later |
resupply as the only landing ship |
function. As a result the Navy
‘has eut way back on buying jand
ing craft. s
Army tacticians are busy re~|
writing the book on the speéd
with which units can be moved by |
helicopter. Flying windmills elim- |
fnate the need for many supply
dumps. They completely revise
old limitations on the mobility and
striking force of ground units. |
¢ And in the present strategic pic- |
ture for the defense of Western |
Europe, the helicopter enhances
the value of limited Allied divi
sions against greater Communist
forces more than the highly-tout
ed atomic weapons, according to

“The helicopter permits enough
dispersion of an invading task

surprise because they are faster

TRIPHIBIOUS PREVIEW: Important
part helicopters can play in moving com
bat troops up ot the front lines fast was
place ready to fight as a compact
unit, without first having to waste
time assembling.”
In an actual combat test in Ko~
rea, Capt. Armstrong reveals that
1000 men were moved 16 miles up
to a front line in four hours with
12 helicopters. With trucks it
would have taken six and one
half hours, requiring 100 vehicles,
he says. Other combat experience
by the Marines with the flying
windmills has proved just as suc
cessful.
* % %
The Army’s enthusiasm for this
Marine experience is expressed by
Col. Charles W. Matheny, jr., a
tactical and operations expert. He
says.
“The use of helicopters opens
new concepts of ground opera
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA ..
demonstrated in this combat airliit by U.
S. Marines in Korea this fall,
tions which can effect important
changes in the nature of land war
fare. They will be used for short
haul transport in corps, divisions,
and smaller tactical units to pro
vide greater mobility. The Army
is now organizing helicopter trans
port companies for allocation to
divisions primarily for the pur
pose of providing a rapid r%eans
of transport for infantry uhits.”
Col Matheny estimates each
company wil! have 21 transport
helicopters and two small helicop
ters for command and reconnais
sance purposes. A unit, he says,
will be capable of transporting in
one lift the personnel and equip
ment for the combat elements of
an infantry r.ifle. co.mpany.
The Colonel claims that by con
verting unit transport to helicop-
ters it would be possible for a
unit to move 600 miles per day
at an average speed of 60 miles
per hour. Present motorized units
can move about 150 miles per day
at an average speed of 15 miles an
hour.
All of these tactical advantages,
he says, are in atidition to the tre
mendous advantages the helicop
ter has already proved in mov=-
ing out the injured, in rescue
work, in artillery spotting and in
welding all units closer together
by providing better liaison be
tween commanders.
Looking even further into the
future, Capt. Armstrong doesn’t
think that the Navy’s new one
man helicopters, which strap to
the back, are sufficiently proven
yet to make predictions on what
they might du for an army’s mo
bility. He doesn’t think that they |
will ever be used for more than a
battalion at o:)e £ims. however,
He feels that the greatest future
in this particular field lies in the
convertiplane, an aircraft which
can go up and down as well ag fly
forward as fast as a conventional
plane, and helicopters which can

Robot Economics Teacher
Has Water Pump For Heart

NEA Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO —(NEA)— A new
member of the Roosevelt Col
lege faculty may set the pace for
tlre professor of the future. His
heart is a water pump.
The “prof” is an “economic
brain” imported from Britain, the
only one of its kind in this coun
try. Pink-tinted water circulating
through a graphic picture of the
U. S. economy in motion.
For instance, when Congress
spends more than taxes are bring
ing in, the machine shows what
happens, and how much. Water
flowing through a series of tanks
represents dollars. The source,
national income, is drained off as
the flow passes each tank.

A system of weights and bal
ances regulates the flow into and
out of the tanks, which bear -such
labels as investmrent, government
spending and consumption.

LIBRARY RUNS

LANSING, Mich. — (NEA) —
Michigan’s libraries are now
linked together in the first state
wide teletype network of libraries
in the nation. All the public li
braries and some private ones are
tied into the system, a direct re
sult of a fire that almost destroyed
the Michigan State Library.
The library lost some 33,000
books in the fire in the State Of
fice Building last February. Tens
of thousands of others were water=
soaked and partially damaged.
The rest of the 500,000-volume
collection had to be dehumidified
before it could be used. For a
time, at least, the library was out
of business.
But Mrs. Loleta D. Fyan, the
state librarian, decided that a tele
type network—something she had
long advocated—would help the
crippled library and be a good
thing for the state’s library sys
tem as a whole. She pleaded her
case before state officials and got
the go-ahead.

Bustle Again?
usiic Adaint
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK — (AP) — Is the
bustle coming back to America?
Well, there’s a rustle in that di
rection—cnly the girls themselves
don't realize it, says a movie fash
ion expert,
Charles Le Maire says the pre
sent wild feminine rush toward
fuller cocktail skirts and evening
gowns might force a comeback for
the bustle against the wishes of
women themselves.
Le Maire, who has helped dress
and undress a lot of stars as ward
robe director for twentieth-cen
tury-Fox, is historical rather than
hysterical about the situation. He
approves of the trend toward
spreading gowns—buit insists they
are getting out of hand.
“That led to the bustle before—
and it may again,” he said.
Perhaps you are not aware of
the dimensions of the problem, but
women after dark now are wearing
fluffed out things that make them
look like the middle tent in
three-ring circus.
“It started in Europe last spring
—it was a gay social season—and
spread here,” said Le Maire,
Used. to Brag
“Women used to brag about who
designed their dress. Now they
are content to boast, ‘lt has 25 te
40 yards of material in it.’
“I like the style—it is soft and
feminine. It is a return to the
1860’s. But the women then grad
ually let their skirts get so wide
they couldn’t get into carriages or
pass through doors. So they start
ed pushing their skirts mk and
they ended with—tha bustle ”
Le Maire says he hates the idea
of a bustle because it creates an
unnatural body line—like a rear
uprising falsie, ’ .
“The only use I see for a bustle
in the modern world is for some
one to park a package on it in the
subway,” he said.
It is his idea that the flared skirt
has crept up without the average
husband realizing it—and that it
will change our civilization unless
its spread is halted.
“T like the big full dress,” he
said, but—it is changing our lives,
No Place To Sit
“There is no longer a place for
a man to sit down. The dress
takes up so much space there is
standing room only. Architects
will have to make doors wider.
Furniture will have to be rede
signed. It will have to be elastic
like the accordian—able to stretch
out more.
“And as for closet space? Al
ready the wife with the wide
skirts ean hang only half her new
wardrobe in her own closet. So
what does she do? She takes up
her husband’s closet. And where
does he find his clothes? Hanging
in the bathroom.”
Le Maire says its time to call a
halt to the ballooning style of after
dark dresses—right now.
At the moment he is working on
an interesting project—an evening
dress for Susan Zanuck, the
daughter of Producer Darryl Za
nuck of Wahoo, Neb. The dress
will be worn by Miss Zanuck at
her debut this month, and eertain
ly is not the least of this year’s
Hollywood productions.
It will have 62 yards of white
nylon net,” said Le Maire dream
ily. “Beautiful . . . beautiful.”
Reservisis And
Regulars To Vie
For Promotions
DOBBINS AIR FORCE BASE,
Ga., November 9—Reservists and
regulars will vie alike for promo
tions in the Air Force. There’ll be
no discrimination against Air
Force Reservists, who have com
plained in the past of being ig
nored when promotions were
handed out.
The improved promotion system
will be one of the features of the
new Long Range Program of the
Air Force Reserve, Colonel John
C. Watson, commanding officer of
the 2589th Air Force Reserve
Training Center at Dobbins Air
Force Base, said today.
“It is planned to present a com
pletely new Air Force promotion
policy, combining Reserve and
Regular promotions into one in
tegrated advancement.system for
Congressional action next Febru
ary,” Col Watson disclosed.
Col. Watson said the new Long
Range Program of the Air Force
was created after long study by
key reservists and Air Staff per
sonnel. It maps a clear future for
the individual reservist enabling
him to show his family and em
ployer just about exactly where
he stands reserve-wise for years
to come and during varying de
grees of national emergency.
