fancy Clubs Help Make Duty
Pleasant For Men On Okinawa
By DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
OKINAWA — (NEA) — On the
hest point of the southern part
Okinawa, with' a magnificent
ciew of the ocean and harbor,
mere is located what is probably
e fanciest and largest U. S. offi
.ors club in the world,
1t is the social hub for the civ
il.ans and officers of the Ryukyu
I<lands, but it didn’t cost the U.
g taxpayers a cent. The officers
built it and paid for it themselves.
\ few blocks away is the State
cide Club, at least equal to the
sinest non-com club that can be
found in the U. 8. A 15-piece
Filipino band plays nightly, fea
turing the singing of one of the
most prominent Filipino movie
o~tresses. Many civilians and of
(ticers prefer it to the “O” club for
dancing.
Next to it is the Fiddler’s Green,
a club for any enlisted man who
wants to go there, also as good
and managed as well as anything
like it in the U. 8. The enlisted
men’s clubs also pay for them
selves. :
These -three clubs plus others
like them and many movies, PX’s
and similar concessions, represent
hihe big difference between Oki
vawa and just any other lonely
U. S. island outpost, as far as the
yorale of the personnel stationed
here is concerned.
A little more than a year ago,
when the island didn’t have its
<tanding as a vitally strategic spot
in the Far East, morale among the
troops here was zero. It had the
reputation of a cemetery for of
ficers . . . you came out here to
be forgotten.
P
Today, with its new role as the
future keystone of American de
fenses in the Pacific, morale and
living conditions are excellent.
And this is mostly the result of
the efforts of Maj. Gen. Robert
S. Beightler, boss of the Ryukyus
Command.
- “This is a long way from
"".ome and you've got to give the
people who come here or who are
ordered here as pleasant a life as
possible, with plenty of recrea
tion,” he explains.
Most of the troops and officers
stationed here agree that it is now
a pleasant place for duty. The in
flux of wives and families is help
ing to bolster that attitude, along
with new housing and other im
provements going up all over.
Mary Brown of Columbus, 0.,
a young, attractive civilian em
ploye of the Army who came out
as a secretary a few months ago,
expresses the typical view of the
place: X g s
“I love it. There is good swim
ming practically all year. Hiking.
Dancing. Sightseeing. Practically
anything you can do in Columbus.
And you can save money.”
From the looks of the Okina
wans, most of whom have adopted
American dress—including lip
stick for the ladies—they seem not
to be chafing under the occupa
tion. They are friendly and obvi
ously prosperous. Beightler says:
“We are working to restore the
Ryukyus to self-sufficiency. We
have established a sound political
structure and, as fast as the people
become ready, have given the
Okinawans responsibility for their
own governmental functions. For
the first time in their history they
ire electing their own governors,
assemblymen and Ryukyus-wide
assemblymen, .
“Land is being returned to the
proper owners as rapidly as con
solidated military installations are
completed. Small local industries
have developed in surprising num
bers and have found outlets and
markets for their products and
goods not only within the Ryukyu
islands, but in Japan, Formosa
and the United States.”

Assistant Secretary of the Army
Earl D. Johnson made the best
explanation yet given to the Oki
nawans as to the goals of the gov=-
ernment there. He said:
“My country has no interest in
a colonial policy or in governing
other people. We believe that Oki
nawarns have a life and culture of
their own and they should pre
serve it. We do not want to keep
any permanent responsibility for
the civil administration of the Ry
ukyus.”
This statement probably did
more than anything else since the
invasion to help relations with the
Okinawans.
The very long view for the fu
ture of Okinawa, of course, de
pends on the state of the relations
between the U. S. and Russia. If
the U. S, should ever decide that
the island was no longer needed
for defensive reasons it could re
turn it to Japan or place its fate
in the hands of the Nnited Na
tions.

MOSCOW — A Soviet scientist
has predicted people will soon
be seeing the secrets of planets.
“The day is not far off,” said
Kirill Andreev, “when Soviet
scientists will see on the screens
of television sets details of the
secert landscapes of Mars, Jupi
ter, Saturn and Pluto.
“The broadcast of the images
will take place from an automatic
rocket which will be sent out
scouting into space.”
He illustrated his prophecy
with a number of pictures which,
along with the discussion, ap
pared in an article published in
Moscow called “Astronomy of
Today and Tomorrow.”
Future Cosmic Observatory
The scientist also revealed
plans of a proposed cosmic ob
servatory of the future located
near an “artifical” planet.
Here, in a world without grav
ity, he explained, the construction
of enormous reflectors will be
possible. They will show the
“smallist details” of the ‘sur
face of the planets of our solar
system.
Under these condidtions, he
explained, air will not befog and
distort images. He also pictured
it in a drawing.
Photographs Via Rockets
“Rockets with atomic motors
shot out into space will bring us
spectra of the sun photographed
close up, photographs of the
invisible side of the moon and
samples of imterplanetary space
taken in univestigated depths
of the universe,” he said.
“And still later we will our
selves brust eut of bounds of the
earth’s gravity.
“On an artificial plant of the
earth there’ll be built observa
tories and whole astronomic cities.
No Air Blanket
“These astronomers of the
future will not be hindered by the
air blanket which does not permit
ultra-violet rays to pass through
it, nor earth dust, or smoke or
soot of the cities. 1
“In the absolute quiet of cos
mic space lighted by the strange
blue light of the earth hanging in
the heavens, scientists will open
up a completely new chapter of
science—the new astronomy of |
tomorrow.” j

uncovered in Palestine, dating
