SCENE
Prepared By Central Press
WASHINGTON—The military
manpower program forced on
Uncle Sam by Communist im
perialism has created a host of
nasty problems for American
colleges.
It's the new job of Dr. John
R. Richards, special assistant to
the secretary of the Army, to
help university presidents iron
out these difficulties. Forty-two
year-old Dr. Richards, a Navy
veteran from the last war. is the
executive assistant to the presi
dent of the Wayne University
in Detroit.
As an alert educator. Dr.
Richards knows the problem
arising from a fundamental con
flict of interests between the
Army and the colleges. The
Army intends to get most of its
officers from the ranks of col
lege men. So naturally the Army
wants colleges to offer many
courses in military subjects. Col
leges. on the other hand, don't
want to offer any’ more military’
courses at a sacrifice of regu
lar curriculum. When an argu
ment like this comes. Dr. Rich
ards steps in.
♦ ♦ » ♦
SOME PROGRESS—In an in
terview, Richards already re
ports progress. Both colleges
and the Army have settled on a
program under which officer :
randidate students will devote
• t least one of their eight se
mesters to military subjects. The
nilitary subjects are spread over
the four-year course, but they
total approximately one se-

mester. Richards reports this is
accepted by almost all colleges—
the major exception being engi
neering schools. The engineer
ing institutions contend their
undergraduates must have at
; least eight semesters worth of
scientific courses. If the mili
, tary subjects arg going to total
' one semester, this overloads a
student.
I While Congress was debating
the selective service and uni
versal military training program,
, many American universities ex
pressed fears of a shutdown for
lack of students. Richards says
this won't happen, though he
does admit fewer students will
be enrolled in the future.
He says the Army will do all
it can to maintain the civilian
altitude of citizen soldiers.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
HOW IT WORKS—Here's an
example of how that’s being
done: Some 4.000 Gls overseas
are taking regular college
courses in off-duty time. These
courses are offered by the Uni
versity of Maryland, in the Eu
ropean theater, the University
oi California in the Far East,
and Louisiana State in Panama.
All three of these educational
institutions have opened up
branches overseas. And a sol
dier who completes any course 1
they offer can receive regular
credit towards a degree.
* ♦ * ♦
LOOKING AHEAD—Richards,
and other Army officials, be
lieve information and education
programs will be more impor
tant than ^ver when UMT is a
working program. In many areas
of the country, a soldier in
training is cut off from most
daily newspapers and from con
tact with forces that shaped his
civilian attitudes. One function
of the information and education
program will be to maintain
this contact. “After all,” Rich
ards observed, "most soldiers
don't intend to make the Army
their career."
Then too, the American army
acts on the assumption an in
formed soldier is a better sol
dier. “The man w’ho knows
what he's fighting for, fights
harder." Richards said.
Increase Os
Pensions Is
Ordered Oct. 1
Governor Herman Talmadge
this week approved a $10,000.-
000 yearly increase in the State's
'••elfare assistance programs, ef
fective with the October pay
ments.
Georgia's aged, needy blind
and dependent children will all
benefit from the new money
which he has made available.
This money will make possi
ble:
1. A 15 percent increase in all
payments up to allowable Fed
eral maximums, and,
2. An increase in payments
for medicine chest—s3.oo per
month for aged and blind; $1.50
per month for dependent chil
dren.
“This is the largest single in
crease in needy assistance in
the history of the Welfare De
partment," Governor Talmadge
declared.
"When we assumed office as
Governor the total outlay for
pensions was only $20,000,000.
As a result, we were losing a
lot of Federal aid for this pur
pose to other states. We furnish
ed additional money and are
getting about three dollars in
Federal matching funds every
time we put up a dollar.”
For two years now, under
Governor Talmadge's expanded
program for matching Federal
benefits, Georgia has led all
other States in the Southeast in
securing Federal fund alloca
tions.
The Governor said the pres
ent welfare program for all pur
poses amounts to $41,000,000 an
nually and with the latest in
crease it would exceed $51,000,-
000. This is nearly three times
the amount furnished for this
purpose by the immediately pre
ceding administration.
The increased money for the
old people, the needy blind and
the dependent children was pro
vided in conformity with Gov
ernor Talmadge s pledge that he
would do everything possible,
while serving as governor, to
furnish adequate funds for the
assistance program.

No Let-Up Os
CD Planning,
Director Says
Major General Ernest Van- ।
diver, Georgia Civil Defense Di- ;
rector, said this week the na- !
tion and the State “must not
slow down its preparedness
plans in view of the truce ne
gotiations currently in progress
in Korea.
Gen. Vandiver said he had
been approached by many citi
zens seeking his views with rr -
gard to what course should be
followed in the event, of a cea§e
fire' agreement between UN
forces and Communist leaders
in Korea.
The State CD Director de
clared: “We must never lose
sight of certain basic facts. In:
the present situation we must
not forget that in dealing with
the North Koreans and Chinese
Reds, we are in reality dealing
with the Soviet Union.”
“Communism as practiced by
Russia and her satellites.” he I
emphasized, “can not exist side
by side with free enterprise as
we have here in America. The
Communist world has as its ob
jective the destruction of the
system.”
The Communist methods of
treachery, infiltration, sabotage
and setting of friend againt
: friend have been witnessed by
the entire world in recent years.
Gen. Vandiver pointed out.
"They will utilize military con
quest if other methods fail. They
will choose the day, the hour
and the place to start a military
conquest.”
In the event of attack on any
target, in Georgia or the nation,
the CD Director said, “casualties
will not be inflicted only on the
armed forces. The quickest wax
to win a war is to knock out.
industrial production and slow
down or seriously cripple the
production of food and fiber. For
' the first time in history, our po
tential enemy has the power to
> do this.”
Gen. Vandiver said if the j
Communist quit in Korea, pres
, sure will increase in other parts <
of the W’orld. “We can never j
safely relax our vigilance or I
slacken the pace of our Civil I
Defense preparations.”
Gen. Vandiver reminded Geor
gians of what happened in 1941 !
