Army’s Caste System Hinders
Success of Volunteer Program
From the Anderson Independent
Pressure continues for extension
of the draft law beyond May 15 and
enactment of some kind of univer
sal military service law.
The White House and the Army
leadership cites as reasons for such
moves by Congress:
1. Volunteering, while doing well
in the Navy and Army Air Forces, is
not furnishing enough replacements
for the Army Ground and Service
forces.
2. The world situation isn’t im
proving. Russia is already empha
sizing military preparedness at a
time when the United States is cut
ting down its armed strength.
It is interesting to analyze the
causes behind the two effects by
the president and the Army.
About No. 1:
Hundreds of thousands of young
Americans would volunteer for
Army service if the Army operated
along modem lines and treated en
listed men less like dirty dogs and
more like human beings.
A retired brigadier genera,1 and a
West Pointer, H. C. Holdridge re
cently told the House Military Af
fairs Committee that the Army is
“undemocratic, a feudalistic organi
zation carried over into the Atomic
Age. It is always one or two wars
behind in its thinking”.
I His indictment is backed up by
j assertion of Dr. Arthur E. Morgan
I in ‘The American Mercury’: “The
authoritarian and dictatorial temper
of West Point rules the Army. It is
not just a regime of training mili
tary men, but a cult, with a deep-
rooted tradition. Few religious or
other cults anywhere put their no
vices through such intense training.
Few Americans realize what medie
val, coercive indoctrination of yoyng
minds goes on at the Academy.”
As for No. 2, concerning the Rus
sians:
The military mind is making it
self felt in Russian foreign policy,
writes W. M. Fodor in the Chicago
Sun, and the same is true in the
United States, where policy is also
being affected by the brass-hats.
Writes Fodor:
“The emergency of a powerful
military clique came to pass after
the close of World War II. Army
leaders generally think in terms of
‘aggressive security’ and these Rus
sian brass-hats were no exception.
“Just as our admirals continue to
think in terms of bases in the Paci
fic for ‘defensive purposes’ so the
Russian marshals are seeking secur
ity by pushing the Soviet sphere of
influence westward. It now appears
that The more belligerent and im
perialistic marshals already have
been withdrawn from those occu
pied areas where they could infect
the rank and file with dangerous
ideas. Their influence, however,
cannot be underrated.”
And neither can the influence of
the brass-hats in America be dis
counted. The White House is sold
on them already, and therefore the
continued pressure for extension of
the draft and a European-type sys
tem of universal military training.
In the light of the foregoing ex
amples, however, it is easy to see
what is happening: tension is kept
high in Russia and the U. S. by tne
brass-hats in order to provide argu
ments for huge armed forces.
Sentiment, war-like, is fostered in
order to bring public pressure upon
Congress to keep drafting more men
for the brass-hats to boss and _ to
provide, naturally, continued jobs
for brass-hats.
The Independent believes the na
tion should maintain a volunteer
armed force capable of meeting our
reasonable commitments abroad. It
believes this force should be recruit
ed through drastic revisions of the
Army caste system in order to pro
vide more incentive to join.
Meanwhile, military training
should be provided in all high
schools and, where feasible, in col
leges with emphasis upon the type
of warfare the nation would face in
the Aviation-Atomic Age where
brains will count rather tjian masses
of men.
GIVE!
Warm clothing is essential
to health in winter. You can
contribute substantially to the
health of your fellow men and
add greatly to the comfort of
some unfortunate European by
giving $3.80 to the Red Cross
fund. This sum provides enough
material for volunteer* workers
to make into a dress for distri
bution by Red Cross civilian re
lief workers overseas.
ROUNDELAY
Sleeves are bursting out
all over! Balloon sleeves
that puff out from the
shoulders and gather to
the arms are an expres
sion of the fuller, gayer
silhouette for spring and
summer. -
This feminine softness
may be achieved by a
grosgrain ribbon draw
string that puffs the
sleeve to the arm. And
then is repeated in a
softly gathered neckline.
Looking forward to the
new season, you’ll find
front peplums that are
crisp and perky providing
new skirt interest. The
smartest distance between
two points is no longer a
straight line—it's a gently
rounded one!
All these features are de
lightfully combined in this
picture-pretty Fashion Frock of the Week which is modeled
by a John Powers beauty. It’s a charming Calypso print of
dancing West Indian figures interpreted on a background of
fine white pique to tell a story of summer fun.
Hearts are gay and clothes are light-hearted to match
them this year!
50 Improvements
Distinguish Plymouth
Fifty new improvements, 34 mech
anical and 1C appearance, distinguish
the new line of Plymouth cars whose
first public introduction last Friday
drew tens of thousands to dealers’
showrooms in cities and towns from
coast to coast, according to the
Summer-Baker Motor Company of
this city.
Ten different body types com
prise ths line: a four-door sedan,
two-door sedan, five-passenger club
coupe and a business coupe are avail
able in either DeLuxe or Special De-
Luxe types. A flashing convertible
coupe and a station wagon complete
the Special DeLuxe line.
Complete redesigning of front end,
fenders, moldings and bumpers,
coupled with smooth-flowing body
lines, have given the new Plymouth
massdveness, length and low appear-;
ance found formerly only in higher-1
priced cars. Interior trim is entirely |
new, achieving a rich, restful beauty j
of particular appeal to women.
