Show PAGE TWO Annual Army Day Observance To Emphasize Peacetime Role dEHIN11 Nation Will Honor tub Korea a House Divided Between U. S. and Russia Achievements By BAUKHAGE WNU Service, 1616 Eye Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. A couple of WASHINGTON. months ago I wrote a piece about Korea for' this column. It was largely a factual report and when I wrote it I realized how little I, and perof haps you, know about some Korea. I have been realizing that for many but not too think first time Korea meant anything more tcr me than a smear on the map was when I was quartered with a young fel- said: "My father was a missionary in Korea. I was. born there. When I have a nightmare I talk Korean." Korea est omnis divisa in partes duo, unam incolunt the Red army et unam (south of a dividing line drawn by Stalin and Roosevelt) army. by whatever else they didn't teach. Later, I studied abroad and didn't change my mind. Then I joined the army and discovered from my buddies (I got five francs for writing letters for them), that parts of America I hadn't grown up in were as illiterate as parts of Europe which I'd held my nose going through, and that some of Europe was more literate than the United States, although at our worst we had a better school for the poor man, proportionately, than Great Britain. Years passed and finally I began hearing complaints about our schools including the areas. I realized what teachers were being paid compared to dog catchers and garbage collectors and bartenders (not as much). I mentioned it on the radio. Most people complimented my stand for higher remuneration for education. (Of course we couldn't" expect to pay as mach as we pay for liquor to redden our nose3 or the women pay for cosmetics to redden their lips). But what shocked my New England soul was some of the letters on the "other side": From a teacher of "long and varied experience": "The most important teachers in the world are the mothers and fathers, who are now earning wages less than the teachers in a great many cases. Lack of adequate pay for them is the greatest cause of education failure and failure it is because it does not aid properly those who need it worst." From a California teacher who is "almost in despair over the situation": "The school cannot substitute for the home; it can only supplement it. You can't teach children who have had no home training; you can't even teach those who have if your whole time and strength are consumed by those who haven't. Most parents will pay whatever they have to pay for a parking station for their children and will ask no further questions. More and more of the parking attendants are unwilling to deal with such children at any price." From a Pennsylvania mother: "If monetary remuneration were the only consideration for our services in this life would there be nurses, doctors, welfare workers and ministers? Yet they abound in love and kindness and tolerance." From a Virginia man: "There is an adage to the effect, 'you get just about what you pay for. The point is, when the school teacher does his job as well as the street cleaner or garbage collector, he will be paid accordingly; but as long as the educators are content to have the street cleaners do their job better, the educators should not complain that the street cleaner Is better paid." high-literac- y low in a barrack in F r a n c e in Baukhage World War I. He talked in his sleep. That was bad enough, but I couldn't understand what he said. So I asked him. He the American The agreement was that the two nations would set up a unified provisional government and lure the Koreans back Into democratic life. Then things began to eventuate. Roosevelt died and he couldn't tell Stalin that "democracy" meant one thing to Americans and something quite different to Marxian schooled Russians. Oh, quite different. But regardless of academic definitions, this has happened, according to General Hodge's own statements: The Russians have drafted Koreans in their zone into an army They have set up a Communist regime in their sector. We haven't done so well with our brand of democracy in our sector. Not because of lack of good intentions nor of the efforts of General Hodge (so his enemies admit) but due to a lot of things including the spectre of the past which has harassed the Koreans. They like America. But all they have got from us in the past Is vague promises. Other nations beginning with Japan took them and tore them. They have faced a historical array of broken promises from the great nations. Koreans thought they were promised Independence "in a few days" after American occupation. That misunderstanding was due to the fact that the Moscow agreement was translated by a Korean who was possessed of more najive optimism than knowledge of the English language. From then on, the Americans attempting to abide by their understanding of the Moscow decisions have tried in vain to get an agreement out of the Russians which would be the basis of a unified Korea behind a unified provisional Korean government. Today Korea has become one of those explosive areas where two ideologies meet: where the two great eitipires left In the world (the U. S. and the U.S.S.R.) face each other for better or for worse. Neither thinks it should retire and allow Korea to erect a government which would take its pattern from the other. What's going to happen now? We are going to get a little tougher with the Russians, and if we can be released from that ambiguous agreement we'll let the Koreans in our rone set up their own provisional government. They already have a parliament of their own, but General Hodsc has a veto and he will keep it until wt see mme kind of a coalition, free from Communist pressure or an other kind of pressure, of which there Bre a lot.

The observance has been proclaimed by President Truman and The by governors and mayors. army's role in the observance, on orders of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, will be keynoted to securing and maintaining the peace. In addition to the traditional Army Day, the war department this year will observe Army Week during the period April 6 to 12. Army day customarily Is observed on April 6, anniversary of the declaration of war in 1917. The observance was postponed for a day this year because Easter Sunday occurs on April 6. Started in 1928. Originally proposed by the Military Order of World Wars In 1928, Army Day at that time had no governmental Inspiration. From its beginning, however, the observance received full and active support of other veterans' organizations as well as civic groups. In 1937 the house of representatives and senate, by joint resolution, designated April 6 of each year as Army Day. Since then it has expanded to a national project and is observed on a major scale annually. As in the past, Army Day and Army Week this year will call upon the nation to honor the wartime army In peacetime for a job well done and to pay tribute to all serv- - Icemen, those who survived as well as those who fell on the battlefields of all wars. Parades Scheduled. Throughout the nation. Army Day will be marked by community celebrations and parades. In communities where army units are located, uniformed troops will participate in the parades and new army equipment will be displayed. On the second observance of Army Day since conclusion of the greatest war the world has ever known, the nation has come to recognize the army as an instrument of national security both In war and peace. need was given concrete expression on November 24, 1932, by founding of the FBI laboratory. Solve Sheep Theft. Indicative of the widespread use being made of the laboratory's facilities is a recent case involving theft of 270 sheep in Big Horn county, Montana. Investigation had disclosed that a suspect was selling a large number of sheep whose wool bore evidence of efforts to obliterate brand markings. Specimens of the brand paint remaining on the sheep wool and samples of the brand paint, used by the true owner of the sheep in marking his animals, were forwarded to the laboratory. A examination spectrograph conducted by FBI technicians revealed the presence in all the samples of Prussian blue paint, identical in both color and texture. In addition, it was found by checking with the manufacturer that only one shipment of this particular lot had been made to Montana. After being tried and found guilty, the accused was fined and sentenced to serve three years and four months for the theft. Another case in which findings of the FBI laboratory aided local officers in their investigation Involved a mule-ridin- g thief In a southern state who had pil- - WNU Features. Science has established itself as one of the strong allies of crime detection. Equipped with more than a million worth of scientific apparatus and staffed with specialists in various scientific fields, the Federal Bureau of Investigation crime detection laboratory in Washington has proven an increasingly potent factor in detection and apprehension of criminals throughout the nation. dol-lar- s' Facilities of the modern scientific crime detection laboratory are at the command of every duly authorized law enforcement agency throughout the nation, both in large cities and in small communities. During the last fiscal year the volume of work received from state and municipal law enforcement agencies increased 73.7 per cent over the previous fiscal year. Services of the FBI laboratory have been expanded phenomenally since its modest beginning in 1932. In the early 1930s it became apparent to John Edgar Hoover.

Packing his stolen goods on a mule belonging to the victim's next door neighbor, James Henry Brown nonchalantly rode off. But when the mule later was found abandoned, someone remembered seeing an individual who looked like Brown riding it down the railroad tracks. Picked up by local officers. Brown was held as a suspect while his trousers, together with a sample of hair from the side of the mule, were submitted to the FBI laboratory. There, the mule gave Brown away. Hair, bearing characteristics of the equine family, was found on his trousers and in his trousers cuffs. When this hair and the hair from the side of the stolen mule were compared under the microscope. It was determined that the two specimens strongly resembled each other. When Brown was faced with this evidence he confessed and later was sentenced to a term in the state penitentiary. Adopt War Methods. The knowledge acquired and techniques developed and perfected by FBI laboratory technicians through the war years In defeating espionage, sabotage and related wartime cases are being adapted to postwar crime problems. Kidnaping, bank robbery, hijacking, murder, auto theft, robbery and many other types of crimes handled in prewar years now are being afforded the latest and most comprehensive attention in the laboratory. Many times findings of the laboratory experts win clear the name of Innocent Individuals suspected of Involvement in a case. A woman in Wilmington, Ohio, when arrested for Issuing a worthless check, protested that the store manager to whom she had given the check agreed to hold it. She stated she had written the words, "Hold this till I pay," on the face of the check. Submitted to the FBI laboratory, the questioned check was examined under ultraviolet light and found to contain this message. The case against her was dismissed.

A United Press dispatch said: "A labor department spokesman predicted the cost of living will climb to a new price record peak by the end of June. The department reported that on January 15, retail food prices were 30 per cent higher than on the corresponding date a year ago." On the basis of this supposedly official, although anonymous, interpretation of the Chicago increases in hog, corn and wheat market figures, a break occurred in the New York stock market. Naturally Wall Street traders whetted their fears that food price increases would cause another round of wage increases in coal, steel, autos and the other spring contracts awaiting renewal, and thus break our economy up into a still higher inflationary level, if not break the accepted economic progTam entirely. Actual facts of the matter do not justify all these fears. Indeed they fall so far short of Justification you might hastily conclude offhand that the unioni and the labor department must be throwing their pressure weight behind the food price increases, so they can collect another wage increase. This may sound foolish to some, and possibly it is not true, yet you can find some evidence in the government itself to substantiate such a suspicion. The government has been warning farmers against which certainly had lent encouragement to food production deficiencies. Actually it has advised against accelerated production of beef cattle, although the figures upon which it bases such advice seem to be wrong, inasmuch as they do not calculate the increased population and increased demand likely in a period of widespread availability of money, such as we are in now. Worse than that, the government actually has created the shortages in wheat by its export program, and expects to continue to Try The Mirror Tesf the wife, boys!"
