The observance has been proclaimed by President Truman and by governors and mayors. The armys 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.

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) by the American army. 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 couldnt 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 Hodges own statements: The Russians have drafted Koreans in their zone into an army.

Equipped with more than a million dollars 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. -- Facilities of the modem 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, FBI director, that his organization as well as all local law enforcement agencies needed the assistance of a crime detection laboratory. This X 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 laboratorys facilities is a recent case involving theft of 270 sheep in Big Horn coun- ty, 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 spectrographic examination 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 ,ahd found guilty, the accused was fined and sentenced to serve three years and four months for the theft.

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 couldnt expect to pay as much as we pay for liquor to redden our noses 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 cant teach children who have had no home training; you cant even teach those who have if your whole time and strength are consumed by those who havent. 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.

Whether it is a request for 'identification of suspected bloodstains, matching of hairs and bits of fibers, classification of various body fluids, handwriting, paint and soil comparisons, bullet identifications, restoration of obliterated serial numbers or any other type of examination, technicians of the FBI laboratory stand ready to offer reliable, scientific analysis. , r - t Blast Proposal for Higher Teacher Pay My folks came originally from New England.
