Army Trainees Get
Sound of Battle
FORT LEWIS, Wash., Aug. C
(AP)-If they never get any
closer lo the battle from, army
trainees here at least will have
a vivid idea of what actual bat
lie sounds like.
The trainees arp required to
cover a course, a simulated bat
tle front, with live bullets from
.30 caliber machine guns whining
over their heads.
The bullets are from guns fir
ing at a fixed level, which how
ever, is low enough so that train
ees are happy to hug the ground
with their stomachs. The men
crawl toward the guns, to a
trench from which, theoretically,
they will throw grenades enab
ling them to wipe out the ma
chine gun nest.
'This is battle with safely pre
caution," MaJ. K. A. Pollack told
a battalion before it began its
tortuous crawl. "Think of it as
battle. Act as if you were in bat
tleyour life depends on keep
ing flat, exposing as little as pos
sible to gun fire."
At a signal the guns burst Into
action, setting up a ceiling of fire
across the course. As the men
crawled forward, working their
elbows and knees, digging in with
their toes and even their chins,
blasts from prepared pits raised
cloudjj of dust. A number of small
crater explosions, simulating ar
tillery fire, were directly on the
course, forcing the men to crawl
around and between them. From
either side larger craters pour
ed forlh earth-shaking detona
tions. From a truck parked near
by came a concert of catastrophe,
every sound known to battle.
"I could go through thai
again," grinned a dusty private
of 20.
"You'll have plenty of chance
to," cracked a 39-year-old corpor

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
St. Paul in fiis; epistle to the
Corinthians declares he deter
mined not to know anything
save Chrisl and Him crucified.
This gives to us a clear under
standing of his Christian char
acter. He had a wonderful way
of giving emphasis to his
thought by saying It In Ihe
most striking words. To be
sure, he did not meun literally
that he would not know any
thing else than the crucified,
risen Christ. But he meant to
say that he would place a val
ue upon all that he knew only
in its relation to the crucified
Christ. That is why the cross
plays so large a part in all his
writings Paul may be said to
have been a man with one mes
sage. Though he was a phil
osopher his message was not
primarily about philosophy.
Though he was a Theologian,
his theology was Christ-centered.
Though he was an orator,
he would not permit his ability
to speak "wllh the tongues of
men and of angels," to cause
him to lose his great theme
which was Ihe cross. Paul was
a man of high acquaintance,
with Him was Paul's eternal
quest, and in his seeking he
found Him whom to know Is
Life Eternal. It is more im
portant to know Him, than to
be Informed about Him. Amen.

Rep. Stockman Assails
Handling Milk Problem
PRINEVILLE, Aug. 7. (Ay?)
Office of Price Administration
(OPA) handling of the central
Oregon milk problem, believes
Rep. Lowell Stockman (R., Ore.)
is the "worst mismanaged" on the
home front.
The congressman told the cham
ber of commerce that OPA ac
countants went to The Dalles,
"contacted a few dairymen, ex
amined their books and proudly
announced that dairymen in that
district have been making money
and are still making money un
der ceiling prices. In the mean
time, If) of them went broke and
out of business and the other two
are in operation only because the
city is subsidizing them in the
hope OPA will wake up to the
facts before it is too late."
Stockman said prices should be
controlled by local boards which
have authority to make adjust
ments required by local conditions.
