American First Army Regarded A$ Mightiest of All Military Units By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK, Aug. ll.-WPl-Cut a man In half, and ha dlei. Cut an army In halt, and It usually la destroyed, too. But one Army severed In rombat during the last war la still alive and nourishing. That Is the American First Army, 30 years old this week. It has traveled a long way and won many battles since it was formed in A la Forte-Sous-Juarre, France, by the General of the Armies John J. Pershing in 1918. Armies, like men of merit, sometimes fail to get the recog nition they deserve. This has been the case with the First Army, now based at Fort Jav on Governors Island In New York harbor. The wearers of the black "A shoulder patch insignia of the first Army sometimes get an noyed with the public's tendency to confuse the achievements of their army with those of General George Patton's more widely known Third Army. But this confusion Is probably Inescapable. The average Amer ican civilian knows little more about the organization of his armed forces than an Eskimo does about the hierarchy of the Episcopal Church. In the public mind an army can really be glamorized only through a glamorous leader. And In the Second World War the flamboyant career of two-gun "Georgle" Patton, alternately America's favorite hero and bad boy of the top brass, Insured re nown for the Third Army he commanded. Patton was a great leader, and certainly a great leader doesn't have a bad army. But It la doubt ful If the Third Army ever quite measured up to the First Army at Its peak. of the Third Army or the tre- u"1f.,hln more '"" ""7"' ,h mendous record It made In Its "'J PlnK, traffic en- p. i : ii ' wnr i' 'i -i a i a i nil Oregon Traffic Engineering con ference at uregon btate college. First to break the German Iron ring in France at St. Lo. First into Paris. First into Belgium. First through the Seigfried Line. First to take a German city Aachen. First across the Rhine at Remagen. First to link up with the Rus sians on the River Elbe. But perhaps its finest stand was made In the "Battle of the Bulge" In the dark December of 1944. Split In two by a surprise 40-mlle German armored break through, the First Army rallied, threw back the enemy, healed Its deep wound and rolled on to victory. Only a great army could have taken a spear thrust like that and survived. These are the things the vet eran First Army remembers. They explain why the newest re cruit wears the big black "A" with pride. He's joined a team that never lost. More Benefits Advocated From Parking Meters OREGON STATE COLLEGE Motorist who feed coins into parking meters are entitled to aweep across France. But armies are elastic things, weakened or strengthened as divisions are taken from or added to them. An army one month may be only a planning neaaquarters contain ing a few thousand men; the next month It may be a fighting force numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Its morale depends upon the nature of the units that make it up and upon the quality of leadership provided by the army commander. Outstanding 'Firsts' Because of Its mobility, vast weight of arms .and high per centage of veteran troops the First Army is regarded bv some military men aa the mightiest (Ingle army in history. A great army la measured by Ita reaction to potential disaster as well as by Ita victories. The First Army, trained and led to France by Gen. Omar Nelson Bradley and later guided by Gen. Courtney H. Hodges, stood up well under both tests. It Is proud of these "firsts": First to hit the beaches of Normandy. Protest Meat Prices (J'10fI 1 DOWN issst MEATS I 1 PRICES ' ';-t a i .ej. (SEA Ttlrphmo) John Miller (left) and James McKlasock demonstrate their fethngs , about meat prices In CIO parade down Broadway In Camden, N. J. i 'Buy no meat" movements are gaining In strength throughout the w rest of the country. Harry Aumuck. Spokane traf fic engineer, said that meter revenues now generally used by towns and cities to reduce gen eral taxation should go Into permanent traffic Improvements and investments in off-street parking. He answered critics of parking meters by pointing out that meter-regulated spaces pro vide from three to five times as effective control as unmetered spaces. One-way streets were also ad vocated at the conference as one of the least used but most effec tive wavs of creating better use of existing streets. They not only utilize present facilities with out great additional cost, but tend to reduce accidents and save motorists time. The public gets used to them In less than 30 days and merchants find within a few weeks that they actually gain sale volume because their shopp ing areas are more accessible, it was pointed out. Officials of the Institute of Wool Growers Of Australia Expect Profitable Year SYDNEY, Aug. 12. (.'P) Aus tralian wool growers think they will continue to prosper In the new 1948-49 season. The season officially opened August 1. The first sale will be gin in Sydney August 30. Wool experts have expressed Traffic Engineers praised west ern highway and traffic engineers for the lead they have taken in promoting traffic safety. The western section of the institute they said, is the largest and most active In the country. The en gineers commended Oregon State college for Its part In sponsoring this first northwest regional conference- and voted to make a similar meeting a yearly affair. the view that the market will continue to be as strong as In the past two years. Some think the prices may be even higher than In the past two seasons. Greater competition from con tinental buyers is expected in the new season. The abolition of the Australian government subsidy on purchases by Australian buy ers, however, may help to keep prices down. Nearly 400,000 bales of war time surplus wool were placed on the Australian market last season. This year, twice that amount will be released. Australian wool growers are spending some of their hig post war profits to improve their flocks. Melbourne sales of stud rams In Augusi brought the high est prices in years. Nobody is guessing yet what American buyers will do in the new season. Everybody, however, Is hoping for more United States buying to keep price up, and to bring in dollars. Moscow Must Drop Red Crusade To Obtain U. S. Collaboration By DeWITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst . The Moscow radio laid aside its customary attacks on the Democracies yesterday and for a change urged closer collaboration between Russia and the United States to assure lasting peace. The commentator declared that "Just as it was collaboration of the great powers that made pos sible complete victory over the forces of fascism and militarism, so collaboration assure a lasting peace at the present time." Since ail broadcasts in Russia are gov ernment controlled, we can be sure that this extraordinary state ment had official approval. Such a striking about face from the caustic criticism of the Democracies makes us pause to enquire "why?" Are the Musco vites talking "for the record," are they on a fishing expedition, or do they really mean business? However, before trying to answer that, let's give a constructive re sponse to the suggestion of col laboration. There is Just one way, as I see it. In which full collaboration can be secured with the United States. That is for Moscow to abandon its project of world re volution for the establishment of Communist governments by force. America never has challenged Russia on what the latter was doing within Soviet borders. How ever, the United States has made it quite clear that she will not stand idly by while Communism is thrust upon small nations themselves against Moscow-directed aggression. What U. 3. Won't Tolerate Mind you, we are not dealing with a normal Ideological cru sade. One of the cardinal tenets of Bolshevism is the necessity of using strong-arm methods not only In the establishment of Red governments but in "persuading" unwilling people to subscribe to the ism. In this manner little countries like Czechoslovakia are taken over by Moscow. The United States will not col laborate with a government which pursues any such scheme of operations. She will not col laborate with an ideology which says that the world isn't big enough to hold both "capitalism" and Communism, and that "cap italistic" countries must be de stroyed. She will not tolerate subversive activities by Com munists within her own borders. Man, 80, Obtains Lictnst To Marry Eighth Time VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 12.
