That's one reason why the armed forces are calling for medics. , There is plenty of water in South Korea es pecially now during the hot rainy season, but it isn't fit to drink. Human sewage is widely used for fertilizer 'in he. rural areas and farm communities depend on rivers and wells for their water supply. The water is almost always contaminated and U.S. troops can't use it. ; Even in the cities where there are primitive sewage systems, these only serve a small frac- has few flush toilets and in smaller cities plum bing conveniences are rare.

Besides malaria, diseases of greatest military Importance in Korea are amebic and bacillary dysentery, diarrhea, typhus and skin infections, some of which are most prevalent at this time of year;. - Cholera and some kinds of fever are ISO Common.

They were men of war all of them but one and she was (a woman of peace and love and Salvation, General Evangeline Booth. At the age of 85 she died in London where she was born and where she labored. - The name Booth, of course, springs from that "of the founder of the Salvation Army, General William Booth, and Evangeline was his daugh ter. The daughter when in her teens began do ing the Army's work with the lowly, the poor, the sinning, the outcast. In tough districts of the British capital, she became a shining flower, protected even by the hoodlums who frequented the areas. Later, she served as commander of the Salvation Army in Canada and then in the United States and from 1934 to 1939 was general in command ofits worldwide activities. Hers was Just one of the consecrated lives devoted to Christian service through this agen cy. It still carries on; its men and women in e uniform still go about the ; streets, still have their missions in slums, still offer helping hands to the drunk and fallen, the poor and. the dis tressed, still labor to give underprivileged chil dren and youth a better chance in life. At first, jeers and missies and sometimes court action greeted the Salvationists, but that oppo sition has long since been ended. Turning the "other cheek," these humble followers of the Master have won their place and many who may spurn their gospel applaud them for their good deeds. j 1 j- - Evangeline Booth was not 'interred in West minster Abbey.

The predecessor Dol lar Steamship lines" got in financial difficulties and the stock was posted with the maritime commission in receipt of a loan, on which pay ments were interrupted. The MC operated the lines and made enough money to retire the debt, but retained the stock. The! DC court ruled it was still held as pledge and should bo returned. The case will go to the U.S. supreme court. The Dollar name was identified with shipping in the Pacific since the days of sail; and maybe it will return to command the fine fleet of President ships. j S Scientists are making claims of success in priming clouds for rain.

Repeated Communist O utbreaics Would Bring Question as to Whether to Seek Real Showdown By J. M. Koberts. Jr. ' AP roreign News Analyit Just one more communist out break such as that in Korea will raise the question of whether the West should seek an imme- f diate showdown I with Russia. 1 Korea has ' provided a sur prising revela- tio n of how much western effort can be sucked In byj such relatively I ' ' small actions. I j ol the addition- - al trouble that might be caused by, communist moves in Indo china, the Balkans or elsewhere already causes people to wonder what happens if Russia is able to sit back with her military length intact while American and allied forces are scattered all over the lot against the satellites. There have been all sorts of reports from the Balkans in the last few days. International com mercial circles in New York have been full of rumors about troop movements and even invasions. The United Nations Balkan com mittee has issued a direct warn ing of possible trouble. Some of the reports have settled on Yugo slavia and some on Greece as the possible victims of Bulgarian, Rumanian and . Hungarian ag gression. Others have included , designs on both as the Comin fortn seeks to establish a new state of Macedonia. Greece is Iust as much of a U. S. responsi iliity as Korea. Similar reports havo concerned Iran. These have been discounted by the fact that Russia has no satellite army to do the Job three, although she might attempt an Internal coup through Kurdish and other dissident elements. The shah, however, has felt able only this week to defy Russian claims to j interventionist rights under an iold treaty, thereby giving the appearance of confidence that Teheran is able to handle that! Situation.; . 'h-ese communist activities on the Indochina border have led some Inside observers to calcu late that the greatest danger of the moment lies in that area. They include Burma, already torn by civil war, between sev eral more or less communist fac tions, another possible objective. - President Truman makes it dear that the United States in tends to develop ample power to handle the little wars as well as to meet whatever timetable Rus sia has for herself. Russia Is not to be permitted to consolidate her hold on more Satellite flanks. She may think her effort to do so will scatter the allied defense. But America knows its football too well. The well-recognized job is to take care of these end runs while still developing the reserve strength to meet any power play which the Kremlin may plan to send through the middle. If this double job proves too galling, the time will have risen for the allies to consider an of fensive. This might involve a complete break with the Soviet world, blockades, ultimatums, the sponsoring of active underground movements in the satellites and, ultimately, war.

Snow (Macmlllan; S3.S0) Lewis Eliot, whom readers have already met in Snow's ser ies of novels about contempor ary English life, hero tells how he grew up, launched himself in a career, fell in love and was married, v . . - 'j 1 He is the son of an ineffective, small-time businessman who, in Eliot's childhood, goes bank rupt The boy Is fond of tm, and feels at ease with him, but his mother is the dominant influ ence. Having failed to lift her husband, by her bootstraps, to success, she transfers her am bitions to her son and urges him to aim high In life. Practical Aunt MiUy, annoyed at the way the mother puts on airs, thinks ' the young man shouldn't aim any higher than the streetcar shops, but she's willing to help with his education. When World War I ends, he takes a job where he can be sure of securi ty but not much more.. His mother's insistence has had its effect, and security isnt enough. An unexpected bequest provides the money that makes it possible to go on to better things if ho will make the nec essary sacrifices. The example of George Passant inspires in him an interest in the law. But acquaintance with Jack Cotery reminds him, if a reminder is needed, that this is a world of women as well as men, and he meets Sheila Knight. From then on the story concerns his ef forts to climb to the top, and his difficult relations with beautiful Sheila, irresistibly attractive though unsure of herself and purposeless. ; - There are thrilling characteri zations in this novel: Lewis' clowning father, and Sheila's canny lather: too, and the lawyer Getliffe. Perhaps the old peoples com off better than the young, ' though Sheila holds your atten- -tion fast, and you worry, with Lewis, about whether to do the sensible thing or to yield to 'the appeal of the senses. Despite a few flashes of brilliance, the novel's excellence seems to me to be due to the author's thor oughness, rather than the Imag ination or intuition or fancy; duo even to a plodding thorough ness, though that should not be taken to mean that if s a plod ding job for the reader. Snow doesn't dream up bis characters, he digs them up.

Northrop inter nal administration of the depart ment: personnel, budget pro perty. The factions battling over CVA will wonder if this means that Interior has drawn in its horns on this promotion. I do not think so. Warne in his speech dedicting Shasta dam tore into Pacific Gas & Electric, the present large dis tributor of power in - northern California. He evidently approves of the public power expansion favored by Interior though he may not be as ardent for valley . authorities as Davidson who has .made many appearances in the northwest urging a CVA. Warne's particular promotion is the diver sion of water from the Columbia basin to the parched southwest The reason for his selection to head this important division may not have been to rate him higher than Davidson but because Chap man felt him better qualified for reclamation which after all has been the big end of Interior's water utilization. Aside from power and reda ma tion. Oregon is much inter ested in matters dealing with grazing on public lands and ad ministration of O St C lands. Daniel E. Goldy, a Davidson choice, has been heading the re gional office. Since ho Is under civil service presumably ho will be continued in his position. Doty is a new man and will have to do a lot of home work to learn how to administer the great pub lic domain and satisfy cattlemen, lumbermen, wildlife enthusiasts. With this reorganization ef fected, many people will follow with keen interest to observe how it works and what changes if any occurs in interiors public policies. - .

Behind the doors of the ordinary-looking buildings millions and millions of dollars worth of diamonds are handled each day. Nearly all of the buying and selling in Antwerp is done in one of five clubs, all Of which I visited with Mr. Charles Wein berg, a third generation diamond broker. They, are not social clubs; but there is no social club in the world where the board of directors are as careful about the membership. The Beurs Diamanthandel is typical of the clubs. When you walk in you think, at first glance, that you are in a large restaurant for men. There are scores of tables, with men on either side, leaning forward as if eating. But then you notice that the tables have no plates, knives, forks or food. - All interest is centered on packets of white, waxed paper about four inches square. These paper squares hold the diamonds which the sellers have brought to the club for the buyers to examine. There is little or no chatting or laughter in - the Beurs Diamanthandel. This is serious business with serious money changing hands. All the buyers have to help them make their decisions are a jeweler's eye-glass, a pair of tweezers with which to sold the stones, and an enormous amount of knowledge and intuition about diamonds. Buyers from all parts of the globe were scattered about the room New York, London, Paris, Buenos Aires, Calcutta, Cairo, Hong Kong. To get an idea of what a buyer's job is like I sat down at a table with Mr. Jacques Klein, jeweler of 62 Rue Lafayette, Paris. Ho had just purchased a per fect blue-white stope for $16, P00 and was examining rough stones when I pulled up a chair. It is when buying rough stones that the diamond buyer takes his risks, makes his gamble.
