Blooded in Battle
For a realistic description of just how the
infantryman engages in battle one should read
the article "I Send Your Son into Battle" by
Lt. Col. Melvin Russell Blair in the current
Saturday,. Evening Post. It not only relates the
procedures. followed by which units are moved
forward to the front lines and then go over the
and want to be remembered. Re brought sci
entific forestry and silviculture to Oregon State,
trained hundreds of young men who now are
at work in various phases of forestry, public
and private. Such was the regard in which
"Pea vy'a ; boys" held him that they .erected a
cabin for him at the Peavy Arboretum north
of Coryallis. Appropriately the arboretum bears
hii '.name; and what better memorial could one
top, but tells of the emotions that surge through ; thian growing trees which will perpetuate

the Korean fighting, rising through the ranks
to his present grade of lieutenant colonel, j
The basic fighting unit, Blair reports, is the
batallion which breaks down into companies
and platoons and squads.,: Supplementing the
three-rifle, companies are a heavy weapons com-
pany, a platoon of five tanks, and sometimes an
engineers' company. . .-. ; j
- Battle planning is done behind the lines, and I
each batallion is given specific objectives. The
batallion commander must direct the actual I
- fighting, coordinate with supporting air and
artillery, and make reports to regimental head- I
quarters. r
Orders for the advance are given usually J
after artillery duels in which our artillery tries f
to pulverize the enemy position and the enemy f
drops mortar bursts and' shells on our own f
lines. This is the soldier's christening in combat, f
Aid and Economy
i :Oregon Business and Tax Research has fig
lured that Oregon's share of the proposed $8.5
billion; foreign aid program would be $83,000,000
I or $54, per capita. That is a lot of money, about
three tfmes the 1951 public welfare cost in the
j state.' The OBotTR bulletin quotes its president,
I R. D. Barker, executive of the Hood River apple
growers' association, as pointing out that "this
I huge cost of foreign-country pump-priming is
almost as much as the federal government spent
for all purposes ... in 1940." Barker urges that
I cut at least 10 per cent off "non-essential" fed-
eral expenditures. j
It is not quite clear whether Barker wants
to leave the foreign aid program standing and
shave the heads of the: home bureaucrats a little
closer; or cut foreign aid too. We are sure he. is
aware of the fact that considerable of this for-

The state highway commission on its spring

points along the lower Columbia highway are
getting impatient to have the kinks taken out
of that old (now much too old) highway. In
southern Oregon the heat was on for making
99 four-lane from Central Point; to Ashland. At
Roseburg they viewed alternates for routing
the Pacific highway through or around the city
and looked over possible relocation north
toward Cottage Grove. They found out, what
they already knew, that the $45,000,000, in bond

Yugoslav Leaders Know the Kremlin, and
They Offer Sincere j Warning to West World
By Joseph Alsop
BELGRADE, June 25 The re
markable group of men who run
this country have had a spec il
sort of training ?
denied to most .
other statesmen, s
As pre-war So
viet - agents, as
iront fighters in
Spain, as mem
bers of the com
munist u n der-
ground in the
old Yugoslavia,
4 friends and
almost equals
of the Kremlm r - -
la the honeymoon days after the
war, they learned to know Stalin
and the Soviet politburo at first
hand.
In the circumstances, there
f fore, their analysis of Soviet tac
, tics and intentions deserves a
very special sort of attention.
What these Yugoslav leaders
have to say and they talk both
brilliantly and freely nowadays,
.with none of the old constraints
is a grave warning to the whole
Western world. -
The warning is all" the more
arresting because It represents a
decided change of heart. In May
of last year, when: this reporter
was last in Belgrade, these Yugo
slav leaders were still reluctant
t believe that Stalin had utterly
abandoned the methods of Karl
Marx for those of Adolf Hitler.
At that time, Marshal Tito him
self argued that the Soviets
would never move without the
supoort of the broad masses." and
argued that there wa3 no need
for the west to rebuild Its de
fenses, because there was no
present danger of a Soviet resort
to naked force. Old faiths Indeed
die hard. '
The Krfan aggression was of
course the; event that killed this
last remnant of Yugoslav faith
in the Kremlin and its purposes.
During the summer's bitter
drought, .. the mounting alarm
here was expressed In a total
dedication! of ) the state to the
defense effort which the battered
national economy could ill af
ford. And, when the November
disaster on the Yalu river looked
like being . the prelude to total
defeat of f the United Nations'
forces in Korea, the ; Yugoslavs
expected the Kremlin to press its
advantage with a Chinese attack
on Indo-China in the late win
ter and a satellite invasion of this
country in the spring. -',
There are many reasons to be
lieve that these Yugoslav expec
tations were correct, and that if
events had substantiated Gen.
Mac-Arthur's prediction of in
evitable withdrawal from Korea,
Stalin would indeed have moved
at once to destroy the Western
position for good and all. For
tunately, a different outcome in
Korea confronted the Kremlin
with a different world situation.
In the opinion of their former
Yugoslav co-workers, the Soviet
rulers have now recoiled to seek
a better chance.
i 1 : ;
Hence, for ?the present, the
Kremlin is mainly seeking to di
vide and thus to. paralyze the
western alliance. Such is the,
opinion of every important man
In the government here includ
ing Marshal Tito, who has re
portedly warned against the dan
ger from his convalescent refuge
at BrionL This Soviet effort,
which is of course Intended to
open the way to a Kremlin tri
umph in Europe and Asia, is also
expected here to continue
through the summer and fall.
Here i tfce r-ason In turn whv
the Yugoslav leaders are so wide
ly quoted, in London for exam
pie, as "not fearing war." They
are asked whether they expect
an attack; they reply that there
Is no "immediate" danger: and
their questioners, who long to
hear! only what is pleasant, hast
ily pass on to another topic In
the same fashion, when the Yugo
slav chief of staff. Gen. Koca
Popovic, flatly told the American
joint chiefs that he expected war.
his warning was -rather lightly
dismissed as mere exaggeration
fox the occasion. "

tee that Oregon will -top other

Stand and vitality of Oregon
peppermint fields are below aver
age this year. Late freezes followed
by a cool dry spring have been un
favorable ' to peppermint, growth
in the Willamette valley. Some
fields which had been listed in
Oregon's big acreage this year
were taken j out and planted . to
other crops In late spring. Aphids
have been reportet "bad" in -number
of fields,
However, ! the USDA report
shows that the peppermint acreage
in the United States for harvest
this year is -four per cent smaller
than last year but seven per. cent
above the. 19 year average. The
USDA crop reporting .service es
timates 44,300 acres, for 1951 com
pared to 4a,200 acres harvested
last year and the 1940-49 average
of 41,300 acres. The parity ceiling
on peppermint oil at mid-May was
$7.30 a pound.
At the count early this spring.
Oregon had '14,700 acres of pep
permint, which is 100 acres more
than the 1950 total but almost
twice as much as average. Wash
ington shows more increase for.
1950 than any other state. Present
estimates show 1,000 acres in that
state. But while 6,000 seems low
compared to Oregon's 14,700 aetes,
this is still 900 . acres more than
Washington had On 1950.. Michi
gan's acreage is expected to be
slightly larger than. that at last
year. Michigan at one time topped
all other states in peppermint pro
duction in the nation but lias now
dropped to third place.
The 3,100 ! acre drop In Indiana
more than offsets the increase- in
other statesi But in spite of the
large drop in acreage this year,
Indiana still maintains its place
as second to Oregon in peppermint
acreage. Indiana expects to total
13,400 acres this year.

lieve that Yugoslavia will be at
tacked next spring, when the So
viet effort to split the west has .
run iits course and the satellite
rearmament has been completed.
A second group, a shade more
hopeful, merely regards war as
probable. And the men here who
see the future in the rosiest col
ors content themselves with say
ing, that war is decidedly possi
ble. These conflicts of emphasis
for they are hardly more than
this, have in turn been reconciled
by a formula that the astute For
eign Minister, Edward KardelJ,
Is reported to have offered the
Yugoslav central committee.
"We cannot tell what may hap
pen," he is quoted as having
said, "but at least the situation is
such that it would be a criminal
betrayal of our country not to
prepare for an attack with all
'urgency."
The reasoning behind this
Yugoslav analysis must wait un
til another report. Meanwhile
the ; Western leaders will dis
regard at their peril the warning
that this analysis implies.
