The whine of the bullets and the explosion of the mines help the soldier to overcome the frightful noise of battle which may paralyze him with tear the first time he is in combat.

J., Dec. 15 0J.F9 Police reported that Charles Ho sack, 35, slashed the throats of two of his three children today, while his wife was out borrow ing a cup of sugar, and then cut his own wrists. .The chil dren died. His condition is criti cal. He had been under treat ment for a mental disturbance. Oso Mill mhuoe Want Ada, fered a change of heart. He's still one of the toughest "fight in'est" men In the army. But the war department finally has re alized that the soldier is a valu able piece of government prop erty, not to be crippled for life by an MP the first time he steps out of line. Here at the military police re placement training center, where gentlemen MPs get their basic training, the men go through a tough 17-week course that turns them Into small-arms experts adept at street fighting and hand-to-hand combat. . The men are trained in the use of rifles, tommy guns, machine guns, carbines revolvers, hand grenades, mortars and the stick, with emphasis on discretionary use of the latter. If the man he Is after Is the enemy, the MP can use the com mando tactics he's taught In Ju Jitsu classes but if he is an un ruly soldier,. treat him gently but firmly, using Just enough pres sure to make him step back into line. "Never bring your stick down squarely on a soldier s skull, the MP is told, "but hit him a light, glancing blow on the tem ple and knock him out; or slap him on the back of the upper leg Just hard enough to paralyze a muscle for a few minutes. But, above all, don't cripple him Medical treatment for soldiers costs money. Hollywood movies have led us to believe that all an MP does is keep soldiers on the street looking GI and. breaking up fights with sailors, This is true so far as It goes. The MP is the man who quietly tells a soldier to "button up when he sees him walking down the street with his coat open. And when it comes to fighting. he still is a pretty tough guy to contend with. But the MPs here are trained primarily for combat duty. When a landing barge carries a group of soldiers ashore on an inva sion, you nearly always find a man with an MP brassard on his arm in it. His job is to direct traffic and keep equipment flow ing freely inland to supply the fighting men. ' In one Instance In the Tunis ian campaign, when Rommel's Afrlka Korps was pounding the Yanks with more than they could handle, and a retreat was or dered, a detail of MPs was told to stay behind . until every ve hicle had been directed through the area being evacuated. In that case alone, 27 MPs were lost. They, too, are expendable. . The military police also do "mop-up" work. When an army has the enemy on the run, it may by-pass a town where some of the foe are entrenched and let the MPs go in and clean them out. This Is where they use the street-fighting tactics taught at Fort Custer, where a dummy village, "HltlervUle," has been constructed to give them experi ence in cleaning snipers out of buildings. They work In teams of three. While a machine-gunner plays a stream of bullets down the street where land mines explode to simulate artillery fire, the men creep from building to building, cleaning out the town. The ad vance man in the team carries a pistol. He is covered by the tommy-gunner. The third man carries a carbine. He remains some distance behind his two companions to pick off any en- In 1913 the Willamette Uni versity medical department was merged with the University of Oregon Medical School in Port land, making the institution the sole medical school in the Pa cific northwest.
