Army Testing Mules For Efficiency In New-Style War Ft. Benning, Ga. (U.R) Tests are under way here in an effort to prove the Army mule is as useful In some phases of mili tary tactics as jet bombers and bullct-pioof vests are in others. Throe long-eared quadrupeds were brought to the huge infan try training center for the tests from Camp Carson, Colo. That's where the Army runs its only two. full-sized animal units for transport. The Idea is to determine just how much of an Infantry regi ment's equipment can be carried on the backs of mules. Special Saddles Everything from typewriters to mortars are being loaded on specially -designed saddles and hauled around over the Georgia countryside while observers keep careful cheek on the results. A mule is capable of carrying about 300 payload pounds on a 100-pound leather and iron sad die. One phase of the lest here is to determine If present standard pack ucccsorics are capable of packing the new infantry equip ment, Thompson taid.

Switzerland's Militiamen Ready To Defend Country Zurich U-ra I' nas Deen pointed out repeatedly that lit- tie swiuenana, wun -- 000 inhabitants, can boast of the eest army In Western Europe. That is not quite correct, as there is no standing army in Switzerland. Nevertheless, the unique or ganization of the militia enables Switzerland to mobilize a well- trained and well-equipped army of 500,000 with lightning-like rapidity. All troops would be in combat position less than 48 hours after the first alarm. A day later, this considerable force can be augmented by 200, 000 auxiliaries, home guards and air raid precaution units, re leasing the very last soldier for front service. A couple of years ago, the United Press checked mobiliza tion time on a non-com of a motorized Infantry unit. Within less than an hour after receiv ing his mobilization order by telephone, that man had Joined his unit at its point of assembly and the unit was ready for com bat. Always Prepartd Switzerland is one of the few European countries which re mained prepared for all eventu alities and was not enveigled to relax Its defense efforts by the dream of lasting peace. Training of officers and re cruits went on as usual and ex periences of other nations during World War II were continually tested and used for the modern ization of the Swiss defense. That was not always entirely feasible, as the Swiss qrmy, be ing a purely defensive one, can use only defensive weapons. It may only fight in Switzer land and never cross the Swiss frontiers; it never goes Into ac tion unless Switzerland's liberty and neutrality Is threatened by foreign aggression. Swiss neutrality is often mis understood. It Is traditionally an armed neutrality and the Swiss army fights any aggressor. Ac cording to international treaties, the European powers are ob liged to support the Swiss In every way, whenever they are forced to take up arms against an invader. Plans Changd During World War II, the Swiss general staff first intend ed to defend the Swiss frontiers and created a system of defense positions along the border. Later on the defense lines were re moved further inland. Finally, when Switzerland be came completely isolated, the Swiss General Henri Guisan de veloped the idea of the "Swiss Redoubt," which consisted o( heavily foitifving the entire massif of the Alps. The Idea was that In case of aggression, the Swiss army would abandon the lowlands and cities to the enemy and retire into the practically imurcgnable Alpine fortress. There enough food and ammunition had been stored to enable it to hold out for nearly two years, In the course of the moderni zation of tiie army, it's equip ment and its strategy, It was realized from other nations' ex periences during World War II that purely defensive action of the Swiss army in case of in vasion would put It at a disad vantage right from the begin- ning. Consequently, a new "offen sive defense" strategy was de veloped It consisted of offen sive operations within a general offensive idea, for which the character of the country at the foot of 1 lie mountainous regions with its woods, hills and ravines offered ideal conditions. Basis of Strength The real strength of the Swiss army essentially an army of light infantry lies in Switzer land's old tradition, and in the fact that every Swiss citizen is. at the same time, a soldier. He keeps his arms, ammuni tion, accoutrements and uniform at home, and Is responsible for their upkeep. Consequently, every able-bod led civilian can change into t soldier within five minutes. His arms are of the best, his train ing, which if extremely itrenu- Jazz, White Doves Wedding Features Of Drummer, Bride Chicago U.R "Jazz Me Blues" replaced "Oh Promise Me" and a pair of white doves flitted overhead as drummer Claude Everett (Hey-Hey) Hum phrey was wed in the saloon where he makes a living pound ing out Dixieland jazz. Hey-Hey, who punctuates most of his conversation with happy "hey heys" and "whoo whoos," exchanged vows with Miss Doro thy (Dodo) Eitel near the bar of the 1111 club Sunday night. Humphrey's maestro, Johnny Lane, and Lane's jazz band were joined by Jimmy Isle's Dixie landers and other guest musi cians tin a knockdown version of Lohengrin. Justice Rudolph Basta stood before a nude statue as the couple marched to the "altar" to the strains of "Fidgety Feet." Two caged white doves hung over the couple's heads while Basta declared them man and wife. There was a short delay when Hey-Hey attempted to kiss the bride ahead of schedule. New Attempt Slated In Strike Settlement Tacoma (U.R) A conciliator was scheduled to try bringing striking pressmen and Tacoma News-Tribune officials together in a renewal of negotiations Monday as the dispute which has shut down this city's only daily newspaper continued in its second week. Talks between management and the pressmen broke down last week as the strikers held lo their demand for an hourly As We Live . . . By DR. ELIZABETH HURLOCK BEATEN WIFE SHOULD TRY EFFECT OF SEPARATION "I am 32 years old and have been married 12 years. My husband says ha loves me but he beats ml. If I do something he doesn't want me to do. he gets in a high temper. Then ha says ha is sorry. I forgive him but it happens again. We have no children and I work. I don't know whether I love him or not any more. Should I break up or not? After so many years, do you think he will change?" Mrs. T. W. (A) A leopard never changes his spots, so the old saying goes, and neither, do people change their personalities. After a per son has reached maturity, his personality is pretty well set for life. Any change that may take place is to intensify the traits already present. As for breaking up your mar riage after 12 years, that is a pretty serious step to consider. Would it not be better to try a separation and see what that will do to bring about improve ments in your relationships with your husband? May Try to Change So long as a person is willing to take any kind of treatment there is not likely to be a change. But if your husband sees that you will no longer tol erate his mistreatment, he may try to mend his ways. Since you have no children to consider, and since you are working, it will be easy for you to try a separation. Let your husband know plainly why you are leaving him and also that you are willing to return when you have his promise for better treatment. When a person has a violent temper which he has never learned to control, he has a hard job on his hands learning that control when he is a mature man. You must expect mm to fly into fits of rage occasionally, even if he has given you nis solemn promise that he will not. No Excuse However, there is no excuse whatever for him to take his rage out on you. No man has a right to beat or even to strike a woman. Let him know that his mistreatment of you is killing your love for him. He must de cide whether your love is worth trying to save. If you have a personal prob lem, write Elizabeth Hurlock in care of this newspaper. (Copyright 1952, General Features Corp.)

You must be rolling in dough. How about answering this one What do you do with all the money you make?" The answer is a matter of public record. It's in the reports we make regularly, both to shareholders and to the public. But in brief after we've paid for materials, wages, employee benefits, and miscellaneous expenses . . . wear and tear on plants and equipment . . . interest on our long-term debts . . . and, in the last 5 years, more than $405,000,000 in taxes then what's left, the "money we make," goes this way: Exploration here and abroad has cost us more than $229,000,000 in the last 5 years. Known crude reserves are at an all-time high. But these deposits were the easiest to discover. Though the earth holds vast hidden reserves, it now costs many, millions to find each new field needed to assure you of continuing sup plies of petroleum products. And Anally, after setting aside funds for future operation, we distribute to our more than 100,000 shareholders what money re mainslast year $2.60 a share, their return on savings invested.
