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

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.

We've been asked. 'What do you do with all the money you make?"

Standard's income, as reported in the news, sojnetimes raises suck comments as: "You people do a lot of business. 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. So almost all the "money
we make" goes right back into circulation.
We Invest In research and technical 'ill J rSv

We put funds into facilities in the
last 5 years, more than $644,000,000.
The nation's appetite for oU products
keeps growing, especially here in the
West. So Standard must not only re
place old wells but also increase total
crude production, and add to the ca
pacity of its refineries, pipelines, tank
ers, and all the other things we need
to serve you well.
