Living Standards Of Mules Too High Washington (U.R) The Army can't even give away its mules abroad because they are used to too high a standard of living. That conclusion was reached after hearings before a House appropriations s u b c o mmittee. The "good life" has resulted in the virtual abandonment o f mules as pack animals and trans porters of mountain artillery, according to Maj. Gen. W. O. Reeder, deputy assistant chief of staff. The subcommittee learned from Reeder that in other coun tries, the American Army is at considerable disadvantage is using American mules. It has been principally because the mules "are accustomed to the same high standard of living as we are." As an example, the subcom mittee heard that when a ship ment of mules arrived in India, it was impossible to give them away because they ate more than any man except possibly a wealthy man. When asked how horses exist In the Orient, Reeder added that rich men have horses, "but they train them not to eat." The army's chief mule buyer, Maj. L. O. Hill, of the quarter master corps' remount branch, added that the 98 mules that the Army hopes to buy in fiscal 1953 will cost $200 each. D. C.
