West German Border 'Police Force'
Offers Glimpse of Future Soldier
Editor's Note: "West German Army"
exists only on paper nntil the Paris
agreement authorizing its existence is
ratified by members of the North
Atlantic treaty Organization. But
West Germany already has soldiers,
a 20,600-man border "police" force.
Though they are few in number they
offer a glimpse of how the futnre
German soldier will look and act.
Munich, Germany U.R) He
looks familiar. He wears a "coal
scuttle" helmet and jack boots,
and except for the absence of
Nazi insignia he might be mis
taken for his father or big
brother who goosestepped to
disaster in the Wehrmacht.
He is the new soldier of a re
vived Germany. His eyes are not
turned toward France, Britain
and the West but toward a po
tential enemy in the East.
The 12division West German
army will exist only on paper
until the NATO nations ratify
the Paris agreements authoriz
ing its existence. But until then
West Germany is allowed to
maintain a 20,000-man border
"police" force.
It is organized along military
lines and forms a nucleus for
the future army. Allied observ
ers got a close look at the bud
ding military strength of the
new Germany when the border
police conducted maneuvers re
cently in Bavaria.
Almost to a man, the border
guards exhibited the ironclad
morale that has always been a
byword with the German army.
The average border patrolman
is around 20 years old. He has
never been in battle, and the
crushing defeat of Hitler's army
is a childhood memory to him.

Dairy Industry Given
Praise by Speaker;
Advantages Described
Jackson county's dairy indus
try is virtually 100 per cent a
home industry, contributing to
the livelihood of local people
and adding to the economic
wealth of this area from the
time the cow eats "feed until
milk is consumed in the home,
according to Glenn H. Lay, ex
ecutive secretary of the Oregon
, Dairy Products commission.
Speaking at the Medford Ro
tary clubs Tuesday luncheon at
the Jackson hotel, Lay pointed
out that Jackson county people
grow and prepare feed for dairy
cows, equipment for care and
milking are purchased locally,
and labor for farm structures is
from home sources. .Traveling
further the economic contribu
tion of the .industry to the
wealth of this area, the speaker
cited the transportation phase in
purchase here of trucks, gaso-
: line, tires and repair.
Families Supported
Many local families are. sup
ported through payrolls of pro
cessing plants and stores and
restaurants add to their liveli
hood from substantial sales of
dairy foods, he pointed out.
From farm to consumer, this
industry benefits more people
locally . than almost any other
industry with most of the bene
fits remaining right here in this
community, Lay stated.
, Recalling the role of dairymen
in the last war, Lay said that
the needs of the nation and half
of the hungry world were met
through expansion . programs
and more efficient operations.
These wartime advances have
been retained and improved, he
said. Surpluses of dairy foods
could be quickly eliminated if
every person in the U.S. consum
ed an additional 1V4 ounces of
these foods each day, he stated.
The Jackson county dairy in
dustry is doing something about
its own surplus problem, the
speaker said. Employing mod
ern research and the facilities
of the American Dairy associa
tion, local milk producers have
determined the likes and dislikes
of . dairy food consumers here,
and are doing a creditable job
of making their products avail
able in a manner preferred by
the public, according to the
speaker. '
It is now a proven scientific
fact that the minimum daily re
quirement is at least a quart of
milk for each growing child and
never less than three glasses per
day for adults, Lay said. And if
children eat properly 30 per cent
of their daily intake is dairy
foods. The dairy industry here,
through the Oregon Dairy coun
cil, is supplying valuable nu
tritional information about foods
in schools, he said.
Lay said the tempo of present
day living calls for energy-buil-ing
milk, which contributes
more nutrition per calorie than
any other food. Milk provides
needed calcium, helps to relax,
promotes sleep, and should be
included on all reducing diets
because it satisfies hunger while
producing energy, he concluded.

"We who have been to Russia
know the kind of war we would
have to fight if the Reds at
tacked," said Capt.' Peter Muel
ler, an intelligence officer. He
fought for three years on the
Eastern front and was wounded
12 times.
"We cannot possibly match
the Eastern forces in manpower
so we must organize a force of
smart fighters and equip them
well enough so that they can
stand off an army superior in
numbers," he said.
The border policeman's uni
form includes the "coal scuttle"
helmet which was a German
trademark in two world wars.
The famous jack boots at first
were discarded in favor of the
American style combat boots but
then were restored.
Less Marching
The new German soldier
marches less than his predeces
sor did. To keep the border po
lice force highly mobile, speedy
diesel trucks that seat a 30-man
platoon are used.
A stripped down convertible
sedan also is employed as a pa
trol car, and officials are test
ing a "Deek," which is a four
passenger car similar to the
American Jeep.
The heaviest weapon the bor
der police can use is the Ger
man nine millimeter pistol,
about the size of a U.S. .32 cali
ber pistol, and a machine pistol
of the same caliber. The force
also has a standard carbine as
big as an American .30 caliber
rifle. All these weapons date
back to eWorld. War II.
After German sovereignty is
returned, the border police are
expected to be authorized to
carry heavier arms principally
larger caliber machine guns.
Their weapons will be planned
to match anything the German
Communists have on the oppo
site side of border fences.
