Comment On This and That
By HARMAN
United Pre
Washington OJ.R) Don't
get sassy with any man you hap
pen to meet in the street who
is wearing a
green felt
beret cocked
over his right
eye.
He'll be all
man, and if
he's in a vile
mood he may
haul off and
clobber you
one.
Like as not,
Harman Nichols if you look
him over you'll find that he
sports "jump wings" on his chest
and happens to be one of the
U. S. Army's most versatile sold
iers. The beret was not of the tough
man's choosing, but it is part of
his new official get-up.
The soldier with the beret will
be a member of She of the 15
iew teams which comprise the
?7th Special Forces Group all
airborne. If the shooting busi
ness comes again, this fellow
and his team-mates will have the
job of organizing and directing
"pro-Democratic" guerrilla bands
behind the lines.
Colorado Base.
The home station of the new
outfit is at Fort Bragg, N. C,
but the vanguard at the moment
is located at the Mountain and
Cold Weather Training Com
mand at Fort Carson, Colo.
Not every soldier can make
the grade. The man in the green
beret has to be a sly one, and,
(actually, you may never bump
into him on the street.
This guy is handpicked. He
may be a medic, a weapons or
demolition expert, a linguist, a
radio operator, or all of these
rolled into one?
His special training starts
when he volunteers for paratroop
jump-school, after eight weeks
of rough and tumble basic train
ing. If man is high up in his
class-s a parachuter he can vol
unteer for the Special Forces.
Ahead of the lads who have the
courage to raise a hand on this
detail are months and months of
rugged training. Some make
It, some don't. Men here are
separated from boys.
Thorough Training
First, there is a half year
course in psychological warfare.
Study of things like communica
tions, medical aid, tactics, weap
ons and more airborne training.
Later, the tough boys get
schooling in mountain climbing,

All of this isn't easy, fellows,
in case you think of joining the
Special Corps. The medic team,
for example, has to be able to
perform amputations in the field
and clip out an ailing appendix,
or rip out an infected tonsil.
In addition, each fellow has to
be an experienced butcher. He
must be able to dissect a chicken
or break up the shank of a steer.
He must learn how to live off
the land and shoot or fish for his
own living, if necessary.
The line isn't very long, men.
It forms on the left, as usual.
Harriman Not Gagged
In Talk at Eugene
Eugene (U.R) Dr. O. Mere
dith Wilson, president of the
University of Oregon, and Dr.
William C. Jones, dean of ad
ministration, today emphasized
that no "gag" had been placed
on Gov. Averell Harriman of
New York when he spoke on
the campus recently.
Dr. A. L. Strand, president of
Oregon State College, said earl
ier that Harriman's speech was
a "flop" because he avoided poli
tics. Dr. Wilson lauded Dr. Strand's
open invitation to politicians of
all stripes to speak on the Cor
vallis campus and confirmed that
the same policy prevails at the
University. He said the only re
striction placed on political
speakers was to ask them to re
frain from campaigning for any
individual candidates but to
"clarify major policy issues."
Dr. Jones said both political
parties were asked not to turn
school assemblies into political
rallies by filling the platfprm
with non-speaking party .leaders
or by distributing party leaflets.
Nine Slot Machines
Seized at Coos Bay
Coos Bay (U.R) Nine slot
machines were confiscated by
county authorities yesterday in
a raid on the Coos Bay Elks club.
Club officials later pleaded
guilty to illegal possession of
gambling devices, and paid a
$100 .fine and $450 in costs.
The raid, conducted on a pii
vate complaint, was staged by
Coos county sheriff's deputies,
state police, representatives ,of
the district attorney's office and
Coos Bay police.

Amended Benefit
Rights Computed
By State Office
Salem (U.R) Amended bene
fit rights of more than 52,000
workers who have filed claims
for the 1955-56 benefit year have
been computed and are being
distributed at 26 local employ
ment offices, according to the
State Unemployment Compensa
tion Commission.
The distribution is in prepara
tion for the change-over Jan. 1
to the new schedule adopted by
the 1955 Legislature.
Active claimants already have
received their changed determi
nations; and the remainder will
get them by mail next week.
This is but one feature of the
amended unemployment law,
most of which goes into effect
next year and for which an ex
tra appropriation to hire addi
tional personnel has been' au
thorized by the State Emergency
Board.
Higher Weekly Checks
A study based on earnings of
20,000 claimants during the sum
mer indicates 60 to 65 per cent
will get highly weekly checks,
while nearly a third will get
smaller amounts. Half of the
latter group will be ineligible
because of the requirement for
$700 minimum base year earn
ings or at least 37 times the
weekly amount. A small group
will receive about the same size
check, but the average is ex
pected to increase from $22 to
around $29 or $30 a week.
