Smaller, More Mobile Forces Are
Favored to Prevent Little Wars
Corvallis Smaller and more
mobile U.S. and allied armed
forces as part of a world-wide
cut in arms and support of a
United Nations police force to
stop "little wars" were favored
by Oregon "Great Decisions"
discussion groups voting on
"What U.S. Military Strategy in
the Nuclear Age?"
Ballots from 300 discussion
groups in 22 Oregon counties
were tabulated last week by
Oregon State college extension
service. This was the seventh in
a series of eight foreign policy
i.ocues for the 1957 Great Deci
sions program.
Q$iHtary Strategy
On the question of basic mili
tary strategy for the U.S., Ore
rjcm ballots rated policy alterna
tes in the following order:
fifty per cent though the U.S.
pould try to build armed forces,
along with its allies, that are
better equipped and more mo
bile than communist forces even
though they may not be so nu
merous. Twenty-two per cent favored
a similar approach in finding a
workable compromise between
a few well-armed, mobile troop
units and a comfortable civilian
economy in which the military
budget is not a burden.
Another 22 per cent said the
U.S. should realize that it can
not match Russia man for man
and should build a super "retal
iatory" force only, concentrat
ing on aircraft and new weap
ons. This would leave supply of
ground troops to U.S. allies.
Least popular, of alternatives
to the question was the building
of . armed forces to protect the
continental U.S. without regard
to the rest of the world.
Prepare for Attack
On the question of how to pre
pare for a possible surprise at
tack, alternatives were rated as
follows:
Twenty-two per cent thought
the U.S. should step up construc
tion of radar and other warning
systems in the U.S.
Twenty-one per cent would
raise armed forces pay and bene
fits to build a "professional"
military establishment followed
by a cut or elimination of the
draft.
Nineteen per cent favored
stepping up civil defense meas
ures on a state and local basis.
Six other alternatives for pre
paring against surprise attacks
divided the remaining votes
with virtually no ballots favor
ing such approaches as longer
draft period for better training
or stationing of more troops
overseas to increase "the realia-

day. A similar shower was held
at Central Point Tuesday for
Mrs. Kent Clark. Both showered
ladies were former residents of
this community.
The last meeting of the local
Community Club drew a much
smaller attendance than .usual.
Following the- business meeting,

Nursery stock moving from
the Gordon Kershaw nursery
here is taken to his other plant
in the Antelope district, where
a grafting machine imported
from France, and made over by
Kershaw, does a complete job of
putting in the grafts even to the
waxing. Gordon has a knack of
making a machine do its job,
even if he has to make it com
pletely over, as he did this one,
which now will turn out between
7,000 and 10,r00 grafts per day.
During a conversation with a
lady who resides on Beall Lane,
she told us she was worried
about getting in her crops, due
to weather conditions. When we
told her she didn't need to wor
ry, as there was already a sur
plus of what crops she would
raise. In reply, she said she
didn't have any surplus money
to pay her taxes. Social secur
ity was mentioned, and we told
her we didn't think she could
get social security, because of
the age requirements, and she
said she didn't think we were
old enough to qualify. So it
looks to us as if both had done
our good deed for the day with
out knowing it.

Policy Alternatives
Policy alternatives to handle
any "little wars" that may break
out were balloted in the follow
ing order:
Forty-nine per cent thought
the U.S. should support a per
manent UN police force and see
to it that the UN has enough
authority and power Jo stop "lit
tle wars."
Twenty-nine per cent favored
equipping U.S. armies with both
conventional and atomic weap
ons. The type used would de
pend upon circumstances.
Twenty per cent said 4he U.S.
should build more air transport
planes for rapid troop movement
to trouble spots.
Alternatives for the U.S. to
prevent an all-out World War III
received the following votes:
World-Wide Arm Cut
Forty-eight per cent said the
country should try for a world
wide cut in arms. At the same
time, the U.S. should build up
the UN as keeper of the peace
and press for a permanent UN
military force with authority
and strength to act in emergen
cies. Next most popular alternative
with 13 per cent of the vote rec
ommended negotiations with
Russia for arms cut and a gen
eral political settlement of all
outstanding problems.
Third place alternative with
11 per cent of the ballots called
for withdrawal of U.S. troops
from Europe if Russia will with
draw from Eastern Europe, as
part of an arms cut agreement.

n6riculture reports from two

his Siamese cat, Nichol, who had
left his bed and board some two

Later, Nichol was discovered in
the center of a bramble patch,
and all the coaxing, talk and
tempting food, failed to get him
to come forth, until a girl cat
brought to the scene, gave out a
coquetish meow, which brought
him out on the double. However,
his new love didn't last, and
Nichol is on the prowl again.

To the Parents
of a Genius
If your child is blessed with a
brilliant mind, you probably
plan to send him to one of the
country's finest colleges. And
you should. He deserves the
best education our system has
to offer. Yet, even with his rare
gift, can you be sure that the
college of his choice will be
ready for him?
Today the pressure of col
lege applications is mounting
fast. It's expected to double by
1967. Our colleges and univer
sities are doing their best to
meet the challenge, but they are
hampered by lack- of funds.
Not only expanded facilities ars
needed, but more and well-paid
professors and instructors to
maintain scholastic standards.
America needs, in addition to
its quota of geniuses, intelli
gent, educated people as never
before. For the sake of your
children and the future of your
country, help the colleges and
universities of your choice
