Union generals were learning to subsist their arm ies on the country, eating what they could on the spot, carrying away what they could, i i kt i. came the new way of life to the common and destroying the rest. Foraging, then, be soldier. The picture above, for the Library of Congress collection, is a drawing by Arthur Lumley of troops on a foraging expedition. M:HR1AC.F. LICENSE AI'I'l.lllVriONB By MERTON T. AKERS United Prsts International In early 1863 the Civil War swept over the lush planta tions of Louisiana across the Mississippi River from the Con federate stronghold of Vicksburg. Only Vicksburg, Miss., and Port Hudson, La., both on the east bank of the river, stood between success and defeat for that part of the embattled Confederacy. If .the Confeder ates could save those two for tified places then their lifeline would continue to pump men and supplies across the river. If they lost, the end couio rje sighted. That was the strategy me generals were pondering. But a new kind of war for every day folk was devcloping-to- tal, modern war. tne i-ivu War was the first of these. The classic pattern of war - professionals fighting profes sionals with the populace largely undisturbed - was go ing out of style, wow me war was coming home to the Dlantatlon mansions wiin Norlh OitktlRle ave. and Nunrv Dariena Evam, 242 Beany it., Mcd ford. spring of 1863. She lived In a gracious but provincial life on Brokenburn .her mothers plantation of 1,260 acres in northern Louisiana across the Mississippi from Vicksburg. They had ISO slaves working the plantation, raising mostly cotton. Three of her brothers had gone to war, two younger ones remained at home. As the Federals began to Invest Vicksburg, they spilled into the country around Bro kenburn. On March 15, 1863, Kate wrote in her journal: "For the last two days we have been in a quiver of ex citement looking for Yankees every minute, sitting on the front gallery with our eyes strained in the direction they will come, going to bed late and getting up early so they will not find us asleep." The Yankees reached Bro kenburn on Friday, March 20.

Union generals were learn ing t subsist their armies on the country, eating what they could on the spot, carrying awav hordes of food and de stroying the rest. And In the twilight zone, free bootcrs op erated at will and with little quarter. Food Crises ' The story of what happened to the stay-at-homes, t wo men and boys and the old men when this new kind of war washed over the rich, black land of northern Loui siana, has come down in diar ies and journals of the women who lived through It and faced the day-by-day crises as they arose.

I called to one of the Negroes to open the gate, thinking it would give Wonka a chance to es cape, but as they seemed afraid, I ran to do it myself. When the wretch called me impudently to stop, I did not notice him but threw the gate open. He then dashed up with the pistol pointed at my head (I thought I had never seen such bright caps). . . I looked at him and ran to open the other gate. Just then Mamma called to me that they had caught the horse. . . In five minutes the man had changed saddles and was riding my prancing, beautiful pet gaily off leaving in his place a pack of animated bones, covered by sorrel skin. ... I cried the rest of the day and half of the night . . . Sad Incident I think I will never see lilac blooms again without re calling this sad incident." Six dHys later Kate went through a different sort of ex perience, this time at the hands of fractious slaves. Union troops freed the slaves as they occupied new terri tory. In some cases the slaves turned on their masters. On March 26 Kate and her younger sister, Amanda, visit ed the nearby plantation of Benjamin Hardison. "As we approached the house," Kate wrote, "it struck me that something was wrong. As we were going through the garden George Richards (a neighbor) came out and told us a party of Yankees and armed Negroes had just left, carrying with them every Ne gro on the place, most of Mrs. Hardison's and the children's clothes, and all the provisions they could manage . . , "We walked in and found Mrs. Hardison and the chil dren all much excited and very angry, with flaming cheeks and flashing eyes. The (irst armed Negroes they had ever seen. Just as we were seated, some one called out that the Yankees were coming again. It was too late to run. All we cnuld do was to shut ourselves together In one room, hoping they would not come in. ijcorge Richards was on the gallery. In a minute we heard the gate open and shut, rough coarse voices, a volley of oaths, and then a cry. i Shoot him! Curse him! Get out of the way so I can get him.' Looking out of the window, we saw three fiendish-looking black Negroes standing around George Richards, two with their guns leveled almost deathly pale but did not move. We thought he would be kill ed Instantly, and I shut my eyes that I might not see it. "But after a few words from George, which we could not hear, and another volley of curses, they lowered their guns and rushed into the house 'to look for guns' they said, but only to rob and ter rorize us. The Negroes were completely armed and there was no white man with them. We heard them ranging throught the house, cursing and laughing, and breaking things open. "Directly one came, burst ing into our room, a big black wretch, with the most inso lent swagger, talking all the time in a most insulting man ner. He went through all the drawers and wardrobe taking anything he fancied ... he lounged up to the bed where the baby was sleeping. Rais ing the bar, he started to take the child, saying as he waved the pistol, 'I ought to kill him. He may grow up to be a jar llla (guerrilla). Kill him!' Mrs. Hardison sprang to his side, snatched the baby up, and shrieked. 'Don't kill my baby. Don't kill him!' "The Negro turned away with a laugh and came over where I was sitting with Lit tle (Amanda) crouched close to me holding my hand. He came right up to qs standing on the hem of my dress while he looked me slowly over, gesticulating and snapping his pistol. He stood there about a minute, I suppose. It seemed to me an age. I felt like I would die should he touch me. I did not look up or move, and Little Sister was as still as if petrified. In an instant more he turned away with a most diabolical laugh, gath ered up his plunder, and went out. "I never was so frightened In my life. Mrs. Hardison said we both were as white as mar ble, and she was sure I would faint. What a wave of thank fulness swept over us when he went out and slammed the door . . . "Mr McPherson (another neighbor) and George were all the time on the gallery with Negroes guarding them with leveled guns. . . That evening Mrs. Stone de termined to move to Texas. It would be two years be fore Kate saw Brokenburn again. NO SUB BASES Washington - OIPD - Adm. George Anderson, chief of naval operations, believes the Russians have not built any submarine bases in Cuba. But, he said some of its ports have been used for refueling and overhaul. Expert on All Phases of Living In Apartments - Prefers House I truth." he Insists. "Our prod uct can stand it." Chicago-TCPl-William Riley is an expert in apartment liv ing, apartment building, apartment financing, apart ment maintenance and apart ment rentals. Yet apartments aren't his cup of tea. He lives in a house. "I live in a house because I want the children to be able to holler their heads off and not disturb my neighbors," said the 35-year-old president of the Riley Management Corp., Bellwood, 111. Extroverted and hard-driving, Riley entered the real estate business in 1957 after stints as a "runner" on Wall Street, a securities salesman and a mason contractor. But it wasn't easy. He was once a poor boy. He sold mag azines, delivered groceries, worked in a butcher shop and decided to go into business for himself-at the age of 10. He made lead soldiers. "Do you know how I got the lead to make my own soldiers? "In those days, the men who were working on con struction always had a lot of lead. I made a deal with them. I would supply them with ice water all day and they would toss me a little bit of lead as they quit. "Come to think of it, I got the ice water by cadging ice cubes off the housewives in the neighborhood." Kids today are ashamed to say they're poor, Riley said. "Maybe it would be just old-fashioned to say that hard work and hard scrabble is good training," he said. "I don't think it hurt me and it might be just the thing that the youngster starting out in business could use." Riley's rental techniques sell," hard sell, all the way. "Just as there is no such thing as a 'little pregnancy,' there is no such thing as a 'little vacancy,'" he believes, "because if there is a small percentage of vacancy it will breed more vacancy. "Rental income is the most perishable product in the world. Once lost, it can never be recovered." Riley Is a stickler for hon esty.

(UPD Chamber Assails Spending Plans Washington - IUPD - A spokesman for the U.S. Cham ber of Commerce Saturday as sailed "new spending" pro posals in President Kennedy's budget and listed 17 programs which he said should be dis carded or drastically cut. Edwin P. Neilan said in a statement that the programs seemed to be aimed at "woo ing the individual, the com munity and the farmer." "As desirable as some might be under normal con ditions, none of them appear to be as essential as the need for holding down federal spending and thus clearing i the way for tax relief," he 1 said. I Neilan, chairman of the ' board of the Bank of Dela ware in Wilmington, headed a chamber committee which ; studied the President's record , $90.5 billion budget. On the , basis of the study, the cham-' bcr recommended that $9.1 ' billion be cut. j Le Havre, France - ll'Ptl - A small English coastal freight er sank 13 miles out In the English Channel Sunday.
