NEW YORK (AP)-The scene is
a future war. The American in
fantry is attacking.
Suddenly one platoon breaks
away from the advancing line and
zooms rapidly forward like a
swarm of angry bumblebees.
They take one hill ... two hills
. . . three hills ... as the star
tled enemy panics and flees,
Later the whole platoon is called
before the beaming general who
says:
"There has never been an ex
ploit to match this in the entire
annals of warfare. It's fantastic.
I am proud of you men, and I'm
recommending every one of you
for the Medal of Honor."
The members of' the platoon
look uneasily at one another. Fi
nally an honest private blurts out:
"Aw, hell, general, we ain't no
heroes. We just set our rear rock
et motors too high and couldn't
stop. If we hadn't run out of fuel,
we'd still be going."
This little fantasy could come
true f. a new portable rocket de
veloped by an ex-Army technical
sergeant works out. Strapped to
the rear of a doughboy it holds
promise of turning him into a
combination racehorse and ante
lope. "He can run faster, can jump
across rivers, scale walls and
cliffs, jump extraordinary heights
and not be tired when he gets
there," said Alexander H. Bohr,
the inventor.
' The rocket, details of which arc
still secret, doesn't quite enable
a soldier to fly, apparently, but
does give him. the cxhilerating
feeling he's a human cricket.
Several infantry veterans I dis
cussed the doughboy rocket with
were on the skeptical side.
"They're always thinking up
ways to get a dogface into battle
faster," said one. "What the dog
face himself wants Is a way to get
him out of battle altogether and
for this, there's no better gadget
than a general peace.
"It this rocket thing really
makes it easier to get about,"
said a second, "It'll take it at
least two generations to filter up
to the front lines. And even then
the rear area boys will keep all
the latest models for their own
convenience."
"One thing you do have to ad
mit," remarked a third. "It sure
is a hell of a handy Instrument
for going AWOL in a hurry."
"No, it won't," said a fourth.
"The military police will have
rockets with double motors."
And a fifth veteran observed:
"Well, the fly-boys have engi
neers to go along with them. This
rocket idea might not be so bad If
they assign a technician to every
dogface to carry his pack and
fix his motor. Lots of times in the
last war I could have used a va
let." The Army, of course, Is testing
dozens of ideas to make it easier
for the doughboy to do his task in
battle.
But no old infantryman ever be
lieves anyone will ever make his
job comfortable. Throughout his
tory he knows the problem of the
dogface has always been the
same. The picture is always the
same a scattered group of men
with a thousand-yard -stare in
their tired eyes stumbling up a
forlorn hill to root out a dug-in
enemy.
So it was on Normandy 14 years
ago this Friday behind the beach
stood the first of a thousand hills.
And so, the oldtimcrs believe, it
always will be for the infantry as
long as there arc wars.
Inflation IVnr
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK (AP - Fear of
more inflation is rising today in
spite of the industrial recession.
Some businessmen are calling
another rise in basic prices in
evitable even if the slump hangs
around for awhile yet. Still more
and these are particularly nu
merous in the stock market think
that the business upturn, when it
comes, will start otf a fresh and
perhaps vigorous inllation revival
Here are some of the factors
that are keeping the inflation is
sue alive today:-
Wages of many workers aro go
ing up, even trough their indus
tries may have much idle produc
tion facilities. Some ot these wage
boosts arc written inlo existing
contracts and some are in process
Of negotiation.
Steel executives arc saying thai
the automatic wage boost July 1
calls for a price rise to meet it.
How much of a price boost steel
mills can make slick until demand
improves nioie than it has of late

A wage hike of around 25 cents
an hour is coming Aug. 1 in the
aluminum industry. And some ex
ecutives are now warning that
this cannot be met without a price
increase too.
Here also there is a question of
naking a price hike stick. The
aluminum companies were forced
April 1 to cut the cost of pig from
26 cents a pound to 24 cents be
cause the domestic demand for
the metal had slackened and be
cause Soviet aluminum was being
sold in Europe at a lower level.
There are new reports from
England today that the Soviet Un
ion and its satellites are again
offering the metal there and on
considerably better terms than the
Americans and Canadians 8re.
And some American importers
find European aluminum cheaper
than American even after paying
the ocean freight.
Auto wage negotiations are sty
mied at the moment. But the
companies have offered to extend
the expired contracts for two more
years. These have built in annual
wage increases as well as cost
of living pay boosts when the gov
ernment index rises far enough.
The auto union wants even more
than this. y
Whatever new contract is final
ly negotiated is seems most likely
that some wage increase will be
included. And what happens to
car prices then?
The government has been, hand
ing out pay increases too. J he
armed services will get S76 mil
lion dollars a year more. Postal
employes will get 265 million and
Congress is in process of approv
ing 542 million dollars a year more
for other federal employes.
While this adds to the federal
deficit and in that sense is infla
tionary, like the other wage in
creases it has its silver lining for
businessmen. Already they are
eyeing as sales targets what is
left of this $1,383,000,000 more fed-
era! pay after taxes are met.
One inflationary factor that
seems certain now is the rise in
government spending, to be fi
nanced on borrowed money
The Treasury deficit in the new
fiscal year about to start is ex
pected to reach or top 11 billion
dollars. This means that the gov
ernment will be pumping into the
economy by its spending some 11
billion dollars more than it will
be taking out by taxing.
It was out of this , sort of gov
ernment spending the war and
postwar years that the seeds of
the inflation in the 1940s and 50s
were sown.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Maybe
we're being brainwashed. Nikita
Khrushchev, full of tricks, is
working on us overtime.
Time was, in the not so olden
days, when nations did business
through formal notes and stiff,
polite and frigid diplomatic visits.
This had its usefulness: a nation
which wanted to feel dignified or
superior could keep on doing so.
It was pretty much against the
rules to get a rock through the
front window or a palsy-walsy
shout across the back fence.
There's no doubt this country
for a long time felt superior to
tho Soviet Union. Then Nikita
Khrushchev bounced in, too round
and fat for a stuffed shirt.
Pretly soon, with his speeches
and statements broadcast to the
world, he began to drum it into
the world's consciousness that the
Soviet Union was anyone's equal.
Just as a nudge, in case there
was still doubt, the Soviets shot
up their Sputniks.
The past few months are a pret
ty good example of how the So

viets threw the old-fashioned rule
book out the window.
Khrushchev's running-mate, the
then Premier Bulganin, last De
cember dashed off a note to Pres
ident Eisenhower, proposing a
summit conference.
Then, without politely waiting
for this country to reveal the con
tents, the Soviets made the letter
public.
They made a summit confer
ence look simple. It was a we're-all-members-of-the-same-club
kind
of note.
The Soviets not only made them
selves look like jolly peacclovers
but got the idea across to the rest
of the world, no matter what the
effect here.
To make matters worse: before
Eisenhower answered this first
letter, Bulganin wrote him anoth
er. It's been that way ever since:
letter after letter.
When Khrushchev managed to
push Bulganin aside and took his
placa as premier, he borrowed his
pen too and kept on writing to
Eisenhower.
But the Soviet method towards
this country can be staled sim
ply: keep 'em off balance. Khru
shchev mixes his pilches.
At one time he writes or talks
togetherness; at another time, in
a speech somewhere or at a cock
tail party, he calls us warmong
ers. He talks one time of peaceful
coexistence and another of com
munism's taking over the world.
All the letters and statements
manage to get broadcast or re
ported. Pretty soon, having hopped over
the formal diplomatic barriers,
the Soviets had forced Eisenhow
er to write letters to them. If he
didn't, it would be just so much
more propaganda gravy for the
Soviets.
There can't be much doubt
now that everyone, inside or out
side the United States, is adjusted
to the idea the Soviets are etfual
to this country, and in some ways
superior. In missiles, for example
For ' a man like Secretary of
State Dulles, who has spent most
of his life in formal diplomacy,
this Soviet method of slap-'cm-on-the-back
and kick-'em-in-the-pants
must get disturbing.
As long ago as last Jan. 10 at
his news conference Dulles com
plained about the Bulganin letter
writing to Eisenhower.
He said the Soviets are using
the channols of communications
between the heads of government
as a means of what might be
called propaganda techniques
rather than to use them seriously,
as It seems to us befits messages
between heads of governments
given the 'serious slate of inter
national affairs."
Women Only

Supermarket clerks say that
shopping brings out the worst in
women.
A survey of the male clerks
show they believe women leave
their manners at home with their
glasses when they go to the super
market.
The clerks said bringing t h e
glasses, and the manners, might
help speed the shopping chore and
make it pleasantcr for all con
cerned. One clerk said he thought
all women are nearsighted be
cause the gals stop in front of
a display of food, then ask where
ihcy can find what is directly in
front of them.
The men who work in the gro
ceries also accused shopper of
being "woman drivers" with the
shopping cars. They said shoppers
insist on pushing the carts down
the middle of the aisles, causing
traffic Jams between the shelves

The survey found the worst side
of feminine loveliness pops up at
the check - out lines. The men
seemed most annoyed with the
shopper who puts her shopping
cart in line while she dashes off
to complete her selections.
The clerks were also annoyed
with the persons pushing well -filled
.carts who refuse to change
places in line with those with
small orders.
The men had much more to say
about the worst in women, but no
body has checked their shopping
habits lately.
, Let's fac4 it, the chemise is
here to stay for a while.
So, as long as you're out of
step out of a chemise you might
as well pick the sack that looks
the best on you.
Manufacturer Larry Aldrich sug
gests that you choose a two -piece
chemise with an overblouse
to hide a short, squat figure. He
said a bloused chemise will equal
ize wide hips and a flat chest,
and open front bodice will help
minimize wide hips and a full
bosom, and a split-level silhouette
will conceal a front bulge with
a sash or bow at the front hipline.
Better check your lighting be
fore you hire a baby sitter.
A court in Rutland, Vermont,
recently awarded $1,000 to a baby
sitter who suffered injuries when
she fell in the house. .
The jury ruled the parents
should have kept the passageway
well-lighted and in good repair be
fore they left Mrs. Blanche'Grang-
to care for their youngster.
A professor at Washington State
College warns, that modern dating
customs and what she calls the
itch to get hitched" tend to make
couples poor marriage partners.
Mrs. Florence Diesman said the
superficial banter during courtship
prevents the couple from getting
to know each other. The professor,
who teaches English said, "A girl
is encouraged to be the cute little
dish" with a fabulous line , who
makes a good dancing partner
rather than a real individual.
Mrs. Diesman challenged today's
woman to become an intelligent,
well-informed person. She said to
day's society demands that a wom
an be prepared to do more than
dry diapers and scrub floors.
Cat
I'roblem
By ELLIS RALL
LINCOLN, Nebraska (UPI)
When the dogs are away, the cats
will play.
That is the case here In Lin
oln, Nebraska, where canines aie
literally in the doghouse, and the
cats are cutting up.
The Lincoln Humane Society has
the dog population well under con
trol. But the cat problem has in
creased to a point where many res
idents are joining with the humane
society in protest.
The humane society recently or
dered a crackdown on loose dogs.
Owners o wandering pups are now
hauled into court and fined for vi
olating a city ordinance.,
The tighter enforcement of the
dog ordinance has produced re
sults. So far this year, only 85
dog bite complaints have been re
ceived by the humane society.
But while the dogs have been
put away, the cats have been play
ing, but a little too roughly-; to
suit Harold Deacon, humane so
ciety superintendent. He says his
ottice has processed 26 cases of
cat bite already this year.
Deacon appeared before the city
council recently and urged coun
cilmcn to adopt an ordinance
which would force cats to be li
censed. Deacon told the council
that 42 per cent of the calls to
the society are complaints about
cats.
The mayor of Lincoln listened
intently to the director and said,
"something must be worked out
for the humane society or the cat
problem will be dumped jnto the
city's lap."
Mayor Bennett Martin then in
structed his legal ' staff to draft
a new ordinance which would con
trol the cat problem.
When a cat licensing ordinance
was introduced a year ago, there
was considerable opposition. The
loudest protests were not against
licensing but a requirement that
cats wear an identification collar
or have an ear tattoo for' identi
fication purposes.
The new ordinance will get
around those objections by provid
ing for photographic identification
of all city cats.
Deacon says he will keep a pic
ture file on registered cats and it
he has his way the cats will be
"mugged" just like criminals.
There is considerable specula
tion that the photographic identifi
cation of cats will prove entirely
unsatisfactory.

To Be Moved
ANNA, 111. (AP)-The grave of
King Neptune, the nation s most
famous hog of World War II
which helped bring home the ba
con for Uncle Sam, is to be moved
to make way for a new road.
The hog, which has a monument
over its grave in Mng Neptune
Park near Anna, was auctioneer
off countless times for 19 million
dollars at war bond rallies from
1942-46.
The red and white porker was
given to the Navy recruiting sta
tion at Marion, 111., in 1942 as a
mascot. However, Don Lingle of
the' station had other ideas. He
named it King Neptune and of
fered it for sale at a war bond
auction. The buyer returned the
pig and Lingle toured southern
Illinois, selling and reselling the
animal to war bond buyers.
There were so many demands
for the' hog's appearance, Lingle
turned it over to a sponsoring
aeencv. During the next four
years King Neptune was featured
at hundreds of war Dona rallies.
When the prize porker appeared
headed for the stockyards, Lingle
intervened and regained posses
sion. He and friends set up a life
time pension for the hog. It died
in 1950 at age 9 and was buried
in royal style.
The Highway Department has
agreed to level off an area along
side the proposed new road for
reburial of King Neptune. Two
big oaks which have sheltered the
grave will be made into lumber
