Hem tucked sway In the' army
appropriation trill but it' gives
significant insight Into how war
department planners are thinking
In terms of a next war. The item
is 81430000 for horses.
Not a single cavalry operations
has been used in the entire war.
On the contrary the Russians and
British are now concentrating all
their future war experimentation
on rocket bombs which they think
eventually can reach the moon.
Meanwhile a German document
has come to light whereby their
scientists and industrialists are
instructed to begin research tor
new war weapons.
Yet U. S. army chiefs are still
spending money on horses and
asking for peacetime conscription
of the type France had before she
fan in 1840.
In the new army appropriation
bill the budget bureau scaled the
armys horse allowance doom to
1240000 which included the
cost of breeding plus the purchase
of 338 new riding horses. How-
ever the army maneuvering
backstage got Congressman Case
of Custer S. D. a city which still
lives on the memory of that cavalry-riding
trid Indian lighter
Gen. Custer to insert an addition-
al 3100000 in the bill. This would
purchase about 1000 new riding
horns.
In other words It looks as if
the army was sliding right back
to its old peacetime ideas when
it used to battle every year with
Congressman Boss Collins of Mis-
sissippi the man who insisted
that the army accept an appro-
priation to buy tanks and its first
flying fortress when the brass hats
wanted neither.
Quizzing Gen. John T. Preston
then inspector .general of the
army. Congressman Collins once
inquired about why the taxpay-
ers needed to spend money for
horses at San Antonio an aviation
bate. Are they for the officers
or the women folk? Collins
For the officers the inspector
general replied.
"For airplane duty? the con-
gressman persisted.
For airplane duty" Gen. Kea-
ton replied aolemnly.
They must ha flying steeds
grunted the congressman from
Missizsippi.
Ant vsTland
On April 3 this column told
how army advocates of a trig lend
army and peacetime conscription
got busy about three months ago
and drew up plana whereby the
air force would be reduced to the
lame (ixe it ms in 1838 about
1SJIOO men. This would make it
one of the smallest air fracas In
the world with few modern planes
and little money for experiments-
tioxu -On the same day tills column
was published Gen. Hap Arnold
by pure coincidence submitted a
violent protest against this skele-
tonized air set-up. Arnold used
lMguaga which only he can use
to warn that the U. S. would be
in for disaster if we did not keep
a Mg air force and allow money
px developing new types of
As a result the old-line army
boys beat a hasty retreat. A new
plan increasing the air corps 500
per cent over 1033 is now pro-
posed It would give the air force
around 100000 men. However the
brass hats still want a Mg land
army of a couple of million con-
scripted men.
TEGMAN REVIEWS
JAF WAS
Fra about 33 years the air force
has been hoping they would be
given an opportunity to report di-
rect to the president on their ver-
sion of how a war should be
fought. This opportunity came at
last when two weeks ago. Presi-
dent Truman requested the sir
force to present their plan on how
Japan could be defeated with the
most economical cost In human
lives.
A military plan against Japan
had been worked out under Roose-
velt but when Truman came In
he thought it wise to review the
whole matter. Therefore he asked
the three major services the
navy the army and the army air
forces to present tlieir plans on
the most effective strategy for de-
feating Japan.
It Is no secret that the armys
plan long has called fra a mass
attack by land troupe. Discussion
of this has been quite open. How-
ever the sir forces have believed
that by stepping up the bombing
of Japan by wiping out all fac-
tories and making the entire pop-
ulation homeless they might lie
able to force a surrender without
a mass invasion always costly in
human lives. Even if they could
not force a surrender air-force
strategists have believed they
could so pulverize Japan that
about 400900 American lives
could be saved during any later
Invasion.
It was expected that the army
navy and army air forces would
each report their plans direct to
the White House. However un-
known to President Truman Gen
Marshal chief of staff went to
Gen. Ira Raker who commands
the air forces in Gen. Arnold's
absence and asked him nut to
submit a separate air-forces re-
port In other worde to gn along
with the army's invasion plan.
Gen. Eaker bowed to his su-
perior Gen. Marshall. So Presi-
dent Truman will get no separate
report from the air forces dis-
agreeing with the land-army
strategists.
Many air -forces insiders art
boiling mad at this. So certain
senators particularly A. B. Chand-
ler of Kentucky a member of the
senate military affairs committee
Man to do some probing 08 the
matter.

Freed Sooners
Arrive At BGH
Sooners who have been prison-
era at war in Germany continue to
arrive at Borden General hos-
pital. This week's arrival Included
T5 George W. King Sterling and
8Sgt. Leonard E. Jones Clinton.
Both were granted panel to visit
relatives upon arriving at Borden.
In fact. SSgt. Jones was on pass
when T5 King told of his experi-

"The first prison camp I was in
was at Gearlstein Germany where
I had to work a month under bed
conditions. There was snow on
the ground and we lived In a two-
story building with half the win-
dows out. There were no blankets
and no stoves. We Just froze and
thought about food.
"From there we were taken to
Limburg prison. We hiked for
three days and then were put on
box cars 87 to a car where we
stood up for two days and three
nights.
They were kept at Limburg
for a month and were not required
to work. Body lice there were so
bad they nearly ate us alive he
said.
After a sevea-day trip in bax
ears they were taken to Camp

got off the train that I couldn't

heard rumors that we were about
to be liberated and hoped that if
we remained there a few days the
Allies would catch up with us.
However we were moved again
this time to a British merchant

Mnrlag Nord 10-C. We were there
three weeks until we were lib-

Municipal Airport
Operation Talked
With CAA Officials
The future of W & B flying
school property and the possibility
of opening a municipal airport
were discussed in detail in Okla-
homa City Tuesday at a meeting
of Chlckasha representatives with
federal officials.
The local group made up of
Bone Smith Mayra J. Jay Con-
rad Harry Pitzer. Owen Vaughn
city attorney and Dave Vandivier
conferred fra over an hour with
R. D. Wilber of the Defense Plant
corporation and later discussed
municipal airport operations with
CAA officials.
f The DPC does not expect to
use the field for plane or
materiel storage.
2DPC officials expect the
buildings to be placed on the
market for sale. (Possibly several
months may elapse before this is
done.)
W Mr. Wilbur suggested the
group meet with the city
council in the Immediate future
and formulate a new lease for
presentation to Washington head-
quarters. 1
It was Indicated that the DPC
would cancel Its lease with the
city on the 640-acre flying field
would sign a new lease on the
60-acre tract on which the build
tags are located lease one hangar
to the city for airport operations.
While DPC officials would make
no commitments it wmj indicated
the agency would pay a fair rental
on the 80-acre tract It was also
suggested that the lease carry a
six mnntrs cancelation provision.
Operation of municipal airports
was discussed at length with CAA
officials. Based on experience of
other cities it is likely Chlckasha
would make a contract for the
operation of the field with a single
individual or firm. The field and
facilities of course wimld be open
to all on the same basis.
Pending working out of new
lease arrangements with the DPC
it was Indicated no action would
I be taken regarding the operation
of the field when ti is returned

formation would be sought on the

A movement to win the quickest
j possible ratification for the United
Nations charter grew among con-
ference delegates today. It whs
spurred on by President Truman's
urgent plea to make the now
world peace plan a living thing.
The chief executive himself
after making the final address of
the 9-week conference yesterday
is cn route to Washington by way
of his tonne at Independence Mo-
tc carry the dinrter formally and
personally before the senate next
Monday.
"I am sure he told the dele-
gates of 50 nations here "that
the overwhelming sentiment of
the people of my country and of
tlieir representatives in the senate
is in favor of immediate ratifica-
tion. An Associated Press psU
which reached 26 of the delega-
tions showed that 26 ef the 26
expect their as lions to ratify
the charter this year.

snee two Americans of tlie Amer-
ican delegation will open the drive
for quick ratification. Chairman

eign relations committee and Sen.
