Army Educational Standards
•THE knowledge that thounandu of young men have been
1 rejeeted for military nervice because of educational
deficiencies came as quite a shock to most of us. Educators
were aroused, congressmen deplored, and people generally
• felt a little less amug about our progresslveness.
Now comes a report by Metropolitan Life Insurance
company statisticians which reveals that the fight against
illiteracy isn’t going so badly us one might think. In the
years from 1920 to 1940 oar illiteracy percentage was re-
duced more than 75 percent in the age groups from 25 to
29.
What caused all the concern in connection with the
draft, the report states, was the exacting mental and edu-
cational demands of modern warfare. High military stand-
ards, not high illiteracy, seem to have been the story be-
hind most of the rejections.
This statistical survey is undoubtedly accurate, and
its conclusions seem sound. Rut two stories that come out
of Europe the other day made us wonder if these high
military standards don’t occasionally slip.
* * *
DOTH stories were about majors. One was the flight lead-
er who bombed the Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden
without being awar that it was the site of Hitler’s famous,
historic fortified residence, the Berghof.
The other major commanded the railway operating
battalion from which two officers and 158 men were con-
victed on black market charges. His defense was that he
had worked some 18 hours a day at what he, as an old
railroader, thought was the most important thing in the
world—keeping the railroads running.
But he admitted that he had felt unequul to his job
and had asked to be reclassified. And he explained further,
by way of extenuation, that he had only an eighth grade
education. He was acquitted, as we think he should have
been.
It is not our purpose to embarrass or belittle these
two officers. We do not question their courage or their in-
tegrity. But we do wonder if these cases are unique, or if
they represent typical promotions in the face of deficient
genera’, training, as exemplified in one instance, and of
insufficient educational training, as in the other.
r * * * #
*jPHe Berchtesgaden incident was something of a joke,
'** however incredible it may seem that a high officer who
had flown frequently over the territory had never hap-
pened to hear of Hitler’s aerie.
• But the black marketing of the “million dollar bat-
talion” had most serious military consequences. It might
have been stopped sooner under an officer other than one
who admittedly felt incapable of coping with his responsi-
bilities, and victory might be a step nearer today.
I disclosed today. Of 330 accidents
reported, 70 invi.'ved vi hides not
In motion.
Twenty-two uxl cabs, nine
buses and 17 *ervl» men drivers
had accidents, the report says.
The cosunllty list Included three
dead. 46 persons Injured suffi-
ciently to require hospitalisation
and 17 Injured pedestrians, includ-
ing n 3-year-old baby and an 83-
year-old man.
Of the 534 drivers Involved, one
was only » years of age and five
ranged from 80 to 84.

STILLWATER. Mar. 2 —(Spc
dal)—More than 55 Oklahomans
lost their lives In non-automobile
accidents during the past month,
Dr. Dewitt Hunt, safety specialist
at Oklahoma A. and M. college,
revealed today.
Still leading as a cause of non-
accidental deaths was fire. Hour-
teen persons lost their Mve* In
January by being burned to (tenth.
This cause continues to be first
because of home heating systems
which seemingly ore more hat-
unions than most people are ready
to believe.
Nine persons were killed In ene
mine explosion during the month:
six died from accidental gunshots
and six from aviation accidents;
four were killed In falls from high
places; and thiee were killed ky j
autos or trucks crushing them, |
three by other crush ing objects, 1
and three by strangulation or
j choking.
Two persons were killed acci-
dentally by falling from moving i
objects, two from being scalded, J
and one died from asphyxiation,
one from drowning, one from a
fall In the home, one from a run-
away horse, and one by being
struck by a tram.
Broken down into places where
the accidents occurred, Dr. Hunt
found that 38 died from accidents
in the home; 16 from Industrial
accidents; 10 from public acci-
dents; 7 from aviation accidents,
and 3 on the farm.
The safety specialist believes that
many of these victims might Just
as well have been alive and well
today If proper precautions had
been taken to prevent such trag-
edies. He especially cautions
against adoption of the motto that
“what's going to happen will hap-
pen.’ Such a blind policy, he
thinks, leads to carelessness and
tragedy.

NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Vice President Harry Truman, aftei
” only a month on his new job, is discovering that it has a lot
more ups and downs to it than his old job of Senator. Trying to be a
good fellow has put him in several embarrassing positions. That
cheesecake photograph, with Lauren Bacall sitting
on the top of an upright piano while he gazed into
her eyes, brought him no little criticism for being
undignified.
Then he went to nn informal luncheon of Capitol
workers, which he used to attend more or less
regularly as a Senator, saying what he pleased with-
out anybody caring. But the first of these sessions
he attended as V. P. became a news event and a few
of the stortos rubbed the wrong way. Hereafter, the
Vice Presitlen\ may not be so free and easy in his
r.dson ways.

[NATIONAL Service legislation, otherwise known as the work-or-else
bill, has made some strange partners in the line-up of supporters
and opponents. National Association of Manufacturers and nearly all
lubor unions have been violently opposed. But National Steel Industry
Advisory Committee, made up of people like Eugene Grace, and the
heads of the extreme left wing unions like Harry Bridges, favor It.

Congressmen afe being swamped by pleas from parents of service
men. asking that their soldier boys who have been overseas for a
couple of years or more be given leaves to come home. There isn’t
anything the Congressmen enn do about these requests as the soldiers
are chosen by their overseas commanders. But the volume of this and
other O. I. Dill pf Rights mail has forced some Congressmen to put
on nn extra secretary to handle veterans’ affairs exclusively.
