6 Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA AF Commissions Offered to Grads Of Colleges HAMILTON, Calif. — Because of the critical need for specialists the Fourth Air Force will grant direct commissions to approximately 300 college graduates possessing the necessary qualifications, Maj. Gen. William E. Hall commanding general of the Fourth Air Force, announced today. He said the greatest need is for officer; specialists in communications, procurement and production, special investigation, legal weather, psychological warfare engineering and scientific fields. Commissions will range from second lieutenant to lieutenant colonel, depending on age, education and experience. A bachelor's degree is required. A limited number of college graduates with degrees in engineering, physics, chemistry or mathematics (or students who will receive such degrees this summer) will be appointed second lieutenants. They must take officers' basic training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas, and additional technical training. Those who had six months of military service in certain grades will skip the basic training. Qualified applicants in the Fourth Air Force area (California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah and Arizona) should obtain details by writing at once to Commanding General, Headquarters Fourth Air Force, Hamilton Air Force Base, Hamilton, Calif.- Edward F. Glenn On USS Antietam WASHINGTON AND "SMALL BUSINESS" BY C. W. HARDER Harry Truman's announcement that he is not a candidate for re-election prompted many comments in Washington. From some came the wall "This is the end of everything". From others, came the gleeful shout, "New the country can be saved." Logically, neither is right. The important fact about the President's announcement will only be as important as the people make it. C. W. Harder The important fact is that for the first time in twenty years, it will be possible to have a really free election, because both parties now have an opportunity to define objectives, and select candidates with no consideration for previous commitments. Just as the democratic party is not now bound to defend the actions of an administration, neither are republicans confined to a campaign on real, or imagined evils of the incumbents. With hands free, each side can annoy what the people want, and present positive platforms and candidates. History may show Truman a great man; or the contrary. At the present, it makes little difference, because the White House occupant is not supposed to be omnipotent. Control of government is supposed to be vested in the people through Congress. History also reveals another important fact, long neglected. Independent enterprise, which in turn nurtures small business that may with proper manage-ment grow into larger business, was to be the U. S. cornerstone. And that is the basic difference between America and the rest of the world that has been forgotten. In the past few years, the threat of fascism, or the threat of communism, has been pumped up unduly into a bogey man for public attention by bureaucrats so that everyone forgot the threat to the American system. The plight of the citizen of Lower Slobovia who cannot vote a secret ballot is sad. But far sadder is the plight of the free American citizen who cannot start his own business due to the pressure of monopoly on one side, and almost confiscatory taxes on the other side. And in the unsuccessful attempts to get a secret ballot for the Lower Slobovian, many disastrous things have happened to America. For one thing, federal, state and local taxes now take 33% of the entire national income. Leadership in protecting U. S. free enterprise has not been a strong point by either party. For example, Sen. John Sparkman of Alabama, doing an outstanding job as head of the Senate Small Business Committee, is a democrat. His able predecessor was the late Sen. Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska, a Republican. The big issue today is not whether the donkey or elephant parades on Constitution Avenue. An elephant or a donkey will both eat unguarded hay until it is entirely gone. The big decision is what will either party make to strip the executive branch of government of the power to set up myriads of bureaus. Edward F. Glenn On USS Antietam Serving aboard the aircraft carrier USS Antietam with the Pacific Fleet is Edward F. Glenn machinist's mate fireman apprentice, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs Maynard. F. Glenn of 221 East Broadway st., Anaheim. Glenn entered the Naval service June 18, 1951, and received his recruit training at the Naval Training Center, San Diego.

Gen. J. Lawton Collins saws the M-47 medium tank, now being mass produced, is "more than a match" for its Soviet counterparts. The Army demonstrated the M-47 to newsmen at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in nearby Maryland yesterday. Officials did not say how many are built and ready for combat, but Col. C. G. Wilhide, commander of the Detroit tank arsenal, told reporters they total more than "all types of United States tanks in Korea combined." The exhibition indicated to newsmen that the M-47 was rid of the "bugs" that plagued early production models, ordered built by the Army as a "calculated risk" after the Korean war broke out. Ordinarily, tanks are not built until pilot models are tested, "bugs" eliminated in long-drawn-out experiments. But the Korean war was serious, the situation in Europe tense. The Army gambled on all-out production before the routine tests were completed, and the M-47 me-pression that it would be sent dium tank demonstrated yesterday it had won. Here are some of the things reporters saw: 1. The tank showed a speed of about 35 miles an hour on a highway. 2. It climbed a 50 per cent grade from a standing start—too steep a grade for a man to climb without slipping. 3. It ran through water so deep only the turret was visible. 4. It hit a moving target tank 500 yards away in dead center. Officials said the tank can "stop on a dime and turn in its own length;" it has an automatic gadget that, once a gunner aims his guns, re-aims without help from the crew after each shot; and has heavily improved armor. The tank's specifications: weight 48 tons; 90 millimeter, high velocity gun; 810 horsepower V-12 cylinder air-cooled engine, five man crew. Its cross-drive transmission is expected to give it a flexibility enabling it to outmaneuver any known enemy tank. It is being manufactured at the Army's Detroit arsenal, and at the Schenectady, N. Y., plant of the American Locomotive Company. Whether the new tank will be used in Korea was not disclosed. In Washington there was an im- pression that it would be sent WORKERS BATTLE RISK oil tank farm stands waters of the Missouri center) keep up the be there.
