In Korea the United States set
up a 3-service military advisory
group to pave the way for eventu
al withdrawal of all United States
forces from Korea. The organiza
tion still in the provisional stage
has the goal of making South Ko

self sufficient for defensive pur

the United States can then plan
a complete troop pullout.

Uncertainty over the anti-polio

new production rules laid down by
the government. Homer Fritsch

power and aims to maintain its
lead." He also told a news con
ference it is a "fair assumption'
that the Soviet Union is shifting
its emphasis from a primarily de
fensive air force to building a long-
range bomber force. Wilson's esti
mate of United States-Russian mil
itary power came amid mounting
Democratic demands for
thorough congressional review of
American armed might.
The Atomic Energy Commission
proposed rules under which it will
give American business men con

In "Looking 'round the Library'
we usually talk about books but
today we'll get right down to cases
Bookcases. The Post Library
has just installed new bookshelves
made according ot it's own speci
fications. They are of blond wood
with matching magazine and rec
ord racks. Next time you are
"Looking 'round the library" in
person you'll feel the difference in
the lighter more contemporary at
mosphere the new shelving lends
to the whole interior.
The latest fashion in bookcases
however is as useles as an empty
shell (or shelf) without good books.
The content is the important thing
and that applies to individuals as
well libraries. American women
are very responsive to new fashions
in clothing but are they as respon
sive to new ideas? Cynical Euro
pean observers often imply that
the American woman is "Vogue"
on the outside and vague on the
inside. Not that male readers
readers should setle back and feel
smug there are too rrfany who dis
covered mysteries or westerns in
Junior High School and have re
mained in their rut ever since. Vis
it "the library with an open mind
and remember that the object of
an open mind is to shut it again on
something solid. Every species of
fiction—psychological sociological
historical western crime etc. is
base don a subject field that would
probably interest you if you like
the corresponding class of novel.
True Story Magazine isn't the on(
example of truth being more fasci
nating than fiction.
We regretted having to close the
Post Library for the installation of
the new shelving but the removal
and replacement of 15000 books
made it necessary. We appreciated
the patience and good humour of
our readers. We hope that those
who discovered the Academic Drive
Library during that period will con-

Few Civilians
Leave Jobs
In 4th Army
Fewer civilian employees of the
Fourth Army quit their jobs dur
ing the third quarter of Fiscal
Year 1955 than during any quarter
of the last three years Fourth
Army Headquarters revealed to
day.
Conversion of indefinite em
ployees to career status together
with the trend toward a stabiliz
ing work force were major fac
tors in lowering the quit rate of
14.6 per cent of total civilian
strength.
Fort Sam Houston's quit rate
during the third quarter was 11.8
per cent lowest of any major in
stallation in the Fourth Army.
The quit rate of civilian em
ployees at Army installations is
higher than that of industry be
cause of the fact that many wives
of military personnel give up their
jobs to remain with their husbands
when they are transferred it was
pointed out.

Okay To Cut
In Manpower
WASHINGTON (AFPS) The

2859000 men by June of next year.

ate where it will first be consider
ed by the Appropriations Commit
tee.
The House passed the defense
measure in approximately the
same form as it was originally pre

men in the Armed Forces at most
recent count.

major emphasis on air power and
nuclear weapons which the Presi
dent indicated would deter mil
itary aggression and protect the
nation from attack.
About two-thirds of the bugdet
is earmarked for air power and
related programs. The AF would
get the major share of the appro
at on $ 1 4 4 0 1 9 0 4 0 0 0
