Trends In Reading
By ZELDA DAVIS
If you are an average adult your
vocabulary is only one-fourth that
of a college sophomore. If you are
also ambitious this is important
to you because of the consistant
statistical correlation between a
superior vocabulary and financial
success. The Human Engineering
Laboratory an institution which
tests people's aptitudes has found
that the only common character
istic of successful people in this
country is an unusual grasp of the
meaning of words. The laboratory
has tested the vocabularies of
thousands of people in all age
groups and in all walks of life and
has discovered that the men draw
ing down the highest salaries have
made the highest scores.

US Mav Build
First 'Saucer'
Washington (AFPS) The Air
Force reporting on the results of
an eight-year study has concluded
that there is no such thing as a
flying saucer.
It said however that it might
soon have a disc-shaped aircraft
"somewhat similar to the popular
concept of a flying saucer."
AF Secretary Donald A. Quar-
les also announced that the AF
soon would fly the first jet-pow
ered vertical-rising aircraft at Ed
wards AFB Calif. The delta-wing
ed craft was built by the Ryan
Aeronautical Corp. San Di o
Calif.
The AF said an investigation of
more than 5000 sightings of uni
dentified aerial objects since mid-
1947 has produced no evidence of
the existence of flying saucers.
Methods of investigating these
reports have been so refined the
AF said that only three percent
of the 131 sightings reported dur
ing the first four months of 1955
were listed as "unknown."
Mr. Quarles said he believed that
even this three per cent "could
have been explained as convention
al phenomena or illusions if more
complete observational data had
been available."
"However" the secretary added
"we are now entering a period of
aviation technology in which air
craft of unusual configuration and
flight characteristics will begin to
appear.
"Vertical rising aircraft capable
of transition to supersonic horizon
tal flight will be a new phenome
non in our skies and under cer
tain conditions could give the illu
sion of the so-called flying saucer.
"However we are satisfied at
this time that none of the sight
ings of so-called flying saucers re
ported in this country were in fact
aircraft of foreign origin."
Of the sightings reported in the
first four months of this year the
AF said 26 percent were evalu
ated as balloons 21 percent as air
craft 23 percent astronomical 20
percent other 7 percent insuffi
cient information and 3 percent un
known.

Chief Justice Warren
Hits ^Security9 Excess
When the Chief Justice of the United States thinks that it is
necessary to warn his country against carrying its employee-security
program so far that it tramples traditional American freedom it is
time for the people to sit up and take notice.
And when the Secretary of the Army finds that a drastic over
haul of Army security procedures is necessary it is time for other
government officials to re-read the Constitution of the United States
and follow in his footsteps.
Chief Justice Warren—the man "most likely to succeed Presi
dent Eisenhower if he could be prevailed upon to accept the Republican
nomination—issues his warning in the November issue of Fortune
magazine.
Secretary of the Army Brucker on Wednesday ordered overhaul
of Army security procedures and said he had under active and ad
vanced consideration a new set of standards to be applied to every
soldier or civilian in the Army's internal security system. He said it
was evident that there are both "defects and abuses' in the present
system.
Chief Justice Warren wrote that security procedures set up to
protect the government against subversives pose a threat to individual
liberty and a problem that "haunts" our courts. He said Constitutional
safeguards are adequate to meet "this new challenge but added that
the Bill of Rights must be constantly and imaginatively applied to new
situations."
"Must a nation that is now the strongest in the world demand
for its own strength and security a sacrifice by its own citizens of their
ancient liberties?" the Chief Justice asks. 'This problem haunts
the work of all our courts these days. But the Constitution exists
for the individual as well as the nation?'
Chief Justice Warren denounced the "temptation to imitate to
talitarian methods and said such temptation must be resisted day
by day for it will be with us as long as totalitarianism itself.
Many people share the concern of the Chief Justice. So do the
more sober and genuinely patriotic members of the major veterans or
ganizations. As the immortal Blackstone said— It is better that ten
guilty persons escape than the one innocent suffer. But there are
too many rabblerousers in this country today who would pervert that
principle oread that "it is better that ten innocent persons suffer
than that one guilt escape."
Communism is strengthened and subversion rewarded when pseudo
patriots and prejudiced fanatics pervert the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights in the name of 100 percent Americanism. Americanism is
thus diluted and polluted.
It is a sad state of affairs indeed when those who defend such
genuine and protective American precepts as a man is innocent until
proven guilty" are attacked as "left-wing radicals —a term used
loosely and hypocritically to stigmatize the innocent as subversive fel
low travelers or having communistic leanings.

Ex-Soldier Returns
$120 Illegal Pay
Camp Chaffee Ark. (AFPS)—A
conscience-stricken ex-army man
who received an illegal month's
pay when discharged here nine-
and-a-half years ago has returned
it—plus interest.
The veteran enclosed a check
for $188.40—his $120 overpay plus
six per cent interest for nine-and-
a-half years in a letter to the fi
nance officer here.
Asking "forgiveness" and claim
ing he must now make amends
since "I am now trying to live by
every word of God" the former
soldier explained that he had
drawn his $120 pay for February
1946 at Caserta Italy and again
at Chaffee.
The letter of repentence quoted
Ezekiel 30:15—"If the wicked re
store the pledge give again that
he had robbed walk in the statutes

Army officials indicated that all
is forgiven and that the money has
been deposited in the "conscience
fund" from which it will be trans
ferred to the miscellaneous ac
counts fund and re-expended in'the

Ready Reserve Liable
For Involuntary Duty
Fourth in a series on the Reserve
Forces Act prepared by III Corps
TI&E Office
"The Ready Reserve consists of
those reserve units and members
of the Army Reserve who are lia
ble for involuntary active duty
either in time of war or in time
of National Emergency declared
by the Congress or proclaimed by
the President or when otherwise
prescribed by law. Such units will
be those required to support the
early needs of the Army (within
6 months after M-D). Members of
such units while in a reserve duty
training status are subject to in
voluntary active duty for training
not to exceed 17 days annually and
to such voluntary reserve duty
training as may be prescribed."
"The Standby Reserve consists
of those units or members of the
Army Reserve (other than mem
bers in the Retired Reserve) who
are liable for active duty in time
of war or a national emergency
declared by the Congress or when
otherwise authorized by law. Units
other than training units will not
be organized in the Standby Re
serve unless authorized in the Army
Reserve Troop program. Except in
time of war or unless authorized by
Congress no member of the Stand
by Reserve shall be ordered to ac
tive duty as an individual without
his consent unless it is determined
that adequate numbers of quali
fied members of the Ready Re
serve in the required category are
not readily available. In addition
members of the Standby Reserve
will be permitted and encouraged
to perform active duty for train
ing and reserve duty training."
Standby Reserve Screened
The new "Standby Reserve" will
be composed largely of personnel
who have fulfilled their "Ready Re
serve" obligation or who have
been transferred thereto as a re
sult of screening processthat is
Korean vets other vets skilled per-
sonnpl in excess of military needs
or hardship cases. Members of the
"Standby Reserve" are liable for
recall only in a general mobiliza
tion and their availability for ser
vice will be determined by the
Selective Service System based on
allocation of critical skills be
tween military service and essen
tial civilian activities.
Combat veterans of Korea or
of any other conflict will be given
first consideration for transfer to
the "Standby Reserve."
Fulfilling Obligation
Next week we will show the
various means by which a young
man may fulfill his obligation.
Consider first the source of all
available young men eligible and
classified for military service. It
is estimated that the manpower
pool should contain approximately
850000 men which is about the
number becoming eligible for mili
tary service each year* (17-19 age
group). Insofar as can be deter
mined current manpower procure
ment procedures fo the Active
Forces will be continued. This will
include induction for two years of
service to the extent necessary to
meet manpower requirements and
continuation of present deferment
policies.

Protects Food
WRIGHT PATTERSON AFB
OHIO (AFPS) Air Force per
sonnel in remote outposts will be
able to enjoy fresh fruits and vege
tables thanks to a packing process
developed for the Air Materiel
Command by the Research and
Development Center here.
The food is packaged in water-
saturated containers. Even though
the outside temperature is lowered
to —65 degrees F. the food re
mains fresh and safe from freez
ing for hours.
Two fibreboard boxes one slight
ly larger than the other are used.
The smaller one contains the food.
This box is wrapped in a water-
vapor proof barrier paper and
sealed shut.
Then the box is wrapped with
in a one-inch water absorbent ma
terial saturated with water with
more barrier paper around it. This
is all placed in the larger con
tainer which is then sealed.
At —65 degree F. it takes six
hours for the water to freeze. Until
it does the food in the inner con
tainer remains fresh at about 32
degrees F.
October 8 is the 37th anniver
sary of the most heroic day in the
career of Sergeant Alvin C. York.
On that date in 1918 practically
unassisted York captured 132 Ger
mans in the Argonne Forest after
his patrol had been cut off by Ger
man forces outnumbering them
more than 10 to one.
