United I’reKN Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. C. (UP).—
If a war started, elite groups of
United States Army volunteers
would penetrate at once to
points deep inside enemy lines
where they could stir up rebel-
lion and create general chaos.
Til*,* toughest training t h e
Army ean give goes to these
men who comprise the Special
Forces They take up where the
paratroops and Rangers leave
off. You know them hy their
green headgear- and their para-
troop hoots and jumper’s wings.
Their home is Fort Bragg. N.
C.. and their boss is Colonel Ed-
son 1). Raff, commander of the
Psychological Warfare Center,
a pioneer of guerrilla-type op-
erations hy United States forces,
in World War JI.
I he Special Forces arc ready
to operate independently or in j
contact with friendly forces at ;
the front lines. They were or-
ganized in September. 1952, un j
der a new policy calling for!
rough-and-ready units trained to
wage war belijnd an enemy’s
front lines.
They already have the Hus-
! sians stirred up. Moscow radio
(recently let go with a blast at j
| the “spies” the United States al-
j legedly is training at Fort Bragg.
TWO GROUPS
Plainly. Moscow meant the
Special Forces. But these men
| are not “spies.’# Nor, the Army
says, can they be compared “to j
I any conventional unit.” They
were created "to provide in time
of war a weapon through which
the Army ean train, supply and
direct guerrilla operations
against the enemy in support of
military operations.”
They assert—and no one w ho
sees them can doubt it — that
they are “reaejg^tu go anywhere
at any time tojfc anything and
get there by tilty method ”
The Army now has two Special
Forces groups, the 771 h at Fort
Bragg and the 10th in Germany.
Both have recently been reduc-
ed in strength, presumably to
provide trained personnel for
an airbournc division going to
Europe and the re-activated
101st Airborne Division in this
country. A group might nor-
mally have 2,000 men, but the
actual strengths are secret.
Sometimes called “liberation
fighters,” Special Forces troops
speak a variety of languages
used on both sides of the Iron
Curtain and — though mostly
Americans, they include refu-
gees from the Communists.
After basic training and a
tour at the paratroop school, a
man may volunteer for the Spe
cial Forces. Today’s teams a r e
filled with two—and three-time
volunteers.
The men (rain in the swamps
and mountains of North Caro-
lina, learn amphibious warfare
and survival techniques f r o ni
the Marines, undergo high
mountain exercises, in Colorado.
Wherever they are, they learn
to live off the land indefinitely.
LIVE OFF LAND
They operate in teams of 15
men—two officers and 13 en-
listed men ready to infiltrate
enemy territory and train as
many as 1.500 guerillas. It’s
the “cheapest way we have to
fight a war," Army officers say.
Names Officers^
D. C. Marsh was elected presi-
dent of the Ellis County Grain
and storage Company, inc., at
the first meeting of the stock-
holders at the Ellis County Farm
Bureau Office in Waxahachic.
Other officers elected were
Ralph Roebuck, vice president,
and Roger Tate, secretary-treas-
urer.
Other directors chosen at the
meeting were Rankin Hinds,
James Underwood, Sam Brind-
ley, Field Patteson, Jesse Gor
man and Robert Beer.
The company has purchased a
building site on the Maude Davis
farm at the Nash Road and U. S.
77 intersection.
Officials said they hoped that
the building could In* completed
m time to store tins year’s maize
crop.
LONG HAIR
HAMDEN. Conn. (UP). — To
protest a 25-cent hike in t It e
price of haircuts, a group of
Hamden men formed a “Oneo-
A-Month” dub. The president,
Janies Mclnnis, said the organ-
ization's 11 members promised
to restrict themselves to one
aircut a month. “No haircut is
worth $1.50 with or without a
tip.” he added.
