The Inside on Korea VERYBODY has read descriptions of the fighting in Korea, and appraisals of the quality of the present American army as contrasted with that of the Chinese. But there has been a lack of first-hand accounts by men with authoritative military backgrounds. ------That lack is brilliantly remedied in the August issue of magazine by Colonel S. L. A.

Marshall, a distinguished student and historian of warfare Colonel Marshall's article is happily entitled Army in Best Korea is almost incredibly bleak and difficult. Colonel Marshall quotes a GI saying which runs. got tired when He was making the world. Hence The weather is vile and there are many precipitous heights. Colonel Marshall writes, percent of the heavy fighting is done uphill.

It has to be done that way, for the enemy uses the high ground to interdict with automatic fire our advance along the low ground In Korea the average infantry company climbs all day to reach the top and fight all night. If that ridge falls, there is always the next one, with another enemy band dug in along its Colonel went to Korea in November, stayed until March, and observed the war all the way from top headquarters down to line small respect for the quality of Communist forces or their organization. Their success he ascribes to sheer weight of manpower. He reports that, their battle doctrine is about as inflexible as it could be, and says, make war as if the judgement or common sense of anyone lower than an army group commander was not to be Their supply system is primitive, and starvation and freezing have taken a heavy toll of their troops. Their tactics are Marshall characterizes the that they have taken over the Russian tactical system as Their medical system is so poor that not a tenth of the needs in this department are met.

Newspaper readers have come on account after account of suicidal Red mass attacks. Of this. Colonel Marshall says, of the wild, frenzied charges we read about, in which screaming hordes of Chinese moved lHce a human tide straight into the face of fire, and up and over the American line, never happened at all They are figments nf the imagination, aided and abetted by the helplessness of the American soldier, who will never let a down for lack of a good Finally, Colonel Marshall deals with the quality of the American Army which has been forged in this is an all- important matter regardless of future developments and changes in the Korean situation. It has become a tough and splendid Army, which knows its business, can accept and deal with severe hardships without whining, has high morale and great pride in itself. In the beginning it was afraid of the Chinese.

and of such devices as the tooting of horns and the blowing of bugles in the night. It is no longer afraid, it has confidence and purpose Colonel Marshall gives great credit to General Ridgway who, he says, to the command at just the right When he came, the Army was at rock bottom. Now, to quote again, will say, without a qualifying word, that the men of the Eighth Army are the hardest-hitting, most workmanlike soldiers I have vet seen in our uniform in the course of three wars Day by day these and as capable of high action as any troops alive That, certainly, is of the best news that has come from Korea For, if the need should arise, our great new armies of the future will be built upon the nucleus which fought and learned in Korea. Scare To the Editor: I agree with your statement, F. R.

Williams, in Reader's Say, Aug. 15, But you think it is a little too late to try and scare people into safety; mostly these young kids? I do. I think the State should pass a law that people have to be 18 or maybe 21 to get a permit. I know of some boys wlio had their license taken from them for speeding and they still drive around without them I saw in the paper where a young kid had his license taken for driving in a fatal death accident. So he got rid of the car and runs a motorcycle.

I think you can kill people with one of these also. Boys nowadays think they are smart. But just let them get in a mess, what do they do? They go home to their parents. get you out of this, can feel for parents, but they should teach their children respect while they are young. Some parents care until it is too late, Rattlesnake Hill PITY PAPA'S POCKETBOOK Loss To the Editor: For the money Berks county is spending to get rid of the covered bridge at Douglassville.

it could have put the bridge into condition for historical use only. This may not be one of the last wooden covered bridges in this section, but it is one of the few spanning the Schuylkill. I am surprised the county historical society do something to keep the bridge as a landmark. I have known many persons who came for miles to see and travel over the bridge. It had an interest for them and certainly this would increase with the years.

It is saddening to see valuable pieces of our historical heritage be removed without a whimper from anyone. Birdsboro RD 1 KATHRYN E. T. Rabid Fox Scare To the Editor: You have made campaigns for the people of PottstoWn that, in many ways have helped them. Why not now make a campaign for the people of the country that the Game commission do something about this epidemic of rabies in foxes.

It is not just an isolated epidemic any more, as there have been cases in this region of Elverson recently reported. It is getting that people are afraid to walk around even on their own farms, and women to work truckpatches without carrying a club or having handy. When foxes will come up on porches or close to houses and go for ppople, it is time something; as done about It is neither safe for humans or pets. Elverson RD 1 WORRIED the West Point System To the Editor: While I agree with C. Is No Readers Say.

Aug. 13) that, that Pottstown man at West Point should have come out flatfooted and admitted or denied that he was one of the crtbbers in exams, I think that we should not be too hard on him if we think he was one of them. As I understand it. the cribbing cadets did not steal copies of the exams or take notes or answers with them to classes. All they did was listen to cadets talk who already had taken the same exams they were to take.

The Army tradition, West Pointer or GI, is help your buddy. If a friend of yours came out of an exam that you were worried about, would you think it so awful if he told you what he remembered about it? The heaviest blame should be put on West Point officials for having such a darn fool honor system. Pottstown RD 1 J. J. Praise for Play Program To the Editor: My thanks goes all the playground supervisors for a successful season If you would have been out in Manatawny park Tuesday night, your hefcrt wrould have melted as you saw those tiny tots get up and perform.

There have been very few accidents Summer, if I recall correctly. I think this can be attributed, at least partly so. to the wonderful program set up by the recreation department to keep them interested. This department can have some of my money any time. Every penny of it goes to good use.

Pottstown MRS WANDA L. INTERPRETIVE Pakistan Tension Grows; Full War Imminent By JOHN FISHER THE PUBLIC IS so absorbed in watching the actual fighting in Korea that it fails to appreciate that another Asian war is on the very edge of breaking a war between India and Pakistan, a conflict that also would be a terrible religious war between Hindu and Moslem. The immediate tension stems from a long dispute over the possession of Kashmir, a state bordering on the Soviet Union. Acrimony has reached a boiling point despite the efforts of Frank Graham. United Nations mediator, who is now in the area trying to work out an agreement for a plebiscite, a free-voting arrangement which India has heretofore rejected.

The current crisis is the result of a plan announced by Sheik Abdullah, the Indian puppet ruler of Kashmir, to choose a constituent assembly in the earlv fall. This new body under domination of New Delhi could vote on transferring Kashmir to India without the popular plebiscite. Karachi is furious at what it considers a dirty trick to steal the province. Indian armed forces in the Indian-held portions of Kashmir have been strengthened, Pakistan troops along the border have been alerted. Air raid shelters and trenches have been dug and blackouts usual preliminary to open fighting New Delhi maintains that Pakistan is the culprit in warmongering.

But the explosion point is approached in an area already seething with trouble, every violent impulse exploited by crafty local Communists and their string-pulling masters in Moscow. In Northeast Asia the United Nations and Chinese armies are poised for a death struggle. Sharp battles between Communists and various free nationalities are fought in the jungles and mountains along the China-Burma border and in Indochina. Assassination of Jordan's ruler has increased bad blood between Israel and Arab neighbors. Egypt is at loggerheads with Britain over the Suer (anal.

In the center of this vast upheaval of Moslem emotions is Pakistan, with a population of 75 million, the largest Moslem state in the world, ready td shoot it out with India, a nation of Hindus with religious prejudices against the followers of the Prophet A bit of background is necessary for an understanding of the present Pakistan, of the was born when on July 18, 1947, the British Parliament passed the Indian Independence Act, setting up two domains in the subcontinent, India and Pakistan. THE LATTER IS NOT a single territorial unit. West Pakistan borders on Iran and Afghanistan. East Pakistan borders on the Bay of Bengal, It is one of the most densely populated regions on earth, 1.200 to the square mile in some districts. The separation of the two sections of Pakistan creates obvious economic and administrative problems Bordering Pakistan are the states of Jammu and Kashmir, including the rich Vale of Kashmir Although the Kashmiri are 85 percent Moslem, they were ruled by a Hindu, Maharajah Hari Singh, a greedy, grinding, grasping tyrant.

At the time when London relinquished rule, he commenced exterminating or driving out Moslem subjects. Sikhs In the pay of the Maharajah attacked refugee caravans, killing the men and carrying off the young women. In other areas his mercenaries besieged villages, severed the water supply, stormed the gates, slaughtered the men and stole the pretty girls. This local reign of terror caused an uprising with the Moslem demanding that their nation be allowed to join Moslem Pakistan. Word of the civil war reached the Khyber Pass country, home of restless, wild tribes that the English kept placid in the old by frequent raids and strong outposts in the hills.

With none to stop them, these fierce mountaineers poured into Kashmir, thirstuig for revenge. W. R.

BI DESEN, D. THE NORMAL red blood count for the male is about five million cells per cubic centimeter of blood, slightly less for the female. There are many conditions, however, which cause variations one way or another from this norm. In anemia, for instance, both the red cells and coloring in the blood- are deficient. This is a fairly common condition, but there is another rarer blood disorder, known as polycythemia, in which the bone marrow factory for the production of red blood ceils gets out of hand and goes on turning out red blood cells long after the normal needs are satisfied.

In polycythemia, not only is the number of red blood cells vastly increased, but the volume of blood is almost, doubled, Therefore, the heart has a greater amount of blood to pump and heart failure is more common in people having this condition. There is a tendency for blood clots to form in various vessels because of the thickness of thei blood. Coronary heart disease, cerebral thrombosis and other such conditions are very people suffering from polycythemia. Many methods of treatment have been used for this disorder, the most popular being blood-letting, in which from one to two pints of blood are removed slowly from the individual. Various drugs, such as solution.

phenyl hydrazine, nitrogen mustards and X-ray therapy have been used in the treatment of this condition. However, none has proved too efficacious, and all have fairly severe side-effects. Recently, a group of 108 patients was treated with radioactive phosphorus. The drug was given either by injection into a muscle or by mouth. The patients thus treated obtained relief for intervals of not less than two months.

All the symptoms were completely relieved. except those of the itching and the enlarged spleen. The side-effects were few and less severe than with other treatments, It would seem that radioactive phosphorus is among the most adequate forms of treatment for polycythemia we now ha vet QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A READER: Should a person with one lung get married?
