General James A. Canadian Press Staff Writer Seoul, Korea (CP)--There's a "new deal" coming up for the South Korean soldier. He's going to be properly Van Fleet, commanding the Eighth United States Army in Korea, has revised and ex- tended the scope of the program which prepares young South Koreans for service in the defence of their country. In an interview, the 59-year-oldg army commander outlined the pro- gram, which will be supervised by a United States army organization known as Korean Military Advi- sory Group. It functions under his headquarters. Si KMAG is just one of many simi- lar organizations maintained by the United States in countries to which it affords military aid. "They supervise the use to which ¢ it is put," he said, "because na- turally we want to be sure that the aid pays off." : "It always has been our policy to build a_gSouth Korean army strong enough to defend oun- try and to guarantee its security~as a nation. It has been difficult to do that while carrying on a war. It's hard to fight and build at the same time. The South Korean, the general says, has what it takes to be a "really superb' soldier. : + He is incomparable raw materi- al. You have a superb, physically fit body to begin with. His aptitude is unlimited. And he is a willing worker--in fact a slavesfor work. He is obedient. He will sustain his job hour after hour without com- plaint. He has courage--he has I died with the rest of us. And he I does happen to know this country. He is quick to learn. He doesn't 4 miss much.

We just have to build on it. "I am amazed eyery time I visit # them that they are as good as ¢ they are. Their army represents a great accomplishment and it is to their credit.

ALSO IN BULK AND BOTTLES Army Seeks Training dite 0f Huge Size ! By DOUGLAS HOW Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa (CP) The army's search for a vast year-round train- ing area between a third and half the size of Prince Edward Island is stirring political headaches for the government. | The aim is to pick the area -- more than four times the size of the army's biggest. camp now -- In the Maritimes if a suitable region ican be found there. : | But the job of selecting the region | has stirred rivalry between New | Brunswick and Nova Scotia and the rivalry is steadily being brought to bear gn the government. Political pressures from both pro- vinces are building up as the army | goes through the job of reporting |on which area, if any, it feels | would be most appropriate. Maj.-Gen. H. A. Sparling, vice- chief of the general staff, returned here during the weekend after in- specting likely areas in the two provinces. He will report to De- fence Minister Claxton. | The project, once launched, will cost millions of dollars, BLOOD BANK DRY Montreal (CP) -- The Red Cross blood bank Tuesday night said it has only 23 bottles of blood left to supply 58 hospitals here which nor- mally use 1500 bottles a week. Maj. Gen. E. J. Renaud, vice - presi- dent of the provincial division of the Red Cross, said the situation is critical. He called for emergency donors for 'hospitals where ' pa- tients are now waiting transfu- sions." MARAUDING WOLVES Lundar, Man.

At least 12 cows have been killed or maimed so badly since last spring that they had to be destroyed. haye fuller benefit of U.S. army supporting arms. SPECIALISTS' SCHOOL Schools will train specialists in infantry weapons, field artillery, signals, engineering, and ordnance, quartermaster and field medical work. Basic training of recruits will be increased to 16 weeks beginning Oct. 1--two weeks longer than that provided for the U.S. army recruit. "We hope that when they return to the line these divisions will be 100 per cent different outfits," Gen. Van Fleet said. "By next spring we will have {put them all through. It will pro- duce a greatly - improved field army." Operationally, the policy of in- tegrating ROK divisions into American commands 'has yielded splendid results during the last months," said the general. They can be supported with corps artillery and tank units and given backing to make their jobs easier. This is much better than leaving them as an ROK army against which the enemy. could concentrate his strength. It also is useful as a way of indoctrinating them into allied methods. In addition selected officers are going to attend courses in the United States. A fair estimate of the .country's manpower reservoir might be three million, he said, and he is. looking to the ROK government to cull from them the flower of its young 'manhood for its army. "We want men under 25 with good bodies and good minds--the type from whom both Korea and we can get best value from the invest- ment." 4 To Defend Country | THE D VOL. 10--No. 196 PAGE NINE * Local Man Wins Rexair Prize Winner of the REXAIR Conditioner and Humitifier, A.

Besides the unit, valued at $139, Mr. Houston received a year's supply of floor wax, shampoo and Berlow Moth Spray. ~--Times-Gazette Staff Photo. Change Over to Division Made Without Difficulty By BILL BOSS Canadian Press Staff Writer With the Canadians in Korea-- CP--1It's all gone so smoothly that no one seems, to have noticed it. The 1st British Commonwealth division--first of its kind in his- tory--has taken the feild in Korea, comprising troops from Great Brit- ain, Canada, Australia, New Zea- land and India. One day at high noon, as with simple ceremony the divisional en- sign was broken out for the first time at divisional headquarters, its 'constitiient formations were transferred from the command of United States army divisions and placed in the hands of Maj.-Gen. A. J. H. Jim Cassells. At the same moment Brig John M. Rockingham turned over to divisional headquarters the oper- ational command of service troops in his 25th Canadian Infantry Bri- gade group, retaining essentially only his fighting units. Rockingham, however, retains administrative control of the Cana- dians who now function as "Div troops," and is responsible for "paper work" like their pay, pro- motion and discipline. He made that clear to the men 'during par- ades after the change-over. The soldier in the infantry bat- talions or the armored squadron finds life under one division much the same as life under another. He is getting the same rations-- American and ammunition. His mail, if anything, is coming in better and more regularly, and his beer, British mainly, is much more plentiful. The consolidation of mail and welfare services has brought important improvements there. Only operational troops who on the formation of the division were the gunners, the 2nd Regi- ment, Royal Canadian Horse Ar- tillery. Gunners always are in the line, or just behind it, so when the Canadian brigade is at rest divi- sional headquarters switches them around to support the 28th or 29th British brigade as the situation dictates. When Rockingham's ytroops are fighting, however, they will be supported by their own gunners. Service troops now functioning under division include the engin- eers, signals, medicals, ordnance, army service corps, electrical and mechanical engineers, and provost. Most of their work still is done for the Canadian brigade. The DODGE SEDANETTE Exceptionally fine . cone dition.

Medically, Canada has made the largest contribution to the division. The No. 25 Canadian Field Dress- ing Station under Major Wiliam R. Dalziel of Toronto has just ar- rived and has been set up in Seoul as a divisional *sick-bay" to take care of men whose illness does not warrant evacuation to Japan. There soon will be a full Cana- dian dental company of nine clinics with the division. Five now are with the brigade. Four, under Lt.- Col. G. E. Shragge of Kenora, Ont., are en route from Canada to serve divisional' installations. Altogether Canada has contribut- ed a field ambulance, a field dress- ing station, a motor ambulance column, a field surgical team, and a field transfusion team. It is on the command level that the difference is. felt--in terms of less work. Instead of operating what amounted to a miniature division, Rockingham's job and . HMCS CRUSADER RETURNS Victoria, B.
