MmUTHDR says ALHAMBRA, Calif., March 27* —Gen Douglas MacArthur be lieves that either war or man kind will be eliminated bat that peace is "very possible," an ex clusive interview in the Alhambra Post-Advocate revealed today. The interview, in which Mac Arthur termed the situation in the far Efest "explosive," was ob tained by Herbert 6. Klein, news editor of the Post-Advocate, on recent trip to Japan. "We will have to find that either war mast go or mankind will go." Klein quoted Mac Arthur as saying. "I think that the common people realize this. "Hie Japanese know war does not pay. Even the Russian masses probably oppose war. All we need are the mechanics to accomplish peace . . . peace is very possible. It is essential." Tmm War In the interview Mac Arthur traced the development of war from the gladiatorial contest of David and Goliath to the present day. "Even when I joined the army, a CJolt .45 and a rifle were pri mary weapons," Klein quoted MacArthur as saying. "Today it is not a contest between men but between machines and super bombs. . . . 'jWith present weapons, there no longer is any advantage to winning a war. Everyone loses, with the victors losing a little less than the vanquished. Even in this past war, we found that the de struction requires us to carry new bunkos now." MacArthur said he did not think today's problems were any bigger than those of 20 or 50 years ago. "They seem more real because all are brought before use at once in your evening newspaper," he told Klein. "Many incidents which would have incited wars years ago now are being ignored or merely protested." Klein pointed out that Mac Arthur had been a general longer than any other U. S. officer and that his statements were those of a "professional soldier speak ing for peace." But while MacArthur talks of peace, he does not minimise the explosive situation in the Orient, Klein said. He said jet fightefers, long range bombers and four divisions of sharply trained troops, coupled with an alert naval ferce, give evidence that MacArthur is pre pared for war in the Far. East if it becomes necessary. WHIN IT COMES to bring quick on the draw—box office that is—Cor rine Calvtt (left) and Maria Wil ton ara experts at the game.

CAPTURED COPPER STILLS USED TO MAKE DECORATIVE TMYS LITTLE SWITZERLAND, Mar. 27—Many McDowell County wom en have, always been interested in the number of moonshine stills captured by Sheriff C. M. Poole and his deputies in the nearby mountains. But within the past few months the several hundred members of the home demonstration clubs in the county have ben spurring the law enforcement officers on to even greater efforts in bringing in stills, for these ladies are making good use of every such outfit the officers can locate. • Stills Piled Up Heretofore the captured stills and pieces of stills would simply pile up in a storage room in the courthouse until there was no fur ther space Then they would be taken out and destroyed. However, the destruction of illi-1 cit stills is no longer a chore for the sheriff and his deputies. Hey merely hand them over to Miss Elsie Garrett, McDowell County home agent, and the members of her home demonstration clubs transform into useful and orna • —— mental objects for their homes or as gifts. It began last November when Miss Garrett started training 29 handicraft project leaders of the demonstration clubs to present to the members of their chibs a demonstration on tray making. Cheaper Source' At first aluminum was pur chased as a material for the trays, but in a couple of months, Miss Garrett gave a demonstra tion in tray decoration using cop per as base. That's where the moonshiner's still cfme into the picture. Miss Garrett recognized the stills as a cheap source of copper and the supply ia the sheriffs storage room was quickly exhausted and still tn& club women ask for more. o—:—w Fourteen foreign nations and 25 states in this country will | participate in the 1950 Interna tional Farm Youth Exchange Program, designed to promote international understanding, good will, and peace.
