Tremendous Military Effort
Could Avoid War--Parsons 1
Dr. Kenneth L. Parsons, of the
University of Wisconsin Depart
ment of Agricultural Economics,
addressed the graduate school and
faculty Monday night.
The general topic of his discus
sion was “The Role of the Scien
tist in World Conflict.”
Tremendous Military Effort
“We must make a, tremendous
military effort to assemble enough
might to avoid the outbreak of an
other war. We expect to avoid it
and then work out our problems
by peaceful means,” said Dr. Par
sons.
“These two issues,” he pointed
out, “nearly all Americans are
agreed upon. Although we are
striving hard to achieve the mili
tary buildup, we are taking too
much for granted the working out
of international social and eco
nomic problems.
“The main problem facing us
today is getting ready to under
take the responsibilities that ai’e
outlined in our present Point Four
Assistance Program.”
Dr. Parsons then went into de
tail to comment on how we are to
get ready.
“How do we go about getting
enough real understanding of
countries of the wm-ld so that
Americans trained in this country
High School

can really be useful when they
get to these distant lands?”
We must train the Americans
who go to these countries in such
a manner that they can take our
modern methods and apply and
adapt them to the underdeveloped
regions in which they work. The
people of these areas must be made
to see how these changes will
bring about a better way of living.
Problems to Solve
There are a few problems that
must be solved, Dr. Parsons said,
if we are to accomplish our objec
tive.
The first one is that of increas
ing productivity. This is primarily
the problem of agi-icultural engi
neering technology.
A much more difficult problem
is that of helping these people to
improve their public administration
and genei'al economic and social
organizations so their societies can
develop and thereby adapt these
new technological improvements.

MSC Council
Appoints Heads
Of Committees
The Memorial Student Cen
ter Council named three men
committee chairmen at their
meeting- last night in the cen
ter. The men named were to
fill the unexpired terms of com
mittee chairmen who were unable
to complete the year.
The new chairmen are Boyce
Holmes, music committee; Guy
Jackson, Browsing Library; and
Carroll Phillips, games committee.
Their nominations were c o n-
firmed by the council on the rec
ommendation of the nominating
committee.
President Dan Davis made a re
port to the council of the state of
the revolving fund. The fund was
established by the MSC Board and
is to be used for revenue producing
activities of the council and direc-
torite.
An expenditure of $250 from the
fund for the payment of dancing
lessons has been paid off, Davis
announced. The $220 spent on the
Talent Show which was held Fri
day night has been paid back in
addition to a profit from the show
of $65.
A financial report on Rue Pin-
alle showed the “night club” was
making a small amount of money.
Upon the motion of Dick Hervey,
executive secretary of the Asso
ciation of Former Students, the
music committee was given the
council’s commendation for the
work done on the Talent Show,
Rue Pinalle, and Dancing instruc
tion.
Preliminary discussions were
held as to the method of election of

er elected council members.

ing, but the plane plunged to the
ground and Lieutenant Hughes was

ated from A&M in 1942 with a de
gree in agriculture administration.
He received a commission in the
Armor Corps.
Lone Reconnaissance
During a three-day battle in
Germany, Nov., 1944, with the
893rd Tank Destroyer Battalion,
Lieutenant Leonard directed fire
from his tank destroyer from an
exposed position. He went on lone
reconnaissance missions to find out
opposition faced by his men. While
on a scouting mission. Lieutenant
Leonard received fire from an ene
my machine gun position. He ad
vanced alone and destroyed the
emplacement with a hand gren
ade.
During strong German attacks,
he organized confused infantry
units whose leaders were casual
ties. They held firm.
Although wounded early in the
battle, Lieutenant Leonard contin
ued to direct fire from his ad
vanced position until one arm was
shattered by a high explosive shell.
He withdrew and was last seen at
a medical station, which later was
captured by the enemy.
Lead Survivors
Staff Sergeant Keathley, with
an infantry regiment of the 85th
Division, continued to fight and
lead all survivors in his company.
He accomplished this for fifteen
minutes after he had been mor
tally wounded on a ridge of Mt.
Altuzzo, Italy, Sept., 1944.
Captain Whiteley received a
BS degree in 1941, and upon grad
uation was commissioned a lieu
tenant in the infantry.
In action in Germany, Dec., 1944,
Captain Whiteley charged with a
Tommy gun into a building in
which there were German soldiers.
He killed five and captured four.
Returning to the rear area, he em
ptied feathers out of a pillow case
and loaded it with bazooka am
munition and smoke grenades.
Back at another enemy strong-
point, Captain Whiteley covered his
approach with smoke, knocked
down a door with rocket shells,
rushed inside and killed two Ger
mans and captured 11. In this
action he sustained arm wounds
and lost the sight of one eye.
Attacked by Japanese
Sergeant Harrell saw his action
in the Iwo Jima invasion. While
on night watch with another Ma
lone, they were attacked by infil
trating Japanese just before dawn.
In the light of a star shell, Ser
geant Harrell killed two Japs.
With grenades falling all around
his position, he waged a fierce
battle until a grenade blew off
his left hand and fractured his
thigh. Vainly trying to load his
carbine while his companion had
gone to the rear for another weap
on, Sergeant Harrell was wounded
again by a saber-wielding Jap.
Drawing his pistol, Harrell Killed
his opponent.
After ordering his fellow-Ma-
rine to safety, he killed one of
two charging enemy with bis pis
tol. The other Jap soldier suc
ceeded in throwing a grenade into
the sergeant’s position.
Pushed Away Grenade
Harrell managed to push the
grenade away just as it exploded.
The blast severed his other iiand,
but killed the Jap.
Weak and bleeding profusely,
Sergeant Harrell was evacuated
from a position surrounded by 12
dead Jaapnese, at least five of
whom he had killed.
The six portraits were a gift of
the class of 1895.
