Page 4 College Station, Texas Tuesday, March 11, 1969 THE BATTALION Army Chow Preparation May End Kitchen Patrol FT. BENNING, Ga. — The general and his staff sat down to chow Monday, and Army pri vates everywhere had a stake in the outcome. Prepared like something out of science fiction, it could mean the end of kitchen duty—KP. Come To Bryan Gospel Church, 207 W. 28th St. Bryan, Texas every Sunday and hear some students from International Bible College, San Antonio, Tex as, who love the Lord. They play, they sing, they preach — Come one. Come all. The first step in a 10-day test of an Army field program, it was a demonstration of the ultimate in field kitchens — economical, efficient and stocked with dispos able utensils. In the demonstration, three cooks prepared 50 pounds of roast beef and baked 120 potatoes for Maj. Gen. John M. Wright Jr. and 75 other officers. It took them just 30 minutes, including 10 for serving. The field kitchen, called “Sub- sistance Preparation by Electronic Defusion,” has its own generator. It has two average-sized ovens, and enough refrigeration space for one day’s food for 200 men. THE OVENS cook by micro- wave which, the developers say, vibrate water molecules and start the cooking from within. The Army says the kitchen, which can be carried on a two-ton truck, dan prepare a meal in one- sixth the time now required. The contraption is 12 feet long, 7 feet wide and 8 feet high. In side it resembles the kitchen in an efficiency apartment. By pushing buttons, three cooks can prepare 100 pounds of roast beef an hour, or a turkey in 45 minutes, and six loaves of bread in four minutes. Officers at the test luncheon said that, for the most part, the food was excellent. The experimental field kitchen is being developed by the U.S. Army Laboratory at Natick, Mass. No cost estimates are available. If the Army approves it, it is still years from active duty.

Confab Speaker Calls For Blend Of Ag, Industrial, Tourist Growth SAIGON (A*)—Foreign Minis ter Tran Chanh Tranh said Mon day night the Viet Cong’s Na tional Liberation Front is “emerging from its nothingness into some kind of reality.” Thanh, echoing a statement by Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky last Dec. 23, added, however, that the front is still not an entity. In a speech to a Saigon Lions Club dinner, Thanh seemed to be underscoring a gradual evolu tion in South Vietnam’s position toward the front, which it once wrote off as an illegal, subver sive organization which had no right to speak for South Viet namese people. KY HAD SAID that when North Vietnam withdraws its forces from the South and there is international control of the de militarized zone, South Vietnam will be willing to deal with all opposition groups, including the front. The foreign minister said Ha noi has been “imperceptibly but steadily” shifting its position on the status of the front. From re ferring to it as the “only gen uine representative” of South Vietnam it is now called the “authentic representative.” THANH INDICATED Saigon may be inching closer to direct talks with the guerrilla politi cians, saying: “Despite violets and violations, let us hope tk some day, not too distant jfe the two sides will heed and la each other, then reach * agreement that shall bring ik war to an end by a just and lit ing peace.” Thanh called for an endtoti “dialogue between the deaf’t the Paris peace conference it suggested differences in won meanings, even between the ti Vietnamese government delep tions, may be at the rootofw; disagreement. He cited such words as aggiu sion, withdrawal, self-deterni- tion and reunification.

A well-balanced industrial de velopment program yields the greatest benefit for the local economy, an A&M economist de clared Monday. James R. Bradley, head of the Industrial Economics Research Division, said it is often “a com mon error on the part of the un informed community leader to assume that there is some con flict of interest between industrial development, agricultural devel opment and tourist development. “Actually, an intelligent pro gram blends these various pro grams into one and yields what is best for the community. These three activities each contribute to the success of the other and there should not be any competitive aspects,” he continued. ADDRESSING MEMBERS of the third course of instruction in Basic Industrial Development, Bradley pointed out that “better than half of the new plants that might locate in an area will use some agricultural raw materials or process some product used on the farm.” The course is sponsored by the Texas Industrial Development Council and the Research Division in cooperation with the Texas Industrial Commission. It is ac credited by the American Indus trial Development Council. Opening sessions were held Monday following registration and welcoming addresses Sunday. Putting you first, keeps us first. Classes continue through Friday (March 14). “It must be remembered that almost any community improve ment program which makes a community more attractive for industry, will, at the same time, make the community a better place to live,” Bradley stressed. “ANY INDUSTRIAL program . . . falls short of its goal if it doesn’t build a better community,” he went on. “Industrial develop ment means more than just build ing a factory or locating a ware house. It means development of a community, an area and often a region.” Bradley said the basic purpose for industrial development is to lay the foundation for growth. “Now you may immediately ask the question, but why growth ? I think that a very simple answer is ‘to survive’,” he said. “An area that stops growing begins imme diately to retrogress.” Bradley also noted development provides jobs for young people in the community. Without adequate jobs, he said towns lose an im portant investment since it costs on an average of $457 a year to educate a child in public schools or $5,484 in 12 years. Every citizen including the housewife, church, P-T.A., garden club and civic leader has a ’’direct stake in industrial development,” Bradley concluded. 1 0 3 ^ /ipoDoKomt# The 1 ship < teams F: Drill of hand icross i the ai Meet h Twen pate in the la: nounced is presii Former bers, w' with th The t versity out-of-s overall year by EXH1 earns, tantes iponsoi of Texa light th DENOUNCE CHINESE Soviet citizens, some with placards, parade in front of tilt Red Chinese embassy in Moscow in a protest demonstra tion.
