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.

Metcalf said. “We were

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.
