Robin Hood Hat Starts
Revolution In Headgear
LONDON, W) — A prominent
London haberdasher said that
British men are leading a world
wide revolution. They are wear
ing hats again.
“Bare heads are no longer fa
shionable,” said hatter William
Lucas in an interview. “There’s a
real rush on these days for hats.
You may say it’s a revolution.”
Asked how he accounted for
the sudden return to hats, Lucas
replied: “The small hat did it. It
all started with the Robin Hood
style—a shape so revolutionary
that at first most chaps laughed
their heads off. Now it’s a best
seller.”
The Robin Hood has an ex
tremely narrow curled up brim,
coming to a point in front. The
crown is low.

Battlefield Rockets, Space
Missions Loom for Guard
The twentieth anniversary of
its mobilization for World War
II finds the National Guard
moving deeper into the age of
missile warfare and the space
program.
The Army National Guard,
now manning NIKE air defense
missile sites across the nation,
will begin receiving “Honest
John" battlefield rockets early
next year.
In the space
field, the Air
Force is now
preparing plans
to give the Air
National Guard
a r e s p o n
sible mission in
the space sur
\ veillance pro
- gram. At the
..present time,
Gen. McGowan Air Guard mis
s 1 o n s include
flying supersonic jet aircraft in
the active air defense of the
U. S., and installing communi
cations and electronics equip
ment at missile sites.
This ultra-modern military
force offers a striking contrast
to the equipment status of the
National Guard that was called
into federal service by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt in the
fall of 1940. Guardsmen took
part in maneuvers using sticks
and logs for machine guns,
stovepipes for artillery pieces,
and trucks for tanks. Given
proper weapons and vehicles
it took these men less than a
year to become seasoned vet
erans. Many Guard units were
in combat a year after being
called into service.
Most military men point out
that changing times present
changing — and challenging —
demands. It is now essential,
they contend, for Guard units
to train for possible employ
ment in a matter of weeks.
Major General Donald W.
McGowan, Chief of the National
Guard Bureau, expresses the
thought that the Guard’s in
creased ability to react to an
emergency is a result of a long
range training program aimed
at up-grading the Guard s
“mobilization readiness”.
This refers to tfce peacetime
training that cuts down the
amount of post-mobilization
training that would be needed
to certify a National Guard
unit as ready for deployment.
Assignment of the ultra-mod
ern “Honest John” rocket to
Army National Guard Divisions
is but the latest example of how
the Guard is well equipped.
The “Honest John” is a so
called “tactical rocket”, which
means it was designed for bat
tlefield use — to replace med
ium and long-range conven
tional artillery. It is a deadly
weapon — accurate, supersonic,
easily transportable, and able
to carry either an atomic or
high explosive warhead.
Within the next year, eight
combat divisions of the Army
National Guard will receive
their full complement of “Hon
est John” launchers. The units
to which they are assigned will
train with them year-round, and
upon mobilization would require
little additional training.
Constant Alert
One of the requirements for
keeping the Guard up-to-the
minute is that of planning for
future developments. No one
questions the present-day need
for Air Guard participation in
our Air Defense program. For
example many Air Guard squad
rons flying the latest super
sonic jets — F-lOOs, F-102s,
and F-104s — are on constant
alert, ready to defend our skies
on a moment’s notice.
But it is also recognized that
with the coming of the ballistic
missile, manned fighter aircraft
will someday begin to decline,
in numbers in the Air Force
inventory. Looking to this date,
the Air Force is now studying
ways in which to use the Air
Guard’s capabilities in its space
program. One of the early mis
sions in this field may well be
that of space surveillance. Air
Guard Aircraft Control and
Warning units, with their mod
em electronic equipment, could
easily be converted for such a
purpose. Space capsule recovery
has also been suggested as a
possible mission area for Aic
Guard flying units.
These are just a few of the
ways in which the modem-: ay
National Guard is training ior
tomorrow and planning for th*
day after.
Eichmann Freely
Admits His Part
In Jewish Purges
NEW YORK, m — Adolf Otto
Eichmann, the accused slayer of
six million Jews during the blood
baths of Hitler’s Third Reich,
freely admits participation in the
monstrous crime in his horror
filled personal memoirs.
“Where I was implicated in the
physical annihilation of Jews,”
the captured Nazi war criminal
says, “I admit my participation
and without pressure.”
The first installment of his
memoirs appears in the current
issue of Life magazine.
At one point, Eichmann de
clared: “At heart I am a very
sensitive man.”
At another point, in relatin'1
how he watched one mass exe
cution, he made this statement: “I
was reflecting about the meaning
of life in general.”
Then he reports details of the
first mass execution of Jews he
watched at Minsk—an episode in
which 5,000 men, women and
chillren were slain by the Nazis
as part of Hitler’s scheme to liq
uidate all Jews.
Eichmann insisted that he is not
anti-Semitic.
He had no wish, he said, to
harm “the individual Jew per
sonally.”
He was just “politically op
posed to Jews because they were
stealing the breath of life from
us.”
In presenting the memoirs, Life
magazine said Eichmann “con
victs himself as one of the major
Nazi war criminals. Yet he set it
down in the belief that his ver
sion of the truth would go far to
“explain” his actions and even
to exonerate him. Engaged in an
effort that dwarfed the extermin
ations of Genghis Kahn or Tam
erlane, he preserved the mental
ity of a competent bookkeeper,
eager to please his superiors.”
Eichmann, now in an Israeli
prison awaiting trial, was ab
ducted from Argentina last spring
by a band of Israeli secret agents
who had sought him for years.
A German journalist, Wilhelm
Sassen, put the memoirs together
from more than 900 pages of
handwritten' notes and transcrip
tions of tape-recorded interviews
with Eichmann in Buenos Aires
starting in 1955.

When, Where, and How
To Spank Children
KANSAS CITY, UP)—A psychia
trsit, recommending spanking as
a last resort, says you should
know how, when and where to
spank.
When — after lesser measures
fail.
Where — in private, after the
child has been told why he is
being punished.
How — bend him over your
knee.
Apply 10 swats to the bare bot

will make him howl, but he’ll re
