> WASHINGTON, ItfV—'The Army
Friday launched a new training
program for warfare in the atomic
age that calls for maneuvers from
Louisiana to Alaska.
The eight training exercises to
be undertaken in the next 12
months will include tactics that
assume the use of atomic, chemi
cal and bacteriological warfare.
Also included is an amphibious
operation.
Three of the exercises, designed
to provide arctic training, will
take place in Alaska.
Operation “Arctic Night” is
scheduled for Februar/ and March
and will employ a battalion of the
5th Regimental Combat Team.
About 2,000 men of the 5th
RCT will participate in Exercise
“Moose Horn” in Alaska in Janu-|
ary and February. This will em
phasize problems in moving troops
equipped for battle over land in
arctic conditions.
A smaller group of soldiers will
go to Big Delta, Alaska, late this
month to take part in “Arctic In
doctrination,” an exercise in arc
tic tactics and techniques.
The first of the exercises, “Op
eration Lodestar,” got underway
at Camp Hale, Colo., and will be
carried on in three phases for the
next nine months. It will give
some 5,000 troops special training
in mountain and cold weather
operations in high altitudes of the
Rocky Mountains.
The biggest exercise on the new
schedule is “Operation Sage
Brush,” a combined Army-Air
Force maneuver involving some
110,000 ground troops and 30,500
Air Force men. This big maneuver
will take place during November
and December in the area of
Camp Polk, Louisiana.

Whitlock figures that even
though he may have to pay a
few thousands to have the house
moved to a new location, he’s
still ahead a tidy sum.

Woman, 3 Children
Released From
Czechoslavakia
LONDON —Communist Czech
oslavakia Saturday bowed to Brit- •
ain’s demands for the release of
British-born Phyllis Sispera and
her three young children.
The Foreign Office announced
that the Prague government has
agreed to let Mrs. Sispera, a
Czech citizen through marriage,
leave the country with her chil
dren. Her husband, a Czech, is
imprisoned on charges of treason.
For the determined Mrs. Sis
pera it marked the successful cul
mination of a seven-year fight to
go home—and take her children
with her. She had resisted sugges
tions she go alone and leave them
behind.
The British Foreign Office has
been negotiating for years to get
Mrs. Sispera—along with other
British-born wives of Czechs—out
of the country.
Within the past week, Britain
delivered two stiff protests to
Prague with warnings that failure
to let the women go was “poison
ing relations” between Britain
and Czechoslavakia.
The children have been held in
a Prague children’s home.
Czech police picked up Mrs.
Sispera in her Prague apartment
early Tuesday. She was suddenly
returned Thursday as Britain be
gan firing off angry protests to
Prague. According to Mrs. Sis
pera’s story, she was allowed to
see her children for a few hours,
then her husband she had been
compelled to divorce. She refused
to stay in Czechoslavakia altho
the police promised to release her
former husband, give him a min
ing job, and provide the whole
family “a nice villa” in which to
live.
