About Japanese guild-Up

Washington (NEA) — U.S.
strategists have plans to make
Japan an official cornerstone of
defense planning for the Far
feet,
First step: signing of the new
jaPaneee-U-S. Security Treaty
here January 19 with Prime
Minister leialeusulte Kishi,
Current. U.S. defense strategy
Makes it crucial to keep the
Japanese industrial base — one
of the world's strongest —out of
Russian or Red Chinese hands.
Red absorption would tip the
World's economic balance of
power dangerously the Red way,
The new treaty will keep the
United States air and naval
bases in Japan. It commits the
Japanese to fight side-by-side
with the Americans in defending
the islands, It ties them to the
U.S. side.
But note these less happy
facts:
• The treaty won't reduce 'U.S.
defense costs in Japan, It in-
ereases them by at least the $30
million a year that Japan has
been contributing to the support
of U.S, forces there.
$ It doesn't commit the Japan-
ese to modernize their forces to
a point where Japan could han-
dle its defense alone. although
Americans feel Japan is now
strong, enough economically to
carry out a massive moderniza-
tion program.
• The treaty doesn't commit
the Japanese to come to the aid
of the U,S. if America again gets
ners say, so long as the U,S, has
WO a limited capacity for brush
wars and such small ground
forces.
The treaty Was the first and
vital step, Pentagon planners
were worried that JaPan Would
not sign. The previous treaty
was essentially a part of a deal
for giving Japae its independ-
enee, This is the first security
treaty the and Japan have
worked out since Japan was
given complete independence
and could freely make her own
decisions,
U,S, State and Defense Depart-
ment men had been concerned
about reports of a Japaneses
trend toward neetralism. There
has been heavy criticism of U.S.
Air and Navy forces being in
Japan, There have been asser-
tions that U.S. Air and Naval
bases meant colonialism. There
have been men ardently push-
ing the' thought that Japan
should follow an independent
world course on the Indian pat-
tern.
U.S, diplomats and military
men have now stopped holding
their colective breath.
The Japanese Army has quiet-
ly been built up to 170,000 men.
It's better officered, better train-
ed, has more initiative than the
Japanese forces that swept to
Singapore, the Philippines and
Indonesia in 1941-42. Its equip-
ment is largely World. War II
type. It has no missile units,
There's a national police reserve
of 110,000.
Japan has only a 100,000-ton
navy of small ships and one sub-
marine. It has an air force of
1,064 planes — including 455 F-86
jets.
With U.S. air and naval sup-
port, it's estimated here, the
Japanese could give even in-
vading Russians a hard go. It's
believed that they could tie up
for a critical period of time a
sizeable number of Soviet troops.
U.S. strategy aims at encour-
aging the Japenese to build up
their army and to modernize
with Japanese-built tanks, self-
propelled artillery and missiles.
They think the Japanese should
do this modernizing primarily
with their own fields — plus $110
million worth of. U.S. aid.
With modernization and an-
other boost in Japanese troops
plus U.S. air and sea aid, it's
believed here, the Rusians might
hesitate before attempting an in-
vasion of Japan. The Reds could
take the islands if they were
willing to pay top price, but the
cost would be heavy. Perhaps it
would be too heavy considering
what the Soviets would face else-
where in a war.

involved in defense operations
in Korea, Formosa or other
points outside Japan.
• It doesn't even commit'
Japan to serve as a repair base,
staging ground or rear echelon
site for American forces fighting
in the Far East outside Japan.
The use of Japan as a manu-
facturing, supply and rear eche-
lon base cut U.S. supply lines
thousands of miles — made it
possible to keep U.S. forces from
being thrown out of Korea in

This fifth column is moisture

made cigarette lighters had once

These absurdities obviously
boomerang against the sponsor
who meddles.
It would make much more
sense for the networks to handle
all programing; then sell adver-
tising time to the sponsors, who
could choose their time slot to
give them whatever type of pro-
gram they feet would best reach
and please the audience they
are seeking.
That would leave the integrity
of the program and its creators
protected from meddling.. But the
sponsor could choose the general
fare his name and his share of
the $783,00.0,000 would be associ-
ated with.

Here's something. good. It's
called Butter Crunch, and it can
be used in many ways on or
with desserts, writes Gertrude

brown sugar (packed down), 1
cup sifted f lour, 1/2 cup chop-
ped walnuts, pecans, or coconut.
Mix these ingredients with your
hands, Spread the mixture in an
oblong pan (13 x 91/2 x 2). Bake
15 minutes in a preheated oven at
400° F. Take from oven, stir with
spoon 'to form ' crumbs. This
makes 21/2 cups. You can either
cool it and store in a covered
container in the refrigerator for
later use, or press the warm
crumbs into a pie plate as a
crumb crust.
If you keep Butter Crunch for
later use, here are some ways to
try it. Make a pudding with pud-
ding mix and, while it is hot,
pour it into a flat serving- dish
and sprinkle with 1 cup Butter
Crunch. Serve with cream.
Or pour chilled custard over
cut-up fruit or berries, sprinkle
with Butter Crunch. Here's an-
other: Pour 2 cups sweetened

dish. Cover with 1/2 cup whipped
cream, and sprinkle with 1 cup

into the air and washing the
dishes brings another pint,
Where do these 61/4 gallons go?
Water vapor, like any other gas,
seeks an area or lesser presSure
this case, the out-of-doors.
Unless there is a barrier of some
sort, the water vapor enters the
walls and passes right through
them. When it reaches the inner
surface of the exterior walls,
which in the winter are much
colder, the moisture condenses
and soaks into the wood siding,
This can cause the wood to swell,
warp, crack, and rot.
When no more water can be
held by the siding, it will emerge
on the outside and condense
against the paint. If these drop-
lets of water freeze, the expan-
sion during yfreezing can crack
the paint. Ae the spring sun gets
hotter, it will 'change the liquid
water into a yaeor and the pres-
sure of the vapor will blister
the paint. Subsequent invasions
of moisture can cause the paint
to crack and peel.
Now the paint can no longer
perform its function of protect-
ing the home against the 'on-
slaughts of rain, sleet, and snow.
It is simple to prevent the
water vapor from entering the
walls and doing the damage des-
cribed above. All that has to be
done is to interpose an imper-
meable vapor barrier between
the moisture and the walls.
There are two types of vapor
barriers. The first consists of
placing a sheeting of some type
across the inner surface of the
exterior walls when the house is
being built. Care must be taken
that this barrier is not broken
by workmen installing electrical
outlets, plumbing, and the like.
The second type of vapor bar-
rier consists of applying the
proper kind of paint to the walls
of the rooms themselves. In a,
new home this has the advantage
of being done after all other
craftsmen have finished their
work, thus leaving no holes in
the dike.
In older homes that were buile
without a mechanical vapor bar-
rier, paint it the only solution:
What kind of paint to use?
Gloss paints, oil-based primer
sealers, and varnishes are all
good Vapor barriers. They would
be followed by whatever decora-
tive topcoat the homeowner de-
sires, In older houses, apply the
primer sealer over existing flat
paint or wallpaper. And don't
forget the inside of closets and
