TU Historian Says Local Factor Vital
History of localities is as important as the history of the states and of the nation. Prof. Fulmer Mood, of the University of Texas, said yesterday in a lecture on "Pluralistic Localism."
It was the last of three lectures presented by Prof. Mood on "Structure of American Historiography." The lectures were sponsored by the department of history.
Localities is a new approach to history and views it in a new light, according to Prof. Mood. It focuses attention on the inhabitants of an area and their relationship with those of a neighboring area.
$\textcircled{6}$ Gen. Van Fleet said the division is one of two activated on the eve of the American Presidential election. The ability of the ROK army to take over more of the battlefront was a hot campaign issue.
"I feel one division will be ready in a very short time to take any assignment I give it, including replacement of an American division on the Line." Gen. Van Fleet told a press conference.
"The other will be ready a short time thereafter," he said.
He did not say whether such a replacement actually is planned or what would happen to any American division replaced by South Koreans.
Asked if he believed the Communists would throw a major offensive at the 8th army this winter, Van Fleet replied:
He added he believed the Reds' being the winner, and that his winter than at any other time.
Gen. Van Fleet said the Communists now have "quite a few over 1,000,000 men" in their army, two thirds of them Chinese.
"No, I wish they would. We'd finish them off."
"I'd estimate 300,000 of these are North Koreans," he said.
However, Gen. Van Fleet did not believe a major offensive was likely because of the difficulties of operating in the bitter Korean winter. On the contrary, he pointed out, the 8th army is "fully equipped and capable of conducting winter warfare."
"Three-quarters of them are combat troops and the other quarter are support. The enemy could throw 75 per cent of his men into the line."
"It's far superior." he added.
Most of his soldiers are unused to winter warfare, but he said the 8th army started preparing them early in the fall. So far, only 58 cases of frostbite have been reported.
