NeuMachineG GunsFor |ArmyOfUnitedStates
They Are Light Weight, Semi-Automatic Rifles That Can Be Easily Carried While on March-29th
 Infantry to Try Them Out

Washington, Aug. 2S-(UP) - The war department today an- nouned that development of new lightweight machine guns and semi-automatic rifles has made possible a reorganization of infan- try units, increasing the army's mo. sbiiity -andpcffeeti ss.A----s,aasA- '-----s
 Under the new plan, heavy ma. chine gun companies, hitherto at tached to each infantry battalion, will be consolidated with trench mortar units in separate battalions.
 The lighter battalions will carry new weapons which the war de- partment said would give them a greater fire power than they form erly had even with the support of machine-gun companies.
 Each Regiment Helped
 Under this arrangement each in- fantry regiment will contain three rifle or light battalions and one supporting or heavy battalion.
 Gen. Douglas Macarthur, chief of staff, has designated the 29th infantry, stationed at Fort Ben- ming, Ga, to experiment with the new regimental organization. De- cision whether to extend 1t throughout the army will depend on outcome of these tests.
 Army officials anticipate a marked increase in the mobility of infantry regiments. The light bat italians will have no weapon not readily carried by a machine sol- dier.
 The heavy units will use fast motor vehicles. Fron line battal- ions, unencumbered by horses, will be able to use motor vehicles for long and rapid marches. on ths battlefield their movements will be likewise facilitated.
