In Rain

FORT MEADE, Md, Sept. 20.
Despite storm and rain the bri-
gade maneuvers of the Third
Corps Area continued here today.
In conditions reminiscent of
war days in France, infantry and
cavalry plowed through the mud
while batteries of field artillery
and tanks found the going diff
cult.
The troops were thrown out to-
day in the most important phase
of the maneuvers, brigade move
ments with all branches of the
service coordinating.
TARGET PRACTICE
Following this major maneuver,
the troops will return to their
home posts, while reports of the
umpires will be studied by Off
GERS to determine the effective
ness of the troop movements.
The Third Cavalry and Six
teenth Field Artillery from Fort
Myer will remain at Fort Meade
for several days after the maneu-
vers end, firing on the target
ranges.
The maneuvers this year, the
most intensive ever held, have
brought all the latest developments
of the Army into the field.
MOBILE FORTS
While the cavalry still clings to
the horse, the regiment has been
semimotorized, having a number
of armored cars attached to it.
These cars are mobile forts,
armed with heavy and light ma
chine guns. antitank guns, and
equipped with radio so they can
keep in touch with regimental
headquarters at all times, giving
information of enemy" troop
movements.

GUARD PLEA
Space Needed for
372d InfGntrU

Limited armory space and facili-

Albert L. Cox, commander of the

son why the petition for expan-
sion of Company A of the 372d
Infantry would have to wait.
A delegation from the Fedora
tion of Civic Organizations yester-
day filed with General Cox a pc
tition for expanding this colored
company to a battalion. The group
conferred with him at the armory.
Although General Cox empha-
sized space limitations, he showed
his interest in the petition by
agreeing to attend the drill night
of the company next Monday
night at the Garnet-Patterson
School. WoolSey w. Hall was
spokesman for the delegation.
