Top speed of the tanks in this
class has not been revealed by the
war department, but some estimates
range as high as As miles an hour
on rough ground. Construction is to
be as rapid as possible, with deliver
les starting in the early fall.
The army now has about 5000
tanks of all understandable, under
construction, or ordered. An addi-
tional 5000 are expected to be pro-
vided in the new $1,000, 000, 900 de-
tense program, which congress will
begin considering.

duuTtSS WHICH no
man in high official position should
make"
II know all about your Speech"
Roosevelt replied in effect, land I
still want you to be secretary of
war;"
Stimson then replied that the deci-
sion was so momentous that he
wanted two or three hours to talk it
over with his wife and close friends.
Take all the time you want, Hen
ry," said the President.
Note-To get the full significance
Of this exchange, it is necessary to
remember that Stimson and Roose-
welt had fought each other in New
York state politics ever since 1910,
when Stimson ran for governor and
Roosevelt, just out of Harvard, ran
for the state senate.
After two or three hours Slim
son telephoned the President and
accepted the appointment. Howev-
er, he added one condition.
"Tm not as young as I used to
be-" he said, land 1 can't work ID
and 20 hours day any more. There
fore I've got to have men around
me whom I know intimately and can
absolutely trust. A tremendous re-
sponsibility will be on my Shout
ders," Stimson added, land can
not afford to fail"
To this Roosevelt replied in BAN
tering tone: Appoint anyone you
want, Henry. The only thing ask
Is not to appoint too many Repub-
icans at the very first"
Stimson apparently did not catch
the joking note in the Presidents
voice, for he replied: You can
rest assured, Mr.. President, that
whether Democrats or Republicans,
they will be good men,"
The first man Stimson asked to
help him in Washington was DEM
ocrat, Benedict Crowell, now presi-
dent of the Central National bank of
Cleveland and formerly assistant
secretary of war under Woodrow
Wilson. He is also a close friend
of Roosevelt's, who was then assis-
tant secretary of the navy. Crowen
got to know Stimson when the war
department was under bitter Repub-
lican attack in 1920, and Stimson, a
Republican and an ex-secretary of
war, defended him.
So this time Stimson asked
Crowell to help him, by going to
Washington and making a quiet sur
vey of the situation inside the war
department. Stimson had not yet
been confirmed by the senate and
could not make the survey himself
But he wanted to know all the facts
in advance in order to waste no
time once he took the oath of office.
Crowell made the survey and re-
ported that the production of new
war weapons and material was pro-
crossing most satisfactorily. How
ever. he found the war department
rent with feuds and the personnel
situation badly in need of reorgani-
cation.

STIMSON GIVEN FULL
AUTHORITY

Henry L. Stimson, Republican
secretary of war, and the only man
in the United States who has served
in three cabinets (Taft's, Hoover's
and Roosevelt's) is proceeding eau
tiously. But he has been given COM
plete authority by Roosevelt to re-
organize the entire war department,
even including the BUSTING of Demo-
cratic appointees.
The inside story of Stimson's ap-
pointment can now be told.
1t so happened that he had just
delivered strong pro-allied address

NEW NAVAL BOSS

Col. Frank Knox, new Republican
secretary of the navy, already has
been sized up by the admirals. They
describe their new boss this way:
"Hard-boiled and seems to know his
stuff"
Naval officers frankly admit, how
ever, that they don't like Knox
which is a good omen. For the ad-
mirals never like secretary of the
navy who really runs the show.
And in the navy today thev certainly
need a two-fisted secretary
Note-It is significant that Knox
is clearing all naval changes through
Roosevelt. The President still keeps
the navy as his governmental pet.

TT Armv Buvs 627 Tanks at Cost of Eleven Millions

The average cost of $17,500 per
tank was hailed by the army as an
achievement. The army previously
has been paying about S25, 900 for
light tanks.
The new tanks were described in
army circles as representing last
minute developments in armored We
hicles. They will weigh about IL
tons each and will be equipped with
five 80 and so caliber machine
guns and one 81 nm. cannon.
