 New Squad Tactics
 New tactics for squad leaders "in accordance with old conceptions the squad leader maintained a position well in the rear of his squad. He moved to the front only when the squad was to advance. (Under the new tactics) the position of the squad leader is to the front of the squad where he can observe the foreground and enemy activity and be in readi- ness to take such action, either fire or movement, as the situation may call for"
 Anti-tank tacticS-"The advent of the fast tanks in recent European operations has given the impression that the 'mechanized monsters can sweep infantry from the battlefield. However with the introduction of light handled anti-tank weap- ons in the forward infantry zone, backed up by anti-tank guns in the regimental zone, and the training of infantry soldiers to take cover in fox-holes or other places unfavor- able to tank attack while the tanks pass over, the danger of tank attack crushing the infantry has been re- duced."
 Anti-aircraft tactics "Rif1emen and automatic rifle squads are the most effective of all types of small arms fire against dive bomb ing Foreign reports indicate that the concentration of small arms fire is more deadly to the low-flying air plane than anti-aircraft guns, which may be discovered prior to the at- tack"

 Curb On President
 The curb on the powers of tia CIO president was suggested by the ACW, it was said, in an effort to prevent occurrences of Lewis en- dorsement of Republican Presiden- tial Nominee Wendell L. Willkie without consulting the CIO board. The proposed resolution would re- Quire that "all acts" of a CIO pres- ident, including appointment of or- ganizers, representatives and other agents, shall be subject to the ap- prova lof CIO executive commit tee composed to the president, six vice presidents and the secretary.
 Although 8 CIO vice president, Hillman absented himself from the CIO executive board meeting held one block away at the same time as the Amalgamated executive seS- sion. He and Lewis have not spok- en in months, largely due to poli- tical differences. Hillman support ed President Roosevelt's reelection.
 Hillman, Lewis Quarrel
 The Hillman-Lewis quarrel was among the first matters taken up by the CIO board. Gustave A. Strebel, president of the New York State In- dustrial Union council and Hill- man supporter, was summoned be- fore the board soon after 1t con- vened and it was reported that he was to be questioned about the &C., tions of the New York CIO group which endorsed MT. Roosevelt and demanded Lewis resignation.
 Close associates of Lewis, who is seeking wage increases for his own union, the United Mine Workers of America, meanwhile were confident he would resign in accordance with his prediction pledge.
 Lewis aides said he would spurn any effort to draft him for another term as CIO president. They be- lieved he would offer his resignation and sing his swan song as CTO lead CT at the opening convention session Monday, rather than before the CIO executive board meetings which be- gan at 10 a. m. today.
 The U. M. w. policy committee, speaking for approximately 100000 soft coal miners announced that "it is apparent that there is need for increasing wages to enable mine workers and their families to secure more of the necessaries of life" Con- tracts between the union and soft coal operators expire April l, and the U. M. w. representatives indicated that they would ask a 30 hour week and vacations with pay as well as an indefinite pay increase in the ne- gotiations which begin in New York March II.
 There was abundant evidence oi dissension within the CIO.
 Vice-President Sidney Hillmar will absent himself from the board meetings, although he will be less than one block away attending the board meetings of his own Amalga- mated Clothing Workers of America Hillman said the meeting would oc- cupy his time. but Jacob s.

BRITISH SMASH BERLIN AGAIN
Continued from Page D

The ministry indicated that large numbers of British planes partici- pated in last nights raids and that in addition to heavy damage at Berlin great fires and explosions were caused in German .'invaSion" ports and the submarine base at Lorient which the British have ben trying to render useless to U-boats oper- ating against British shipping in the Atlantic.
 Attacks in London
 London, Nov. 15.-(UP)-Twisting, circling airplane exhaust trailS streaked the sky over London today, indicating that an air battle was in progress during the city's daylight alarm.
 It was revealed that Buckingham News had been hit by a small caliber bomb in a recent raid. The bomb damaged a flat normally occupied by stableman and clipped the face of the clock in the tower overlooking Buckingham Palace road. All palace staff members were in shelters at the time and the king and queen were absent from the palace.
 An air ministry-home security ministry communique said last nights attacks were directed mainly at the midlands and that there was 8 "very heavy attack on one mid- land town, with many fires and con- siderable damage caused. .. A full report is not yet available but it is feared that casualties were heavy"
 The communique said that in the London area last night, bombs were dropped by intermittent raiders and that "houses and other buildings were destroyed and some people killed and others injured"
 Bombs also were dropped in 8 number of widely separated districts of England and Wales where some houses were damaged, but casualties were few" the communique said.
 Hospitals Hit
 Two hospitals were bombed in the London area and at one of them, doctors, nurses and porters worked all night beside rescue crews to move brick and fallen masonry to get into a section where a number of bed- ridden patients were trapped. A high explosive bomb struck 8 wing of the building and three other bombs fell in the hospital grounds. A number of patients were killed in. stantly.
 The staff from the undamaged section of the hospital rushed through clouds of dust to start res- cuing the trapped patients, whose cries could be heard plainly. The reScuers worked under shielded flashlights while raiders were still overhead. Houses near the hospital also caved in, trapping their occu- pants.
 The other hospital damaged was a maternity home in the London outskirts. Ground floor windows and doors were blown in but the upper floors escaped serious damage. The metron said 18 mothers and IA chil- dren escaped injury. They were in an especially protected ground floor ward.
 A London school used as fire and ambulance station was hit directly by bomb, with some casualties,

 Early Man-Handled
 Steve was man-handled by the Negro policeman and thrown for cibly back" Reynolds said. "If he had not landed in my arms he would have been knocked to the floor. There was no kicking, al- though the policeman undoubtedly was injured in the general scuffle. But it is noteworthy that when Early went upstairs to find su- perior officer the Negro policeman followed-two steps at time. Any one injured in the manner he claims to have been doesn't run up flight of stairs. He goes down"

 Another Account
 John c. Henry in the Washington Evening Star wrote:
 "The sergeant, the white officer at his right and colored officer at his left converged upon Steve and pushed him forcibly backward. They pushed me aside at the same time. One of the newspapermen directly behind Steve braced him, probably saving him from being knocked down. As he went backward. Steve raised his hands and a knee. The colored officer im- emdiately backed away, complained that he had been hit in the stom- ach and appealed to. his sergeant. The latter, excited throughout the entire incident, did nothing"
 The Editor and Publisher article says that in no version which came to the attention of the White House Correspondents Association was there a variance on an important detail.
 "The consensus was-and is-thas Secretary Early was victimized when he attempted to perform a service to the newspapers Of the United States" the article concludes.
 The patrolman who was hurt in the incident at the station was James Sloane. 42. who had been operated upon for hernia a few months ago. The incident occurred on the night Of Oct. 28. after Pres hent Rooseyelt's speech at Madison Buuafe Garden.

An infantryman no longer will "shoot his way forward"
 Squad leaders will actually be lead- CTS, taking positions aread of their men even when under cover.
 Heretofore, there were two funda- mental forms of activity for an in fantryman in battle - he was either in movement or was firing. New tactics make activity in cover posi- tionS of equal importance.
 The revolution in tactics - "such as has never occurred before in the American Army in time of peace" - was disclosed in new 320-page In- fantry Field Manual written by Ma jor General A. Lynch, chief of the infantry and one of the Army'S Ace tacticians. The manual has been issued to officers in all branches of the Army and will be the basis for training Of the record peacetime army.
 Manual Orders
 Based on reports of German blitzkrieg tactics tactics being the art of using a fighting force when, through strategy. it has been concen- tratd at a given place at a given time), the manual stresses:
 1. The need of cooperation and coordination of artillery, aviation, tank and heavy weapon units with infantry.
 2. Abandonment of the old World War theory of mass infantry attack along the entire line of an enemy in favor of smaller groups of troops which single out "soft spots" to smash.
 3. Effective utilization of fast firing anti-tank guns, semi-automatic rifles and other new weapons against tank, dive and machine gunning plane attacks.
 Previously an infantryman fired to get the fire superiority necessary for his advance and moved when it was obtained. That was called shooting his way forward"
 Infantry activity no longer is linn tied to firing and moving" Lynch said. During much of his time in battle man will be in a cover po- sition in readiness either to move or to fire. Unless sufficient support ing nre to permit his advance is developed, he conseves his fight ing power by remaining under cover or by combining his fire with that of supporting weapons to make pos sible the advance of adjacent units whose situations may be more favor able than his.

Nazi Coventry Story

Berlin, Nov. 15-(UP)-A fleet Of more than 500 German warplanes attacking the historic English city of Coventry. was reported by the high command today to have caused ; terrible desolation and monstrous fires" in war factories and ware houses.
 i Nazi sources claimed that the Brit ish airplane industry had been hit a crushing blow by the raid on Coventry.
 All large and small airplane fac- { tories at Coventry were described here as virtually wiped out" The NaI planes bombing Coven- try in what was said to be "the greatest attack in the history of aerial warfare" were reported to have dropped more than 2200 pounds of high explosives each, making a total of more than 100000 pounds, in addition to 10000 pounds of fire bombs.
 The attacks were directed, the high command said, at number of motor works, airplane factory targets and other plants.
 The fires fled on raw materials in warehouses" the communique said, and could be seen as far away as the English channel coast.
 The high command said that the German air force attacked munitions plants and one Royal Air Force sup- ply depot. gas works and other tar gets in towns Of the midlands, as well as scoring three hits on the Dover radio station.
 British losses were put at 20 planes Of which i2 were shot down by Ger man anii-aircraft guns and one by naval artillery Five German planes we're listed as missing.

throughout the long raid. At times the barrage was so intense it was impossible to distinguish the bursts of individual shells. A United Press correspondent and another Ameri- can newspaper man, driving along street after midnight looking for the wreckage of British plane reported iy shot down near the Feorkers bar racks in a southern suburb, were caught in an anti-aircraft barrage and saw a binding flash in the air, followed by a thick cloud of black smoke.
 Red. Green Flares
 Several red and green flares and four yellow parachute flares fell from the cloud. Then, all around the cloud, which was about 2,000 feet up, trails of glowing sparks began drop ping like ashes from a bonfire.
 The cloud slowly dissolved in ever widening rings. Evidently this dis play was caused when an airplane received a direct hit and its bomb load or gasoline tank exploded.
 Residents of the suburb said later they had found small pieces of aluminium and other airplane parts scattered for mile along the streets.
 The communique said that "by dif- ferent routes, stronger units of the Royal Air Force than previously flew into Germany to bomb the Reich capital"
 Most of the raiders were headed of, but 10 or IS reached the Berlin area, it continued.
 Three of the raiders were shot down in west Germany, one just outside the Berlin barrage ring, and four within the city area, according to the communique.
 Informed quarters said that at least four of the British flyers shot down landed in parachutes and were taken prisoners.

Berlin, Nov. 15-UP)-Dog meat for years has been consumed in some quarters in Germany as 8 del- icacy, authorized German quarters said today in commenting on a new decree providing that slaughtered dogs must be certified as fit for hu- man consumption.
 Germans eat dog meat in peace time as well as wartime, authorized quarters said. poipting out that in 1912, according to the records, l0,- 900 dogs were slaughtered and eat- en throughout Germany.

He said special meeting of the National Defense Commission, on which he is the labor representa- tive, would be held Monday in Washington, and he had important conferences scheduled for Tuesday. He only smiled when asked if he would be free to attend the conven- t!on during the latter part of next week.
 Two Amalgamated presidents refused to serve on CIO convention committees to which they had been appointed by Lewis, because of dis satisfaction with the men Lewis named as chairmen.
 Hillman indicated that he would not be candidate for reelection as a CIO vice-president.
 CIO Vice-President Philip Murray, a longtime associate of Lewis but &C., ceptable to Hillman because he backed MT. Roosevelt for reelection, is expected to succeed Lewis as CIO president.

Of course, the Allies may have learned

over the possibility that releasing this plane

1t is even more understandable that questions
should be raised when it is no secret that the
Allied commission would like to get the very
latest American ships for their use.
Because of American sympathy for the AL.

out saying that that should not happen. On
the other hand, with advancement as rapid as
it has been in late years in the design of
military planes, there is no reason why we
should not let the Allies have the ships that
are the next thing to the newest and best
we have.
That has been the policy. 1t should be con-
tinued. There is not much point in overload
