BY NELSON M. SHEPARD.


You know what happens when a
angry garden ants attack maraud-
ing beetle.
The result is invariably fatal to
the beetle, despite its size and outer
| protective armor. 1t is simply out
numbered and overpowered by a foe
that doesn't know what it means
to give up. Or it Is quickly put to
rout.
American military experts claim
the tough little bantam" car is
the Army's equivalent to the en-
battled ant and provides, perhaps,
the most effective answer yet found
to the tank attack. The bantam
can carry a field gun over terrain
that would stop many tanks and
happieSt prospect of all, they can
be put out on a mass production
basis at small cost.
There is no secret in the fact
that the Army has been giving this
tough vehicle a thorough test with
armored, artillery, infantry and
cavalry divisions and it has stood
up under every demand. BY apply
ing the tactics used by the ants
against the armored tank of the
insect kingdom, Army men believe
the bantam cars, in sufficient num-
bers, should be able to swarm all
over a column of tanks on the
battlefield.
New Tank Defenses Developed.
No doubt, they will be used and
watched closely during the coming
summer field maneuverS.
The devastating and crushing
attacks of the Panzer divisions in
Flanders and more recently in the
Balkans have set military men to
the task of deviSing newer and more
effective ways to stop the tanks"
The United States Army is not COM
pletely won over to the theory of
huge-Sized tanks and appears to
placing its reliance in the light and
medium tanks which are now being
produced in increasing numbers, At
nearby Fort Belvoir, Va, site of the
Engineers School, men are being
trained in the uniformly adopted
methods of resisting tank attacks.
Tank traps" iron barriers, anti
tank guns, buried mines and
grenades that explode blazing gaso-
line are among these usual methods.
Then along came the bantam
car, a quarter-ton truck as fast as
a jack-rabbit and almost as nimble.
1t has a four-wheel drive, which
makes it possible to pull out of any
hole, and is designed to carry three
men and their individual weapons.
The bantam car soon acquired the
name of "jeeps" and puddle
jumper" because of its demonstrated
antics. 1t is so light that if it
turns over, its own crew can pick
it up and away it will go again. 1t
is so stoutly built that Army men
soon saw how it could be equipped
with a single small field cannon
effective against tanks.
Substitute for Side Cars.
The bantam car has been under
test since last fall and has made
good under every sort of condition.
At first it was intended solely as an
inexpensive truck to take the place
of the so-called command cars. 1t
has been and is being used as a
substitute for motorcycle side-cars.

CROWD
EXPECTED TOMORROW AND
SUNDAY AT ANNUAL SHOW
Rodeo, Horse Racing, Livestock Show, Among Events
On Program For 26th Annual County Fair
At Sonoita; Dance Saturday
GATES TO OPEN AT9 9A.M. TOMORROW

The Santa Cruz County Fair,
each year a magnet for several
thousand southern Arizona and
northern Sonora residents who
come from miles around to view
the colorful exhibits, rodeO and
horse races, livestock show and
ether attractions, will open at
Sonoita at 9 am. tomorrow
morning for a two day stand.
AS the gates swing open it will
mark the beginning of the 26th
annual fair and a few CT the old
timers of this section of the country
will be on hand to compare the 1941
event, with its well-arranged pro-
Gr;am in a modern plant, to the
first tiny fair held in 1915.
Pioneers recalled yesterday that
the first annual county fair was
attended by a mere handful Of
country folks and was staged
more as a "get-together" than any,
thing else. These hardy rancherS
approve of the growth and progress
of the affair, however, and point out
that the fair has been ceatly re-
sponSible for the building up Of SUI
perior herds in southern Arizona.
For the last several months COM
mittee workers have devoted much
time and effort in preparing for the
coming event and there is hardly
a rancher in eastern Santa Cruz
County who has not contributed
something toward the 1941 show.
Many other interested parties from
Pima and Cochise counties have
likewise had a hand in preparing
the show.
Directly in charge of the event is
Harold B. Thurber, president OF the
Santa Cruz County Fair and Rodeo
He has been ably as
sisted in his work by Miss Doris
seibold, association secretary, and
Ed LeGendre, treasurer.
With exhibits arranged and the
stage set for two days OF rodeo
competition and horse races, off,
,ials yesterday expressed belief that

Endorsement by Secretary of War
Stimson of legislation by Senator
Mead, Democrat, of New York to
broaden the authority of Federal
Reserve banks to make loans to
small concerns for capital. Mr.

inland waterway carriers in hauling
materials vital to national defense
production. An informal meeting
with barge operators, he said, re-

consult with Government agencies.
Labor Program Inadequate.

that plans for utilizing the reser-

Returning to the Capitol from
committee hearings in Detroit, Mr.
Tolan said a program should be
evolved which would carry at least
through December when a further
cut in automobile production is
scheduled
Such a program, he said. should
include an inventory of the skills
of all auto workers now employed.
"All workers not sufficiently
trained should begin within-indus-
try training at once and arrange
ments for placing them in defense
jobs should be completed before
