U. 5. Order Is Challenge
To Cambridge ShipbuiIders
BY the Associated Press.


CAMBRIDGE, Md, June IA
When Cambridge shipbuilders begin
constructing nine wooden rescue
vessels for the Government, they
will be out to uphold this ports
reputation for having produced
some of the best wooden ships ever
to sail the seven seas.
The rescue boats will be con-
structed under a contract of more
than 100000 by the Cambridge
Shipbuilders, Inc, new organiza-
ton which has taken over the facili-
ties of the Cambridge Manufacture
ing Co. and the George T. John
son & Sons yards.
Boats have been built since 1859
on the site occupied by the Cam
bridge Manufacturing Co., and War;
rem Simmons, who has been skip
pering wooden ships for more than
40 years, claims that vessels turned
out here were of superior workman
ship.
Capt. Simmons, veteran of 80
voyages to the West Indies, said
it was not only long standing ira
dition but good white oak that &C
counted for the superiority of
Cambridge-built wooden ships. Dor
chester County white oak, he said,
Is about the best obtainable.

NEW YORK, June IA grim
story of % days in an open boat
during which A men died and
sharks fought for their bodies as
they were thrown into the sea by
the living was related today by 26
survivors of the Sunken British
liner Britannia.
William MacVicar, third officer
of the Britannia and a member of
the party which arrived on the
Brazilian liner Cayru, declined to
discuss the sinking, but the others,
who included LaScar Seamen and
Hindu and Moslem merchants, told
this story:
On March 81, en- route to Bombay
from Liverpool, the 8, 799-ton Britain
mia sighted a German raider miles
away.
Although the Britannia had only
a 4-inch gun against the raiders

General Marshall, the Chief of Staff,
pushed Devers along without ever having
served with him. When Devers was given his
brigadier- generals star a year ago he was
jumped over 474 other colonies and then
placed next to the top of the list of new briga-
diers. In five months he was major general
When this writer asked a dozen Army
friends for confidential lists of generals who
had done things and were going places the
name of Jake Devers turned up on every list.
Significantly. none of the informers knew he
was our youngest general. Moreover, the
lists were compiled several weeks before
Devers was jumped to the Armored Force
Command.
General Sir Archibald Wavell has named

"A YHEN Captain Jacob L. Devers was
w held at II Fort . Sill Sill during the first
w World War, 5000 miles from the
trenches. he moaned to intimates: my career
is ruined" Young Devers was eight years out
of West Point, an artilleryman fresh from
Hawaii and raring to 60 - yet he was halted
there in Oklahoma less than halfway to
France, given the inglorious job of teaching
other artillerymen to shoot. The war was
ending and he had no battle experience In
November, 1918, Devers cursed and explained
to friends that rank and command would
never come his way.
Today he is the youngest general in the
United States Army. Last fall he was given
command of both our largest, oostliest mill
tary post and our restraining regular
Army division. Cutting red tape, ignoring
regulations, using and encouraging the un-
orthodox, General Devers piled up construc-
ton records at Fort Bragg, North Caro-
lima - and at the same time jumped the 9th
Division far ahead Of outfits months longer
in the service.
Evening star., 1941-09-28

This summer, in a sudden major shakeup
of the Army, General Devers was given an
even bigger job: command of our Armored
Force. This is one of the six most important
commands in the entire Army. Considering
the growing importance of mechanization,
General Devers' job might be rated next to
that of General Marshall himself.
General Devers heads up everything con-
nected with tanks: He has charge of training
tank-drivers and molding tank units into a
powerful striking force. Under him are all our
panzer divisions - four, now being expanded
to six Also all the unattached tank battal-
ions. Also a mammoth tank school capable
of handling 10000 tankers at time. This
titanic job went not only to our youngest
general but also to an officer without tank
experience That itself is a measure of the
man.
General Devers is fifty-three - four years
younger than Pershing in the Argonne and
precisely the age of Lee in 1861 and Allenby
in 1914. At Fort Bragg he had six older gen.
erals and uncounted older colonies and lieu

Akoys the Leader

Jake was always the leader: his house,
headquarters for the school teams; his stable,
the place they kept their equipment. When
his gang got into trouble Devers found the
way out For two years he was captain of
the high-school basketball team (the same
thing happened at West Point and for three
years. president of his class. Although still
a poor speaker, he was elected president of
his debating society.
Devers' appointment to West Point came
Unexpectedly - Representative Lafean had
named several Republicans. only to see them
funk out. In 1905 Lafean named two more
Republicans, each of whom turned the ap-
pointment down. Either in desperation or as a
political maneuver, he decided to deal with
Democrat. Devers's father was a Demo-
crat, strategicaly placed. being the clock
winder at the York County Courthouse.
When he brought the news home, Jake had
to change plans; he had decided to study
engineering and had already engaged a room
at Lehigh. He entered West Point in 1905
and graduated thirty-ninth out of class of
lO3 - in good company. for that is relatively
where Grant and Pershing and Stonewall
Jackson stood.
