BY FRANK 1. WELLER,
The Stars Special News Service.

The Army has graduated in parts,
during four months of combat ma
neuvers, from sticks and stove pipes
to experimental practice with some
pretty fierce weapons.
Given enough of these, says Gen.
George C. Marshall, chief of staff,
and United States land forces will
be superior to any military power
on earth. They can get the men If
they can get the materiel.
Soldiers dub the latest tokens of
the mass of equipment to come
"jeeps" and swamp buggies
that is proud vernacular. High
powered 37-mm. guns of newest de-
sign, mounted on the swift, ugly
little ouarter-ton cars, shot scout
tanks to standstill at Fort Meade,
Md, Wednesday. At the same time
self propelled 1H-ton 75-mm. guns,
supplanting almost equally modern
truck-drawn 75s. washed out the
armored power of simulated blitz-
krieg attack.
Called Better Than Nazi Types.
The so-called tank killers, said to
be superior to Nazi types, illustrate
the rapid improvement in mobility
and fire power of all American arms
tested in II separate training ma
neuvers since May. Each succeeding
operation has found larger number
of men equipped per unit with better
pistols, rifles, machine guns, anti
aircraft guns, mortars, howitzers,
anti-tank guns, cannon, tanks and
warplanes. But, many a dummy
weapon still bangs away theoretically
in mock warfare.
And why not, asks Gen. Marshall.
The vast German Army developed
it's formidable efficiency with card
board tanks, wooden guns and stove
pipe artillery. 1t was not fully
equipped until it went to war.
Certainly a real weapon is more
desirable, however, except for small
caliber arms which use blanks more
for the racket than anything else.
No ordinance is fired in maneuvers.
Actual shot and shell is the exclu-
sive property of proving grounds
during peace time. Experts say
little training value is lost on dunn
my guns since tactical employment
of a weapon rather than mechanical

night after staging an unauthorized

The stoppage began when en-
ployes interpreted a joint union
company notice that wage nego-
tiations had been adjourned tenn
porarily as meaning that confer
ences had collapsed.
A group of l25 salaried workers

Shipyard Wage Agreement.
A stabilization agreement increas-
ing wages in Great Lakes shipyards

fed by the A. F. L. Great Lake.

ual officers and men actually took
part. The men who will take part
in the fall practices are for the most
part those who have participated
in the earlier maneuvers. Since
there are nearly 100000 soldiers
in all, it appears that perhaps 1,000,-
000-chiefly recruits and selectees-
will not get maneuver experience
until later.
Gen. Marshall calls the simulated
combat "high school" training. All
experts agree that the maneuvers
manifestly improve morale. Tactical
lessons learned will be weighted and
prescribed for future graduate"
courses as soon as reports are in.
Authorities say the maneuvers al
ready have proved one thing-name-
ly, that Hitler has nothing new in
strategy. His war machines are new,
to be sure, but they followed the
same eak-through and encircle-
ment tactics that Cavalryman Jeb
Stuart used 80 years ago in Vir-
ginia. Some say that there really
has been nothing new in tactics since
Napoleon's wars.
Quotes a German.
Army exercises indicate, Gen. Mar
shall says, that when munitions
factories catch up with military
man power Uncle Sam will have the
kind of army to hold his own.
The general says he loses patience
with those who say the Army is out
moded in a mechanical age-that
1t trains more infantry than needed.
He quotes a celebrated German
strategist:
Our infantry constitutes the main
arm, and is supported by all other
arms, which try to see to it, as far
as possible, that the infantry Is
able to engage in close combat
against the enemy with its strength
impaired as little as possible. After
the break-through the infantry,
backed by artillery, must hold ad-
vance positions against what other
wise could be disastrous counter
attacks"
All of which adds up. Gen. Mar
shall concludes, to Gen. Nathan
Bedford Forests formula for vic
tory-"Git thar fustest with the
mostest!"
