 With the Third Army in Louisiana and Texas, August 27. - (UP) - The Blue forces anti-tank defenses have seriously hampered an advance by an enemy twice as powerful III men, weapons and machines.
 The attacking Red forces with 1aO,OO0 men of the powerful Second Armored Division were expected 10 conclude the maneuver yesterday. The Reds were attempting to en- circle the 60,000 Blues and deal them . knockout blow. The Blues fought , delaying action.
 Lieutenant General Walter Krue- ger. commander of the Second army. reviewed the situation last night and decided that the Blues mad so hampered the thrusts of Red arnaoured columns that the attack CTS would have to carry their oper- ations to a more definite conclusion.
 A combined tank and cavalry at tack is expected to end the Blues resistance some time today.
 The Blues used every means to stop the tanks, and one of the most successful was highly mobile "de- stroyer force" of anu-tank guns, heavy machine guns and 75 m. m. guns. which the Blues rushed wher- ever a Red tank attack threatened.
 Spot Red ArmOred Unit
 -~ a ral,,a ccollt car late Tues. day spot an advancing Red ar- mored unit. It radioed report to the nearest command post and in iR minutes engineers appeared and mined three small bridges ahead of the Reds. h another 15 min utes armored half-tracks brought up anti-tank guns and concealed them in the woods to enfilade the Red advance. Farther back, Blue T5's were trained on the road and simultaneously motorized infantry of the Blues second streamlined triangular division was rushed up. This is an example of General Krueger's axiom of meeting blitz with blitz'.
 It is questionable whether these tactics and the material available here would work in actual warfare Tho high command realizes that But the interesting part of these maneuvers is that someone is at least trying to reduce an armored attack from the proportions of hidecus nightmare to an instrument

 With the Second Army in Arr kansas, Aug. 27.-(UP)-Lieut. Gen. Ben Lear, commander of the Sec- ond army, praised the progress in training and splendid training" his troops showed in the second phase of their maneuvers, but said they lacked initiative in the field.
 we are somewhat lacking III aggressiveness in establishing ad- vance contact with the enemy" he said in critique on the maneuver. Scouts are not put out boldly and too much time is lost"
 The problem he criticized was concluded yesterday. It was the withdrawal of the Seventh corps, almost 100000 men, 26 miles un- der a blackout and strong pressure by superior enemy.
 Major Gen. Robert c. Richard son was outspoken in his criticism of communications and the appli- cation of the air arm in operations.
 He repeatedly stressed the "all im- portant clement of air superiority in fighting defensively as well as offensively.
 "The tooth observation squadron received at 8:31 a. m. message tell ing it to take off at 8:30 &. m.,' he said. "The message was sent at 7:45 but had been delayed in transmission through various inter- mediary points. Since pilots must first study the terrain over which they are ordered to fly, this squad ron could not take off until after g o'clock"
 He said faulty communications which caused two divisions to lose contact for a time in the with drawal were partly due to lack of radio equipment.
 Ground Cooperation Praised
 Richardson highly praised air. ground cooperation and mentioned several instances in which the orders of dive bombers had been changed while the planes were in flight.
 Other officers praised the black out withdrawal, but criticized in- stances of light display which in modern war can betray an entire operation. General Richardson pointed out that a body of men the size of the population of Charles ton, s. C., was transported between

 Moreover, the idea is being built up in the minds of the men that tanks can be stopped.
 I talked to the crews of the Reds second armored division tanks last night. They had been travelling almost continuously since 2 a. m. Monday, and they showed the strain. This contrasted with the German methods I saw in Holland and Jugoslavia. German crews who had bounced around all night driv- ing tanks into position were re- lieved at daylight by fresh crews brought up from the rear in trucks to man the tanks in attack
