In South Carolina
For Maneuver5
Experimental Unit Adds
Versatility to Army's
Larger Forces
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
- CAMDEN, S. c.. Nov. 3-The
Arrny's newest division-a fully mo-
torized all-purpose fighting team
with unprecedented Shock-power
and speed-arrived today to begin
a month long test in the Carolina
field exercises of the lst Army.
1t is the experimental 4th Divi-
sion. swift, compact organiza ton
of tanks, infantrymen in armored
vehicles and motorized artillery. 1t
also includes a reconnaissance bat
talon which can fight while it is
scouting, anti-aircraft protection,
and special troops to fight off para
chutistS.
When production permits, the di-
vision will have its own combat
avia ton - bi-motored ships for
bombing or scouting-and self-pro-
PEELED artillery which just moves
forward and stops and fires instead
of having to be unlimbered from
trucks and swung into position.
Versatile Division.
With almost as much f1repower
as the Army's largest divisions OF
$1,000 men, the 4th Division-With
14,0O0-adds versatility. 1t has the
power to smash through a soft spot,
making way for mobile infantry di-
visions. Or it can follow right be-
hind a smashing armored division
and widen the break.
The rolling 4th's advance force
the reconnaissance battalion which
would feel out an enemy-is to have
IA light G8-ton) tanks. The crush
ing force will be a battalion of 54
medium (28-ton) tanks mounting
77-mm.. and 37-mm. rifles and ma
chine guns: two reinforced infantry
regiments with a support battalion
of light artillery, two battalions Of
l05-mm. howitzers and battalion
Of 155-mm. hoWitzers. AS contrasted
with rifles, howitZers are able to
drop shells over hill as well as fire
directly at target.
Battalion Of 37-mm. Guns.
For its own defense. the division
will have a battalion Of 37-mm.
guns that can be used against tanks
or planes, a formidable assortment
OF anti-tank guns and a security pla-
toon of military police with sub
machine guns.
The new divisions communica-
tions will be principally radio. Be-
cause other divisions have priority,
the 4th does not have its allotment
of tanks or 105-mm. howitzers, but
it does have 1904 vehicles. most of
them armed and armored. 1t was
withdrawn Unexpectedly from the
Louisiana maneuvers in August and
sent to Fort Benning, Ga. for re-
organization.

Cracked Mirrors

It is a melancholy sight to Americans travelling abroad to pick up newspapers and magazines and see the writings of American nonentities paraded as repre- senting American thought. Axis coun- tries, and countries in which there is an active press favorable to the Axis, seize on any writing appearing in the United States which supports their cause, and translate and reproduce 1t with the great est display. It gives foreigners a com pletely wrong impression of what goes on in American minds.
 Newest such trash to be reproduced abroad is a book by William Dudley Policy, the Silver Shirt Fuehrer, with which the Japanese are now being re- galed. No doubt the introduction to the book fails to mention that Policy has no standing or following whatever in the United States, and that he could not be elected dog-catcher of whistle-stop tank town. Yet his words are paraded before trusting Japanese, who are no doubt told that here Is some foam from the Arneri- can wave of the future. If other coun. tries choose to delude themselves with such bunk, that is, one supposes, their business. But 1t would be tragic If any form from 1t conclusions as to America in action.

A Thought for Today
William Nj. Harris

The death of "Bill" Harris will come as shock to his many friends here in Waterbury. He had many for his inter- ests were such that he had to come into contact with men in many differ ent walks Of life. Although he wasn't a native of this city the nature of his work must have made him acquainted with more people than good many of us meet in lifetime of residence in one community. The majority of friendships that he made here were lasting ones.
 As the directing genius of the Lincoln House his welfare work commanded the respect of associates throughout city and state. His work was of such nature that he was in constant demand as con- sultant or aide in various civic endeavors. He always gave willingly of his time and efforts in this respect. Men of his type are hard to replace because lifetime of training and experience has usually gone before them. Waterbury will miss 'Bill' Harris in the days to come and today sincerely mourns his passing.

The Road to Panama

Quick action ought to follow the Pres ident's request for money to help south ern neighbor countries complete the Pan-Amerlcan highway as far as the Panama Canal. Unfortunately, not a great deal of the money spent for de- fensc projects has permanent value out side sheer defense itself. This Is an excep- ton. Such road would, needless to say, be of the highest value in the defense of the canal. But in addition, 1t would open up to development great sections of Guatemala, Fl Salvador, Honduras, Ni- caragua, Costa Rica and Panama.
 It would mean hitherto impossible ex- pansion of trade in those countries with us, and with each other. This in turn, by relieving distressed economic condi- tions, would contribute to political sta- bility, condition which the American countries absolutely must have at the present critical time. This road project should have been begun months ago, but 1t can never be begun earlier than now. We are late enough. We must not be too late

has had to follow conquest in an endless succession, while the war which started SO modestly with the obliteratlon of Po- land, spreads wider and wider across the earth, with no foreseeable end. Perhaps it is thoughts like that which filled the mind of Rudolf Hess, and caused him to view with blank dismay the consequences to European civilization of what was probably thought of two years ago as nthe Polish incident.
 Perhaps Hess thought too often of those terrible words: Put up again the sword into his place; for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword" Perhaps Hess has thought too often of that other time, only 20 years ago, when Germany started swinging the sword, and perished with it.. Perhaps he saw a vision of long, long road to European Gethsemane that was far different from the quick, flashing Blitzkrieg of 1889. Perhaps the bright prospect of Rule by Germany became ob- Scured by the dismal alternative of Ruin for all Europe.

Not Very Creditable

For some time we have been listening to and reading about rumors from Hart- ford that the House of the Legislature planned to "duck" the birth control issue That's just what proponents of the bill seeking to do away with the existing ban on dissemination of birth control legisla- ticn would probably like to have done, If they hadn't succeeded in having 1t passed. It would have been defeat, but a technical one, for the proposed repealer, the defeat achieved without legislators expressing themselves one way or the other on the subject.
 As 1t turned out, though, there was 8 vote. Parliamentary procedure failed to prevail in the face of desire to register for and against the measure. We are sorry that 164 members of the House favored repeal of the existing statutes on dissen1- ination of birth control information. We are glad that GA members thought the eX- isting law should be retained. The issue of birth control is too pertinent a one to- day in this nation to be avoided by state legislators They should face 1t and should do more than merely think about such things as planned parenthocd, etc.
 So far as we can sec there was no re- ligious warfare in the House yesterday when the bill was voted on. Leaders ex- plained that they feared a bitter fight along religious lines If the bill came to a vote. Opponents of birth control, 1t is true, are mainly drawn from the members of one religious creed. But there are others who oppose it and who arc not Catholics. The issue isn't necessarily religious. It's more than that. People who profess no religion have regard for the natural laws and birth control IS cer- tainly denial of probably the most irl- portant of them.
 We're glad our legislators were honest enough not to duck" this issue, but we are hopeful that in the Senate there will be sufficient members to defeat the bill which we honestly believe is a step in the wrong direction for any governed people to take.

They That Take the Sword

It is doubtful If any leadership, giving the command for the first shot Of an aggressive war, ever enVisions long, drawn and bitter combat. Naturally, the aggressor believes himself vastly superior, or he would not start the fight at all. He conjures up pleasant picture Of short, snappy campaign in which the enemy is vanqulshed with minimum oi casualties, his objective is attained, and the whole nasty business wrapped up and delivered on schedule.
 Such a war was the Franco.Prusslan war of 1870 - single months cam- paigning, from August to September 2, complete victory, finish. Bismarck had every reason to be satisfied.
 But 1t doesn't often work out that way. All too often, he who draws the sword expecting quick and easy victory, let's loose forces he never expected to sec lnleaghed. Thus Japan, still referring to the China incident" after four years of bitter and exhausting warfare on the grand scale, is using the term 1t expected would apply. Probably only an "inci. dent" was planned = a quick sweep which would defeat the Chinese military, throw the country into chaos, out Of which Japan would raise puppet state to administer in her own interest as much of China as pleased her. She reused instead the sleeping dragon. created q new China, and has not yet seen the end of the difficulties which may stem from what was intended to be an incident

Social Barriers Down

Sidney Kingsley - pardon us, Private Sidney Kingsley - Is in normal civilian life playwright. He has written many fine plays in which he had some fine things to say to all of us. But he never said anything finer than when he gave an interview recently on his experiences as an army recruit.
 Tt is a wonderful kind of social organ ism," he said of the army. "Therc is a great deal to be said for anything that brings men closer together. |. l think 1t will be rebirth of democracy. It will tear down a lot of false social barriers It will teach young men of America that real distinctions are not distinctions of class and background, but of character, integrity and personality"
 Whether Kingsley knew those things right along, or whether he has learned them quickly in the army, we don't know It doesn't matter. They're true, and the sooner every man. woman and child in America learns them, the better for all of us.
