Armored Division
Applies Pincer Tactics
In First j, !, Test
10000 Men Take Port
As Mechunized Forces
Attack in Tennessee
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WITH THE I'd ARMORED d.
VISION IN TENNESSEE, June II.
A f1ve-clawed pincer attack, with
new United States armored divi-
sion applying the pressure, squeezed
a doubly superior force in middle
Tennessee early today, the debut
of mechanical field tactics in the
Nation.
More than 10000 men and thou
sands of machines were in the simu-
lated battle.
1t was the first time in the Ma
tons history that an armored divi-
sion opposed another force in battle
formation.
1t also was the first time the Army
has had a chance to appraise the
new methods of warfare that have
changed the map of Europe in less
than two years.
Today's lightning war began at
daylight over 600-square- mile area
of tableland, centering about war
trace, midway between Nashville to
the northwest and Chattanooga to
the southeast. The units, like the
"Panzer" divisions in Europe, were
given their individual missions and
told to carry them out. Only blank
ammunition was used but the din
of roaring motors in vehicles as
well as bombing and observa-
tion planes were awe-inspiring
enough.
Two Divisions Attack.
Two Infantry divisions-motor-
lied to carry their troops to battle
but not able to fight from vehicles
like the armored division-were in
positions they had won in a days
attack against another Infantry di-
vision. On the offensive were the
9th Division, from New York, and
the 30th, from Georgia, Tennessee
and the Carolinas.
The 5th Division from Fort Custer.
Mich. working with the I'd Armored
Division from Fort Benning. Ga,
had pinned the enemy during the
night with the help of a number
of I'd Divisions $50 tanks, 500
armored scout cars, infantrymen
riding and fighting from trucks,
motorized artillery, swarms of
midget cars with scouts and motor
cycle riders with sub-machine guns.
The main armored force lay back
about so miles behind the main
fighting line of yesterday, while the
enemy was pinned down.
Communications Cut.
Then at dawn today the I'd
Armored Division put on the grand
squeeze play.
From north, east, south and west
the armor-plated land fighters
struck. Still they had enough tanks
and other armored vehicles to de-
liver the paralyzing stroke, cut COM
munication and supply lines and
throw the enemy into confusion.
The I'd and 5th Divisions had about
$4,000 men to the 45, 5000 of the 9th
and 30th Divisions, but the armored
force had the shock power, ability
to move Immediately and the faulty
trained men to deliver the lightning
blows.
One column skirted the enemy 81
miles in almost a complete circle,
then stabbed in for the first thrust.
Another quickly followed IS miles.
The three others jabbed on other
sides.

was the exact time at which her
body was placed in the garage.
The doors of this structure re-
manned open at all times.
One theory is that the murderer
sneaked in during the heavy rain
and left the body. But this seems
to be discounted by a trail of blood
stains plainly visible from a point
a number of yards westward in the
alley to the door of the garage.
All evidence indicated that the
crime was committed elsewhere and
that the body was brought to the
garage for concealment. Police re-
ported there was no evidence of a
struggle in the garage, although the
autopsy revealed, according to the
coroner, that Miss Strieff had put
up a terrific struggle" against
attack
Another angle under investigation
today was the report of Benjamin
Brent, colored. living on Corcoran
street directly in front of the garage.
that he had seen a colored man
come out of the structure a few
minutes before the body was found.
He described the man as being
slightly above medium height,
dressed in dark suit, and light
felt hat. He said he would be able
to identify the man.
Miss Strieff's body was identified
by Mr.. LIE Blanc, who was to have had
dinner with her at the apartment
Sunday afternoon, and by two of
her employers in the Ordnance De-
partment of the War Department,
where she had been at work since
last September.
Mrs. Strieff arrived by plane last
night from Des Moines, Iowa, accom-
panied by her son. David. 20, and
went to the home of friends.

And Husband to Be
Overnight Guests

Keeping in touch by telephone
with all developments in the inter-
national situation and the progress
of the defense program, President
Roosevelt scheduled light list of
engagements for himself today.
Remaining in his bedroom study
in the White House proper until
press conference time this after
noon, the Chief Executive first re-
ceived the newly appointed Supreme
Court justice, Senator Byrnes of
South Carolina. Senator Byrnes,
who has not yet relinquished his
legislative seat, was scheduled to see
Mr.. Roosevelt yesterday, but the
meeting was deferred.
William Dawson, recently named
Ambassador to Uruguay, and Nell
son Johnson, new Minister to Aus
tralia, were other callers. The
Presidents press conference was to
be held as usual in the executive
Office at 4 o'clock.
Later the President expected to
receive Princess Juliana, heiress to
the throne of the Netherlands, and
her husband, Prince Bernhard.
They will remain overnight as
White House guests.
The President was keeping in
touch with the State Department
today on developments in the Robin
Moor sinking, the expectation being
that the full report on the incident
received by the department this
morning would be submitted to Mr..
Roosevelt during the day. Under
secretary Sumner Welles was to be
a White House caller.
The President likewise was re-
ceiving latest advices on the status
of the shipyard strike in San Fran
cisco, the major deadlock at this
time on the defense labor front.

in the Executive Mansion tonight
and tomorrow morning will visit the

Mrs. Roosevelt emphasized that
the President was very anxious to

that reason no special entertainment
had been planned for the evening
She did not disclose the dinner list

not more than a dozen guests. This
will be Crown Princess Juliana's S

had shown her was very good be-
cause it could be bought for less
than So and was useful for all types
of indoor work.
Fits All Figures.
She explained that the uniform
is large blue gray apron, adaptable
to any figure. She thought short
sleeves would be more practical, but
the uniform she described would be
useful if some one wore a long
sleeved dress, she said.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who wore uni
form herself in the World War. said
she was in favor of some type Of
inexpensive uniform to make the
women recognized for their service
and also to add to their morale.
AS far as furnishing separate uni
forms for work and parade wear, as
had been suggested by some de-
Sipners Mrs Roosevelt said she be-
lieved the women should parade in
their working uniforms.
Asked about her sons, she said
that Franklin, jr., was somewhere

sSroyer: James, on his way to Lis
