Maj. Gen. Charles M. Wesson.
chief of Ordnance, said recently the
British have pronounced the Amer
ican light tanks "the best on either
side"
They not only have greater fire
power. maneuverability and speed,
but many times the powers of en-
durance.' Gen. Wesson said. And
fnally, our tanks have device
which greatly increases the number
of hits by projectiles fired from
them. when operating at high speed
over difficult terrain"
This stabllizer is one of the Army's
secrets.
Speed is not only vital to effective
maneuver but is also important in
security. Capt. Schmidt said that
Germany now recognizes that the
tanks best protection is its speed
rather than its armor." German

The great strength of the German

Marine Inspectors
Urge Better 2ations
In Ships Lifeboats
Safeguards for Lives
OF Torpedoed Seomen
Studied at Conference
BY WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY.


Greater safeguards for the lives
of men aboard merchant ships are
being studied BY special board of
supervising inspectors of the Bu-
reau of Marine Inspection and Nav
igation. which met here yesterday.
The board was convened partlcu-
larlv to consider the necessity for
additional equipment for lifeooats
and RATS to permit crews TO sus-
tain themselves for longer periods
in event they are forced to abandon
ship
The increasing demand for both
ships and personnel has also re-
suited in cautioning of ships off,
GERS to exercise greater skill in nav
igation in order to assure safe pas
sage and keeping ships in service
Even slight groundings call for the
expenditure Of thousands of dollars
in repair. but even more serious. it
was pointed out. is the fact that
the ship has to lose DAYS in the
shipyard when vitallv needed to
carry supplies to nations fighting
the AXIS.
With manpoWer in demand every
where the shipping industry is be-
ing pressed to keep its ranks filed
not only for the vessels now op-
Grating but those which are now
building. So great is the shortage
of operating personnel, it was said,
that the Bureau of Marine Inspec-
tiNp and Na1yirot
being beseeched by ship operators
to hold in abeyance punshments
and suspensions meted out to mas
tiers and others for violation of the
navigation laws. In some instances
it was said the bureau has held them
in allegiance upon showing that a
vessel loaded with war supplies
would be unable 10 sail otherwise.
More water and more palatable
food in lifeboats for the sustenance
of shipwrecked crews are among the
matters being considered by the
board. In the place of the usual
hardtack. used for years in lifeboat
rations new biscuit, more digesti-
bic and nourishing, probably will be
selected. it was said.
In addition to increased water ra-
tions. it was pointed out that life
boat crews should take their boat
covers with them, both for protec-
ton against rain and spray and to
be used as a scoop TO collect rain
water. The mariners were remind
ed that the survivors of the Robin
Moor obtained drinking water in
this manner.

The weapon which municipali-
ties may use in dealing with those
who thus seek to inflame the popu-
lace is the sanction which the GRIM
inal law provides against disorderly
conduct likely to lead to a breach of
the peace" the committee said in re-
viewing the present situation.
The committee report declared
that mob censorship is given great
encouragement and since the initial
application of the test tof public
demonstration lies in the hands of
the police, administrative censor
ship is almost inevitable. In addi-

perior but also such admissions have
been in Axis circles. A short wave
broadcast from Rome a few days
ago produced chuckle. The
American built tanks have
stronger resistance than Axis tanks,
but the spirit of the italian soldier
more than nullifies this advantage
the commentator was heard to say.
A year ago at Fort Knox, KY,
seat of the armored force, Maj.
Gen. Charles L. Scott. then acting
chief. claimed the American tanks
we're the best in the world That
is still the official attitude Of the
War Department and the reports
from Libva serve only to strengthen
their faith.
Our tanks in North Africa. it was
said. have rivetless turrets. The
claimed safety value of rivetless
material will be closely studied as
the War Department is launching
on a huge production program that
eventually will replace the riveted
tanks with those of cast steel hulls
and turrets, and welded construc-
ton.
The M-3 light tank weighs II or
l3 tons. and is considered the equal
in battle performance to what in
Europe are called medium tanks.
Our mediums weigh % to 30 tons,
depending on the engine. The lat
ter are nearly equal in weight to
the commonly accepted German
heavy tanks weighing 80 to IS tons.
