Games TO Show How Far New Army Has Progressed K
By JOHN GROVER,

Associated Press Feature Service Writer.
Oficial secrecy hides details of the
United States Army maneuvers
which will engage 100000 men in
Louisiana In mid-September.
It's deliberate secrecy, to make the
war games realistic. Army brass
hats are playing hush-hush to test
the new troops under near-to-war
conditions.
However, from knowledge of ter
rain, from the composition of the
two armies and from significant de-
tails of training, it is possible to
risk a broad guess on the probable
course the maneuvers will take.
The mock war will be fought over
vast area in North Central Louisi-
ana and East Texas. Most of it is
scrub pine land, literally dotted with
swamps. Rivers and bayous cut
up the whole area. When it rains
and August and September are
rainy months there-the dry ground
turn to viscous goo that even stops
tanks. ut did in the 1910 maneu-
vers)
Bridges Spotlighted.
What does that mean? Heavy
transport and mechanical weapons
will be tied pretty close to the better
roads.
That dependence on the road sys-
tenn spothghts the bridges. Bridges
are the vulnerable points in a road
network, and this maneuvers area
is chock-full of bridges. It's going
to be headache for opposing Army
commanders to protect their river
crossings. Highway functions are
going to be primary targets, too
The composition of the two
armies also gives few clues to the
potential trend of the maneuvers.
1t. Gen. Ben Lear, commander of
the I'd Army, has six divisions
as his basic force. One is a cavalry
division, two are the new "swifties"
reorganized triangular divisions =,
and three are the old square divi-
Sions.
1t. Gen. Walter Kruger has 10
divisions. one cavalry. one a stream
liner, and the rest square divisions.
Designations Made.
In addition, the general staff has
designated the new armored forces
and air forces headquarters troops"
These are to be assigned to one or
the other army at the very last
minute. It's part Of the general
secrecy. However, there are good
reasons to believe that the armored
forces will be assigned to Gen. Lear's
I'd Army, together with the assault
aviation.
Several months ago G. H. O.
ordered Gen. Kruger to form and
train some special. experimental
anti-tank forces. These provisional
units will be larger than the anti
tank battalions normally carried.
They will not be defensive units,
but have been designed expressly to
hunt out and attack opposing tank
forces.
It's unlikely G.. H @. would put
these special forces and the new
armored divisions on the same side.
1t doesn't add up If the anti
tankers and the armored forces are
to get the maximum benefit of the
training, they've got to be on op-
posing sides. So it's indicated that
Gen. Lear gets the armored forces,
as Gen. Kruger already has the
special anti-tank outfits. The size,
OF the basic forces-l0 divisions to
6-also lends credence to this be-
lief, because assigning the tank

months, was made in Convention
Hall as the climax of a week-long
test of AZ beauties for talent, per-
sonality. and appearance.
The California girl who has am
bitions for a career at home. in the
movies, announced to the audience,
smiling through her tears. that she
would ''try to live up to the title of
Miss America"
Previously. she had been chosen
by the judges as the most person
able of the regional beauties in the
pageant. She also was adjudged the
most beautiful of Is contestants who
passed in review in bathing suits

The new Miss America. the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles La

36 inches and a calf of IA inches.
Her hobby is dancing; she swims
and plays tennis and considers her
self quite a cook, particularly of
chop suey.
The selection of Miss Western
Pennsylvania in second position
came as a surprise to many Specta-
tors. The judges said they were i'm
pressed with her beautiful blue eyes
and delightful singing.
Although eliminating her from
consideration for the Nations
mythical beauty crown, the judges
declared Miss Oklahoms. Mifaunwy

from Tulsa, was the most congenlal
of 43 girls who took part in the
