| Army Prepares
Dictionaries
| In Six Tongues

A group of scholars and poets
are Waging a battle OF words in
New York so the American Army
will be able to know more about its
friends and enemies than any other
army in the world.
This talent group, under the COM
mand of Maj. Arthur Vollmer of
the Military Intelligence, is COM
piling Army dictionaries on six
foreign languages-Spanish, Portu-
guese, German, French, Italian and
Russian. They are taking all the
technical words, military terms and
even the slang used by soldiers
speaking in the six tongues and
listing them in abridged editions.
Surrounded by pile of 5000 for
eign dictionaries and reference
books, Leonard Bacon, Pulitzer prize
poet, described the work of the
group:
"They sweat and they swear, they
make horrible errors which they
discover with anguish, and they
strike strokes of genius, which, they
know, ike hlplIlB eIlSIIleeI, III
one will ever notice." he advised
the War Department.
Uses of the handbooks for intelli-
gence and combat officers are great.
They will be valuable in decipher-
ing documents and interrogating
prisoners, officials said. OF primary
Importance, too, will be the aid in
communicating with civilians in
occupied areas and in learning the
different parts of foreign weapons.
