dams are yet to be built and the wa

that in the next 40 to SO years the
entire reclaimed area will be dotted
with farmers growing everything

An idea of the size of the dam can
be visualized to some degree by the
figures: The dam is 1000 feet long
at the base. 400 feet at the crest.
Width of the crest is 80 feet and
at the base it is 500 feet. Height
above bedrock is $50 feet. Eighteen
turbines, each rated at 10000
horsepower and Is generators. each

Of his thirty-two years since West

various Army schools, either as an
officer, student, instructor or execu-
tive. He has been through the War
College and is distinguished grad

Staff School. He has served in nine
states, the District of Columbia,
Panama and Hawaii - in the last
when his only child, now the wife of

Gus military missions out of Panama,
he has had contact with every part

work for the 9th than perhaps any
other new division. Just as he stopped
the whistle at the artillery school, so
he has stopped officers from frighten-
ing subordinate commanders with sar-
castle criticism of their handling of
troops. He begins almost every cri-
tique with the statement, II made a
lot Of mistakes today" One officer
attributes the Devers teamwork in
large part to the way his loyalty
reaches down to subordinates as well
as up to superiors.
"Moks Them Happy"
In THE 9th Division he reduced
officers paper work, told them to get
away from desks and out to troops.
He tried to further this system on
inspection trips by asking young Off
GERS: Where is my staff harassing
you?" Hearing distinctions being
made between Regular Army and
National Guard and Reserve officers,
he suggested it be ended by everyone
being referred to as an officer in "our
present Army"

making speeches. His most celebrated
talk followed an invitation to address
the women's club at Fort Bragg. He
told the Army wives the post wasn't

tiae. He demands results and supports
officers with fresh ways of getting
them. He helped one build the Army's
first sunken-track moving target so
that the 81 nm. batteries could prac-
tice shooting at tanks in action. He
backed an infantry colonel who be-
leves in giving every man rife his
first week - and letting him shoot
it without waiting to master the
nomenclature. He supported another
colonel who wanted his men to dig
target pits instead of sitting around
until the standard concrete ones were
poured. He sent officers to scour other
camps for new ideas about ranges.
One of the show regiments at Bragg
is the 41st Engineers, a Negro outfit
which started last year with 600 mex
perienced men. Now the 41st marches
four miles into the woods, puts in a
full days work in the torrid heat,
comes home singing, and then stages
a fast tempo review ending in three
hundred-yard sprint at the double

General Devers himself invented
the buddy system" for training new
artillery battaGons- Normally they
lack equipment to begin immediate
training. Under Devers, each new
battalion is adopted by an existing
regiment. The old regiment provides
its buddy with training equipment -
guns, radios, reel carts, telescopes,
trucks and 50 on.
The two commanders meet each
morning and decide what the new out
fit needs that day. For instance, with
the trucks 60 trained drivers who take
the green pupils out over mudholes,
difficult hills, woods and other OBJ
stacIe courses. The buddy system"
enabled the 9th Divisions artillery
to handle its equipment the day it
arrived. Driving accidents were cut
down, combat exercises started sooner
and night maneuvers without lights
we're put on without a single casualty.
A division can't be lectured into
shape. So General Devers demanded
