Blitzkrieg is not simply to await
its onslaught, relying on barri-
cades, mines and anti-tanl1 guns,
but whenever possible, to 60
out after it.
LEARN QUICK FIRING
They teach that today in Tex
as on a 108, 000-acre reservation.
Here thousands of young men
are taught to play David to the
1912 Goliath; especially, to train
their swooping, skidding whizz-
bang guns which give no warn
ing, so as to hit the giant smack
on the forehead. General Bruce,
tall quiet Texan, is aided by
Col. Ray .. MOI 'gomery, a
shrewd artillerylnan experience
ed in intelligence work who
headed our first tentative me-
chanized force Is years ago.
Other methods of fighting
tanks are also taught: how to
wing them with stationary anti
tank guns of varying calibers;
how to tangle them in barri-
cades or scar them with flame
throWers, or blow them up with

The ct. D." is a special can
non that can knock out a tank,
on special noun that can out
speed and outmaneuver that
tank. The chassis resembles that
of our excellent new medium
tank which also did we'll for the
British against Rommel. The
gun fires, at high velocity and
flat trajectory, a rs o. 80 milli-
meter armor-piercing shell that
is fatal to any German tank now
in Africa. But it fires from no
turret. The T. DIS armor is very
light.

The weapons secret is speed

say, 35 miles an hour. lso foot

tank, dart in, hurl pointblank a
half-dozen hot shots that will
drill the tanks armor, then dash
out again to safely. It's crew is
taught to seek the slower tanks

Pot flares were placed around

20 other men kept watch during re
frosty night, the third in which
Modoc has been at large.
The elephant posse hoped Modoc
would not repeat her disappearing
act of Thursday night when she
was surrounded on the banks of

bewildered flight yesterday resulted
in critical injuries to one startled
farmer who stumbled in front of

The hearing, which is being con-
Quoted by Senators Sheridan Down
ey of California and Charles Nc
Nary of Oregon, is similar to the
ones held by State Senator's John
Phillips and Robert Kenny in Cali
fornia recently.
Harrigan listed the labor anC
equipment situations here as the
most important and the ones which
he will bring TO the attention o
the senatorial committee.
LABOR UNSOLVED
The drain on labor supply here
by the increasing size of the armed
forces may be somewhat alleViateo
by the importation of 100 Mexican
workers here soon from the interior
of the southern republic but many
factors of the problem still remain
unsolved.
Increasing difficulty in obtaining
farm machinery parts and other
equipment vital to the output ol
essential and non-eSSential wal
crops will be dWelt upon b. the
committee.

special attention be given the
