Gen. Potton's Hawaiian Voyage
In Own Schooner Recalled
Officer in Afrco Bought Boot in 1885
For Trip After Tronsfer From Fort Myer

Maj. Gen. George S. Patton, in
charge Of the armored corps on the
Atlantic coast Of Africa, is q hard
bitten commander of the old school
with q decided modern viewpoint on
tactics.
The 57-year- -old tank commander
is widely known In Army circles In
Washington, having been stationed
at Fort Myer on four different occa-
sions, the last time between 1888
and 1910, in command Of the 3rd
Cavalry there.
Gen. Patton is recognized for his
individualstic ways Of doing things.
In 1885, when he was transferred
from duty at Fort Myer to the
Hawaiian Islands, he rejected the
more orthodox means Of getting to
his new post and instead bought a
52-foot schooner to make the trip
with his wife and several friends.
Gen. Patton, at that time, had
considerable sailing Experience, but
most of 1t had been confined to
onshore excursions. So he studied
deep-sea navigation under the In
struction of j. E. ,Lawton, Washing
ton lumberman and a recognized
authority on the subject.
Set Course by Dead Reckoning.
It took IS days for Gen. Patton
to get to Honolulu. He took his
bearings and set his course by dead
reckoning. When he returned to
the mainland in 1888 he again used
his schooner.
Gen. Patton was born in San
Gabriel, Calf, on November IL,
1885. He entered West Point in
1904 and was commissioned a sec
ond lieutenant of cavalry. After
graduation in 1909, he served at
Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, until 1911, when
he was transferred to Fort Myer,
where he was asked to design a
new cavalry saber.
He was sent to France in 1918 to
study saber methods there and, upon
his return to this country he was
named master of the sword at the
Mounted Service School, Fort Riley,
Kans.
Gen. Patton was transferrd In
1915 to Texas where he served with
cavalry units at Fort Bliss and
Sierra Blanca, and the following
year he acted as aide-de-camp to
Genral John j. Pershing during the
punitive expedition into Mexico.
Was Member Of Pershing's Staff.
When the United States enterd
the World War, Gen. Patton sailed
to France as a member of Gen.
Pershing's staff. He was detailed to
the Tank Corps and attended the
French Tank School. He was pres
ent at the Battle Of Cambria where
the English first employed tanks on
large scale.

Brookings Asks 48-Hour Week
To Meet Monpower Shortage
Sees 6,4oo, 900 More Workers Needed
For War Plant Production in 1943

plies to meet essential civilian needs.
The study stated that there are
only three methods of increasing
the supply of labor: Cd increasing
the number of persons in the labor
force; 60 increasing the hours of
work; (3) increasing efficiency per
hour worked.
It was explained that the differ
ence between scheduled hours and
actual hours averages about two
hours week. Therefore 48-hour
week In 1943 would average a work
week of about 46 hours. I'm 1914
and 1945," the study stated" we
could reach 48 or more average
working hours only by establish
ing work-week schedules Of so hours
or more, in some cases 81.
1T should be borne in mind that
such schedules cannot be achieved
quickly or without intensive de-
tailed planning in each plant" 1t
said.
In summarizing the study. the
Brookings Institution said the issues
involved suggest the need of a CO.
ordinated national policy, designed
not only to provide balance within
the war production program itself
but also as between military and
industrial manpower requirements.
"Inasmuch as no department or
war agency is vested with authority
over more than a limited segment
of the war effort, responsibility for
such policy rests upon the Presi-
dent" the institution stated.

By JESSE O. IRWIN.

With the opening of a second
front, the Brookings Institution
made public today a study call
ing for the immediate increase
of the work week in war and
civilian factories to 48 hours and,
in some cases, to 81 or even more.
The study stated the lengthening
hours would be necessary if the
armed forces and their auxiliaries
are increased to 9,500,000 men next
year. To keep this military force
supplied, the study also said it
would be necessary to bring at least
100000 additional workers into the
labor force, now estimated at
5000, 900. ...-
The additions would have to come
largely from women. children and
older persons, and it would be neces-
sary to reduce the amount of goods
and services produced for private
use by one-third as compared with
the 1912 level, 1t was stated.
Army 100000 in 1943.
Chief of Staff Gen. George Mar
shall has estimated the Army's
strength for 1943 at 100000. The
Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard
and Merchant Marine would be
built up to 100000, latest estimates
indicate.
Excessive Hours Opposed.
In March, 1912, Secretary of Labor
Perkins said. a 48-hour week was
desirable in war production. Con-
gressional sources and one powerful
labor organization during the last
two weeks have advocated exten-
sion TO 56 hours, but organized labor
presented testimony before a Sen
ate committee that shortage of raw
materials had reduced the work
week in the steel industry to 81
hours.
President Roosevelt said war in
dustry already was working in ex-
cess of 40 hours. and warned against
excessively long hours of work. The
Brookings study, prepared by Har-
old w. Metz, showed that the work
week had climbed to AS hours.
A recent Government study stated
that in many cases the optimum
duration of work will be less than
As or Al hours. It explained that
the average productivity of labor
during the war will be unfavorably
affected by shortages Of raw ma
terials, by difficulties in repairing
and replacing tools and other fac
tory equipment, and most of all. by
induction of workers into the armed
forces
Manpower Survey Made.
On the other hand, the gov
ernment study said, the productivity
of labor per day and per hour Of
work will be increased by the tech
nical secular trend in improvements.
The purpose of the Brookings
study was to determine whether
there is enough manpower to raise,
equip and maintain an armed force
of the size indicated by military
authorities, to furnish the amount
of aid required by the United Ma
! tions, and to produce sufficient sup

A|siers' Fall Comes
After Only 12Hours
Of lightning Assault
American Fighter Planes
Quickly Take Up Posts
To Defend Key Port
By IVES GALLAGHER,


ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, Nov. 8 q AMI.
American combat forces led by
Maj. Gen. Charles w. Ryder have
wrested one of the key points IN
the Western Mediterranean from
Axis domination with the swift
occupation of the port OF Algiers
despite strong opposition from
Vichy's naval units.
The famous city fell just II hours
after lightning assault directed
by the 6-foot-3 American omcers
known to his men as a rough, tough
fighter.
The port is the only one within
easy reach Of German air bases In
Sardinia and Sicily, but the syn
chronized arrival of American f1ght-
er planes on Algiers airfelds within
few seconds after their capture
made 1t sure that any raiding Nazi
bombers would get hot reception.
A covering force Of American
fighters permitted use Of the port
for unloading troops, which COM
pleted the occupation.
Oran Continues Resistance.
Oran, some $50 miles west OF
Algiers and the heart Of Admiral
Jean Darlan's German-inspired re-
sistance, continued to offer strenu-
Gus opposition, particularly by navy
controlled coastal batteries.
In between the two key ports
American landings encountered only
the lightest resistance. The troops
were welcomed by the population
and made deep penetrations.
Fighting along the Atlantic coast,
meanwhile, remained confused.
AS a result of the American sue
cesses, Axis forces being hacked to
pieces by the British 9Th Army near
the Egyptian-Libyan frontier now
have second foe at their backs.
The surrender of Algiers was ne
gotiated at pm. 6 pm, E. w. ID
yesterday and provided for COM
plete occupation OF the city by the
American forces at dawn today.
The first obJectives of the Amer
lean forces-Fort Sidi Ferruch and
Aintaya, west Of Algiers-were taken
without a struggle. The Americans
Immediately moved inland and
launched an assault on the Maison
Blanche and Blida airdromes. The
former surrendered and the latter
was taken quickly by a United
States combat force which included
some Of the famous American Rang.
ers.
United States Air Force ofncers
reported there was no extensive
aerial opposition throughout the en-
tire operation, although there was
some bombing of Allied shipping.
At both Algiers and Oron, French
colonial naval units came out of
the harbors to engage Allied yes
sis, but were fired on Immediately
and retired after suffering some
losses.
The British Navy lost two small
craft, but the crews presumably
reached shore safely.
Advices last night from the Oran
sector said that United States troops
had taken the Tafouri airfield as
the result of a brilliant combat team
maneuver, thus adding another air
base to the growing American power
in North Africa.
These advices said that La Senia
field at Oran still was in the hands
, Of the Vichy French.
In general, it appeared that the
Americans were encountering heavier
oposition on the Atlantic coast
than in the north, particularly from
light naval forces.
