~ the Associated Press,

WADEsBORO.. N. c., Aug. A.
The armchair strategist, who likes
to look at military maps and make
second guessing snap decisions that
will hurt nobody, might be inter-
ested In the component parts Of the
task assigned q general in the field.
Even In these Carolina maneuvers,
In which the troops went into their
fourth problem shortly before dawn
today, it isn't simply q matter Of
sending one column here and an
other there and letting 1t 60 at that.
Here, for example, are some OF the
things the rival commanders must
watch.
Blue Army Problem.
Maj. Gen. Willis D. Crittenberger,
commander Of the Blues, has the
superior force as well as all the
aviation support. His aim is to effect
. crossing OF the Pee Dee River by
driving the Red covering forces to
the east bank, establish bridge heads
and hold them, and build pontoon
bridges 80 his troops can be moved
across. That operation involves such
factors IS:
Engineer reconnaissance of the
river line, cooperative planning by
oil arms, selection Of proper sites for
main and secondary crossings. proper
use OF assault boats in which the
engineers put the first infantrymen
across and therefore close naison
and contact all around but par
ticularly between engineers and in
fantry.
Accurate observation and obtain
ing Of information, coordination Of
the actual troop crossing with COW
ering and supporting artillery fire,
aerial bombardment and smoke sur
prise, and speed at the main cross
ing and camouage evacuation Of cas-
ualties.
Mobile Defense.
Because the air strength Is on the
Blue side and he is fighting pri-
marty = mobile defensive action,
Maj. Gen. Fred I. Walker must:
Employ reconnaissance and Sc
curity forces extensively, emphasize
concealment from and protection
against combat aviation while at the
same time making the best possible
use Of his grass hopper" artillery
observation planes, have mobile re-
serves where they are most likely to
be needed, get the full benefit Of his
tank destroyer battalions and artil-
lery against . foe heavily mechan-
ised. The bulk Of his Red force Is
infantry.

frOnted with special problem in the few weeks in the
form of requests for financial support from the Dominican

although there is obvious sympathy for any effort which
holds out hope for the settlement of Jewish exiles.
There several aspects to consider both practical and
moral Is it desirable that already overburdened Jewish

direct special appeal to small group which can be espec
