old Springfield was good rifle,
battle-tested and dependable.
Could the Garand stand the
same abuse the Springfield
stood in the mud of France, for
example? The foot soldier
worms his way along on the
ground frequently, getting dust,
sand, mud or water into the
working parts of his weapon.
What he wants and needs is
gun which can take abuse and
still be effective.
So they took the Garand out
on the range and gave it the
business. Sand was poured into
the magazine, blown out and
the piece fired. Mud was dump
ed in, wiped out hastily and the
piece fired. Water was poured
in and the gun was fired. 1t
was dropped carelessly on the
ground with the magazine open,
i. was pushed along ahead of a
soldier advancing in prone po-
sition. Still it worked just like
the inventor said it would.
All new equipment proposed
for the infantry is tested under
similar battle conditions. 1t
must be able to stand abuse and
still perform effectively. The
board found that the rubber
heels we're dandy for soldiers
marching on pavement, but in
! the field leather is just as good.
BOARD HAS LARGE
PLANT FOR TESTS
Here at Fort Benning the
board is housed in the Infantry
School building, which domin-
ates the grounds. The board
has shops of its own, stated by
skilled officers and men, and
there are endless facilities for
testing. Thousands of troops are
available for use as guinea pigs.
The board not only wants to see
how the infantryman can use
proposed new equipment, but il
wants to know his reaction to it.

FORT BENNING, Ga, Aug.
28-Only men from Missouri,
figuratively speaking, are men,
bers of the Army Infantry
Board.
That's because this little
known group of regular Army
officers examines, tests, modi-
fies and designs equipment for
the infantry Of the United States
Army-and they say SHOW
me-" They see to it that a new
article is not only as good, but
better than equipment already
in use.
Because Of the existence of
this board, established in 1920,
no infantryman will ever take
into the field weapons or other
equipment still in the expert
mental stage.

THUMBS DOWN
ON SHORTS
Brig. Gen. Leven c. Allen,
who as commandant of the In
fantry School also serves as
president of the board, says its
quite educational to see the
members at each others threats
one morning and at lunch to-
gether not long afterward.
Although the board can adopt
no equipment for the infantry,
it can and does speak up for or
against any proposed changes.
1t voted against shorts for field
duty because no matter the
other arguments, foot soldier
in shorts can't get about in
briars, heavy underground and
the sharp-edged grasses found
in tropical countries, notably the
Philippines.
1t recommended the new roll
collar shirt, but at the same
time urged retention Of long
sleeves as protection against
sharp grasses, stubble and rocks.
The infantryman often has TO
throw himself prone without
having time TO pick where he's
going to flop and short sleeves
can result in some nasty wounds.
