War Prisoners Work
AT Army Camps Now,
Two Agencies Reveal
Many ItoIions Assigned
To Help in Large
Victory Gorden Projects
By MALCOLM LABORNE, u

BY MALCOLM LABORNE, Jr.
Prisoners Of war already are be-
ing used for farm work in this
country, it was disclosed today in a
War Food Administration-Ofice
of War Information announcement.
The men, said by an Agriculture
Department spokesman to be mostly
Italians, are being assigned to some
Army camps for work in Victory
gardens. Such gardens are being
cultivated at training camps, serv-
ice hospitals and other military
establishments.
1t was the. first ACKNOWLEDGMENT
on the part Of the Government that
war prisoners had begun farm work
in the United States.
More Prisoners Arriving.
Army engineers disclosed Satur-
day that Axis prisoners had been
utilized for emergency Hood control
work along the Mississippi River.
There has been speculation here
over disposition of the 175,000 Ger
mans and Italians captured in Tu-
nisla, and on the possibility that
many OF them would be brought to
this country for farm work.
One source in the Agriculture De-
partment reported that "for some
weeks" prisoners OF war have been
coming to the United States.
| S~l.-
that much OF the work on service
Victory gardens was being done by
men volunteering from the enlisted
ranks, adding that at some Army
camps, prisoners of war are being
assigned to work in the gardens"
Both the Army and Navy are set
ting up gardens at shore establish
ments in this country, with "hun-
dreds Of acres already In cultiva-
tion.
Some Projects Are Large.
The Agriculture Department also
has supplied vegetable seeds for
American forces in the Southwest
Pacific and North Africa.
The larger garden projects in this
country range from 30 to 60 acres
and have been authorized by the
War and Navy Departments. the
announcement said. I'm addition
to yielding many thousand tons Of
vegetables and permitting a greater
variety Of fresh vegetable rations
for the men. the production Of
heavy truck crops at points of con-
sumption also will relieve transpor-
tation facilities" the announcement
| said.
Work requiring farm machinery
on the service projects will be done
by hiring or borrowing equipment
from neighboring farmers and SOL
diers may use their jeeps for plow-
ing.
! The announcement singled out
the Navy's e-laying school at
Point Patience, Md, as a typical
Victory garden project. The base

q smoke screen. Behind this screen
the pursuits came in-graceful P-38s
the P43 pilot models OF the Lock
heed Thunderbolts and a few OF the
hard-hitting Bell Airocobras, whose
mission was to strafe the defending
ground troops
Then came the A-2Os again, this
time on low-level bombing attack
and they were followed by a con-
centrated. artillery fire designed to
knock out enemy observation posts
and anti-tank positions. When they
had finished their mission, cerise
smoke bombs called down a flight OF
dive bombers, which had been hover
ing at 10000 feet under fighter pro-
lection.
When all Of these weapons had
finished their effort to pulverize the
enemy positions and engineers had
blasted a hole through a mine field
with Bangalore torpedoes, two waves
OF General Sherman tanks moved UP
firing their 75s as they came. The
flrst wave drove straight on through
trying to catch the enemy's artil-
lery in the rear of the combat line
The second wave concentrated its
effort on the enemy trenches. and
then the infantry moved in to finish
the job of mopping up.
Mems Attitude Praised.
To coordinate such an attack
and insure its smooth execution
there must be sound basic training
and competent Junior leaders. With
out both of these the timing almost
certainly will be of and the attack
will bog down.
Gen. White says that the attitude
OF the men Is wonderful" but
stresses the need for more training,
especially for the officers. He made
1t clear that this criticism was not
aimed at the inherent capabilities OF
the junior officers. but at what he
considers the inadequacy of their
training opportunity.
He feels that the habit of COM
mand" Is something that can be
acquired only with time: that the
oncers still are insecure in their
military knowledge and experience.
and that the men know it. This is
the reason for the long, hard hours
OF training under the gruelling des-
ert conditions.
In the demonstration attack the
men. and particularly the officers.
looked good. But battle experience
has shown that the training is not
adequate and 1t would be foolish to
ignore this lesson. Hence the men
coming to Desert City and those
going to other training centers may
expect the grind to be increasingly
tough. Even this will leave them
lacking the fine edge that comes
with combat. but the visit here has
convinced this party that nothing
will be left undone which can be
accomplished by intensive training
under the inescapable limitations
which the time factor imposes.
