Looking Hearty at IS,
Secretary Reports on
l0-Doy, 6,000-MiIe Trip

Reporting on a 6,0OO-mile inspec-
ton trip to maneuver areas in the
South and West from which he has
just returned, Secretary of War
Stimson said today he was i'm
pressed with the fact that "the
spirit of willingness among the men
in the field is superior to that of
the men in garrisons"
What impressed the 100 or more
persons who attended his press con-
ference, however, was the physical
fitness of the 75-year- cabinet
officer who showed no signs of strain
from Today trip under an assort-
ment of conditions that included
temperature of 105 degrees in the
Southwest desert. He both looked
well and felt well.
Personal Reconnaissance"
A field artillery officer in the last
war, Mr.. Stimson likes to go out of
Washington to make what he calls
personal reconnaissance" of the
soldiers in the field. In this way, he
said, he can keep in better touch
with things and find out more about
| the men.
On his trip he visited the armored
force center at Fort Knox, KY, saw
tank destroyerS in action at Camp
Hood. Tex, and antiaircraft firing at
Fort Bliss, Tex. Then he moved on
to the desert training center in
Southern California to encounter
extreme heat and visited San Diego
| to see the Consolidated aircraft
! plant and the.North Island air bases.
From the coast he made side trips
in Arizona and New Mexico and
then went on to the field artillery
at Fort Sill, Okla.
My most dominant impression
was of the intensity of our training
effort as compared with the last
war" Mr.. Stimson said. ineffective
measures have been discarded and
replaced by the best methods learned
at the front. It was very heartening
indeed, to see the fine physical con-
dltlon of the men who are getting
harder and tougher"
Nothing Soft" About Training.
Mr.. Stimson said, There was
nothing soft" about the training
area in the Southern California
desert, where troops are encounter
ing all conditions of terrain they are
likely to find in North Africa.
He was impressed by the ''extraor-
dlnarlly good Workmanship" he wit
messed on the part of gunners in
the tank destroyer units at Camp
Hood. He claimed it would be fair
to say that the tank is an American
development of the war.
The maneuvers of the armored
forces he witnessed at Fort Knox
indicated to Mr.. Stimson great
progress that has been made in both
tank equipment and mobility of fire
power"
Mr.. Stimson characterized the
demonstration of mass artillery fire
which he saw at Fort Sill as come
thing terrific" The Tunisian cam
paign, he pointed out, has proved
that artillery is far from losing its
function in modern war.
