Soldiers THROWING
.Grenades al laps

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 4 LP)-The chiefs
of Army Engineers and the Navy
construction battalion had only
praise today for the action of bull
dozers in meeting enemy opposition
in the Southwest Pacific, especially
on TaraWa.
In separate interviews. Maj. Gen.
Eugene Reybold, chief engineer of
the Army Corps of Engineers. and
Rear Admiral Ben Moreell related
how the rugged dirt-movers not only
honeycombed dense jungles with
highways teeming with military
traffic but aided in driving the
enemy from his strongholds and
built bases after he left.
With the bulldozers' heavy blades
raised as shields troops drove close
to the holes where the japanese
were burrowed and tossed grenades
into them" Gen. Reybold said.
Several hundred miles of military
roads have been built in one small
area in New Guinea alone since last
spring, he asserted and trucks, jeeps
and equipment keep those roads
more crowded than you ever saw
your city boulevards."
Admiral Moreell, here to address
the st. Louis section of the Ameri-
can Society OF Civil Engineers, said
he viewed marine combat intelli-
gence motion pictures today of the
action on Tarawa.
In one scene a Seabee on a bull
dozer is scrapng away the top of
a japanese machine gun pillobx so
the marines could get to the Japs
inside
In other instances, he said, bull
dozers had advanced against heavy
gunflre to bury enemy gun en-
placements by driving back and
forth over them.
Gen. Reybold is returning to
Washington after tour of Army
bases in the Central, South and
Southwest Pacific.
I'VE were short on many tvpes
OF equipment particularly the
heavy stuff-for long time" he
asserted, but the situation is much
better now. Shortages of a few
months ago are being wiped out.
He said from his observation the
three machines most useful to
American troops in the Pacific are
the jeep, the bulldozer and the
troop-carrying transport plane.

Vital 10 Our 5trateqy

II American forces had not been
successful in their offensive on Quad
alcanal, the japanese might have
taken the whole chain of islands
down through the New Hebrides to
New Caledonia, until they were
separated from Australia by only
the narrow Coral Sea. 1t. Gen.
Alexander A, Vendegrift, newly
appointed commandment of the
Marine Corps, said yesterday aft
ernoon in radio interview from
his home in Foxall Village here.
The alternative-victory at Quad

tinue to force our way north to
Rabaul and into the Gilberts, and
hope to acquire a series of bases
from which to build major Often
sives, Gen. Vandegritt said.
We Learned Patience.
when the time comes to add up
the score in the Pacific, think we
shall find that our successful initial
offensive on Guadalcanal was
highly important" he added.
In further review of the Guadal-
canal operations, which he COM
manded, Gen. Vandegrift empha-
sized the valuable lessons learned by
the American forces. He expressed
the opinion that the Marines and
the Japanese taught each other
something of jungle warfare on that
island"
One of the principal things they
taught us was patience he said.
Patience to lie for hours, even days.
in fox holes on the firing line. To
wait until the enemy was virtually
upon us. before opening fire"
The Japs on Guadalcanal fought
with craft and deception, Gen. Van
degrift said, but the Marines taught
the japanese they could be de-
feated."
The Once Invincible Jap.
Every japanese soldier until
Guadalcanal. thought himself in
vlncible. And, on his record until
lHdG lliile, TIC lldu reason 10 lnlnk
so"
The Marine commandment hailed
the American success at Tarawa as
giving them something to think
about in Toxic" and also reported
on present operations on Bougain-
vile
I'VE continue to improve our posi-
tions on Bougainville, =" he said. But
the Japanese haven't been elimi-
mated as yet. They are still strong
at BUN and other points.
Mrs. Vandegrift also spoke on the
radio program, agreeing with her
husband that eventually they hope
to settle down within view of the
Virginia hills and mountains"
