INVASION FORCE
 WELL EQUIPPED
American Troops Carrying Best in Weapons, Hand
 Grenades to Meet Foe

Springfield, Mass, sept. 2--Amer- ican invasion troops are being sup- piled with increased quantities of hand and rifle grenade equipment according to Brig. Gen. Guy II. Drewry, District Chief, commanding the Springfield Ordnance District.
 "This means more firepower for our combat teams in close-in fight ing" General Drewry. said. "Both hand and rifle grenades are ex- trernely effective auxiliary weapons In trench or foxhole warfare, or on missions where the enemy may be encountered close at hand"
 While 1t is customary to think to- day in terms of long range, highly Inechanized warfare, considerable close combat and hand-to- o-hand fighting, close combat tactics are also employed by the infantry in consolidating ground already gained by the armored forces.
 Hand grenadeS are of two types. Augmentation grenades contain an explosive charge in body designed to fragment with the action of the bursting charge. They are used principally against enemy personnel Offensive grenadeS contain 6 high explosive charge in paper body, designed for demolition effect against pill boxes and similar ene- my installations.
 Hand grenades usually have 6 five second delayed fuse. They are thrown by a combination of a shot put and a baseball catcher's peg motion. Troops in training throw 30 or 40 grenades a day for three or more days. Hand grenade accur- acy on Attu was particularly good.
 Modern rifle grenades are filled with high explosive and detonate on Impact. The launcher is affixed to the rifle by clamp, forming an extension to the rifle barrel. The grenade itself, which weighs about l 1-2 pounds, Is fired by a special blank cartridge. Rifle grenades proved their battle worth against tanks and armored vehicles in North Africa.
 Rifle grenades have proved so successful in various theaters of operation that the Army decided to extend their use. The Ordnance Department. Army Service Forces, has therefore developed grenade launchers to fit, not only the Spring field rifle, but the Garand and car pine as well all of which are manu- factured by facilities in the Spring field Ordnance District.

The War Food Administration, Office of Price Administration, the ow1 and the War Advertising Council are starting a concerted ef- fort to make the nation aware of our overall food problem-in terms of civilian consumption, Army and Navy needs, Lend-lease, rehabilita- ton and other demands for food caused by war and normal living. The campaign, now under way, Is labeled Food Fights For Freedom" Underlying the campaign is the rec ognition of the fact that the de- mand for food has increased faster than the possible supply. So sonle- thing must be done about 1t.
 WHY FEED ENEMIES?
 Largely because of lack of infor- nation, some civilians resent and have opposed the policy of feeding conquered peoples when we at home must endure shortages. Many par ents who bravely have given their sons to the armed forces question the wisdom of giving a mess of soy- beans to defeated Italians.
 Much of this resentment Is based on the false belief that we are feed. ing Europeans through philanthropy ic motives rather than as part of our overall military policy. Once that fact is understood, the entire civilian population may be willing to back up the Food Fights for Free dom campaign here at home and leave the fighting and feeding to our
 military leaders. They promise that such an arrangement definitely will get the boys home sooner.

TODAY'S WAR
 MOVES
 (Reg. U. S. Pat. Ofi1ce) BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst

Italys failure to surrender short. ly after the downfall of MuSsolin is shaping up as the only req break" Hitler has had in this yeal of almost continuous reverses.
 Whether Italy surrenders Is al. most . side issue now in the course of the war, compared to what il would have been a month ago. Then 1taly's equalization would have car. ried the Allies to the northern plains below the Alps, completely tlanking the Balkans and giving them bases for intensification oi the aerial devastation of the Reich
 There were not enough Germans in Italy at the time to put up ef. fective resistance If the Italians laid down their arms. Now, neither Badoslio's nor any government that might succeed 1t could surrender mora than half of Italy If 1t wished
 The Germans have used the in- tervening time to mass troops in the northern half of the country cxtending probably as far south as Rome. and to perfect defenses for a long delaying action. The number of Germans now in the country Is estimated at perhaps S5o,0o0 oi more.
 " Italian Capitulation
 Capitulation of the Italian gov. crnment>at this stage would simpli- ty greatly the occupation of south eTn Italy as far north as Rome and save Q great deal of Italian and AL lied blood. It would also nulllfy the usefulness to Hitler of Italian troops stu in northern Italy. the Balkans cnd southern France-if they have not already been withdrawn.
 Surrender or not. southern Italy las now been blasted by sea and ar into ripeness for invasion, which is not likely to be withheld long un- less there are signs of early capitu- lstion which do not appear on the surface.
 If Italian resistance Is no great. CT than 1t was in Sicily, the process should not take long, depending to some extent on how much "stiffen- ing" in the way of troops the Nazis gre able to provide. The cleanup might be hastened by an Allied lending in force near Naples or above to isolate the lower part of tEe Peninsula.
 After that. however, the prospect is for a long, hard fight before the Germans can be swept back of the Alps. This delay Is all to Hitlers advantage. It probably would tie mp at least 5oo,0oo Allied troops and greatly lessen his danger in the un- easy Balkans. An entirely separate army would be required if the AL lies intend to act there in the near future.

the Office of Foreign Relief and Rehabilitation Operations. If we find ourselves limited to one egg a day and jugging the rabbit for dinner instead of broiling beef steak, there will be a war reason behind 1t.
 The Nazi policy has been to con- quer first. then starve the conquered people. But the Allies feed the van pushed. We learned on the long march from Casablanca to Tunisia that food is a good antidote to Nazi propaganda. And we are learning quickly in Sicily that victuals nur- ture victory.
