industry. Army doctors recog-
nize it can help in the rehabilita-
ton of war victims. Loss of limbs
or injuries can be overcome by
strengthening other parts of the
body. Most important it can re-
store confidence and initiative to
the wounded men. AS we men
toned last week, Mendell has done
so much with legless, armless,
hunchback and otherwise crippled
people that he has been called the
"Pasteur Of Athletics"
But like all educators and doc
tors, Mendell is more interested
in prevention than cure. He is
anxious to enroll boys from up
in his Rangers-Commando cadets.
He sees his American Way" as
coordinated plan to build the
physical and mental stamina of
inter-American youth for actual
participation in the present war
effort and to prepare them for
postwar problems.
AS Brooks Mendell puts it,
Every American is a dynamite
charge. All we need to do is to
teach him how to set himself off"
Keep your eye on this man.
Brooks has gone all out as a CIV
ilian in his desire to help the war
effort. Captain Briscoe of the
Royal Artillery, of the British
Army, has called Brooks plan
the most outstanding contribu-
ton to the war effort" It's our
guess that Mendell's technique
THE American Way" will be a
standby not only on every fighting
front where hand to hand battle
may mean the difference between
life and death-but in every camp
and what's more on every campus
the country over.

have learned to resort to.
The command of the body as
weapon is crucial in such warfare.
Japan and Germany long ago rec
ognized this fact. We have al
ready heard a great deal about
the tricks of German panzer
troops and of Jap soldiers trained
in jiu-jitsu. Brooks Mendell knows
all of them and has spent his life
developing an American defense
built upon the tough American
hody-contact sports-football, box
ing, catch-as-catch-can wrestling.
In 1.-The American Way" train
ees are taught body conscious
ness which makes them constant
ly aware that every muscle from
the tops of their heads to the tips
of their toes can be coordinated
into an arsenal to defend them
selves in hand-to-hand combat
For toughening purposes the
Commando technique develop
themselves through obstacle run
ming, jumping and swimming. 1t
is well named 1.-THE American
Way for Brooks would make it
strong enough to defend ourselves
against all aggression once it
comes. Nor does it require
strength alone. When demon
strating at a camp, Menden
chooses the weaker soldiers and
the psychological effect upon
them when they discover they can
overthrow their bigger buddies is
tremendous. Yet because it is
based on the body and conceived
to take advantage of the natural
power of the body, unarmed and
dependent on muscle, poise and
coordination alone, the training is
not limited to the military, in fact
it is democratic, just because it is
also civilian, a basic technique IN
peace as in war. Manpower peo-
pie see it as one answer to the
problem of the workers in war

(ED. NOTE: This is the Sec
ond and final article on Brooks
Mendell whose counter judo tech
nique-more picturesquely describ-
ed as 1.-The American Way"-has
been called 1.-THE Most Outstand-
ing Contribution to the War
Effort.)
THE ART OF "UNARMED
DEFENSE"
Last week we explained briefly
the essence of Counter Judo-the
new fighting technique which
more and more rapidly is being
adopted by our armed forces as
one of the most effective and
deadliest means of hand to hand
fighting this war has produced.
Army, Navy, and Manpower Of
ficials have already recognized MS
work, for he compliments the pre-
paredness of Americas fighting
men both on the battle and the
production fronts. 1t is only
matter of time before Mr.. Mendell
will be given an overall spot
whereby his teachings will reach
every man in our armed forces as
well as the majority of the CIV
ilian population on the nome
front.
Because of the huge develop
ment of machines in todays
global war, fighting has, on many
fronts. reverted to hand-to-hand
tactics, close bayonet infightlng'
scouting and merciless battles be-
tween small units and teams. IN
the Pacific, on Guadalcanal in the
Solomons and in Buna in the New
Guinea area, American soldiers
have been faced time and again
with the necessity to wage the
kind of guerrilla warfare the
Chinese, the Russians and otner
victims of fascism like the Greeks
