FORT KNOX, KY, May ll.-(UP)
Maj Gen. Charles l.. Scott, whose
job is to toughen men for the ar
mored forces, has this formula for
becoming good soldier: Learn
to kill without compunction; if pos
sible, get a little fun out of it."
Almost 60, Scott is reputed to be
one of the armys most competent
trainers. He is commanding gen.
eral of the armored forces replace
ment center here which has turned
out more than 100000 qualified
tankmen at the rate of $4,000 every

group of visiting newspapermen who
watched youthful tankmen crawl
1875 yards under a stream of live
machine gun fire 80 inches above

4 Persons Killed
In Texas Tornado

KILGORE, Tex, May IL up
-Four persons were reported dead
and II injured today in the wake of
tornado which cut a swath
through the east Texas oil fields.
Scores of homes, three churches
and a crowded school building were
leveled yesterday as the twister
spun through the worlds most pro-
ductive oil region. Thirty oil der
rlckS were flattened, permitting
two wells to flow wild and creating
serious fire hazard.
In the Lone Pine community,
Mrs. A. B. Tuttle, her son, Joe, 3,
and Mrs. John Morris, a neighbor,
were killed when the wind de-
moliShed the Tuttle home. Thelma
Mae French. 4, was crushed to
death and her two lear old

The arrival of Lieut. Gen. Jacob

thing remaining was the ctoice OF

BRITISH OR AMERICAN
Speculation has fluctuated be-
tween the possibility of a British
or an American commander for the
overall post. A new suggestion is
that the African and European the

the original setup, and a single
