Quartermasters Act
AS Infantry Troops
In Battle of France

WITH U. S. FORCES IN FRANCE
With bag of forty-nine German
prisoners, and incalculable heroics
under fire in combat to its credit, a
Quartermaster Troop Battalion has
been in the front lines adapting
itself to the new chores imposed by
the Super-blitz our U. S. forces have
unleashed on enemy units facing
our armored and infantry spear
heads.
BY force of circumstances, the
success Of the break-through of the
German lines that started at st. Lo
in Normandy and is now ending it's
final stages in Brittany, depended
entirely upon the success of the
mission Of these Negro truck Criv-
ers. Without realizing the inpor-
tance of their mission, these SOL
diers, who drive trucks like cow
boys ride horses. went into battle
untested, unframed, and came out
with the praise of every commander
ringing in their ears.
New Offensive Weapon
This tank and truck team opera
ton is a new experiment of mobile
warfare. So fluid and fast is this
war now being waged that no longer
can the infantry keep up with the
tanks, and in order to establish
the deep breaks that have been re-
corded, and maintain them, in
fantry must accompany the tanks.
So, Negro service soldiers had to
be called upon to go into combat
carrying infantry.

thing to be constructed, for for many
months the only answer to the
question. Can I get a place to stay
on the poSt?" must of necessity
be "No." Recently, with the COM
pletion of more civilian quarters,
the housing officer has been able
to change his answer and to ac-
commodate many more families.
Not only must this large physical
plant be operated and maintained,
but it is duty of the Post Engineer
as fire marshal to furnish fire pro-
lection. Scattered over the post sew
eral fire stations are to be found,
with their fire fighting equipment
and crews of men on continuous
duty. 1t is not only the duty of these
crews to fight fires when they oc-
cur, but also work for their preven-
ton as we'll They also must take
the lead in the fighting of grass,
brush and timber fires on the res
ervation.
Permanent type training aid struc-
lures also come under the mainte-
nance work of this department, with
any necessary reconstruction that
may be needed; also the rest CEN
terS that are provided for the SOL
dier in some of the towns he may
visit on weekend furloughs.

needed in a training center such, as
this would be and he set himself
out asSiduously to obtain those
things. Because of. his industry,
knowledge and hard work, Hua-
chuca can boast of having facilities
as fine as any in the whole country.
Small Administrative Staff
Less than fifty five people handle
the administrative problems of the
office of service and supply. Work..
ing in close cooperation with the
Post Commander and the Post En-
gineerS' office, they have been able
to meet the needs of the Forts per-
sonnel, both military and civilian,
adequately.
Key military personnel in the
organization are: Captain John
Westerfield, of the Post Quarter
master office; Captain Harold H.
Craig, of the Property office; and
Captain Paul Lamoure, of the
Quartermaster Motor Pool Mrs.
Aleen Kingsley, chief clerk, is
valuable civilian aide, as is Mr..
Alexander B. Mcknight, at the
Quartermaster warehouses. Captain
Lizandro Gonzales, of the Quarter
master Salvage office, is also a key
military aide of Colonel Brooks.

Navigator Wings
Given 30 Students
AT Hondo Air Field

HONDO ARMY AIR FIELD.
Hondo, Texas = Thirty Negro stu
dents comprising the largest class
in the history of this huge airbase
of the AAF Training Command, re-
ceived silver navigator'S wings this
week (Monday, August 2D during
graduation exercises at the post
theater, the War Department an
nounced today.
1t was the second Negro group to
complete the strenuous 18-week
AAF training program for combat
navigators. The first unit, number
ing "a Negro students, won wings
and commissions at Hondo Field
February 26, 1914.
The members of the latest class
began their training at Hondo Field
April 10 of this year. The graduates
numbered 81 cadets, one warrant Of
ficer (junior grade) and two second
lieutenants. Upon completion of the
course IL of the cadets were COM
missioned flight officers; the re-
naming 16 cadets and the warrant
officer were commissioned second
lieutenantS.
Members of the new class have
absorbed hundreds of hours of in
struction, both in the air and in
ground classrooms, from veteran
navigators who themselves expert
enced months of rugged combat
against the enemy during the ear
lier days of the war.
After 18 weeks of intensive train
ing involving $4,000 miles of prac-
tice combat flight in twin-engined
training craft, these young men are
thoroughly qualified to chart long
distance bombing routes for the
AAF'S bomberS.
BY day or by night in fair or in
clement weather, the AAF combat
navigator is adept with the tools of
navigation. He is trained to arrive
over the target with split-second ac-
curacy. The stars, terrain land
marks, radio beams, and ''blind fly
ing" instruments are the purpose
skeleton keys" with which he un-
locks the doors to Axis nerve CEN
ters.

Another item in the operation of
the post is the central steam plants
together with their maintenance
and that of the service lines. One
plant furnishes heat for the hos
pital area together with all neces-
sary steam for the hospital equip
ment. The other plant furnishes
steam for the two laundries and
the dry cleaning plant.
Keep Food Sanitary
The old saying is that an army
travels on its stomach. While the
purchasing and handling of food
Stuffs is a function of the Quarter
master, most of it must be kept in
cold storage, and here is where the
Post Engineers come in, as the op-
Grafton and maintenance of such
plants is another of his jobs, to-
gether with the making of many
tons OF ice daily. The ice plant at
this post being able to produce up
to so tons daily. Not only does the
post engineers operate the cold
storage plants, but the mechanical
refrigeration units of mess halls
and quarters also come under his
care.
Included in this work also are the
many mechanical cooling and air
conditioning units found in many
of the buildings, especially those of
the hospital group.
Where the soldier begins to
scratch and on investigation finds
the cause of his trouble is an inva-
sion of his barracks by bed bugs,
again the call goes out for the post
engineer, and his fumigation squad
moves in, for vermin determination
and control is another job of this
many sided department.
Supervise Housing
Another headache, but which is
now having its better moments with
the completion of more houses, is the
task of housing officers. This post,
due to its location, must needs house
many of its officer families and ci-
william workers. Due to the rapid
expansion, housing was the last

Colonel Brooks, with the
help of capable aides, has
solved his problems, however,
and at the end of cycle which
has seen over 10000 soldiers
quartered in the installation dur
ing the past three years, Fort Hua-
chuca, due in great part to his skill
in engineering and administration,
has risen from the status of a
sparsely inhabited desert outpost
to physical plant capable of sus-
tanning the largest city in the State
of Arizona.
During that time not one person
legitimately on the Post has suf-
fered from lack of anything in the
nature of physical needs which a

both in foreign countries and in
the United States, Colonel Brooks

are the prime functions of the Post
Engineer Department, a great deal
OF construction work is also done by
them. During the period of training
OF troops at this post, not only have
many additions and alterations been
made to existing buildings and
structures, extensions made to
sewer, water, gas and electric lines
and paved roads, but much con-
structlon has been done, especially
in the line of recreational facili-
ties. Several tennis courts have been
built, softball diamonds equipped
with lighting for playing at night,
Fairgrounds for the school children,
a golf course and club house, base
ball diamonds with bleacher seat
ing. Also among these is Sergeant
Wells Memorial Field, a grass cov-
cred field with stadium seating
ten thousand people, and an open
air theater, with bleacher type seat
ing for about $500 persons.

Wi||kie Urges U. 5.
To Abandon Policy
OF NationaIism
- the Associated Press.

- the Associated Press.
CONCORD, N. H., Mar. 9.-Wen-
dell Willkie declared today that the
America Of the future could be the
greatest in history if it effects
abandonment of narrow national
istic policies" and shows real and
tangible cooperation among the
nations"
The 1910 Republican presidential
candidate, in an address before the
10th annual meeting of the New
Hampshire Good Roads Association,
said the initiative and the self
reliance and the character of our
individual citizens e can find
a fruitful field for operation only in
the unlocking of Americas economic
DOORS"
Mr.. Willlkie spoke only few days
before the New Hampshire presi-
Dental primaries-the first in the
Nation-in which supporters of Mr..
Willkie and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
will battle for votes of the electorate
as delegates to the Republican Ma
tional Convention.
He said the Nation today "hesi-
tates and doubts its own capacity"
In handling postwar problems, add
ing that there were two schools of
thought on the subject, with both of
which he was in disagreement.
Some men "are saying that the
solution of our problems lies in
releasing our economic life from
any regulation and in returning
to the States practically all the ad-
ministrative functions of the Fed
eral Government, Mr.. Willkie de-
clared.
There is another school of think
ing, to which the present admins
tration apparently belongs, that
would give to the Federal Govern
nent even greater control, minute
and detailed power of direction over
our economic and social life.
There are some of us, however,
who believe that neither of these
attitudes represents a solution. For
we know that in complex modern
industrial life the Federal Govern
ment operating by law, not by Ca
price, must exercise regulatory au-
thority to insure the freedom of our
citizens"
