Passion For Perfection Marks BradIey's Military BriIiance
BY NEA SERVICE


 When Lieut.. Gen. Omar Nelson Bradley replaced Gen. Lesley Me Nair, recently killed in action, as chief of an American forces in the French field, he not only acquired the greatest actice command ever massed under the American flag, but suddenly made himself a can. didate for a top spot among the military geniuses of all history.
 This is probably very surprising to Bradley. whose permanent rank last spring was only Lieutenant Col. onel, and who never regarded hlm- self as much of fircbrand. That Bradley now bosses Lieut.. Gen. George CPistol Packin1 Patton. un- der whose command Bradley made his field debut in North Africa. has probably not struck him as a reason for undue jubilation. General Brad Icy is not a gloater: he is mild to the point Of meekness. and he is so unflashv. compared to swashbucklers like Patton. that he sometimes ape pears as a very dull midwestern cracker-barrel type. This air Of homely mediocrity is deceptive.
 Actually Bradley is a very tough. methodical, brilliant. stubborn fight. ing man. whose passion for perfec. tion in both man and maneuver has thrust him high up the military lad der in a very short time. General Patton, now Bradley's subordinate as commander of the Third Army in Europe. made the big noise in North Africa. but it was Bradley who made the impression on his superiors and because of his bril- liance in wrapping up the Africa Corps on the Cape Bon peninsula. it was Bradley who was made chief Of the American invasion ground forces.
 "DOUGHBOY'S DOUGHBOY"
 If any one man is a symbol of the undramatic. slogging infantry. which finally wins or leses wars after the debonair specialists have prepared the way. it is the 5i-year- old Bradley. who is as unpictures- que as a pair Of CT coveralls. Far from the foxy dapperness Of Mont gomery. lacking all the noisy osten- tation Of the safeguarding Patton. Omar Nelson Bradley is recogniz- able as a doughboy's doughboy as far as you. can see him.
 His six feet of -awboned flesh is gawky and shambling. He wears CT jackets. pants and shoes. He doesn't even own a dress cap. His face is rough-cut and homely. his ears flange out from his close-clipped. sparse gray hair. and his one touch of distinction is in the sharp black eyes that sweep swiftly under thick black brows. He still talks like Clark. Mo. where he was born in 1893 to a country school teacher who had a
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-08-29

hogwash. He added that it would be tough. but that his men had the best training and equipment in the world. and that there was no doubt they would use these assets well. It developed he was right.
 TRUST BRADLEY
 His men trust Bradley. They trusted him in Tunisia where. as commander of the Second Corps, replacing Patton, he was given Ferryville and Mateur to knock over. Bradley mixed his learning with common sense. carried his 100000 men to the German stronghold in a series of back breaking night maneuvers. and applied the crush- CT that ended the Africa Corps in Africa. For the brilliance of his tac- tics at Bizerte and Mateur, he was jerked out of the Sicilian show and fetched back to England to do the spade work for the French invasion.
 Although he attained a majors rank in World War I. Omar Brad. iey's background is almost 100 uer- cent bookish. He taught at West Point. he saw duty in Hawaii and attended the command and general staff schools. He was responsible for the conversion of the infantry school at Ft. Benning to mass pro- duction: he trained several divisions for combat. He was sent to Tunisia by General Marshall as a trouble shooter, to unsnaTl the fouled-up American troops who seemed to be doing most things wrong. His first act was to insist on unifying his command, which up to that time had been dissipated in small scat- tered forces. From then on he moved like flaming grass.
 CBEECKER-UPPER
 Bradley Is not, like some other generals. q man who likes to del- egate his powers to sub0rdinates. He is an ardent checkeT-npper on details. and believes in getting as close to the job as possible. For that reason Bradley's little Piper cub has become a familiar sight to Q great many of his troops. They never know when the boss will circle down out Of the sky to SC how and what they're doing.
 As Q planneF of campaigns. he has odne a rare job Of combining his booklearnlng with practical shortcuts. some extremely un- orthodox. but always with the view to saving men and material, He doesn't believe in hitting until all the breaks are with him. and then he doesn't stop. Typical vas the showdown of the Normandy cam. paign when bad flying weather dull cd the Allied air arm 10 practical llselessness Bradley said at the time: "Giye me three good flying days, and we'll move out Of here" He got the weather he asked for. and at this writing had not stopped moving.

 We find Captain Eisenhower at Fort Leavenworth In Kansas. near his old boyhood home at Abilene, as Instructor Of Provisional ofacers at the Army Service Schools from Dee. 1. i9i7. to March l, 1918; then organizing the 65th Battalion Engi- neers at Camp Meade. in Mary. land. and finally commander ai Camp Colt. the old Gettysburg bat- tlefield in Pennsylvania, not far from the birthplace of his father, from March % to Nov. is. 1918.
 There is a story told about Ike at Gettysburg. He had a junior officer who always agreed with him. Turning Co the yes man." he exclaimed. "1 want you to figure out some things which are wrong with this camp. You make me un- comfortable by always agreeing with me. feel that you either don't say what you think. or that you are as big a fool as I aml"
 Ike handled priyates with the same tact he uses with presidents. While stationed at a camp as C. o. he heard of a pair of privates who were constantly battling with one another. He solved the difficulty by assigning the two to a window cleaning detail. They were ordered to work on the same pane at the same time. one doing the outside, the other the inside At the begin- ming of the task the two had noth- ing but scowls and growls for each other. They could not keep up their enmity for long as the humor of the situation began to dawn on them. Soon they burst out laugn- ing. Harmony was restored through 1ke's clever tact.

the state, If we are to provide an uninterrupted supply of adequately trained workers to meet the needs Of state industry"
 Apprentice training program for veterans and high school students are now being conducted in New Haven, Bridgeport. Waterbury, Mer- iden, New London, Hartford. New Britain. Stamford and other indus trial cities of the state.
 The passage Of the c. I. Bin is expected to increase substantially the number Of veterans who will seek this training. At present many veterans who have returned from war fronts in the Pacific and Eu- rope have gone into different fac- tories Of the state and are now training for better jobs in industry.
 Under the G. I. Bill the veteran who goes into training receives a certain stipend weekly in addition to the hourly wages which he is paid while training in the factory. The two combined. result in substantial weekly remuneration for the vet- eran.
 The State Apprentice Council, formed in l938 has been cooperat- ing with management. labor. edu- cational authorities and the public in this state. looking toward the de- velopment of adequate apprentice ship standards and programs by companies ard labor organizations Of Connecticut. It has established standards of apprenticeship for various trades in terms of job ex- perience. related technical instruc- ton and wages and has established a register of firms which have met these standards and submitted them 10 the council for approval and supervision. Because of this the council is well prepared to aid the veteran. industry and the Veteran Administration
 Valuable assistance has been given the council by the field representa- tives of the Federal Apprentice Training Service.
 BOnatiue apprentice ralnees lil state industry are not counted against ceilings until the period Of training is ended.
 The State Apprentice Council ex- poets that many more veterans will take advantage Of the courses of- fered them in the near future. The council is prepared to do its utmost to take care of a sudden increase in trainees if the demand should make this necessary.

New York. Aug. % 9- 0UP) The American Jewish conference, in a memorandum submitted to Secre- tary Of State C0rdeli Hull, urged to- day that the United Nations de- mand in their armistiee terms that Axis war criminals be surrended for punishment.
 ''The Axis crimes against Jews can not go unpunished without destroying the legal and moral foundations upon which our eiyili- zation rests" the memorandum read.
 Among the punishable crimes should be the publicly announced intent of Axis nations to annihilate the Jews, the conference said.
 Other proposals were:
 Indictments against persons guilty Of war crimes against civilian pOpu- lations should include acts against the Jewish people.

 As a youngster. Bradley learned to shoot so well that he could knock over a flying pheasant with a rifle. and his body developed so strongly that his baseball and football still are a subject for West Point con servation. Together with General Eisenhower, It. Gen. Joseph McNar- ney. Maj. Gen. Charles Ryder and Gen. George E. Stratemeyer. Brad ley was a graduate Of the class of 1915. and ranked about 20 notches ahead of Eisenhower '3ut where General Ike was something of a hellraiser. Bradley was even then the quiet. methodical man who never gave anybody any trouble. It can be added that Bradley attended West Point chiefly because it was a way of getting a free education.
 Bradley departed from his profes. sional quiet only once before the in- vasion. That was when. in a speech 10 officers of his command. he said bluntly that all loose talk about ter. rife invasion casualties was Q lot of
