ROLL CALL FOR INVASION-NO 2- Engineers Ready To Put Roads, Rails, Airports Under Invasion Army

tionS have carried out program for which the equipment, supplies and construction materials would require a freight train 20,O0O miles long.
 The Engineers job in the United Kingdom alone staggers the imag- ination. Take simply the matter of building fields for the Eighth and Ninth Air Forces. The British did most of this work, furnishing us with all the land, buildings, mater ial and most of the labor as part of reverse lendlease. But the Engineers part in planning and supervision in- volved figures like these:
 One air field is equivalent to c $5-6,OOO, 900 construction job in the States. There are scores of them. The runwayS, roads and "hard standings" (perimeter track, diSper- sal points, etc.) of U. s. air fields in Britain total the equivalent of 20- foot concrete highway from New ork to Berlin.
 MUST KNOW ENEMY TERRAIN
 Among others of the Engineers jobs here in the United Kingdom has been the supervision of build- ing hospitals, camps, training areas and storage depots. Six recently completed depots involve an area equal to half of Manhattan Island. And the total construction job would have taken an Army division. working 48 hours week, a working lifetime to complete.
 But such local tasks have been fairly simple compared to the job of preparing for continental opera tions. Planning for the invasion means first for all having terrain intelligence report. It's up to the Engineers to get that report. There were more than 1000 pages in the rrain-intelligence report for the North African campaign.
 The Engineers must assume that the enemy will destroy every means of communication possible. So they must know full details on every river, not only the details of bridges now crossing 1t. but what would be necessary to replace these bridges. There is bridging equipment alIocat- ed to every division, corps and army. But this Is mobile equipment. The Engineers must replace 1t with semi-permanent bridges as soon as possible, or the division will run cut of it's equipment.
 The Engineers must have all data on all railroads. They must be prepared to bring in sailS and ties

clock making and brass industry. Thirteen are for mechanical time fuzeS for bombs, three are for shells, four for mines and four grouped under the cartrige case classifica- tion. All are being handled by the SOD Ammunition section.
 Fuzes can be adapted to meet ,amphibious warfare in the South west Pacific, for example, Army special combat requirements. For Ordnance has developed a new type of fuze which enabled the in- fantry to cope with Jap fortifica- tionS.
 Facing difficulties in transporta- tion, the infantry pressed mortars into service in areas where heavy artillery was not available. Firing its projectile in high trajectory, the motar could drop shells into Jap Slit-trenches and dugoutS.
 Early in the campaign, these mor- tarS employed point-detonating fuze which burst upon impact. The shells functioned perfectly where

Springfield, Mass, April 2l.- Ammunition experts of the Ord- nance Department, Army Service Forces, are in daily contact with all batlefronts to fulfill new combat needs as quickly as possible, ac- cording to Brig. Gen. Guy H. Drewy, district chief, commanding the Springfield Ordnance District.
 The most valuable work of this kind involves fuzes, the mechanical brains of artillery projectiles and bombs. By controlling the time of explosion, the fuze regulates the behavior of the bursting charge. Without perfectly functioning fuzes, bombs and shells would either be worthless or unsafe to handle.
 Manufacturers of the Spring field Ordnance District are among the major suppliers of these fuzes. Twenty-four prime contracts are held at present in this area by pro- ducerS in Hartford, Waterbury, Bridgeport and New Haven, a ma jority being allied with Connecticut

 S Youth in Hawaii

1aSatenant clayton .. Toffey, 22, On of MT. and Mrs. Fred Toffey of Watertown, was killed in Q plane crash in Hawaii April 12. according GO Q War Department telegram re- ceived yesterday by his parents. He entered the service Sept. 30, 1922, end had been overseaS about two months.
 lieutenant Toffey was Q graduate Of Watertown high school and was employed as a netallurgist ct the Chase Brass 6 Copper O., before entering the Army. He attended hight school at Yale.
 Three of his six brothers are in the service: Arthur, Q sergeant, in England; Donald, Q seaman second class, who is on seq duty; and Wall ter. a private, now stationed in the 5outh Pacific. Other survivors, be- sideS his parents, are his brothers, Fred, Jr., and Harold, of Trumbull, and Lloyd of Watertown: four sis- ters, Mrs. Thomas Kearn of Ban- lam; Mrs. stephen Reiless of Dan- bury, Mrs. Henry Duncan of Nor- Folk, Va, and Miss Alma Toffey of Watertown.

the Japs were caught in the open, or under light shelter. For dug-in Qualifications, however, there was a need for a time fu1e mortar pro- jectile - an innovation in infantry warfare.
 A fuze, which incorporated many parts from standard fuzes, was quickly designed, tried out on a log barricade, manufactured, packed and rushed overseas.
 Within the space of days, an American task force embarking up- on a new Pacific offensive had ample supplies of the new fire power. The infantry's favorite weapon, the mortar, gained a new and deadlier sting. The JapS learned about 1t through stunning casualty lists.
 Japs are also very much aware of the Army Ordnance airburst fu7e which explodeS anti-personne1 pro- jectiles over the heads of Nips on jungle trails, showering the enemy with deadly shell fragments.
 Army Ordnance also develops fuzes required by the Army Air Force. Now available are tail bomb fuzeS which explode blockbuSterS at any desired time-Second, minute, hours, or days. These fuSeS with stand rupture and premature ex- plosion even when dropped upon solid concrete from heights of 4,- 900 feet. They permit bombs to penetrate armored Jap ships and plunge deep into the interior before exploding.
