MERRILL'S men
STILL FIGHTING

GEN. STILWELL'S HEADQUAR-
TIERS IN INDIA, Aug. 6.-RAThe
famous American infantry task
force, "Merrilps Marauders" has
been reinforced and is still fight
ing somewhere in the field ~
Burma, the Army announced Off
cially today.
Brig. Gen. Frank Merrill is him
self stationed at Randy, Ceylon,
where he. was assigned over a
month ago as 1t. Gen. Joseph w.
Stllwelrs personal representative.
Brig. Gen. Theodore F. Vessels is
commanding the Myitkyina task
force.
The change in MerrilPs status
was made solely for reasons OF
health, headquarters stated, and
there was no connection between
the change in his assignment and
the inquiry into return of GONZALES
ent Marauders to duty from the
battle of Myitkyina which, an Off
cial investigat on, determined, had
caused a breakdown in Maraudef
morale.
1t was the second time Merrill S
health had forced him to retire
from active command. During the
early stages of the Burma cam
paign he was unable to continue
his duties owing to a heart all
ment. He refused to be evacuated.
however, and Stilwell. taking cog
nizance of his great popularity
with the men, eventually permit
ted him to return to his command.
Should his condition improve,
Merrill most likely will return
again to active command. Mean
while, the unit that bears mis- name
has received requirements, been
reincorporated into larger Allied
force, and still is operating, army
authorities said
