OTHERS MURDERED

There were many more Qua
manians than those found muir
dered in the working party, &C
cording to Enrique Cruz. He did
not know the whereabouts of
those missing.
The bodies lay on the edges of
a little used jungle trail where
even our jeep threatened to
stall or get stuck in the Shiny
red mud.
They were scattered in three
groups. In the largest one, we
found "a bodies, some of them
lying in a semi-circle. There
were II in another group and
six in the last.
The hideous scene was hidden
from view by the dark, steamy
thicket and green tropical ferns
that dripped rivulets from the
morning rain.
A nauseatingly repulsive
scent of death permeated the
air, and, if that were insufficient
to mark the jungle death cham
Der, Marines who discovered the
CORY corpses August 8, had post
ed a sign. Written in red grease
crayon on a plain piece of board
nailed on a stick, the marker
stated:
SICKENING STENCIL
"Chamorro Atrocities Here"
You stepped out of the jeep
into the dense underground that
had been parted by Marine pa
trolls. The first body lay ten feet
from the trail.
Mosquitoes, gnats and green
blow flies buzzed up from the
heaped corpse, and you pulled
down your mosquito headnet
and buttoned your cuffs. The
stencil was sickening and the
sight CHASTITY. Decomposition
had set in on the bodies.
Enrique Cruz and Camacho
tied handkerchiefs about their
noses and mouths, vainly trying
to filter the odious atmosphere
they breathed.
Enrique's youthful face sud-
denly grimmaced into lines of
mature hatred.

year.
The delegate will meet with
delegates from other communi-
ties on December Is, 1914 to Sc

AAA Committeeman have
been responsible. in their COM
munities for the nations war
food production programs. In
connection with these programs,
they have helped with machin-
cry and gasoline rationing, dis
tribution of feed, fertilizer and
lining materials, crop loans and
handling dairy feed payments.
With the approach of peace,
AAA elections take on a new
significance. The solving of farm
problems at this stage of the war,
and those that face the nation
from here on out, will require
the best possible leadership and
full participation of farmers. All
farmers are urged to attend the
elections in their communities
and vote for the committeeman
who will represent them in the
difficult jobs of reconversion
that lie ahead in the not too dis
tant future.

it was planned to supplement the ground
attacks in France by dropping air-borne
troops behind enemy lines. The para
chutists and glider-borre troops dropped
in Normandy were brought back to Eng
land, re-equipped and reorganized into
the 1st Allied Air-borne Army.
Seventeen different plans were pre-
pared between July ano September for
the use of this air-borne force-au of
them discarded because of the rapid
advances of ground armies. Then came
the opportunity to cutflank the Sieg-
fried Line and the line of the Rhine,
north of Cleve.
Dropping of the British 9Th Air-borne
Division at Anthem, in the middle of
a mass Of German reserve units, includ-
ing SIS and panzer forces, was designed
to hold the bridge over the Lech, or
Dutch Rhine, permitting the British I'd
Army to pour north and west on the
direct road to Berlin. 1t didn't work
out that way. Unexpected enemy power
in repeated ferocious counterattacks
slowed the advance of the British I'd
Army at Nijmegen and the Germans
were able to bring overwhelming superb
ority in men and nateriel to bear on
the surrounded and lightly armed air
borne forces. Tactical plans had to be
changed, and the supply plans had to
follow suit.
Even successes Of our own troops fire.
quently point out the need for immed-
late changes in our supply program,
the need for special equipment made
necessary by unusual conditions en-
countered. The speed at which Allied
forces raced across France may be cited
as an example.
AS the war advances, the priority of
urgency for tanks and planes needed in
Germany today may be displaced by re-
quirements for jungle equipment needed
in the South Pacific tomorrow.
Above all, total military demands must
be kept within the limits of production
realities. Still, in spite of all these ex-
tremely variable conditions, the supply
program must of necessity involve long
range projection into years fraught with
uncertainty because subject to the ever
changing tide of world wide warfare.
Further to complicate the manage
ment and production end of the business
of fighting to victory, civilian needs
must be considered Even total war does
not exclude from the Nations economy
the demands of civilians. Needs of the
military and of civilians must be bal
anced. Distribution of supplies must be
integrated and controlled.
The need for central authority, there
fore, is self-evident. The Army Service
Forces Is that part of such central au-
thority which represents the armed
forces. The various war agencies of the
Government represent civilians as a
whole and the several groups of di-
vergent, varying interests.

piled throughout the world The volume
of such problems is commensurate to
the volume of the greatest industrial
operation in the world. Their COM
plexity surpasses all previous expert
ence.
In war, time is the most variable of
elements entering into every phase of
the business of fighting. It's control is.
to very large extent, with the enemy.
Every other factor involved in the bust
ness of war is not only variable, but
unknown except through battle expert
ence. This experience, then must reach
the production line without delay be-
cause its effect upon production is direct.
A program must he developed on the
basis that it represents the best de-
termination possible in the quantities
that will be consumed. Adequacy of
supply must be the primary purpose.
Shortages of the tools of war for the
troops in the field OF battle cannot be
tolerated.
The business Of fighting to victory,
then, is one in which the fluidity of all
its essentials compels constant changes
in the overall production plans. Battles
do not always proceed according to
plan"
Sudden Revisions
A sudden enemy thrust may necessi-
tate complete revision of planned
logistics by providing that certain equip

under foreseen circumstances, can no
longer be used

handle whatever problems were pre-
scented by the eventualities of battle
The Services of Supply was formed
on March 9, 1912. AS the mobilization
and armament program advanced, ad-
ministrative and special functions of
the Army were added and the title be-
came a misnomer So on March IL.
1943, the name was changed to Army
Service Forces. Under a single COM
mand were now placed all Army func-
tons except the fighting arms-which
in turn were divided into Army Ground
Forces and Army Air Forces.
The division between fighting" and
service" arms still is, however, q matter
Of labels only. Under modern war con-
ditions, the service" soldier takes as
active part in battle as the lighting"
soldier In fact, the ASST points out with
justifiable pride, some Service" soldiers
actually precede the infantry onto the
field of battle.
The reorganization of March, 1912, by
creating the Army Service Forces, in
effect brought about a merger of nearly
a score of already vast business enter
prises to make up what might be called
a $4,000, 100000 victory business. That
huge figure approximates the total
funds made available to the Army Serv-
ice Forces this year.
This victory merger" combined the
seven technical services of the Army
the Quartermaster Corps, Ordnance De-
partment, Corps of Engineers, Signal
Corps, Chemical Warfare Service, the
Surgeon Generals ONCE and Medical
Corps and the Transportation Corps
To these were added the following
administrative organizations: Judge Ad-
vocate General, the War Departments
lawyer; the Provost Marshal General,
the departments chief of police; the
Adjutant General, or ONCE manager;
the Chief of Finance, the departments
treasurer; the Chief of Chaplains, the
Army's spiritual adviser; the Army Elk
change Service, which operates chain
of retail stores for personnel; the Spe-
cial Services, which directs the Army's
recreational activities; the Information
and Education Division, the Armys edu-
Gator and publisher, and all the plan
ming and management agencies.
The Army Services Forces also inher-
tied the nine service commands, each
embracing q distinct geographic area
within the United States, and the
Northwest Command. being the area OF
Alaska. Formerly called corps areas,
each of these commands has been re-
sponsible for housing and supplying
many times the number Of troops that
formerly constituted the entire peace
time Army.

each headed by major general, for

ton, finance, accounting, personnel,

plan in future years. Chairman Jen-

brushed aside at this time in the COM
mon desire to get the plans for the sta
dunn before the attention of the next
session of Congress.
At least two stadium bills have died
lingering deaths in recent years, the
last having been brought forward In
February, 1941, when the Budget Bureau
decided it did not meet with the finan-
cial plans of President Roosevelt "at
that time" Since then the smaller ex-
penditures for war preparedness have
given way to multiplied billions in COM
mitments for final victory.
The Planning Commission, itself, is
not in position to press the Budget
Bureau for immediate recognition of the
stadium project but rests its hope that
1t will be given serious and sympathetic
consideration by the budget and Con-
gress in providing for Washington's post

Planning Commission, the utilization
of this area provides these main
features:
1. The National Guard Armory (com-
pleted and now being used by the
Army. Intended also as an indoor

capacity of its 370x225-foot drill hall
being estimated at 10000 spectators.
2. The National Stadium, occupying
about 20 acres. Use intended for civic
affairs as we'll as national and inter-

proposed in the commissions plans,
$4,000 to possibly 10000 or 10000. fa

war program. On the commissions own
schedule of real needs, the stadium has
high priority.
The designed use of the 150-acre area
lends itself readily to national and in
ternational sports. The next date of
the Olympic games is scheduled for 1913
Oficials say it is not impossible to get
the great sports area ready for use by
that time provided Congress and the
budget give it the green light"
Inaugural Ceremonies
Both the Planning Commission and
the Board of Trade Committee foresee
occasions when it might be advisable
under bad weather conditions to hold
the presidential inaugural ceremonies
on the site. The National Guard Ar
mory could accommodate as many as

commands, functional stair divisions
were established
The accompanying chart describes the
structure of the Army Service Forces:
Involved in all these ASF activities
are leaders and representatives of every
science, art, technology, profession and
trade. Hardly any type Of work or prod
uct can be named which the Army Serv-
ice Forces does not perform or produce.
There are some which cannot be named
because they are unknown except to the
Army, such as new inventions, discov-
cries and developments surrounded by
the secrecy demanded by wartime Sc
curity.
Combined, all these activities sum up
the business Of fighting to victory-the
business Of raising, training and equip
ping an Army Of nearly 100000 men
and women. To provide modern weapons
for such an army, to feed it and clothe
it, and to provide it with all the supplies
and services that will keep 1t fighting
to victory in all parts of the world is
vast mission. Nothing before his ever
approached its completely of problems.
Vast Personnel
To do all this engages in the CONT
mental United States more than 1000 900
men and women-of whom about
100000 are military personnel, includ-
ing more than 10000 officers and $780,
600 are civilians. Overseas are more
than 100000, of whom virtually all are
military personnel.
These figures combine into approx
mately 20 per cent of the Army strength,
Of which Is per cent is overseas and IS
per cent In continental United States.

Planning Commission has blue
printed" great stadium or coliseum, as
one feature of a comprehensive program
Of recreational and civic usage.
Origin of Plan
The idea of a stadium for Washing
ton goes back, officially, to the earliest
years of the Planning Commission
(which was set up in 1926 as the
advisory agent of the Federal Gov
eminent to plan for the orderly de-
~velopment of the National Capital
'S Gradually the plan crystallized in the
impressive scheme for development of
East Capital street and its extension
to the Anacostia River. In late years
this plan has been pushed forward and
now 1t is proposed, as part of the
postwar program, to extend Constitu-
ton and Independence avenues on each
side, reserving space on East Capitol
street and in between for future Fed
'eral office construction.
~" No one realizes more than the Board
OF Trade and the Planning Commits
Sion that the development of this I50-
acre space as a national sports and
civic center must be confined to pro-
gressive stages. Yet the fact that the
Government already owns the land
and the District National Guard Armory
has been established there as the first
project are assurances that the time
may not be far distant when the entire
area will be in public use.
As revised in recent months by the
