AGAINST Indian Armv

BY the >SoClated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 26.-L. NJ. S
Amery, secretary of state for India
today described as "libels' state
mentS that the Indian Army was "a
purely mercenary one and that its
quality and morale we're low.
At a press conference Mr.. Amery
attributed publicati of these state
ments to the Washington Columnist
Drew Pearson, apparently for pur-
poses connected with electioneering
maneuvers in his own country"
These hbels have been repro
duced as quotations from letter
alleged to have been written by Mr..
William, Phillips, at one time the
Presidents representative in Delhi.
or quoted in letter as remarks
alleged to have been made by Gen.
StllWell, Mr.. Amery said.
What is regrettable and. indeed
ScandalouS, is that these remarks
should have been eXhumed or in
vented in part for purposes of
prejudlcing a great effort made by
the British Empire and by India in
particular.
He asserted Gen Stilwell himself
knew how much was owed to the
indian Army in the campaign
against Japan and said the attacks
could safely be left to the judgment
of British and American. Italian
and German troops which had met
the Indians in the field.

Many of the new rocket bombs
were already wired for exploding
but the Germans--part of the crack
Adolf Hitler division-left so hur-
rledly their plans to use them could
not be carried out.
The range of the new rockets is
calculated to be about 5000 yards.
They are inaccurate but have enor-
nous destructive power from shock
waves
Rapidly pushing American tanks
are now encountering for the first
time the big Gretchen, new Ger
man bazooka with four pounds of
INT in its head 1t can be fired
only once but is extremely effective
II 1t scores a direct hit.
1t is usually aimed from about
100 yards to hit the tank directly
over the driver 1t penetrates about
three inches Of armor plate. The
projectile rarely goes through. but
the tanks are set afire by the blast
effect. 1t is much more effective
than little Gretchen, more like the
United States bazooka, which can
be fired many times.
German paratroops also are using
an 88-mm. bazooka which is towed
like a small cannon. 1t is effective
from hedgerows at about 275 yards.
The new weapons are having lit
tie effect on the advance of Ameri-
can tanks although the roads are
blocked by felled trees and defended
by antitank guns All along the
way, the roadsides are strewn with
German tanks and the bodies of
enemy dead, most of them .shoeless

WITH A u United STA e S
ARMORED DIVISION IN FRANCE,
Aug. II tDelayedD A new German
rocket projectile. little sister to
the buzz bombs and big sister to
the screaming meeny, was found
piled like cordWood in a mile-square
chestnut forest overrun by this di-
vision.
The new weapon looks like an air
bomb with a stove pipe attached to
a 32O-mm. projectile. All this is
enclosed in steel frame. from
which it is fired by an electrical at
tachment from a distance after it
is placed at the proper elevation.
1t weights about 200 pounds, with
125 pounds of INT. and stands
about four feet high. Although pre-
vlously described in ordnance re-
ports. its actual use to date is un-
certain, and this is by far the larg-
est supply ever found.
More easily manufactured and less
expensive than the big bombs 1t may
have been intended as a substitu-
ton for them in short range opera
tions.
The forest also contained vast
stores of small arms and light and
heavy artillery ammunition piled
high among the trees.
