FIRST ARMY WILL
TRAIN AT JACKSON

WASHINGTON, May 26.-P)-
The War department drew a close
veil of secrecy today over its plans
for training and equipping the vet
eran First Army at Fort Jackson.
S. C. for battle service in the Far
East.
Yesterdays brief statement -
q Fort Jackson will be the base for
retraining the First Army for Pa
cific operations, the Army is now
returning from Europe - was al
lowed to stand WITHOUT elaboration.
Inquiries on what units would be
included in the new training pro-
gram, when they would begin ar
irving, and all similar questions,
met with the flat reply, nothing
further to add"
Meantime, Gen. Courtney H.
Hodges, who commanded the First
in it's march across France and
deep into the heart of Germany,
was in Washington for conference
with War department officials.
He was expected to make his
headquarters here temporarily be-
fore transferring them to the huge
South Carolina base where many
troops have been trained for this
war and where other thousands a
quarter century ago got their train
ing for the first World War. =,
Hodges flew to the capital after
being given a triumphal reception
in his home state of Georgia.
AS to the composition of his
Army, War department statements
indicated that on We day it was
composed of six infantry divisions,
the 9th, 18th, 69th, 10th, and 106th,
and three armored divisions, the
Third, 7th, and 9th.
Whether any of these units have
been detached to the 18th Army,
the Army of Occupation, has not
been disclosed, but the War de-
partment did say that Lieut.. Gen.
Leonard T. Gerow's Army would
be augmented by units from other
armies, at least for a time.

One of the first foreign observers
permitted to visit the Chinese Com
munists in six years was the Amer

and spent six months. His book
Report From Red China" Is a
factual account of what he saw.
The Eighth Route and New
Fourth armies together represent
something less than one-fifth the
total Chinese forces facing the Jap
anese, but these armies, says Mr..
Forman, engage nearly half the
japanese forces In China today, as
well as about 90 per cent of the
100000 Chinese puppet troops
fighting under the japanese. In sew
en- years of war the Chinese Red
Armies have fought over $4,000
battles and have killed and wound
ed well over a million japanese.
All OF this without receiving any
supplies from the Kuomintang gov
eminent. Their arms, ammunition.
their radio and telephone equip
ment have largely been won from
the enemy.
In occupied Central Hopei VII
layers have devised new kind of
fighting - tunnel warfare. Caves
under their homes are connected
by tunnel from house to house, and
even, In some instances, from VIII

japanese by night. Once the Japs
tried a Hollywood stunt to lay
siege to the tunnels in one district.
