 A light, but speedy backfield with considerable gridiron "savvy" start- ed for Taft in its first game against Crosby. It includes: Ted Herrlinger, a ITO pound senior from Troy, Ohio; a good ball carrier, par ticularly adept on spinner" plays. He is also an accomplished line plunger when short gains are needed for first downs. Sam Howe, l45 pound 'scatback' from Prince ton, NJ is the fastest of the quar- tette behind the forward wall; and is compared favorably by those who have seen him to be as fast as Jim- my Pickett, Crosby's track man, football back who gets from here to thers-with a minimum of ef- fort and loss of time. Kurt Mar schall, tall, TO pound boy can block and run making himself doubly useful in tho Taft backfield while Al Peters of West Orange, NJ is the No. { back used for passing, running and kicking the ball as oc- casion and opportunity demand. Marschall is Q Hillhouse High of New Haven boy, and, with Peters is new to Taft varsity football tfIs season.

Maj. Gen. Robert W. Douglas, soon were striking Two Jima and Chichi lima in the Bonins. Even before the capture of the Marianas was complete, airhelds were under con- struction on Saipan and Guam, from which Superfortresses could begin the strategic bombardment of the main Japanese island of Hon. shu. The first major strike was de- livered A November 1914.
 With the rapid increase in the size of the Pacific Ocean Command, 1t became necessary to consolidate the Central and South Pacific Army forces. On 1 August l944, Head quarters, U. s. Army Forces, Paci- fic Ocean Areas, was established under General Richardson's com- mand. Concurrently, two subordi- nate administrative commands, the Central Pacific Base Command and the South Pacific Base Command, were organized. All Army Air Forces in the area were placed under Head quarters, U. s. Army Air Forces in the Pacific Ocean Area, commanded oy the late It. Gen. Willard F. Har- mon, who came from the South Pacific Area. In addition, General Harmon was designated Deputy Commander of the Twentieth Air Force to represent General Arnold in the theater. General Harmon after a long record of splendid service was lost in a trans-Pacific flight, on 28 February, 1945. He was succeeded by It. Gen. Barney Mex. Giles who at the time of his ap- pointment was deputy commander and chief of staff of the Army Air Forces.
 Leyte Landing Date Advanced
 Toward the end of August Ad- miral Halsey's Third Fleet began 8 probing operation in the western Carolines and the Philippines. His carrier planes struck at Yap and the 'Palau islands on T and 8 Sep- tember and the next two days bombed Mindanao. On the morning of the 18th, Admr. Halsey struck the central Philippines and arrived at conclusion which stepped up the schedule by months.
 The OCTAGON conference was then in progress at Quebec. The Joint Chiefs of Staff received copy of a communication from Admiral Halsey to Admiral Nimitz on 13 September. He recommended that three projected intermediate opera tions against Tap, Mindanao, and Ta1aud and Sangihe Islands to the southward be cancelled, and that our forces attack Leyte in the cen tral Philippines as soon as possible. The same day Admiral NirniK of- fered to place Vice Admiral Theo- dore s. Wilkinson and the Sd Am- phibious Force which included the XXIV Army Corps, then loading in Hawaii for the Yap operation, at General MacArthur's disposal for an attack on Leyte. Gen. MacAr- thurs views were requested and 2 days later he advised us that he was already prepared to shift his plans to land on Leyte 20 October, instead of 20 December as previously in- tended. It was a remarkable ad- ministrative achievement.

today that during the period be- tween D-Day and VIE Day, 2,427,- 900 long tons of ammunition were received on the continent. Of this vast amount of ammunition, 1,245,- 900 long tons were used in the de- feat of the Germans.
 Approximately 100000 tons of this ammunition is at preesnt in 10 depots in France and Belgium. The rest is scattered in ammunition supply points, Army ammunition dumps, and with combat troops now serving in the occupation of Ger many.
 Present plans call for 130,0O0 tons of ammunition to be left in Europe 10000 tons for the army of occu- patton, 13,000 tons to be used in the occupation army's training program over a 12-month period and 47.000 tons in the 12-month training pro- gram for troops awaiting redeploy- ment. This amounts to 12 per cent of the total on hand.
 Army Ordnance estimates that only about two per cent of the total tonnage of ammunition ship ped to Europe will have to be sal. vaged as unserviceable because oi damage on the battlefield or dur ing the course of shipment.
 A new process for making truck and other Ordnance vehicles i'm mune to the corrosion caused by sea air has been put into use 1T Europe for the trans-shipment oi vehicles to the Pacific Theater.
 Large ramps have been built te accommodate the vehicles as they go through the various steps in ths process on a production-line basis The process begins with sstean cleaning and when the vehicles leave the final ramp they are ready to withstand the rigors of a long ocean voyage.
 The process Is like sealing 2 vehicle in a waterproof package and still leaving 1t mobile"
 The vehicles can be de-processeo abroad ship in only a fraction of the time required to process them and can be driven from the vessel under their own power.
