FDR ANNOUNCES
new i.RMY TANK

WASHINGTON Jan. 6. -P)-
President Roosevelt said today the
Army has developed a new tank
with gun more powerful than any
yet mounted on fast moving We
hicle.
Other than to comment that the
Army will need macy thousands Oh
these in 1945, the President gave
No details IN his annual message
10 Congress.
It is presumed, however, that
his reference is to the new heavy
tank recently mentioned by War
Production Board official. This Of
fetal reported early last month
that deliveries of the new models
from the Chrysler and Fisher ar
senals had started.
Harland G. Batcheller, WPB
chief Of operations, in discussing
trends in American tank design.
reported that a new method OF
suspension had been Incorporated
in late models. This apparently is
intended to smooth out the motion
Of the vehicle and improve the
accuracy of its fire while in mo-
ton.
While the caliber of the gun
mounted in the heavy tank was
not reported by Mr.. Roosevelt, the
Army's Ordnance Department has
used various calibers on medium
tanks, including IS millimeters;
the improved, high-velocity rs mil
1imeter gun; the 80 millimeter and
the 105 mi]limeter hoWitzer
Because of muzzle velocity char
acteristics and other features, the
80 millimeter gun has found parti-
cular favor with designers and gun
crews in the field.
1t is assumed the new tank men
toned b. the President is design
ed to match OF beat the improved
version OF the German Panther
and the Royal Tiger tanks in &C
ton on the Western Front.

Ground installations at Formosa,
from which the Japanese launched
their invasion of LuZon more than
three years ago, also took a heavy
pounding from the carrierplanes.
Eleven locomotives, four tank
cars, and several freight cars
were destroyed. A railway bridge
over the Tamsui river and a rail-

LABOR IS AGAINST
NATIONAL SERVICE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. - up -
Labor still is reluctant to support
or approve compulsory National
Service legislation, President Will
liam Green of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor said in a state
ment tonight.
His statement came shortly after
President Roosevelt asked Con-
gress in a message to pass Ma
tional Service Act at the earliest
possible mon; ent.
"We doubt the need for such leg
islation," Green said. I'VE fear
that it will create confusion. ad-
versely affect morale and hinder
the smooth functioning of the war
production program"
American industrial and agricul-
tural examinations have joined
with labor in opposing compulsory
service, Green said. because of
a deep conviction that it would
not be practical or helpful to the
war effort"
Passage by Congress OF COM
pulsory service laws could not in
crease the supply of manpow'er
nor promote the effective use of
the available workers. Green de-
clared.

toned, lit may result in decreas-
ed efficiency and lower individual
production"

would be better to seek methods
Of improving the utilization of
available manpower through vol
untary methods.

All the arguments pcint to a

THE answer to that is not conf
