 Team Up To Perform Supply Miracles
ARE PROBLEM

RAILWAYS ARE PROBLEM
 Le Havre is another astounding example of Engineer proficiency. The French said 1t would take years to put it back into use. Yet the Engineers now have it operat- ing as a major port again.
 The Engineers second big prob- lem was railways. Railroads had been the focal point of the Allies pre-Day-Day bombings. The better the bombers' job, the bigger the Engineer headaches. Every bit of skill and ingenuity had to be used to get the trains running. And ingenuity was used.
 At Cherbourg, for example, our bombers had closed one end of a short, vital tunnel. Engineers de- cided it would take days to clear the debris. So, instead, they back ed car full of explosives in the open end of the tunnel and set of the charge. There wasn't much tunnel left, but there was a fine open cut. Today, they have more than 1000 miles of railroad in op- eration-a job which has required the building of more than ITO major bridges.
 Just outside Metz there was cri- tical need for beams for a des- perately needed bridge. An En- gineer crew slipped over into the German lines and stole the neces- sary --beams. Another time the Engineers were faced with span ming a 100-foot rail gap. Someone remembered seeing an abandoned German railway gun mount back O. the line. The mount measured just 100 feet. So of went a crew to get it, cut off its wheels, and stick it upside down in the gap. It was perfect fit.

Paris, March 16.-The spectacular successes of American armies in pushing swiftly toward the Rhine date back to lessons learned by the Services of Supply since D-Day. The lions share of the credit must go to the Transportation Corps. No less important has been the valiant and efficient job done by the Engi- neerS in clearing demolished ports and keeping the railroads and high ways open.
 The now-famous Red Ball Highway was in itself a modern miracle in logistics. Born on August 25 of the tactical necessity of nov ing 100000 tons of supplies in one week from the beaches to Paris by road, the Red Ball made possible during its 81day existence the flow of 500,000 tons of material. More than 55,000 soldiers were riding this one-way express highway during it's peak periods, when as many as $500 trucks day were rolling across it. These trucks alone consumed 100000 gallons of gas daily.
 Maj. Gen. Frank s. Ross, chief of Transportation, Com z, lists three other accomplishments which he feels were as difficult as the Red Ball itself. First was the mount ing of the operation and the loading Of troops and supplies for the as- sault. The initial attack demand eG the slowing and combat load ing of more than 5 ships.
 DUCKS" WERE LIFE SAVERS
 Next he points to the unloading and moving of supplies across the beaches and demolished ports. On many days more than 25,000 tons of supplies moved across the two American beaches. Our amphib- ious ducks" were the life-sav- ing. if not-so-secret weapons of this operation. At Cherbourg alone, for example, in ike months operations ducks" unloaded over 188,367 tons of supplies.
 The Third Transportation Corps achievement for which General Ross gives his men a special pat on the back was the rail buildup. Sometimes this was accomplished in fairy-story fashion. On August | 10 General Patton told the Trans portation Corps that if he could get 3l trains of ammunition and gas- oline in IA days he could take Paris in two weeks. A railway
