Patterson DepIores
Criticism Of Army
For Conduct Of War
BY the Assoeioted Press

WEST POINT, N. Y, June A.
Seer ktary of War Patterson to-
day eplored the criticism being
hear Id on the Army for its con-
duc1of World War II, but attrib-
uted it to another of the Ma
ton Chronic postwar periods
of cxnsure."
The War Department chief made
his comments in addressing the
graduating class of the Military
ACADEMY, and he told its members
to be proud they were now assum-
ing part in the leadership of the
Amer tan Army.
ThI& Army, he reminded them,
won / Africa, Europe and in the
Pacific, yet he noted sharp criti-
cism lof everything the Army did in
wagi4g war in the fashion of the
day, lmost of the criticism coming
fromk individuals who never served
and had no notion of serving.
Ed ars Unbalanced Judgments.
THIS form of sport will pass. But
unbalanced judgments will be formed
unless account also is taken of the
fact that the prime purpose of the
armed forces is to win without ex-
cessive loss of life.
Tn that purpose the Army won
a success without precedent in our
history, and this is proof enough of
the character of the military lead
ership. 1t could nat have succeeded
If there had been anything radically
wrong with our leadership, and I
mean the leadership supplied by
those in uniform
This leadership took account of
the dignity and decency of the indi-
vidual; he said. "Our Army goes far
beyond the practices of any other
army I'm this regard, and this will
be ctt1ceded by the most severe
sx-GI: critic who saw anything OF
foreign armies"
Dootlittle Report Praised.
He said mistakes had been made
By leadership and that there is room
for improvement in relationships
between commissioned and nom
commissioned personnel.
THE DooliCtle Board report is
thoughtful discussion of made
quacies and remedies. The sound
ness of most OF the recommended
measures will not be disputed by
Army command
The Secretary said he had not the
slightest fear that these recon-
mendations, such as elimination of
social determinations between ranks
and curtailment of saluting except
on posts, would lead to impairment
of discipline. The American soldier
has always had a wholesome respect
for authority based on competence"
he said.
875 Are Graduating.
Mr.. Patterson addressed 875 grad
dates-the largest graduating class
IN West Point history. After today's
ceremonies the graduates leave West
Point on 30-day leaves before en-
tering active service. ~.
Among the graduates are the sons
of 2 admirals and 81 generals, in
cluding Cadet George S. Patton, son
Of the late Gen. George S. Patton,
jr.: Cadet John P Doolittle, son of
1t. Gen. James H. Doolittle; Cadet
Albert D. Wedemeyer II, son of 1t.
Gen. A. C. Wedemeyer, and Cadet
Sam S. Walker, son OF 1t Gen.
Walton H. Walker.
A total of 68 members of the
graduating class plan to marry at
the Academy, with ceremonies be-
ginning tomorrow and continuing
through Sunday.

Richmond Plans Passing Game
To.Combut MoryIondps S Heft

Richmond Coach Johnny Fenlon
said the only consolation he gets
out of poring over statistics on the
University of Maryland football
team is that the future opponents
of the Spiders will not get any big
ger. The Spiders meet Maryland
tomorrow night at College Park.
How are you going to get by a
222-pound line and a 203-pound
backfield?" Fenlon asked, and then
supplied the answer. I'VE can't get
by it, so we're going to try and pass
over it and it's up to Joe Laluna
and Marion Timberlake.
In addition, Fenlon has Jack VIII
bourne, his number one all-around
back who bossed the Richmond T
attack before he and Fenlon joined
the armed forces. Wilbourne is
Fenlon'S choice as the best back he
has seen in a Richmond uniform.
He kicks, is the leading ball carrier,
a good defensive back and handles
some of the passing.
In speaking of a 222-pound line,
Fenlon is referring to the Tommy
Mont-bossed team that scored four
of the eight touchdowns last week
against Bainbridge and Is 300 pounds

Later in the afternoon, who should
come strollin' in but Dizzy Trout.
Diz pitched five innings against us
the day before and while he was
laughing and clowning out there,
he was pitchin' with all his finesse
and brilliance.
His main purpose for paying us a
visit was to give some of our pitchers
little advice about pitching to the
National Leaguers. Last year, Diz
did very well for himself and the
Tigers in the world series against
the Cubs.
He gave Tex Hughson and Dave
Ferriss few good pointers. I'd like
to tell you about 'em, but think
I'd be a sucker. After all, we want
to catch the Cards or Dodgers by
surprise and I don't want to give
away any of our secrets. If Leo
Durocher wishes to pop off about
his ball club in his column, that's his
business, but if he thinks I'm going
to give out any tips he'll find me a
tight-fingered typist.
Trout thinks that Hughson and
Ferriss could win the series by
splittin' the pitchin' for us. He
rates Tex and Dave far above any
thing the Dodgers or Cards have
