man military analyst. speaking
over radio Berlin, told his lis
teners: "The enemy has only
one OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES fully
understands the principles OF
modern war. He understands mo-
bility."
Whether the Germans were
right on either point is open to
question. But those two observa-
tions keep coming back to mind
over and over, in looking at the
new American armament pro-
gram. Even in the most widely
diversified plants, regardless OF
the article or weapon being pro-
duced, you find the same motif
more speed, more mobility, more
hitting power.
These trademarks are best ex-
pressed in the new tanks.
A Cotton Monster.
Even in World War II, the
best" tank, presumably was the
biggest and most heavily armored
The Germans developed a Cotton
monster, the Tiger, and an Amer

ing machine ever produced by our
allies or our enemies"
Which would indicate the engi-
neers have solved those problems
of the competing ratios between
speed, weight, heat, gas consump-
tion and durability on the road,
or over the fields.
Meanwhile, the Army has taken
the wraps off a typical new, tank,
the Walker Bulldog" which is
small, fast and lethal. 1t weighs
less than 26 tons, can wind up to
40 miles an hour, has an auto
matte torque transmission, and
gyroscopic sights that keep the
gun on the targets, however the
the hull may be bouncing around.
1t is small, but the Army says it
can handle the bigger Russian
T-34, medium that has given
American tanks bad time in
Korea.
Emphasis on Mobility.
The emphasis on mobility goes
right down the line, applying to
practically everything on wheels in
the new Army. Earlier in this
series, mentioned the combat
vehicles with waterproofed wiring
and "breathers'' that permit them
to run while completely under
water.
A blown bridge. provided the
river isn't too deep, won't stop
those vehicles.
The same trademark appeared
again in an unusual place-a
leather good plant in Des Moines.
Through three wars, the Boyt
Corp. has been making packs for
the infantry. pistol holsters. sad
dlebags, artillery harness and gun
covers. The firm still is filling
such orders.
But something new has been
added, Walter Boyt said. His
craftsmen are working on a huge
contract for containers for freight
parachutes. capable of carrying
5000 pounds.
What does it mean? It illus
trates the increased importance
OF the airdrop. Freight carriers
of that size would be needed to
supply by a air a unit far out
ahead of its own lines, isolated
and perhaps totally surrounded.
The tricks of that technique were
under study in the last war. They
are being developed in Korea to-
day.
Positional Warfare Waning.
Most probably we are seeing the
end of positional warfare, the
solid line of infantry, stretching
unbroken across hundreds of miles
Of front, and supplied by road
transport.
Modern tactics call for cutting
large units away from the main
force. units of infantry, artillery
and tanks strong enough to "sit
down" anywhere in enemy terri
tory, chop up communications and
supply areas, then shoot their
way out when the job is done.
Such task forces will be sup
piled by air. and they will need
the tanks and transport to move
faster, and more dependably, than
an enemy could maneuver.
| A few months ago in Korea
an American officer remarked:
American soldiers don't like to
walk. But put wheels under 'em
and they'll attack anything"
In today's rearmament. there
are more wheels, designed to go
faster and carry more hitting
power. than anything the world
has ever seen.

Stalin) III, reported to be So tons
None has been seen in Korea
Why don't we build one that
big? The answer is: We did
even before Pearl Harbor, but we
have better ones coming up now
Apart from size and weight
American engineers today are
concentrating on some other
qualities. namely:
l. Speed and the ability to
wrestle the roughest terrain.
2. Hitting power, more de-
structive gun with a more pene-
trating shell.
3. Road performance and cruis-
ing range per gallon of fuel. The
late Gen. Patton claimed that if
his famous 4th Armored Division
had been equipped with German
Tigers, every one would have
broken down on the road before
the division ever reached the
Moselle. AS for cruising, some
Tigers could keep moving only two
and one-half hours on a full load
of gas.
Specifications Secret.
The specifications of the big
gest American tanks are not yet
Ipublishable data. But Brig. Gen
D. j. Crawford, commanding Off
Ger of the Detroit arsenal, put it
this way in commenting on a new
contract to the ChrySler Corp:

know half as much as his employer Mr.
Broadlooms had said that he might do both,
but he deplored the fact that Amos had come
from New York in the very recent past and
moreover liked to visit there for what he, Mr.
Broadloomis, confidently believed to be hila-
rious evenings with friends who did not count
for that in the world of art
Amos was deploring it, too, under the
grinding buzz of dull headache, when he saw
the little farmhouse just ahead. 1t was a
spotless white, and looked as if no dust speck
had been tolerated for hundred years. If he
had not been crawling along, he might have
missed three colorful paintings displayed in
the big bay window.
Amos slowed, then stopped and peered. They
were largish paintings, framed gaudily, and by
no means abstract. American primitive. Not
too bad, he decided. But how good? Beyond
this Amos could not go without the counsel of
Mr. Broadloomis.
Three months do not make an art dealer
But plainly these paintings were matter of
pride to the artist. Such ostentatious display
of work we'll done was not a New England
trait, Amos thought, but this gave rise to
stronger feeling. If the artist needed to have
his work seen, then Amos was just the one to
help. Really duty. MIR. Broadloomis would
say.
Yes, American primitive, perhaps not as
good as Grandma Moses, but - Amos hesi-
tated second time and cooked his head.
One was farm scene, barnyard with live
stock under lowering sky. The second
showed two hunters in vast expanse of
snow-oovered hillside under more than hint
of an expiring morning moon. Third was the
inevitable: green sea with upthrust rock on
which the lighthouse stood, boldly resisting
the elements
Amos deserted the convertible, forgetting
the emblem with which the fagnan had
entrusted him. He approached the door and
whirled the capped bell till it made gentle,
muffled sound.
A lovely young woman answered, and he
knew then that he'd expected little old lady,
neat as pin, peering over spectacles anxious

daylight and was one of


few motorists on this stretch of Massachusetts,
road, Amos Grenfeather was unhurried. When
he saw the young fellow with the white flag,
standing before detour sign, as if unsure
this yellow convertible would stop, Amos
dutifully applied the brake and came to
calm and quiet halt.
The young man seemed almost surprised at
his power, and cleared his throat. Take this
flag" he said, 'and when you get to the end
of the detour give it to the man there to show
you're the last car from this end until get
the flag back. That way he can start the
cars from the other end"
If you want the truth, this family puzzled
Amos, although he thought he knew what the
young man meant. 'Okay," he said, deter
mined to play ball. But how do you know
I'm the last CARP
Amos quick stop had given the young
fellow confidence. All he needed was dumb
question like this to make him over confident.
Because" he answered firmly, Il said you
were. Beginning at eight o'clock give this
flag to whatever car is nearest me at twenty
minutes after, and you are up First car
seen this morning, matter of fact"
Very well" said Amos, gavely taking the
furled white flag. Il will carry the pennant" :"
Just take it easy" said his mentor Don't
hit more than twenty-five because there's
dust The houses don't like dust And don't
forget to give up the flag"
Amos waved his thanks Turning off, the
Car dropped into dust indeed, light and vola-
tile as talcum powder, but not so pleasant to
the nostrils. Amos complied with instruc-
tions. He dropped to twenty miles, fifteen.
Being fair man, he was glad nobody was in
the rear.
Perhaps fairness was the result of mid
week visit to New York and away from the
sometimes too quiet confines of the establish
ment of Arthur Broadloomis, dealer in art,
Boston. Amos loved art and he loved Boston
and vaguely hoped one day to own Arthur

But she - WE'LL she had green eyes and red

opportunity.

In the kitchen, helping to wrap the paint
ing with brown paper and strong cord, the
recollection of the flag. suddenly disturbed
Amos blissful contemplation of his luck
There flashed to his mind picture of all
those cars. each with an impatient driver, at
the detours far end. awaiting his flag! Then
he hurriedly blotted it out as he picked up
the painting.

possession but tucked against his heart This

RETURNING the wave he got from the front
porch. Amos forgot the location of the starter
button. When he found that, he forgot the
dust, and it swirled around him. But he did
not forget the limit of the detour. First on
his mind was the necessity of getting to his
employer, who lived in Cambridge. BY all
means, he must phone at the next pay station
to advise Arthur Broadloomis not to leave
his apartment An art treasure was arriving,
or anyhow the work of beautiful tapering

there was more where this came from.

around in evident anger and Illustration. The
sight filled Amos with sudden panic. Pressing
his foot to the floor, he raced by the aston
ished throng, enshrouding cars and drivers
in dust. Eyes held grimly ahead. Amos and
the yellow convertible sped down the road
with the unyelded white flag.
At the first service station displaying a
telephone sign he wheeled in close clutching
