Generals and Umpires
Study Lessons Gained
In Parachute Tests
By fhe Associated Press

CAMP DRUM, N. Y, Feb. TO-
Generals and umpires met today
to review lessons learned in an un-
precedented, double -barreIed ma
neuver highlighted. by battlefield
use of simulated atomic weapons
and mass jumps Of airborne troops
under Arctic conditions.
AS basis for the critique there
was a huge file Of data and maps
and personal observations of "Ex-
ercise Snowfall" For a week, 3d.
1000 combat soldiers and support
ing forces fought a mock war over
1,500 square miles, using tech
niques and weapons never before
employed under similar conditions
s, Air Drops Feasible. -
The six-week exercise had made
lit plain 1t was feasible to drop
thousands of fighting men and
weapons onto a battleline or be-
hind it, in sub-zero cold and snow
and keep them fighting through
aerial re-supply.
This, of course, presumes that
air superiority is maintained. The
answer on ability Of troops to
keep fighting after atomic attack
was not as easy mainly because
the situation was hypothetical.
Among the tangible factors was
the rate of nen-battle casualties
In big, airborne : operations In
frigid temperatures. Experts
learned the accident rate was di-
rectly- related to the cold. The
lower the temperature the greater
was the number of accidents.
Announce Casualties.
Oficials made available figures
on casualties, both from Jumps
and other causes, in Exercise
Snowfall. They showed:
During exercise, 6,329 men para
chuted, of whom three were
killed and ga injured enough for
hospitalization-an accident rate
of 1.06 per cent. Non-battle cas-
ualties are important in combat
because of the effect on the fight
ing capability of a unit after land
ling.
In the non-jump category, there
we're six killed and 100 injured. ~

committee will start certifying un-

The Labor Department, it was

a list of 18 areas having the worst

recent order.

These areas stretch from De-
ltroit, with an estimated 1875, 900
ljobless. to New England, where
many textile mills have shut down.
Mr.. Fleming said the commit
tee will meet again next Thursday
afternoon to study the critical
areas list. He said a decision is
likely to be reached then to cer-
fifty at least one area, maybe more.
to the Defense Department. That
would mean defense procurement
officials would be compelled to give
the chosen areas special consider
alton in making war contracts.
| Southerners Opposed.
The order ran into a storm OF
opposition from Southern SEN
ators and Representatives last
week. They said it might result
in the South getting bypassed IN
some defense work, particularly
textiles.
Mr.. Flemming said the plan is
not intended to solve the Nations S
unemployment but rather to make
maximum use of skilled but job
less manpower and plant capac-
ity, and at the same time ease
local conditions.
