At a round-table discussion at
the Pentagon, Brig. Gen. Thomas
Dunn, the Army's director of or
ganization and training, and his
chief aides explained that the
first experiments will be with
the platoon and then the COM
pany, regiment and division in
that order. The first War-game
test of the complete unit prob
ably will not be held until next
year.
Col. John C. Hayden, deputy
to Gen. Dunn, emphasized that
many changes are likely to be
made before the new organiZa-
ton is adopted officially.
Remember, we tested the tri-
angular division for two years
before we decided to scrap the

The square division was COM

tailed $4,000 men at full strength.
The triangular division had three

The Army planners do not
have much to say about the
reported Soviet lead in reorgani-
cation for atomic warfare. But
Col. Roy E. Moore, G-3 training
chief, had this word on the
United States Army:
EFT has only been in the last
couple of years that we have
seen what we think an atomic
battlefield will look like"

2Men Shot 10 Death
In Duel After Party

Two men were shot to death
last night as they fought in a
Twelfth street NV. living room.
Police said they were the ex-
boy friend and the new boy
friend of a woman who lives in
the 1900 block of Twelfth street
NV, where they were shot.
Police said James Harris, AZ,
the new friend, and Kyle j.
Brown, 40, the old friend, stayed
after the party adjourned at
the woman's residence. They
argued, and Harris pulled out a
pistol, according to police.
Harris shot Brown three times
in the chest, and was himself
shot in the abdomen and leg

do so, the unit which operates

The So-called pocket division

named the new unit-waS die
tated by the advent Of mass de-
Struction weapons. A fighting
force, to survive and gain VIC
tory today must be able to dis
perse rapidly in the face of an
enemy atomic attack and to re-
group as quickly in order to
strike with sufficient retaliatory
power. Massed forces offer too
tempting a target for atomic
weapons, a truism the SovietS
fully understand.
Mobility Is Vital.
Key to swift dispersal or con-
centration is mobility, a word
which has dominated the Army's
thinking under the aggressive
leadership of Gen. Ridgway and
his daring young operations man,
the 47-year-old Maj. Gen. James
M. Gavin. wartime commander
of the 82d Airborne.
But whether the Army is pres

are few and far between, is de-
batable. 1t is a fact. however,
that improvement of tank and

Gen. Ridgway, the Chief of
Staff, has explained the need for
the change as follows:
ITO be militarily sound,
organization must be geared to
tactics, and tactics must permit
exploitation of weapons capabili-
ties. Thus, significant changes in
weapons capabilities are certain
to require changes in tactics and

steps to insure closer cooperation
with the county government. We
believe an investigation should be

Public Relations: We believe
the town government should take

better public relations with the

UnificatiOn of Rockville: AS
Rockville's population has in
creased and the town has spread
out, there has been a tendency
in the various areas to form
separate fields of those areas
rather than as citizens working
for the good of Rockville. 1t is
our belief that effort should be
made to unity citizen interest in
the town. We feel that Rockville
should be known as one town and
that division of interests between
the old and new should be elimin-

age this by constantly urging re-

Mayor and Council DivisiOnD !:
The Mayor will assign certain
civic responsibilities to the four
council members. For example,
one councilman would be appoint
ed as specialist for water sup
ply. 1t would be the duty of this
member to be informed on the
towns needs as well as to be in
formed on progress in other COM
munities with similar problems.
Other fields to be covered would
include sewage; recreation; taxes;
legislation under consideration
by, or to be introduced to, the
General Assembly. In this way,
when citizen questions are tossed
in the lap of the Mayor and Coun-
Gil up-to-date information will be
available.
Citizen Committees: Council
members specializing in specific
fields of civic improvement will
set up citizen committees for the
purpose of comforting with them

ged did break a record. 1t weigh
ed 511 pounds and was the larg-
est killed in that part of the coun-
try since 1904. They got another
tiger and three leopards. Their
trip, which they say was even
beyond their expectations, took
them to Paris, Athens, Cyprus,
Lebanon, Baghdad and Pakistan.
They spent nearly two months in
India, touring the country COM
pletely. They covered 10000 miles
here alone. They went on to Cey-
Ion, Thialand, and the most in
teresting city of Cambodia in
French Indo-China. Here they
visited the ruins of Ankor Wat.
From there their itinerary took
them to Singapore, Australia, and
New Zealand. They got some
&ling in at the famed Bay of
Islands. This is the place Zane
Gray fished and mentioned in
his novels, you know. The South
Sea Islands were next - Figi,
Samoa. The one disappointment
in the trip was that the accident
prevented their visiting famed
Tahiti. AS soon as the SCOTS
movies are edited, they plan to
