Overwork Sends
Official to Hospital

Victor T. Givotovsky. deputy
director Of the District Depart
ment Of Buildings and Grounds
and acting head of the agency
since the death of Archie G. Hut
son, was sent to Georgetown Hos
pital yesterday, suffering from
fatigue and overwork.
This was announced by Brig,
Gen. Thomas A. Lane, Engineer
Commissioner, who said the
Commissioners have named Col
Thaddeus M. Nosek, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner, as act
ing director of the department.
General Lane said Col. Nosek
will serve as acting director even
after Mr.. Givotovsky returns to
work. while the general continues
his search for a successor to Mr.
HutSon.
Last week, Gen. Lane offered
the $12,000-a-year post to a

The division takes 1t name
from the famed l01st Of World
War II which had a memorable
record in Europe.
Its major weapon is the
"Honest John" rocket which can

division also has various other
atomic weapons equipped for
use against nearby as well as
distant targets.

boEne divisions, 1t not only will
have much greater mobility and
much tighter control Of all ele-
ments but considerably greater
firepower than the larger organ
ization.
This means that other air.
borne units of the Army eventu-
ally will fall into the same pat
tern as the ground forces move
to lightnesS, tightness and great
mobility.
Up to now the Army has kept
its atomic weapons, such as the
Honest John, in special units be-
longing to Army corps or field
armies. Putting them under
division control indicates the
thoroughness with which atomic
capabilities are being adopted as
normal and diffused among
smaller field units.
Not only does the 1O1st have
one-third fewer men, but its
equipment includes newer and
much lighter devices of recent
development.
Hence the division can be
transported by half as many
airplanes as needed by today's
standards.
Eventually the airplane equip
ment will include vertical take
off types permitting much faster
landings and departures. This
means shorter exposures to
counter attacks.
Hit-and-Run Tactics
The new division will not be
used in the conventional con-
cepts Of warfare where the para
troopers establish an advance

until support forces arrive.
