The Army yesterday reluc-
family removed the cloak of
secrecy 1t had draped over its
leaky raincoats and admitted
a SOof by the ouartermaster
Corps.
After more than a week Of
stalling and evasion, the Army
conceded TO a reporter that the
problem Of defective nylon
rain gear is more extensive
than it first reported and that
the blame belongs to quarter
master experts responsible for
drawing up the specifications.
The raincoat story came TO
light earlier this month when
the Army said that some Of its
1895 raincoats had developed
leaks in the shoulder due to
faulty construction" 1t noted
that specification changes were
sent to the IL manufacturers
involved as soon as the leak
age reports from the field had
been checked out. It said that
only about Is per cent Of the
total number ordered had been
delivered to the quartermaster
before the remedial action.
25% Of What?
The Army declined repeat
edly. however, to say Is per
cent of what. 1t claimed such
a figure would be too difficult
to get. Finally, persistent in
quiries brought the informa-
ton that 100000 coats out of
l,2s4,944 ordered to date were
delivered before the new speci-
flcations were transmitted
about IS per cent of the total
order.
In its reply to inquiries last
week, the Army alluded to
isolated instances" of leakages
and the negligible scope" of
the problem. Actual shoulder
leakage has been reported in
only a few hundred of these
raincoats," it said.

ter's ONCE said that 1t took q
sample survey at 20 major
Army installations and that
1855 Of the coats had been
returned for waterproofing out
Of 10000 In use.
The lightweight coats. res
quired for officers as of April, I
and issued free to enlisted men;
probably have not had q great
deal of usage as yet. except at
tropical stations.
Army Report
Here's the Army's descrip-
ton of the trouble it found:
Investigation into the cause
Of the leakage determined that
the method used in setting the
sleeve in the coat resulted in
needle holes enlarging when
pressure on the sleeves pulls
against the stitching. The
plastic nature Of nylon pre-
vented the enlarged needle
holes from closing when the
pressure was relieved"
Army information officers
said that the defects were not
the fault of the manufacturers,
but were the result of appar-
emily inadequate original spec
ifications given them by the
Quartermaster Corps.
For whatever solace may be
found in it, the quartermaster's
office repeated its offer to those
officers who bought leaky coats:
Bring them in and they will
be made water-tight with ad-
hesive tape and. a sealant at
no charge.

Jeanne was a co-winner in

Her award marks the fourth
successive year that this section
has been won by a student Of
Mrs. Jesse L. Maury, a chem

last fall for having three win
ners in a row." Mrs. Maury

going to do now-probably
throw me out of the society"
The gymnasium, jammed with
the exhibits, had almost q
carnival atmosphere yesterday
afternoon. The steady parade
of visitors could buy hot dogs
and soda pop; they could also
push buttons or otherwise acti-
waite a number of the displays.
Some of the more intriguing
ones had such titles as Chem
istry in Cosmetics" Tic Tao
Toe Machine" "Know Your
Antacids," IAN Application OF
the Monte Carlo Method"
Transformation Of Sound into
Light and Back to Sound" and
Multiple Ballistic Bomhard-

Judges Impressed
The judges were particularly
impressed this year with the
high quality of the displays OF
seventh graders, according to
the fairs general chairman,
DR.. Berenice Lamberton, a
science teacher at Paul Junior
High School. This is probably
due in part to the new honors
program in District junior high
schools, she said.
