GREEN TJ. 8. COMMANDERS BLAMED FOR SETBACK Those in the know inside the Pentagon Pen-tagon building say that if there la ever a thorough army probe it will show that U. S. intelligence feO down even more badly than former Chief of Staff Gen. Peyton March Indicated regarding advance preparations prepa-rations for the German breakthrough. break-through. Even American news dispatches dis-patches told of German activity behind be-hind the lines and lights burning at night. Military experts also say, however, how-ever, that other factors contributed to the serious setback, one of them being failure to have experienced colonels and lieutenant-colonels at field commanders. They trace this back to a ruling by the late General Gen-eral McNair, commander of the ground forces, that no colonel over 48 could serve In combat overseas. This meant that many of the regular regu-lar army, national guard and reserve re-serve officers who bad been under fire In the last war, trained their men In the United States, went with them to the port of embarkation, then were left behind at desk Jobs in the U.S.A. Youngsters, who were only lieutenants or captains in 1941. took their places. These youngsters had all the courage and vigor In the world, but they lacked one thing so ail-important in battle experience under fire. 196TH DIVISION CAVED FIRST Military experts point out that the division reported to have caved In first when the Germans counter-attacked was the 106th. It had Just gone into the line and not one hostile shot had ever been fired over its head. This division gave way likf straws before a tornado. If a committee ef congress should ever take the trouble to leek ap the officers ef the lMth division it will find that Just before be-fore It sailed ail Its elder field officers were removed, and yeanger, bnt very green officers, pat la their places. Had the 196th division held for only a few hours It weald have made all the difference la the world to the rest of the army and to the length of the war. Military experts say somewhat the same thing happened at Kasserine pass and Salerno. At Kasserine pass, green field commanders Ignored Ig-nored the first rudiments of defense, namely that a halted regiment should dig In and prepare field fortifications forti-fications in enemy territory. MaJ. Gen. Lloyd Fredendall waa made the goat at Kasserine pass and transferred back to the U.S.A., just as MaJ. Gen. Ernest Dawley was made the goat at Salerno. However, How-ever, high-up officers, who have studied these battles, say the real fault was not theirs, but that all colonels of the 34th division which lost so heavily at Kasserine were replaced by green field commanders Just before the division saw action. To get the entire picture, it is necessary neces-sary to recall that after Pearl Harbor Har-bor the army collected the majors, lieutenant colonels and colonels from the regular . army, national guard and reserves who had battle training in World War I. calling many from civil life, and put them In charge of troop training. As a result re-sult the army had a sizable group of experienced field officers not easily stampeded. McNair Copies British. Then in June 1942. General McNair. Mc-Nair. commanding the ground forces and an A-l general in most respects, suddenly decided to copy the British. He found that British colonels were around- 43 years of age, so gave verbal orders that no American colonel over 48 could serve with combat troops. Army experts ssy that undoubtedly, undoubted-ly, some colonels and lieutenant-colonels lieutenant-colonels needed to be weeded out for physical or other reasons. The army has been too lax with its physically unfit during soft and easy years of pesce. However, they believe that General McNair swung far too far In the other direction. Fortunately a lot of the troops landing In Normandy were seasoned sea-soned ander fire la Italy. Gen. Mark Clark baa done a great Job there ef baptising troops. Others, sacks as General Patch's Seventh army were seasoned at Guadalcanal, .- but obviously there were not enough seasoned sea-soned troops to man the long front extending all the way from Holland to the Alps, and the Nasls kept probing one spot after another until they found the softest part of the front. Perhaps their Intelligence even knew that green commanders "had Just come into the line. - - CAPITAL CHAFF C One of the last acts of the 78th senste wes to cancel from the federal fed-eral government's list of assets, money borrowed by four southern cities In 1861.

Racing Isn't the only sport thai face the axe. There is sure to sweeping re- classiftcstion of aU 4-Fs not engaged directly di-rectly in war production. pro-duction. For example, ex-ample, there are 250 big league ball I players classified as 4-F who will be re-examined and should be. Also, there is s large number of professional profes-sional football players play-ers and college foot Grantland Rice ball players who win be reclassified And there is a strong chance that those who are passed up for active war duty will be called to some essential form of war help, apart from sport Bat there will stO bo football and ether forms ef eempetltlea at West Point a ad Annapolis aad hi aU schools beaming Navy V-ll trainees. Also, there will be seme sport left at these eellegea which can master enough 17-year-olds to earry oa, bet this leave a seaat snargnL the mala these 17-year-olds have been only flllera-ln, turning in good Job Just the same. The main blow will fall upon aO professional sport, the play-pay contingent This win be especially true If those who are still declared unfit for war duty are sent Into some form of war work. Just how this wUl affect professional profes-sional boxing and amateur basketball basket-ball remains to be seen. The rougher rough-er blast will hit professional baseball base-ball before it reaches pro footbaB, as the latter still has an interval of seven or eight months before an- 1 other season starts. But the base ball training Is scheduled to open within three months and that's on the shorter side. For How Long? How long win this last? Until tht war In Europe is won. How long will that be? Your guess probably is as good as that of any commanding general. Many of the latter haven't set any records at guessing correctly cor-rectly so far. We have had enough too much- hopeful wishing to keep on miking the same mistake. Of course, the pro footbaU and pro baiebaU play ers stin participating in their sports are only a minute part of 11,000,000 or 12,000,000 men In the armed serv ices. i It Isn't any one sport alone. It Is the massed front of so many sports that nse up gasoline, men needed for war work, travel accommodations, accommoda-tions, and so forth. And It Isn't easy to discriminate. Along the narrow path of sane reasoning, there seems little chance that the war In Europe will be ended by early summer, with the war against Japan closing at a much later date. This will make It difficult for any pre baseball league to opea In April er May. It wlU be a rough undertaking to make up leagues composed ef those under 1$ and those older than 36 or it. At this time high school sport should be encoursged In place of being cut down. The toughest part of the German army today is composed com-posed of those 11 to 14-year-old kids Hitler started training and building up 10 years ago. Oyer here we have paid far too little attention to the physical development of those In the same age brsckets. Qne-Fourth Lost We have been losing 29 per cent of our 18-year-old draftees for physical physi-cal ressons, while Germany, Norway, Nor-way, Sweden and other European countries have lost only 7 to 9 per cent To have 23,000 of every 100,000 18-year-olds unfit for military service serv-ice is a rough Indictment on the way we have handled this part of the Job. FootbaU, with more than seven months' leewsy, hss a better break than baseball has. But seven months msy not be long enough. Racing, which was planning to open a new season from California to Florida, via New Orleans, takes the hardest Jolt. Racing's losses wlU run far beyond be-yond the combined losses of football, foot-ball, baseball and all other banned or stifled sports put together. Vet, there will be plenty of sport hi 1945. but it won't be big-time, big-money sport. In an all-out, 100 per cent war, there can be no discrimination dis-crimination of any sort "' We' have already" found--out we f can't win with a SO per cent effort sgainst Germany and Japan. The public at large. Including every form of sport should get back of this 100 per cent effort with 100 per cent support until the war is won. You csn see how a man with one arm or one leg, or families with husbands and brothers now burled under , crosses, or without crosses. aU over the world, should begin to look with doubt upon fine-looking young athletes dashing from goal to goal or cL-cllng the bases la a uennant race.
