And dont you call me a modernized, motorized, flexible, and specialized; and what I tour of saw in my recent 6,000-mil- e U. S. army posts indicates that the stress on Infantry cannot be minimized without injuring an armys force. The old familiar pattern of infantry is simple: a closed column of troops shouldering rifles and marching behind the commander, with a few horse-draw- n guns and supply wagons bringing up the rear. But today a mere list of units and specialists in a typical U. S. infantry division would fill a newspaper column. A catalog of division equipment would fill another columa And that does not take into consideration that in actual combat the infantry with the air force, the armored force, and other specialized units. Three Combat Teams. After studies and field tests, U. S. Infantry officers ordained the new-typ- e division, divided triangular into three combat teams. Each team consists of an infantry regiment supported by its own artillery, engineer, medical,, ordnance, The and communications units. combat teams function independently or in concert. At Fort Sam Houston, Texas, I witnessed alongside high officers of the army, a review of the famous Second division whose field work since 1937 provided the war department with data on which to base the pattern of a triangular division. Tanned and toughened by outdoor life, the divisions 13,500 men and 560 officers marched and rode before Gen. John J. Pershing and Gen. H. J. Brees, commander of the Third army, with 1,300 trucks, 267 trailers, 173 motorcycles, 16 scout cars, besides 36 howitzers, 12 howitzers, eight anti-tan- k guns, and numerous mortars. The full division carried 7,199 pistols,- 6,942 rifles, 375 Browning automatics, 35 submachine guns, 292 light and heavy ma chine guns, etc. This fighting Second, which won more decorations than any other American division in World War L is now the model for other triangular divisions. 2,600 Motor Vehicles, But the U. S. Infantry has already gone beyond the triangular division described above. At Fort Benning, Ga., Gen. Lloyd R. Fredendall commands the streamlined, motorized triangular Fourth division, which sets a new high for infantry firepower and mobility. The Fourth rolls on rubber, and in field maneuvers it covers 200 to 300 miles per day In 2,600 motor vehicles of all kinds, giving this fighting force the greatest speed, mobility, and of any infantry division in existence; and by virtue of this fact it is like the new First armored division, the model around which other divisions are being patterned. Field tests show that a motorized infantry division arrives at a frontline position much fresher than 105-m- m 155-m- m er - er fire-pow- er Exposed Defect Let a defect, which is possibly out small, appear undisguised.

K'K?) is the " lecret of our modernized army's tremendous Perfect striking power. Despite the rapid development of aviation and tanks, the infantryman is still the backbone of the army. Motorized, and armed with the Garand rifle, he is far more potent than ever before. troops who have marched for miles, and they can, therefore, hold tenaciously to gains made by the armored forces. view In order to get a birds-ey- e of how a motorized division rolls on rubber, I flew over a bit of terrain near Fort Benning in an army three-plac- e observation plane piloted by Lieut. J. D. Motyl, of the Ninety-sevent- h observation squadrapid-advanci- ron. Sitting on a parachute, in the rear gunners seat, and facing the plane rudder, with my back to the pilot, we flew over patches of Georgias red earth and green forest to a point about 30 miles from Benning where Pilot Motyl called my attention to what seemed An endless column of trucks, motorcycles, reconnaissance cars, command cars, armored cars, and guns all motorized, all rolling on rubber. This particular combat team of the Fourth division stretched for 50 miles along a sinuous highway; hence, in closed single column, a full division of motorized infantry would occupy about 150 miles of roadway. The average daily gasoline consumption tor such a force on a march is about 50,000 gallons. The infantry also receives support from all types of aircraft, and if necessary, from the chemical warfare service. Use Parachute Troops. The newest addition to the U. S. Infantry is a rapidly expanding parand achute force of highly-traine- d resourceful blitzers who can unlimber a machine gun or mortar in a trice and who can barrass an enemy behind the lines. At Fort Sam Houston I watched the armys interesting experiments with air transports for rapid transit of guns and troops. In less than 10 minutes, a dozen men anti-tan- k loaded a gun, weighing more than 900 pounds, and necessary ammunition. In a matter of weeks, sufficient compact but bantam cars, will be available for all infantry divisions.

Modern developments in the field of radio transmission have made it possible to devise an automatic weather station capable of unattended operation for periods up to one month and possibly three months in the future at iso- lated locations, such as mountains and islands, according to the U. S. department of commerce. The aerological division of the bureau of aeronautics, navy department, pioneered in this field. To meet the requirements of the navy aerologists, the national bureau of of comstandards, department merce, developed an ingenious but simple transmitting apparatus for use in such stations. An automatic weather station may be equipped to make and transmit measurements of barometric pressure, ambient temperature and relative humidity, wind velocity and direction, rainfall, and probably other factora.

The standard weapons of a U. S. infantry division give it the best in the world topotential day. The Springfield rifle, which in past battles gave a good account of Itself, is rapidly yielding to the superior Garand rifle whose firepower surpasses that of any similar weapon in Europe today. Trained soldiers fire up to 35 rounds per minute as against 15 rounds with the DEBATE FREEZING AXIS FUNDS One of the most vigorous inner cabinet debates in a long time concerned the question of freezing German-Italia- n funds on deposit in the United States. In a heated discussion, Secretary of State Hull and Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones were the only cabinet members who stood out for letting the two Axis powers continue to spend money as they wished in this country. Many people may not realize it, but whereas the government has frozen the funds of all the conquered if you can hold They climb steep slopes, leap fire-pow- er Springfield. Another U.

The Browning machine gun delivers up to 430 rounds per minute. All in all, there are, besides the rifle and pistol, 11 different medium and small fire weapons in the U. S. infantrymans arsenal, and individually, or together, they give unsurpassed r. Ancient Disease Still Threatens Men , Livestock CHICAGO. The same disease which killed the cave man, and which prompted Moses to lay down the first known laws on meat inspection, is still a serious threat to both animals and man, and a cause of severe losses to livestock producers on American farms today. This disease anthrax is one of the oldest germ-born- e plagues in existence. The cave man contracted it from the skins of animals which he wore for clothing. It devastated livestock herds in the Holy Land more than 2,000 years ago. For centuries it has taken Its toll of livestock, ranging from reindeer In Siberia to sheep and cattle In South Africa. Live Many Years. The germs of anthrax are very large compared to other bacteria. In the blood of animals and man they exist in the vegetative form shaped single germs with square ends. Outside the body or after death, the germs form long chains with a central spore. In this form, hardy anthrax bacteria live for years in contaminated soil. Livestock generally contract the disease from infected soil, from sew age of tanneries, or from the bites of flies that have bitten anthrax sick animals. Man ordinarily becomes infected through skinning animals dead of the disease or from handling hides. Human anthrax usually shows up as a malignant carbuncle or huge black bolL The germs may migrate through the blood and lymph streams and produce systemic blood poisoning or "septicemia. Luckily, most cases can be saved if diag nosed early. In America there are a number of severe anthrax infection areas, where farmers and veterinarians are making a valiant fight to overcome the disease and to protect livestock and man from its ravages. According to a survey by the American Foundation for Animal Health, these areas extend from the Mississippi delta country to the Dakotas, and from California to the Southeastern Atlantic states. Nor is the disease confined to these sections alone Like all serious plagues, it sometimes appears unexpectedly in areas far removed from its source.

For instance, Germany gets more than a million dollars monthly from the lease of patents to American companies. This is paid in American dollars and can be spent for propaganda or anything else, or shipped back to Germany. Italian diplomatic attaches, for instance, were found carrying $2,000,000 In U. S. currency in a suitcase from New Orleans to Mexico for propaganda purposes. Another $2,000,000 of U. S. currency was shipped to Buenos Aires by the Italian embassy. Meanwhile, France, for example, no longer sells perfume, etc., to the United States, but sells to Germany, which in turn ships the perfume through Vladivostok to the United States. Reason is that French funds are frozen, so the French can get no money from the U. S. A. But German funds are not frozen, so French .trade to the United States now increases Nazi profits and helps build up trade channels for the future.
