40 Armored
Divisions Need
Of U.S. Army
With Army in the Field, Nov. 31
(if) The army needs at least 40
armored and motorized divisions
"If we are going to participate In
affairs overseas," a congressman-
colonel serving in the Carolina ma
neuvers said today.
Col. Charles I. Faddls, U. S. rep
resentative from Pennsylvania and
a member of the house military af
fairs committee, made the state
ment in an Interview as orders went
out for three such divisions to rip
again into the advancing first army.
It was the sixth and scheduled
to be the last day of a field exercise
pitting the IV army corps against
the first army. There will be an
other training battle next week.
"Eighteen months aio I proposed
that we create 10 armored divisions
like the first and second In these
maneuvers," said Col. Faddls, tem
porarily on the staff of MaJ. Gen.
Charles L. Scott, commander of the
first armored corps.
"Now we have four, with a fifth
to be formed and a sixth eontenv
plated. We ought to have 40 me
chanized or motorized divisions if
we are going to participate in af
fairs overseas.
"By June we'll be producing 1,000
tanks, more than enough to equip
two divisions, a month."
Official report from British
sources estimate the German army
has 30 panzer divisions, with
number of tanks in each than in the
U. S. divisions, but armored force
experts here believe the American
tank designs and armor better than
the best abroad.

A reader quite rightly protests against an answer I gave, in which I
told a mother-in-law that it was all right to give a stork shower lor
her daughter-ln-law. My reader says: "I can't see why such a shower
would be any better taste for the husband's mother to give, than for
the wile's mother. Both families are equally related aren't they?" And
so, I want to take back this answer
or at least explain that what I
said applied to a definite case, and
not to a general one. . As I remem
ber It, the situation was that of a
daughter-ln-law who a very short
while before the stork's arrival had
come to make her permanent home
in her husband's town. The show
er was given by her mother-in-law
to bring her into closer contact with
members of the family, which was
a large and clannish one. In this
case the bride had not made her
own friends, who could have given
her a shower. I do agree that un
der ordinary circumstances, a near-
Edna Walker, Marie Thomas, Vel
ma Thompson, Maggie Terry, Mabel
Kirk and Ruth Wardrlp assisting.
Seventy-five were In attendance.

Lace for the Bride's Mother
Dear Mrs. Post: You have said
that a bride may wear lace espe
cially lace that Is a family heirloom
at a wedding at any hour of the
day, but that lace, combined with
net, organza, or mull would be bet
ter than lace combined with satin
if the wedding is a simple one. Will
you please tell me if the mother of
the bride may wear a lace dress at
the wedding, no matter what hour
of the day?
Answer: Ordinarily lace Is
evening material. Whether or not
it could seem suitable would depend
upon Its pattern and the style of
making. It might be lovely! On the
other hand it might look all wrong.
Tlte Thirtieth Wedding Year
Dear Mrs. Post: What shall
give my wife for our thirtieth wed
ding anniversary? I didn't want
to give her anything for the house,
but rather something for herself
alone.
Answer: The thirtieth wedding
anniversary is pearl. Nothing is
more beautiful than the cultured
pearl. Many people misunderstand
what these are. They are not imi
tation. They are no more imitation
than is a flower grown in a hot
house, yet their market value Is ex
traordinarily low, compared with
that of self-grown pearls.
Movement in Libya
Highly Important
By DeWltt MacKenile
(Caplt.l Journal War Analyst)
Prime Minister Churchill's assertion that the allied of
fensive in Libya "will affect the whole course of the war" is
a rather typical British understatement, since an allied vic
tory would be likely to shorten the-
war Immeasurably whereas a sweep
ing defeat might be absolutely cata
strophic. At the risk of seeming unduly re
petitions I call the reader's atten
tion again to the fact that preser
vation of Britain's control of the
Mediterranean theater. Is, next to
the defense of England Itself, the
thing of greatest Importance to the
allied cause.
Should the British lose that vital
domination, It is difficult to see
how they could hope to win the
war.
Misrhtv Stride Possible
The greatest tnreat to England's
control is the possession of Libya
by the axis forces. If the axis, and
particularly the nazls, can be knock
ed out of northern Africa altogeth
er, the threat to the Mediterranean
will be reduced to a minimum, and
the allies will have taken a mighty
stride toward final victory.
Thus tremendous importance at
taches to this long-delayed full-
dress offensive across the desert,
against the axis defenses along the
Italian military highway which
skirts the sweeping circle of the sea
between Egypt and French Tun
isia. America of course has a very
considerable stake In this operation,
for It has been made possible
through the equipment which we
have been pouring Into Africa.
Any stoppage of supplies at this
crucial Juncture, by the way, might
ipell the difference between success
and defeat for the allies.
These Objectives Important
Thre are numrous important ob
jectives which are involved. These
include: I. To try to relieve the
German pressure against the Rus
sians by causing Hitler to with
draw warplanes and other equip
ment in order to support the axis
In Libya.
3. To make a quick conquest of
Libya so as to prevent Hitler from
gaining control of Prance's colon
ies in adjoining north Africa a
danger which seems to be increas
ed through the reported enforced
retirement of General Weygand as
commander-in-chief of the French
colonial armies. Weygand is cred
ited with having stood between
Hitler and these African bases which
are important to the Germans both
In the Battle of the Atlantic and for
land operations against the British
in Egypt,
3 To render the Germans impot
ent in north Africa so that if Hit
ler succeeds in breaking into the
Caucasus and on into the Middle
East, he won't be able to work his
famous squeeze-play by attacking
Egypt simultaneously from Libya,

Battleship at
Newport News
Newport News, Va., Nov. 31 OH
The 33,000-ton battleship Indiana.
which Secretary of Navy Knox de
scribed as a symbol of this nation's
will to survive In a world at war,
splashed into the James river to
day from her building ways at the
Newport News Shipbuilding and
Drydock company, six months
ahead of schedule.
Mrs. Lewis C. Robblns of Wichita
Palls, Texas, daughter of Indiana's
governor, Henry P. Schrlcker, hurled
a be-rlbboned bottle of champagne
against the towering bow to send
the mighty vessel on her way at
7:53 a. m. (PST).
Governor Schrlcker, Governor
James R. Price of Virginia, high
naval officials and ft number of
congressmen watched the $70,000,
000 vessel slide down the ways, slick
ened with 45 tons of grease, with
out mishap.
Secretary Knox declared It no ac
cident that the Indiana, third of
her name, was ready for launching
six months early.
"When our Industry and labor
are united," he said, "there Is noth
ing on earth can stop them.".
As the big ship hit the water
tugs moved up to take her In tow
to an outfitting pier in another
part of the yard. Whistles cut the
air and planes circled overhead as
the bunting-bedecked warship start
ed Its glide.
Mrs. Robblns went to the micro
phone a moment before the laifhoh
ing to issue a cherry call, "How an
you." Then she stepped back and
swung the bottle against the ship."
The 33,000-ton vessel, of the sams
class as the South Dakota and ths
Massachusetts which were launched
at other yards earlier this year,
represents 731 days work st ths
Newport News Shipbuilding and

laid November 30, 1939. ,
