Surveying effects of the de

association said that between

"boom towns" because . they

the urban character of the de

Local Task Stressed
The association reported that
city officials were aware of two
"fundamental facts:"
1. That, although national de
fense is a responsibility of the
federal government, effective
operation is "in large part an
urban task" because defense in

but that all cities had been
touched in some way by the
defense program in its progress
during the past year."

Live Ammunition Suggested
For Realism in War Games
By Jack Beardwood
Camp Hunter Liggett. Calif.
June 6. OP) Army officers !
discussed Informally and unof
ficially today the possibility of
using "a little live ammunition"
in mock war to train soldiers
to use utmost caution in pro
tecting themselves.
The use of a few real bullets
along with the customary
blanks would make war games
a lot more realistic, they be

They Include:
Financing increasing costs of

"These typical problems were

OFFICIALS TO EYE
Fred W. Scheffel. city super
intendent, Paul B. Rynning,
county engineer, and Elmer Bie
gel, city superintendent of Ash
land, will go to California next,
week to study the effects Fort
Ord and Camp Roberts have
had on nearby municipalities.
Day of departure has not been
decided, Mr. Scheffel said.
The three executives will
study conditions that particu
larly effect their departments.
A more generalized study is now
' being made of the California
! camps by Mayor H. S. Deuel,

"If even one bullet in every
10,000 were real, they would River
fight as though they were en
gaged in real war. They would
be cautious. Fighting would be
realistic and of great value."
I In all probability, they said.
I there would be no casualties.
but in any event, "which Is
worst to kill one man in a
game like this and teach the
remainder a lesson they never
will forget or let them fight
with blanks and lose 8.000 men
in their first real battle?"
In actual warfare, troop losses
in the first engagements are
heavy because the men have to
break careless habits developed
in mock warfare, the officers
pointed out.
They said that Japan, Ger
many and other European coun
tries sometimes use as high a
ratio as one live bullet in 400
in war games. '
About 40,000 troops, mean
while, began a realistic but bul

valley, a new two-day
problem to test the ability of
foot soldiers and motorized
units to coordinate for rapid
movement.
