(.TV-United States troops have reached this Neth erlands South American colony and have received a 'hearty and simple welcome." the of ficial Netherlands Indies news agency, Aneta, reported . last night.

(IP) In stances of rocks in sacks of flour used to simulate bombs in the army maneuvers and the throwing of acid smoke bombs that were intended to be used as mines "are so numerous and flagrant as to show clearly a lack of discipline and, back of that, inadequate leadership, Lieut. Gen. Lesley J. McNalr says. It was one of the points stressed by the chief of staff of army general headquarters at a critique late yesterday of the first week's training battle be tween the first army and the IV army corps. "No great fighting force can be built on such a foundation," the general said. He disclosed that an acid- drenching cost one soldier an eye.
