Monberg United Press Correspondent Fort Meade, Md., Dec. 14 (U.R) Every infantryman train ed here could qualify as a com mando or ranger. He knows how to handle bay onets, hand grenades, rifles, ma chine guns, mortars. He even knows how to defend himself without weapons. To show how American sold iers are toughened for combat. the war department mvited a group of newspaper women to witness a demonstration at Fort Meade. The theory was that the wives and sweethearts of Amer ica would like to learn from wo men observers just how thor oughly their men folk are pre pared for the ordeals they face. Reporters Cold The men stood the arduous ex hibition better than the women And HOW It'll Deliver The GOODS!

It was so cold the reporters had to borrow heavy govern ment issue socks and drink lots of government issue coffee to keep from freezing. To an artillery fire accompani ment, 40 men under Lieut. Har vey Daniel of Weehawken, N. J., showed how American Rangers specially trained raiding units disarm an opponent and put him out of action. Officers and menin fatigue clothes grappled with no holds barred and with no squeamish notions of "fair play." Heads banged against the frozen earth as the performers proved they are as skilled at judo as Japan ese soldiers. Fort Meade had the first Rang er school in the country.

One reason for the high proportion of casualties was that the men trained with bare bayonets, as in actual com bat Fight for Keeps The men at Meade are taught practically all known methods of fighting for keeps. They use rocks, they pull hair, they em' ploye the thumb-in-eye tech nique. Since Meade sets up its 600 yard obstacle course cluttered up with bear traps, water holes and walls, infantry divisions all over the country have followed suit. One trip through the course is murder, the second not quite so bad, the third well, the boys of the 76th can take it in stride, now. SLATED BY AAU Chicago, Dec. 14.
