IN TRAINING OF

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.

With its speed, Columbus

certain other things Columbus

did. 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. Of 212
men in the first class, 60 Were in
the hospital before the course
was over. 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. (U.R) The
National Amateur Athletic
