FORT LEWIS, May 22 (JP They call them grease mon keys" but when an army starts a long motorized movement they become the "vacuum cleaner crew." They are the quartermasters. One of the toughest jobs aris ing from the truck transfer of more than 22,000 men from Fort Lewis to King City, Calif., and early summer war games goes to the quartermaster of the 3rd and 41st divisions and the IX corps. Before tha first trucks pulled out early Monday, the outfits had to have approximately 3,400 vehicles in perfect running condition. Once the movement is under way they must tag along behind, ready to make major repairs and pull vehicles out of ditches. They will bring up the fag end of the two columns of trucks that will move down highways 97 and 99. They get tha "vacuum cleaner" title because they must pick up and repair the mechani cal cripples that tha columns leave in their wake. Master Sergeant Samuel P. Rankin of Seattle, top non-commissioned officer of the 41st Division's 116th quartermaster regiment, explains how it works: "Six of our trucks will be the last to leave. They are In two units, each one having a ma chine shop truck, a wrecker and spare parts hawler." "When the first unit finds an army truck that has broken down or has run in the ditch, it stops and remedies the difficulty. The other unit keeps on going until it finds the next victim. We'll be shuttling past each other all the way to California. McCHORD FIELD.

WASHINGTON, May 22 VP) A navy officer testified Mon day that swastichas planted be low deck were discovered on an American merchant marine ves sel in New Orleans May 1 after an agent of a seaman's union had interfered with attempts to enlist the crew as members of the navy's merchant marine reserve. Commander J. F. Shaforth of the office of the Judge advo cate, told the house naval com mit toe that the nan insignia were painted on the SS Delta Argentina, operated by the Mis sissippi shipping company. The discovery was made, he said, alter a fist fight between sea men. Shaforth said a "floating delegate'' of the AFL Seafarers' International union had dis banded the crew when Lieu tenant N. J. Blanq sought to interview the seamen. The sail ors, he added, were warned by the union agent, against sign ing as reservists. Boatswain A. Annis of the Delta Argentina signified a wil lingness to sign a reserve ap plication, Shaforth said the navy department had learned, but, Shatorth added, Annis was "reviled'' and accused of being a "traitor to the union" by A. Cory, a crew member. Committee Chairman Vinson (D-Ga.) promised an immediate investigation and said the crew members would be summoned to testify. The Delta Argentina is en route to South America, Shaforth said. The naval officer said the de partment wanted legislation making it unlawful to interfere with recruiting activities aboard merchant marine ships, and Vinson asked him to prepare a bill for committee considera tion tomorrow.
