is called ‘‘dome training”, in which
a large dome built on the style of a
planetarium enabled the gunners to
sight model planes skirting across the
simulated sky. The battalion intel
ligence officer said of Cpl. Willie
Walters, a Bofor gunner from Route
2, Roxboro, N. C., ‘‘He’s one of the
most accurate hitterse I’ve ever seen
manipulate a Bofor.”
The rigid training in identification
of hrth friendlv nnd rn’inv planes
made every soldier in the entire bat
talion able to recognize any a:ro'ane
they are apt to see during the invas
m.
A battery of these troops was the
first United States anti-aircraft unit
to fire at German raiders over Eng
land during World War II. The flak

Lt. Gen. Leslie McNair, command
ing general of the United States
Army Ground Forces, commended
this battalion for its fine record and
military proficiency.
Snake Generators Hide Troops
Huge blankets of artificial smoke
bleching into the sky from Negro
operated smoke generators can not
only screen the invasion troops from
hidden Nazi pill-boxes and machine
gun nests, but will also protect them
from bombers and strafing and re
connaissance by the luftwaffe.
Much of the effectiveness of
smoke screens depends upon the dir
ection of the wind, its velocity and i
atmospheric pressure, but trained me-1
teorolog’sts like Staff Sgt. Paul L. |
Reid of Pittsburgh have the responsi
bility of forecasting correctly all
these changeable factors. Every halt
hour a meteorologist takes a reading
of the wind direction and speed and
atmosphere conditions, all of which
are used to calculate future operat
ions.
The generators, mounted on rubber
shod vehicles, are highly mobile and
move about on the beaches and ter
rain to the exact spot desired for
smoke coverage. They have had
plenty of actual practice operational
experience.
They Get the M essage l hrough I
Erecting advance communication
lines to forward observation posts on
the very edge of the enemy’s territ
ory is the role undertaken by signal
corps construction units like the Ne
gro battalions that for months has
been getting actual practice by erect
ing lines for the British General Post
office, to carry war messages through
out the United Kingdom.
The temporary field lines leading
up to the front lines are reeled off
moving trucks, and when it becomes
apparent the truck can advance no
further into the fighting area, the
reel may be carried forward by foot
soldiers, while covered by riflemen
and machine gunners. These lines
connect battalions and regiments and
combat teams with divisional head
quarters, so that the commanding
general’s message goes through to
every unit.
As the ground forces move forward
j other sections of the signal corps bat
j talion erect permanent lines, like the
| 135 miles of telephone lines one sec
j tion constructed across English coun
tryside in eight days. A secret to
I this speed is the earth borer that
I drills a hole in less than three min
utes. and a flying cable operated
I from the crane of the truck that
hoists the pole into place, ready for
the linemen to lay the wire.
Erecting lines is by no means the
end of the job. They have to be
serviced and kept in constant repair.

secretary to Senator Pat McCarran j
of Nevada, telegraphed that "Senat- 1
or McCarran has wired from Nevada ;
to cast his vote in favor of approp- 1
iation for Fair Employment Practice

The fate of the agency, however,
hangs in the balance because of the
determined drive of Southern Sen
ators led by Russell of Georgia, Me-'
Kellar of Tennessee, Lister Hill of
Alabama and O’Daniel of Texas to
drive the FEPC out of existence.

ors, Republican and Democratic are,

“cagy” and “evasive” in their attitude >
Tydir.gs of Maryland has assured a
delegation organized by the Baltimore

Russell in hearings of the sub-com
mittee in attacking FEPC’s handling
