sifles tor one of these streamlined
divisions of infantry. These new
aeaii-automatic rifles, weighing
anly »fne pounds, will pump out
hro to three times as many shots

Of tS«

National Dofonao Advlaory Com-
'mission- Is where the how to turn
oat rifles fast' enough to eqnii*
these new troops. And that prob--
lom Is being worked out day hy
day.
There are other new weapons.
There is the .30 caliber automatic
rifle or light machine 'gun,
enough like a rifle for a man to
pick up and walk away with It.
There will be about twenty 81
mm. mortars, and 60 mm. mor
tars for each division. A mortar
can loh a shell weighing several
pounds right to where the enemy
Is hiding behind a building.
There will be a supply of eigh
teen -50 caliber machine guns
that can stop anything up to and
Including light tanks, and anoth
er eighteen 37 mm. antitank guns
whose 1 1-2-inch shell will ruin
almost any tank that ever clank
ed. In addition, the infantry must
be supplied with .45 caliber serv
ice pistols, and a large number of
hand grenades to present to near
by enemies.
The job facing the nation to
day is to provide adequate manu-
facutring faculties to supply those
weapons.for the existing divisions
as rapidly as possible, and to de
liver them to the new divisions
as fast as they are ready for
them. That calls tor special steels
for the gun barrels. It calls for
machines that can convert that
steel into weapons. And it calls
for men who can operate those
machines. The Army knows its
needs. It is the job of the Nation
al Defense Advisory Commission
to find out how we fulfill those
requirements without crowding
and confusion. But that list above
i.s only what a modern infantry
regiment can more or less carry
over its shoulder in the way of
weapons.

Ammunition Needs
That more or lees settles the
weapons that the Infantry has
handy. But these modern, agile,
war machines can dispose of a
surprlsin quantity of ammunition
In a short time. For example, the'
Ml rifle, with a good man on
the trigger end can fire over 130
shots in five minutes. A machine
gun can loose about 2,600 shots
In the direction of the enemy In
the same time. So It Is evident
that there will have to be con
siderable expansion of the na
tion’s ammunition facilities In a
hurry. And, this Ir turn, will call
for more powder plants, and
stepping U.P of production of
brass shell cases, snd steel-jacket
bullets. All this has to be done
without creating ibottle-necks,
without waste motion. And that's
the way it’s being done.
