Last Horsedrawn Regiment at Bragg Fort Bragg.—The 112th Field Artillery of Fort Bragg, the last regiment of horse drawn artillery in the armed forces of this coun try, will hold its final ’’Maneu- vers Limbered” in November of this year, for on Decemlier 1st this regiment wll be converted into a motorized rpgi"'ent armed with the new 10.5 mm Howitzer. The familiar combination of gun and limber will be seen no more ■with the e.xeeption of a small number of horse drawn 7.5 mm gun battalions -"t various posts. which is a New Fort Jackson, S C.—“The Star Spangled Banner” is still ’ tops’’ with the average American re gardless of reflections that are often cast upon his lack of suf- ficiant “patriotic spirit.’’ That’s the opinion of Pvt. Alan W. Baldwin, a Fort Jackson se lectee, who knows whereof he speak.s. F’or Pvt. Baldwin is the co-inventor of a “progrrm ha- ronietei' that has been adopted by Dr. Geor.ge Gallup— creator of the Gallup For of Public Opin ion— a.s the mos, accurate test of audience reaction to radio, stage and motion picture programs. In numerous testa conducted throughout the East — reputedly the center of “I can take it or leave it Americanism”, Pvt. Bald win has found that no dramatic musical or sports feature even approache.s the “Star Spangled Banner” in its appeal to an audi ence. “The national anthem repeat edly hits the highest point ever recorded in the program baro meter,” Baldwin said. ’And when you consider that our device en ables the listener to register his reaction secretly without being influenced by the applause of his neighbor, it’s rather evident that his patriotism isn’t a fal.=e ‘front’ but the real American product, spontaneous and not forced as it is in some countries.” The “progrrm barometer,’’ in vented and developed by Pvt. Baldwin and William D. Horn while both were students at the University of Iowa, is an electri cally-operated device used on an ni'diencp to determine it« favor- aide and nnfavorrble reactions to entertainment programs. > .actors. Just prior to their graduation in May 1940, they left for New York where they “sold” -Dr. Gal lup on the idea. Under the trade name of "Audience Surveys,’’ they continued their joint work in New York until April 2, 1941 when Baldwin w'as inducted In the army. He is now a member of Headquarters Company, 13t’,i Infantry Regiment, at Port Jack- son where he is engaged in lay ing wire for field telephone com munication and operating a tele phone swltchboar.1.

Among the mor® popular radio shows which Pvt. ! Baldwin and his pprtner have tested are those of Bob Hope Ed- die Cantor, and “The Silver The- ; atre ’’ They also made research tests on the motion pictures. “My Favorite Wife” and “Irene.” The “program barometer” is regarded by Dr. GpIIup as the most concrete method of program breakdown, measuring reaction completely throughout the .show.
