FORT BRAGG, Aug. 20.—(A)—A
dawn attack today by a defending
Red army which threw an invad
ing Blue force from Fort Jackson,
S. C., back beyond the boundaries
of the military reservation ended
a mock warfare engagement which
began Monday night under as re
alistic conditions as authorities
could devise.
The weary troops of both armies
bivouacked late today for rest be
fore the second phase of tne ma
neuver begins tomorrow at 9 a.m.
The Red force is composed of
units of the streamlined Ninth di
vision, numbering about 16,000
troops. The invading Blues, made
up of the 60th Brigade combat
team supplemented by other units,
has a strength of about 8,000.
The exercise began Monday
night when the South Carolina con
tingents moved into this area and
the Ninth division’s 39th and 47th
infantries bivouacked in the Lo
velia area north of Little River and
the 60th infantry on the river’s
, south bank.

notified by officers of the Ninth
■ reconnei«»ance troop that a Blue
invading force was moving a^ong

The Red army’s mission was to
attack with a mythical First army
to hold off another in the vicinity
of Southern Pines.
The first attack began about 9
a.m. yesterday, with the 60th in
fantry moving southwestward into
the center of the Blue forces’ posi
tion and the 39th and 47th infan
tries beginning an encircling move
ment on the flanks.
The 47th infantry moved -north
ward, marching 32 miles in 24
hours, to get in position to smash
at the Blues’ left flank. The 39th,
meanwhile, was marching 30 miles
to the southward to come up on
the invaders’ right flank. Contact
was made about mid-morning yes
terday, and the simulated battle
raged throughout the day and all
last night.
At dawn today the three infan
try regiments attacked simultane
ously, carrying all objectives and
driving the Blues back.
A statement from General
Hoyle’s headquarters said he was
proud of the physical condition and
morale of his soldiers and the tests
showed they were in “fine condi
tion” for actual combat.
The maneuvers are being direct
ed by Maj.-Gen. Charles F. Thomp
son, of Fort Jackson, commander
of the First Army corps, assisted
by Col. W. C. Grants First Army
corps chief of staff. 1
Southport Shrimp
, Catches Yield High
Return to Trawlers
SOUTHPORT, Aug. 20.—Shrimp
trawler catches mounted early this
week to as high as 32 bushels to
some boats and this is calling for
an “all out” movement on the
part of boats that are in readiness
for the season.
The catch now includes some
shrirrjp too small to be altogether
desirable for anything but can
ning. With no canning plant here,
these small shrimp are being
shipped green along with the more
desirable product. This is result
ing in the market dropping from
$3.50 to $1.50 and $2.00 per bushel.
Even at that price the boats make
good money at the present rate
of production. The normal price
at this season of the year is $1.00
to $1.50 per bushel.
The catches have outgrown the
ability of the boatmen to do their
own heading and the negro shrimp
pickers are once again happy as
they gather at the buying houses
for their nickle a bucket work. 1

they cracked down. They said he intended to place the
mask on his pillow some night to give the impression he w^s
safely tucked in bed, then seek to nd his 25-to-50 year con

American Newspapermen Irked
By Handling Of Sea Conference
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Columnist
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—Ac
cording to accounts from London,
newspapermen knew, in advance,
all about the plan of Prime Minis
ter Churchill and Resident Roose
velt for a conference at sea, but
the British censor wouldn’t let ’em
publish it. In this country there’s
no censorship that could have pre
vented Washington’s newspaper
men from publishing whatever
they pleased and they did publish
their suspicions, but only suspi
cions were available; our capital’s
correspondential corps couldn’t get
anything definite until after the
historic confab was all over.
Even then, apparently, the origi
nal intention was to have the news
come initially from London.
That is to say, a London cable,
received here on the afternoon of
the same day that the meeting oc
curred, conveyed the information
that Major Clement Atlee, British
lord privy seal, was to broadcast a
tremendously important announce
ment wmch Americans would do
well to tune in on, with their
radios, at 9 a.m., Washington time,
on Aug. 14, the day following the
Roosevelt-Churchill get-togethers.
Well, evidently it occurred to
somebody in the know, that it
would be a little too raw for words
to make the United States depend
ent upon London for first advices
concerning OUR president’s chat
with Winnie Churchill on the for
mer’s so-called “vacation cruise.”
Anyway, Presidential Private
Secretary Steve Early scrabbled
hastily around and, at midnight,
Aug. 14-15 (several hours after re
ceipt of cabled tidings of the com
ing Atlee statement), notified the
Washington correspondents that
he’d have something vitally inter
esting to tell ’em at 8:30 in the
morning—just in time to beat At
lee by about 30 minutes, though
not soon enough to get into print
with it ahead of Atlee’s broadcast.
^urrespunaems rvemeu
Of course extras were issued as
fast as type could be set and
presses could swish out the papers.
Nevertheless, I’ve heard some
growling among Washington cor
respondents.
The boys’ thesis is that Britain
seems to be having a lot to say
concerning American publicity,
which they consider is none of
John Bull’s business.
Illustratively, not long. ago the
war department circularized Yan

A. K. Rodholm, Camp Croft, S. C.

kee military post commanders
thusly:
“The director of British censor
ship, Western hemisphere, has
brought to the department’s atten
tion several letters written by Unit
ed States army personnel to indivi
duals in foreign countries in which
mention was made of matters per
taining to military establishments.
While the cases reported appeared
to be the result of indiscretion,
measures must be taken to cause
this practice to be discontinued.
All personnel of your command will
be directed to omit all reference
to matters pertaining to the na
tional defense in personal letters
written by them, especially to for
eign countries.”
, Colonel William A. Smith, com
mander at Fort Devens, Mass.,
posted his copy of this circular on
the fort’s bulletin board, which is
how it happened to get into the
newspapers.
It wasn’t played up very promi
nently at the time, but, in connec
tion with the Atlee matter, it’s be
ginning to be considerably com
mented on by capital correspon
dents.
They don’t take the position that
care shouldn’t be exercised rela
tive to leaks that may be useful
to potential enemies of Uncle Sam
uel, but they’re decidedly resent
ful of the suggestion as coming
from a BRITISH “director of cen
sorship.”
Moreover, he’s a director for the
“WESTERN HEMISPHERE.”
“Does that include the United
States?” the scribes are asking.
