In June 1941, bombs will fall on

Indiana soil . . . the earth will shake from the impact . . . heavy tanks will. plow through field and stream . . . warplanes, their guns chattering, will circle, dive and zoom. ’ ; This is not a wild guess. Nor will it be a game when it occurs. Those men who trip the hammer of their machine guns, who pull ‘the bomb Telease, and batter down walls with heir tanks will be in deadly earnest. For eighfy miles due north of Madison, Ind., in a tract of land consisting of 60,000 acres, the U. 8. Army's best engineers and technicans will be testing the nation’s ever increasing war strength. That tract of land three miles wide on the south and fanning out for 19 miles to a width at the north end of six miles today is just coun-

side. the next six months, the J. L. Simmons Co., Inc., Indianapolis con-

struction frm, will’ Help transform this area -into- a fenced-in, guarded reservation which will contain all of the weapons of land and air warfare. : ‘The task is not a simpie one, for today the Government demands as well as quantity and quality. In this fenced-in proving ground |m will be 120 buildings, 60 miles of hard roads, 20 miles of railroad track and complete lighting, sewage and water systems. William Mohler, manager and vice president of the Simmons company, believes that “the army will be in operation oon the proving grounds within six months.” Three weeks ago the contract was signed. Today key men in the construction industry are preparing the grounds for actual construction. Tomorrow, work will be under way. Two hundred expert engineers in every field will be in charge of the estimated 5000 workers who will create one of the largest proving

grounds in the nation.

Bombed

‘Heading dll of this construction activity will be a general manager who beneath him has a project r with six assistants to keep work forging ahead, no matter what

The administrative offices will include a purchasing department, and d ents -of insurance, employt, accounting and many others. Doctors and nurses will be on duty 24 hours a day. Following the protective system of the huge Jeffersonville powder plant 30 miles away, the proving ground will be protected from sabotage by fences and an iron ring of guards schooled in their profession. Laboratories with thé most modern equipment, recreation halls and officers’ and enlisted men’s quarters will occupy the buildings all located at the south end of the grounds. The buildings, to be permanent structures, are built on concrete foundations, steel framed with brick walls one foot thick. It is believed at present that the proving grounds will be used pri-

marily for the testing of heavy ar-

tillery, powder and new type bombs.

It is conceivahle that with the continually mounting list of bomb guns anc munitions being manufactured in Indiana that much of the usted materials will be Hoo-
