Mock Enemy.

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md, Aug. 28 (U. P.).—The first of the Army's new tank destroyer battalions demonstrated its potency vesterday in a mock bottle against an “enemy” tank force that had made a theoretical break through. A fast-moving, rapid-firing and heavily armed unit, the new combat formation bounced and rolled across the rough terrain of the maneuver ground, took up positions and “wiped out” the opponents within a few minutes. The demonstration by the provisional tank destroyer battalion was witnessed bv a group of officers and newsmen from a knoll overlooking the Geld of action. Army officers emphasized that the battalion composition is tentative and that it will be improved after field tests in the forthcoming Liouis- | | Mobite: Ala -St. fana maneuvers.

BRAZZAVILLE, French Equatorial Africa, Aug. 28.—Gen. Charles de Gaulle’s open offer to the United States to permit the American fleet and air arm to use bases on the coast of the Camercons, Gabon and French Equatorial Africa, in order to counteract Hitler's penetration of Dakar and French West Africa, was the subject of unrestrictedly favorable comment in the narrow

|circle of de Gaulle’s advisers among (whom it had become known today.

No public announcement of de Gaulle’s decision has been made and it was evident that the Free French authorities would wait until news of the offer, made in an exclusive interview yesterday, returned from the United States before amplify-

ling their chief's statement.

Celebration Is Over Whether Libreville, another French port on the Gulf of Guinea. was included in de Gaulle’s offer of Duala, Port Gentil and Pointe Noir, remained unrevealed. In the early morning hours when including several officials from the Belgian Congo capital of Leopoldville, still were making their way homeward through streets decorated with the Tri-color from the grand ball held to celebrate the first birthday of Free France, de Gaulle, himself, who had appeared last night only long enough for an exchange of salutes, resumed his conferences with his defense staff. It was evident that, having expressed his opinion that Hitler already controlled bases in VichyAfrica and that when it suited the Nazis’ plans they would be occupied with as little ceremony as were the Syrian airports, the tall, incisive leader of Free Frenchmen was content to let the Americans alone weigh the value and import of his words. Whether they chose to heed them, de Gaulle evidently considered a matter for themselves to decide.

U. S. TO EXPERIMENT WITH ‘CORN’ FUEL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 (U. P.) .— The Agriculture Department announced today that it is ready to begin large-scale experimental production of substitute motor fuel from farm products. Experiments will be conducted in the new regional research laboratory at Peoria, Ill, on corn, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, wheat and other carbohydrate crops.

Officials said this so-called pilot

plant, into which chemists and engineers have incorporated all the latest improvements in equipment and processes available, will be capable of producing 500 gallons of alcohol, base of the new fuel, per day.
