Times Special ARMY DEPOT, Ga. April 10.— Out here in the piney woods, generals and colonels are being anoint-

ed with crankcase oil and pumped full of knowledge by motor-wise officers and civilian instructors of the U. S. army quartermaster motor transport school. That's one reason why army trucks last longer and roll farther than they did in the days when the infantry was “queen of battles.” Some other reasons why the quartermaster corps is able to “keep ‘em rolling” longer are three other schools like this one—in California, Maryland and Texas. The army doesn’t care to advertise their ex-

act locations.

These ranking officers are taking the hitherto unsung, but mighty important “preventive maintenance course for general and field officers.” It is advisable, to state it gently, that they pass their exams. Commanding officer of this particular motor base and commandant of the motor transport school is a big, amiable ex-cavalryman who thinks as much of trucks as he does of horses—Col. Richard N. Atwell. In fact, the colonel thinks more of his trucks, in practical terms. Every two weeks “Prexy” Atwell gets a new batch of students. In the extensive shops, built on the rolling red hills, coveralls enclose brigadier generals of infantry, col-

sweaty, greasy, dirty and tired. For two weeks the students drive trucks, tear down and reassemble motors, listen to lectures and study far into the night. The current class will take a convoy to Ft. Benning, Ga., and the truck drivers on this trip will be just who you think—generals and colonels. Company officers and enlisted personnel long have been submitted to gruelling courses in the maintenance of mechanized equipment, but the short course for ranking officers is comparatively new.

already awarded the Bloomington Limestone Corp., Chamber of Commerce officials announced today. Officials said additional contracts to other mills will be awarded shortly in a program that eventually will embrace the entire Oolitic limestone industry.
