LONDON, Nov, 19.—When American troops marched into North African cities they brought with them their own traffic signs in English. As American fighter planes flew in to land at air fields captured only a few minutes before, the pilots found that their craft could be refuelled immediately with gasoline that had been carried ashore in five-gallon cans on the backs of soldiers. ' If a giant tank rolled in for repairs, the crew didn't need to worry about getting spare parts designed for some pther type of tank—there were parts for these tanks.

repairing damage and buildings for their unexpected visitors, they found shiny new Ameri-can-made tools already miraculously provided for them.
Part of Historic Plan
All these were no coincidence. They were interlocking features of the militarily historic “Plan North Africa”—that tremendous feat of organization and planning that made possible the mightiest overseas attack of all time. The story-behind-the-story of
“Plan North Africa” has been re-|
vealed to me in an exclusive interview with the master stage director who set up the props for this great war drama. He is firm-chinned, electric-minded Maj. Gen. John C. H. Lee, Chief of the United States army’s services of supply in the European theater. : General Marshall put the show
f “in production” when he visited]:
Britain early in July. General Ei-
| senhower arrived a few weeks later.
The quick, decisive Eisenhower began actively planning the general
offensive for Marshall, whose con-|
fidence he enjoys and whose policies he knows.
. General Lee and his staff were] .
called upon to organize the materials and supply troops to support these operations.
Needed British Help
“We did noi have sufficient
strength in this theater to put over the operations as an exclusively American enterprise,” said General Lee. “Therefore we had to draw upon elements of British strength. The naval escort from British shores, for example, was mainly British. “The British ministry of war transport arranged to give us every possible merchant ship. The British told us fully what they had and how much they could offer us. There were almost daily 'AngloAmerican military conferences. The British again proved themselves true brothers in arms.” The problems of arranging to supply a great expedition while that expedition was still in the process of ‘aking shape wouid have floored most men. But it didn’t floor this sturdy, trouble-shooting general whose military creed is “Only the best will do.” : Supplies were loaded aboard every available ship. Almost every vessel in the assault convoy was a fully-equipped assault force in minjature, so if one ship were sunk it would not be disastrous to the expedition as a whole.
All Supplies Designated
Initial rations were boxed “for 12 men.” All supplies were specially marked with code numbers, symbols and different colors designating the contents of packages, their destinations and the units for which they were intended. Supplies were packaged for transportation on the backs of the assault troops. Many ships had to be detached from their usual runs and sent to shipyards for refitting with heavy derricks and winches for handling armored vehicles, and with addi-

tional anti-aircraft guns. Colliers were recruited for convoys in order to supply coal for the operation of North African railways. Tugs and their skippers were taken along to handle shipping in North African harbors. Two factors mminly governed the size of the convoys: the amount of naval protection that could be afforded, and the capacity of the port for which the convoy was destined. Enemy harbors could not be overcrowded with ships that would be vulherable to air attack. Therefore every inch of the waterfronts had to be well known in advance of the operation, including the

ports’ capacity for discharging, hauling and storing cargoes. There were two types of convoys. Those carrying attack troops could travel faster than the convoys carrying supplies. So, strangely enough, the supply ships set out for enemy shores ahead of the troop ships.
TODAY'S COMMON ERROR Q—Is the following sentence grammatical? “Drunkenness is when alcohol affects the brain.” A—No; because when or where clauses may not be used in place of a predicate noun. say “Drunkenness is a state of the briin caused by the action of alcohol.”
