Mrs. | Pear] Mangus will preside at the By TOM WOLF LONDON, April 27.—When the U. 8. army’s ordnance corps answers “Ready!” to the invasion roll call, it is almost synonymous with saying that the army can move.

that anti-aircraft is only a small drain on the overall ammunition picture. Ordnance’s job is complicated primarily by the fact that ammunition must be stored over wide areas for safety. At the same time, it must be stored so that there is some ammunition of every type handy to every one everywhere. That's quite a trick in itself.

Needs Anticipated

The ammunition problem is, however, the lesser of ordnance’s planning headaches. The supply, maintenance and repair of arms and vehicles presents the real $64,000,000 question. To plan for the invasion, ordnance had to know what types of units are going to be used and what types of equipment, ordinary and special, they will need. It has to decide how quickly

. equipment is going to wear out or

be destroyed in battle; and where and how to place repair shops and eo to sepaly or replace

In the army, economy is measured in time. Shops<must be placed so that no matter where the army goes they will be handy. Over and above everything else ordnance must know, there is the question of the kjnd of campaign
