ABERDEEN, Md., Sept. 4 (U.P.). ~—Gen. Mud surrendered unconditionally to American ingenuity today when the army rolled out the “Water Weasel” and proved it had a brand new light cargo and personnel carrier which is equally at home on land, water or in a swamp. Other weapons unveiled for the first time at the ordnance testing center here included two new tank busters, the fastest hardest-hitting weapons of their type in the world; the “Locust,” a new airborne tank made by Marmon-Herrington Co. of Indianapolis, and a light tank with fire power formerly found only in medium tanks. The Weasel, which wag designed (primarily for use in jungle swamps against the Japanese, resembles a small boat mounted on tracks. In a series of dramatic tests it traveled easily across a huge bog in which jeeps immediately became hopelessly stuck. It carries four men or half a ton of supplies. The light tank destroyer, which mounts the new high velocity 76 mni. cannon, has proved so fast and maneuverable with its cruising speed of 50 miles per hour that the army is now hard put to supply reconnaissance vehicles which can keep pace with it.

Its heavier counterpart which

banks and is readily convertible to water travel. A bow and sterm were added to the original “Weasels” oblong body, increasing th length to 14'4 feet. Hinged rudders were released

In the Battle of France, its 24-pound armor-piercing pro=: Jectiles have knocked out every type of tank the Germans are using. The light tank‘ which was ine cluded in the proving ground parade of ‘new mobile fighting machinery mounts the American 75 mm. which was at one time to be found only in medium tanks, Another notable feature is that each of its tracks rests on five large rubber-tired wheels. x The tiny airborne tank has the appearance of a toy Gen. Sherman. Prom the ground to the top of its turret is only about five feet. Fiown into Normandy on D-day by glider, the Locust proved it was no plaything by effectively cleaning out’ enemy machinegun nests which ex~ pected to find only infantry oppos= ing them, bd Sn The Locust is armed with a rapid. fire 37 mm, machine gun and has top ‘speed of about 40 miles an hqur.
