AMAZES BRITISH

Use Football Tactics in Increasing Efficiency.

By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Staff Writer CALCUTTA, July 16. — For 2% years almost 90 per cent of all U.8.| war supplies for the China-Burma- | India theater have come through the great port of Calcutta. For the last two months Calcutta has been virtually the only Indian port used’ by Americans in getting. the goods to China—over the Stilwell road, by air and pipeline. As the war in Burma progressed, the percentage of U.S. supplies going through Karachi and Bombay, formerly our only Indian ports, steadily increased until several weeks ago. Then they were closed so far as American port operations were concerned. Since mid-January, 1944, the India-Burma theater has stood at the top of the overseas efficiency rating in net discharge of cargo per day. In one month the net rate of discharge from ships was double that of the next theater. First under Maj. Gen. Gilbert X Cheves and then under Brig. Gen. Robert Reese Neyland, the efficiency

upgrade. | Eighteen months ago the British believed the six berths of the King George decks allotted Americans, the best in the port, were good for no more than a monthly maximum of 300,000 tons. More than 900.000 tons are now being handled through them. This is another reason why the British ask: “What is it? What have the Ameri-

Neyland Lauds Spirit Brig. Gen. Bob Neyland credits the American spirit of accomplishment. American G.I1s even make the Indians, or Wogs, as they call them, work. The Americans’ eagerness to get the job done even has

Big Bob { Neyland, whom fans will recall as | the famous coach of the University | of Tennessee, attributes ‘this to the | application of football principles. “Rules for the running of this. port almost could be taken out of! ithe football textbook,” he explains. | “Physical condition, technical ability {and morale. Give me three minutes lon any military job, especially one | having to do with construction, and [Tl tell you whether it's on time or | behind schedule. The esprit de corps tells the story.
