closer i i the fire of lag guns than
do the duties of most soldiers.
Macl.arg is the target setter at
an Army firing ringe near Se-
attle. the only range in the nation
where guns as big as 75's art*
proof-fired indoor. Projectiles
from the guns pass hv Mac La r^
a few feet a. av and rip into a
backstop of sand.
The f'tins are fii d in a lottt
| building with walls of steel rein-
j forced concrete nearly 2 teet thick
j and to revent damage from con-
cussion, the sides have a series
of air vents to rek'ase the air
pressue.
To keep from having to replace
the target setters, an intnea'e
warning system is set up. After
MacLarg has s#t up the target
and tlie gun lm be*«n Loaded. Wal-
lace C. Anderson, the proof di-
rector, gives him a warning and
' he steps into an adjoining room,
closing a heavy.door behind him.

27-foot sand pile but during tlie
flight from gun to back stop 'li-

my tanks.

Hitler is feeling that touch of Texas
from many sources—from llie tens of

every luancfi of oui' armed fom->—
from the tens ^if thousands <d liomlts
and shells loaded with TNT made from
Toluene that Humble processes from
Texas crude oil. Since 15 days la-fore
Pearl Harbor, Humble ha- been prti-
ditcing more toluene than v.j« lomictly

source# in the IJniletl States combined.
