Feet Not Supplanted for
Motive Power in the Army
* By PVT. H. B. FOX
(The Editor of the Madisonville Meteor, now in the service dis-
covers that an army travels on its feet.)
CAMP BARKELEY, March 20. (AP)—The idea that the present
army is motorized and mechanized, that it fights with machines and
travels on wheels, is pretty well established, and I had the same
idea myself when I came in, but I wish to report that so far as my
army experience goes, feet have not been supplanted.

Four Known Dead
In Bus Disaster
PASSAIC, N. J. March 20 (P)
A bus plunged from a bridge
into the Passaic river channel
today with a death toll variously
estimated from eight to 30 per-
sons.
Only seven persons were res-
cued and one of these died in a
hospital.
The bodies of three women
were recovered, making a known
death toll of four, while officials
said other bodies might have
been carried downstream by tne
tide.
Michael Shedosky, 33-year-old
factory worker who watched
from a third-floor window, said
he saw 12 or 13 persons in the
water, some of them with bloody
heads, “and I saw four of them
go down.”
Stanley Raymond, 35, told from
his hospital bed of swimming
among corpses inside the bus and
finally making his way out the
emergency rear door, which had
flown open as the bus crashed
through the bridge railing and
dropped 15 feet into the icy
stream.
