-7- HISTORY OF THE

Our Army had grown until it numbered millions. Parents, wives and relatives had watched America's young men march off to distant training camps without being able to visit them and learn from personal ob­ servation how those men were being prepared for mod­ ern warfare. America was financing a war effort. It wanted to know how its money was being expended. The Bureau of Public Relations of the War Department wanted an answer. It was discovered in the Army War Show. Major General Alexander D. Surles, Director of the Bureau of Public Relations, thought it would be wise if a cross SC'ction of the Army could be presented to the people of the country in the form of an Army War Show. With the approval of the Chief of Staff, General JOHN THOMAS TAYLOR George C. Marshall, he requested the cooperation of Colonel the Commanding Generals of the three components of the Army: Lieutenant General Henry H. Arnold of the Air Force's, Lieutenant General Lesley J . McNair of the Ground Forces, and Lieutenant General Brehon B. Somervell of the Service of Supplies. The task of or­ ganizing and planning fell to a public relations veteran, Major Charles Spencer Hart, who had managed war expositions during the last war. With the full cooperation of all branches, a force of approximately 700 men was assembled at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, on May 20, 1942. There were units from the Signal Corps at Fort Monmouth, Engineers from Fort Belvoir, Mechanized Cavalry from Fort Knox, Mechanized Infantry from Fort A. P. Hill, Chemical Warfare Service from Edgewood Arsenal, and a small but effective operating squadron from the Air Corps. A tank, anti-tank and several service units were added, and at Pittsburgh the task force was joined by a negro cavalry unit from the Ninth Cavalry of Fort Riley, Kansas. This was to constitute the Provisional Task Force of the Army War Show. To Colonel Wilson T. Bals, Gen­ VIRGIL F. SHAW eral Staff Corps of the Seventh Service Command, came Colonel the man-sized assignment of organizing and of com­ manding the Task Force. With the show moving from town to town, it was found wise to incorporate a national committ<'e of prom­ inent citizens to conduct it under their auspices; the net revenue to be turned over by this national corpora­ tion, War Shows, Inc., to the Army Emergency Relief Fund.

Mr. Stewart McDonald, former Federal Housing Ad­ ministrator and chairman of the board of the Maryland Casualty Company, was persuaded to accept the presi­ dency of the non-profit corporation. Mr. Henry Steeger, New York publisher and business man, was named vice­ president. Mr. William P. Dunn, Vice-President of Manufacturers Trust Co., New York, was chosen treas­ urer, and Mr. John Reddy, Jr, was elected secretary and was re1ained as attorney for the corporation. Mr. Dunn and Mr. Reddy held identical positions with Ring­ ling Brothers-Barnum & Bailey Circus for many years, and their services to the War Show were invaluable.

-e- ARMY WAR SHOW

A governmental operated organization requires com• plete financial records. As assistant treasurer, Mr. Don Campbell and his assistant, Mr. Robert Cramond, trav• eled with the War Show, mastering the task of organiz• ing a compreh nsive system of finance, bookkeeping and purchasing records. A National Advisory Committee consisting of 48 of the most prominent and professional men of the United States aided the working organization. Likewise, in each city visited a local committee of prominent citizens helped pave the way for the engagement. The co• operation from the press, radio, outdoor advertising plants, merchants, and industries was enthusiastic and . whole-hearted. Newspapers devoted editorial, cartoon, and advertising space to the Show; radio stations gave unlimited air time for broadcasting, and choice bill• boards and advertising sites were donated in every city. Throughout, the coop ration was magnificent within the organization, and th national acclaim received by MAJOR CHARLES S. HART the Army War Show stands as a lasting tribute to the Bureau of Public Relations, the Task Force, War Shows, Inc., and Army Emergency R lief, and to Colonel Bals and Maj or Hart for th ir untiring efforts toward a gr at r and still greater Show. cities.

- 32 - Engineers operate railways, electric light and power sys- tems, water supply systems, and many other utilities in the forward areas. They obtain, store, and issue all materials for construction, for building defensive systems, and for all the other engineering work, in­ cluding plants, tools, and ap­ pliances for such work.

Another important job of En­ gineers is surveying and map­ ping. This work includes not only preparing maps but pro­ ducing them in quantity by printing or other means, and distributing them to the other arms and services at the ear­ liest possible moment for tac­ tical and strategical use.

Among the units of the Army is the Chaplain Corps, composed of men who, in civil fife, follow the calf of the ministry. Theirs is the spiritual responsibility of the army-soldiers, while at the same time apostles of God. They follow their calling in the armed service-Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish chaplains alike. LT. JOHN E. ALBERT Many and varied are their duties: visiting the sick, consoling the Task Force Chaplain sorrowful, admonishing the wayward, and burying the dead. In the far-flung islands of the Pacific-in remote Java and Austrclio, in Ireland, Africa, and England, wherever American troops are stationed, we find the Chaplain with his men con- ducting religious services. Worshiping God, by word and example, he seeks to lead men to know, love and serve our Creator. Using whatever is at hand, be it an army car or a natural altar of stone, the Chaplain in uni• son with his men prays for God's strength and grace for himself and those at home. When the zero hour of battle comes, the Chaplain is there encouraging, helping, and with God's grace preparing men for the crisis they must face. ARMY WAR SH 0 W ITINERARY

It was obvious from the start that since it was desirable to get the message of the Army War Show to as many people as possible, radio should play its rightful part. So, two Army men, Sgt.

WCLE _A' - CLEVELAND: A group of program ideas was devised which could be WJAS \ wwsw adapted to almost any station's requirements, using the WCAE personnel and officers of the Show itself as the main par• KDKA ticipants. Also, through the medium of "on the spot" broad• casting, Sgts. Parks and Waldrop endeavored to dramatize the use of Army equipment. At the Battle Depot visitors were interviewed as they examined army exhibits. In im• portant areas in the business district in tensely inter sting interviews were conducted with civilians who inspected the mechanized equipment used in the Army War Show. Another promotional device that was used with great success was the "welcoming ceremony." Three platoons of Infantry, a Horse Cavalry detachment, and the Army War Show Band would come downtown, preferably in front of WAVE ' WHAS ./ City Hall, as a guard of honor for Colonel Bals, the mayor, WGRC and other civie leaders.

The radio industry responded magnificently to the re• quests made by the members of the War Show's radio staff. In addition to all of their oth r broadcast activities the stations filled their schedule with spot announcements telling the facts about the production. More than 86 radio stations cooperated with the War D partment by broad• casting War Show programs.
