Riggs tipped a ball foul and it struck Dickey in the groin, who fell to the ground in obvious pain while McCarthy and the Yankees crowded around. After lying on the ground for a few minutes Dickey was helped 8 jsighbed by an Army plane from the GO" | Tucson base by Pilot Lieut. Cocl iran who radioed the information WITH THE THIRD ARMY—The Third Army is the largest and one| of the best of the new citizen armies. 4 Made up of regulars, National Guardsmen, inductees and reserv-| ists from every part of the country, it is a true cross section of the| U. S. A. and a very inspiring one. It is patriotic, high-spirited, fit and eager to learn. Throughout the big Louisiana | war games the men of the Third | Army, in heat and downpour, over | grueling swamp and woodland, dis- | played a spirit of scrappy aggres-) siveness and tenacity that kept| their 'enemy (Second Army) con- stantly on the defensive. From re-| connaissance patrols to Army Corps, | every unit of the Third was full of | fight and determination to win. | Some of the feats of this new| Army, still' a fledging force learn- ing the arts of war, were remark- able. For example: In the first two days of the first| phase of the maneuvers the 48rd 37th and 38th Divisions of Na-| tional Guardsmen marched over 50| miles and then went immediately | into combat. This is an outstand- ing military performance and on a par with the best displayed by crack German infantry, which un- derwent training for seven years. 1t graphically demonstrates the su- perb physical fitness and spirit of these citizen soldiers. Another example was the extra-|that it squeezed through a 28-mile | ordinary feat of the 1st Cavalry Division fording the Sabine River at night with all its heavy motor | and artillery equipment (400 ve-| hicles) to pounce early in the morning on the unsuspecting west flank of the enemy and capture a large part of its gas supplies.

Designed by their framers to make clear the extent to which individuals should be safeguarded under the constitu- tion, the ten articles found a con- sistent defender in the liberal- minded justice and he frequently turned to them for interpretations on the constitutionality of laws wherein the rights ‘of propert)y seemed to clash with human rights From the start of his Supreme Court service in 1916 he found a sympathetic soul n his old friend Oliver Wendell Holmes and he frequently joined with “the great dissenter” in minoxity opinions. The retirement of Holmes left Brandeis as the oldest member of the court “Liberal Wing” The appointment of Benjamin N. Cardozo brought into being a new “liberal wing” of Brandeis, Cardozo and Harlan F. Stone and they formed a consistent “bloc” in up- helding most of the New Deal acts which came before the court from 1933 onward. They joined unanimous decisions against the NRA (national indu trial recovery act), the Frazier- Lemke farm mortgage moratorium act, the processing tax refund and the power of the President to re- move a federal trade commissioner They joined the majority in uphold- ing the right of the federal gov- ernment to sell power through the Tennessee Valley Authority, and in for Seattle for @ short stay in the Titory. visiting historical old gold States.
