Noumea, Oct. 21.
WITH appropriate ceremony, the US Army’s 150th Ordnance Motor Veh icle Assembly Company recently assembled here its 10,000 th vehicle at the Army base motor pool. Present to wit ness the achievement—which is being given publicity in the United States to show that the soldier is capable of the same assembly line precision as the worker back home—were New Caledonian Island Commander Brig.-General William I. Rose and a number of Ordnance Unit commanders.
The 10,000 vehicles, of which the last was a GMC truck, run from jeeps to tractors, and were assembled in 15 months. v
