The jcollege, after having granted GI WELCOMES INSTANT HOLE COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) -- The U.S. Army has come up with a successful device des- tined to gladden the heart of | every infantryman -- an in- stant foxhole. | To lig a proper foxhole in the past, a soldier needed a pick, shovel and stamina. A team from the U.S, Com- bat Develoy infantry agency put the new development on display Wed- nesday at Fort Benning. The one-pound. foxhole dig- ger comes in two parts--the first part for blasting a small hole two inches in diameter and several inches deep. This is known as a pilot hole. The second part of the de- vice is placed in the pilot hole, a primer is set, and the soldier gets out of the way for about 30 seconds while a cratering explosion digs the foxhole. A demonstration showed the device works best in hard, rocky, clay-type soil or frozen ground. This is because dirt blasted from soft, loam-type soil tends to cave in along the sides and the soldier has to pitch in with a shovel. The ithstant. foxhole varies from 20 to 36 inches deep and about two feet in diameter. |posts in the Kyrenia Mountains |Greeks clashed Wednesday) gnt Command's | *| manning the UN posts would be TROUBLE Van Doos Man | | 20 Peace Posts NICOSIA -- The United Na- tions peace force in Cyprus to- day set up 20 permanent UN where Cypriot Turks and) inight and today.
