Rockefeller Heir Finds Army Tough The mustached youth In dungareet squatted on the ground, adjusted the sling on the Springfield rlMo and said "Yale who never as tough as this." He didn't look like a Yale man or the scion of one of America's wealthiest families, out there under (he warm Georgia sun with some 200 other men learning the lessons of blitz warfaro. N oone would have plckoh him out us an heir to the Rockefeller oil millions, except for the name tag on the dungarees which read, "Kockefollor, \V." Dungarees have a way of making truck drivers and mllltonuiro's look alike. Hut that's all right with Sergeant Winthrop Rockefeller. Ills chi?{ ambition now is to muko the grude in the army's infantry school and win a reserve commission as a second lieutenant. Ho entered last month. The army 1h working overtime to supply the need for officers trained in the methods of modern warfare. And Rockefeller was one of those chosen as likely officer material and brought to the infantry school here for Intensive training. "1 never worked ns hard in Yale or in business us 1'vo worked down here," grinned Rockefeller, whose personnel file lists him as "executive, Socony Vacuum Oil Co." "We're cramming nine months of study into 12 weeks. That doesn't give you much time for play." In all, about 3,600 students are now receiving instruction In the infantry school iand this number will be Increased to 4,000 by January I. Rvory 13 weeks there Is a complete turnover In classes?the army Is turning out not less than 1,100 officers and 7,000 enlisted men annually In the new training program. The officers candidate group comprises one unit In the school. i Some wags have called theso graduates the "90-dny wonders"?but the intensified training is the ony answer, army men say, to the growing need for competent young officers. The men In the infantry are a representative cross-section of American life. As civilians they were executives, businessmen, truck drivers, farmers, lawyers, mechanics and students. For a time Rockefeller was some thing of h curiosity among the officer candidates, but not for long. Now he's accepted as a "regular guy" who doesn't try to trade on his name. He's going up tho hard way. Hut not all those who aspire to become a second Iouio can qualify. Experience hus shown that about 16 per cent of them fail. "You might pass all the field and , class room examinations," ho said ' "and theu have the examiners decide you don't have the personal qualities of leadership necessary to become an officer."
