Re: "War 'Workout' at K. U."
Dear Dr. Allen:

The enclosed news story appeared in The Kansas
City Times this morning and I read it with much interest.

I have been privileged to instruct our company
of the Kansas State Guard and several squadrons of the
Civil Air Patrol in physical training.

We have no obstacle course -- but I think we
should and intend to see what can be done to accomplish
that objective.

We plan to start swimming instruction for the Guard
this week or next. You commented on my physical condition
as you observed it in Kansas City recently -- all of my
time available for recreation since leaving the University
has been devoted to swimming. I think that accounts for
it -- when coupled with your admonition to "always leave the
table just a little bit hungry."

Not that you need any suggestions, but on the basis
of fair exchange I am enclosing an extra copy of Field
Manual 21-20, which I have been following. If you have
any manuals or outlines of courses,I would greatly appreciate
copies.

I rather suspect, however, that the "Allen System" --
which has no equal -- is being used. Of course, there would
be no manuals in that case.

Best personal regards.

Sincerely,
J
