Joe GranbY, actor in the amaz- ing ''Buck Rogers" CBS serial, re- gently had to work in his stocking feet during particularly tricky sound effect. When the show was over, he couldn't find his shoes (probably lost somewhere between the rings of Saturn and the moons of Jupiter-or dissolved into mere house slippers by one of them dis integrators). Anyway, Joe plans to be absent when Author Jack John stone calls for the sound of rip- ping shirt-tail.

7 WO LYNCHED
FOR ATTACK

COLUMBUS, Miss, July Is Il.
N.SD.-Two colored men accused
of two attempted attacks upon a
white woman near here today were
wrested from the hands of police
by a mob of white men and
hanged at a negro church eight
miles south of here.
The victims. identified as Bert
Moore and Dooley Morton. were
arrested today as Deputy Sheriff
Parker Harris and another police
man were taking them to jail at
Aberdeen for safe keeping.
The mob seized the suspects
about four miles north of here and
then drove back through the town
to the negro church, which IS
within about half a mile of the
attempted attacks.

prise air raid on his capital, per.
haps without even declaration OF
war. This view is growing.
Others think that for the sake
of neutral opinion the air knock
out will be delayed until the army
provides an excuse or one may be
manufactured.
Speed Their Ally
All agree that the air Knockout
will inevitably be employed. The
great Marshal Foch exclaimed:
"The military mind always
imagineS that the next war will
be on the same lines as the last.
That has never been the case
and never will be. POtentialitieS
of air attack on a large scale
are almost incalculable. but it
is clear that such attack, owing
to its crushing moral effect on
a nation. may impress public
opinion to the point of diSarm-
ing the government and thus
become decisive"
Venerable Marshal Petain be-
lieves the air knockout will come
first and probably be the declara-
ton of war.
"The air menace" he records.
will be released instantaneOusly
and at its maximum intensity.
From the very instant Of war
aircraft can attack any single
point Of the enemy's country;
moreover they cannot be him
dered with any degree of GER
tainty from reaching their OBJ
jective. Manned by incOnSider-
able UrewS of men inspired by
daun less courage, ever ready
and eager for instant action,
their menace is very real. The
phenomenal speed of aircraft
permits them to pass like .
thunderboIt from one country
to another and to act every"
where simultaneously"
From the British side, Gen.
Groves and Gen. j. F. C. Fuller
emphasize the inevitability of the
air Knockout. Capt. ReeS jenkins,
declares:
1--WE must start with the as
sumption that the whole pOpu-
latiOn of adjacent belligerent
states can and probably will be
exposed to the full severity Of
aerial attack"
Major c.. c. Turner says:
"A civilian population re-
duced to panic would give the
victory to the enemy more
speedily than battles by land or
sea-" '' ''-'
Thus French, German and Brit
ish experts agree that in the next
war the air knockout against the
civilian population, which means
against the women and children,
will be decisive factor.
! What will be it's effect?
