The cost of these bombs alone, at Sl6.l7 each, would be S150,38l a square mile. Cost of planes to carry the bombs is not included in that fig ure. Any shot down-and some aSsuredly would be-Would add to the cost.

 But It's Not Likely .. Now mustard gas does not have to be put down all at once. It is persistent" gas that will re- main effective from three days to a week, and longer on soft ground or in protected spots where wind and air may not reach it effec- lively.
 % Mustard gas actually is sort of oily spray, lingering where it Is dropped, and blistering all who touch contaminated objects or come within range of it's vapor. Because of its persistence, mus tard gas can be laid down patch at a time, so single enemy air fleet could make repeated trips if it had a nearby base. But cal culate the trips necessary to soak 320 square miles of New York at 465 plane loads a square mile.
 Other gases are less persistent ranked with mustard as one or the "SucceSStul gases, loses it's effectiveness in the air in 10 to Is minutes, so if city is to be wiped out with it, the whole job must be done in two or three minutes.

Gas Attacks On
 Large Cities Of
 Nation NoCood
(By Preston Grover)

w AOT1I1Sb olS, U. S., AsOV, Go, Don't worry so much. There's been a lot of talk about cities be- ing wiped out by gas attacks in the next var, but there's an- other side to that story
 Authorities have computed for us that the cost of gaSsing all the of a city or harassing it to the point of driving the res idents out would be so great in terms of money, equipment and time that it would not be worth while as a military objective.
 Hair-raising pictures have been painted by imaginative souls of the devastation which might be inflicted on a city by an attack of several hundred planes.
 But it must be understood that planes cannot safely spray defend ed cities as they do weevil-infest- ed cotton fields. The job must be done from altitude of 5000 to 12,- 900 feet. Anti-aircraft guns with modern automatic sights are so accurate that low-fying planes might be brought down like ducks over a swamp.
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-11-23
It Could Be Done

True enough a cluster of planes dropping explosive bombs or gas bombs can raise Old Ned in spots. They can damage or temporarily paralyze individual factories or railroad yards. But the figures indicate that no one nation owns enough planes to paralyze large city in a single assault provided there is any worthwhile defense. And any city worth devastating by the enemy likely would be we'll defended by the home troops of a first line nation like the United States.
 Here are some of the factors which support such conclusions:
 Field calculations call for 4,650 mustard gas bombs to provide an effective" concentration of gas on a square mile in open country Our authorities say double this amount would be required in cit ies where many bombs, striking on roofs, would be virtually vast ed. The gas would fritter away

ture to soothe and heal the indamed

TRANSIT FARES
Three Urge Tokens Be

By A. ]. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

Two more citizens associations,
the Conduit Road and Sixteenth
Street Highlands, last night Joined
in the growing demand for the
sale of three street car tokens for
25 cents, against the Public Utili-
ties Commission order fixing mini
mum sales at six for so cents. The
Chevy Chase Citizens Association
protested the requirements in a
letter from its executive commit
tee to the Commission.
The Conduit Road Association
rejected a resolution offered by
. C. A. Franklin, its delegate to the
Federation of Citizens ASsocia-
tions, urging Endorsement OF the
Federation's action. urging re-
hearing on rates and valuation OF
the Capital Transit Company. In
stead the group gave unanimous
Endorsement to Representative
Dirksen's proposed investigation
into the affairs of the transit COM
pany.
AShS SOuOOL DO0Go
The transit company was re-
ouested TO rearrange its special
bus service to Western and Cor
don Junior High Schools, in order
that children may not be COM

resolution by Jesse PaWling, ask
ing the Budget Bureau to recon-
mend tha at impounded motor
funds in the Federal Treasury to
the credit of the District be made
available Immediately for install
lation of street lights needed at
dangerous intersections.
COMMITTEE NAMED
Haviland Hobbs, Arthur Cook
and Miss Mildred Greene, associa-
ton secretary, were named as a
committee to confer with budget
officials.
Sharp criticism was offered by
the Chevy Chase Association, in
its letter of protest to the Utilities
Commission against the fare
raise, in which it was pointed out
an outlay of SO cents is a hard
ship on the small wage Garner
and should be amended.
The association, on motion by
j. R. Manning, vigorously opposed
the action of the transit company
in withdrawing buses from the
Connecticut Avenue line, after re-
ceiving an increase in fares, and
for which there is an urgent de-
mand for increased service instead
of curtailment. The matter was
ordered brought to the attention
Of the Public Utilities Commission.
HEGE TO RETIRE

that in order to get relief from a
most unsatisfactory traffic situa-
tion, it may be necessary for the
