state social security department.
Instead Of the present monthly
maximum of s32 and average pay
ment of s22. Martin said. he favor
ed a $40 maximum which would
establish the average at $32.

The War
BY J. W. I. MASON
United Press War Expert

The cumulative intensity Of Ger
man aiE raids over Great Britain
during the present week Il assum
ia me ssssss - q ses..l ks,..=sssss==
A fun hhtzkrieg. seeking to De
stroy British resistance and forc'
capitulation would require fai
more sirplanes than yet have beer
used and would necessitats IN,
bombing Of London where British
defenses are directed.
To the present the German
attacks have deliberately
avoided London-the Germans
presumably not rellshing re-
taliation against Berlin. The
purpose OF the present modi-
fled blitxkrieg thus does not
seem to be aimed at quick
annihillation.
II the German high command
decides that the British defenses
are weakening and that mass at
lacks can dominate the air. then
the real blitzkrieg may be ex-
pected. But it is well within the
requirements Of realistic STACEY
for the Germans to withhold a
truly major offensive until they
have experimental further with
their large squadrons. This form
of war Is new and the Germans
themselves must learn BY expert
ence how to plan an attack involv-
ing a thousand or more planes.
There Il no Indication that
the present bombing Ii prellm-
mary 10 an invasion. The
Germans could not assemble
secretly the great fleet essen
tial for transporting an army
10 the British coast, and Brit
ism reconnaissance planes have
reported no such eoneentra-
ton.
Last week the Germans seemed
about to concentrate against con-
voyed channel shipping. Their
latest report of channel operations,
however. states that out of con-
voy of 20 ships only three were
sunk. Following this announce
ment the new intensification of
bombings over Great Britain began
while attacks on conveys have
lessened.
Ii would thus seem that the
Germans have not formulated a
plan for concentration of their
offensive. They change from one
experimental attack to another
and do not continue to operate long
against a single major objective.
Such scattering of effort In
not In accord with past Ger
man war methods. The Ger
man school Of military science,
more than any other, teaches
the advantages Of single OBJ
jective and persistent effort
to follow through, once attack
starts. The German air COM
mand, hitherto, has not fol-
lowed this method against
Britain.
The present concentrated large
scale air attack may represent I
return to basic German methods
but that will depend on the effec,
tiveness of the British defense. For
a second German military teaching
is to halt an offensive when Il
becomes too costly and feel fol
weakness elsewhere.

UNC PICKED FOR
CONFERENCE LEAD
Heel Boxers Boast One Cham.
pion, Three Finalists And
Fast Newcomers

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 10.-R9
With one individual champion, three
finalists in last years tournament
and two promising newcomers in the
lineup, North Cardinals Tarheel
boxers loom as early favorites to
cop the team championship in the
Southern conference tournament
here February 1924.
Nosed out by one point last year
by the surprising Maryland team,
the North Carolinians will pin their
hopes on 120-pound Champion Billy
Winstead; Andy Gennett, 1876; Ed
Dicerson, las; and Red Sanders, 1865.
The latter three gained the finals
in the 1899 tournament here.
Weak last year in the heavier
weights, the Tarheels are well rep
resented this season by two erst-
while footballers, Gates Kimball in
the unlimited division and Mike Bob.
bitt in the 175-pound class. Kim
ball and Bobbitt are newcomers to
the squad but have demonstrated
ability in matches to date.
Tarheel power was demonstrated
Friday night by a 5 IL to 2 IL de-
cision over Maryland's 1899 cham
pions. Maryland previously had
gained a a. draw with powerful
Virginia, dominant. in boxing circles
until withdrawal from the confer
ence.
Last season the North Carolinians
went to the finals Is heavy favor
ties with four boxers surviving pre-
liminary rounds. They needed only
two wins to insure the champion
ship. Maryland, with only three fin
alists, COPIED in every fight, how
ever, while the Tarheels won only
in the 120-pound division.
