waiting for sweeping searchlights to

help OF the lights.
Like World War Barrages.
This method is similar to bar
RACES of the World War, which
sought TO shift with the plane,
whereas fire at individual planes Is
similar to counter-battery fire.
The main objectives of anti-air-
craft fire always have been to keep
bombers high-so as to destroy their
aim-and to break up their forma-
tions-so as to destroy unified ef-
fort.
In these. the new tactic seems to
have been successful; today's Brit
ish communique mentioned the anti
aircraft fire and its effectiveness in
commendatory words and gave 1t
credit for the reported lightness of
the raid.
German sources also spoke of
throwing up similar tent of steel
over Berlin and contended this pre-
vented many English bombers from
reaching the center of the city in
today'S 92-minute raid.

caused for the most part by their
own whanging guns, instead of by
NaI bombs.
Since one of the professed Ger
man reasons for the raids on Lon
don is to bring about a state of
panic and disrupt the normal life
of the city. such a heartening effect
might be important.
Popular mIsapprenensions about
antf-aircraft weapons began in
World War days. With those early
weapons-with which the gunner
could do little but lead" the plane
as If he were shooting at a duck and
then blast away-the average of
hits was low. about 5000 rounds for
each plane brought down.
This led to the belief on the part
of the layman that aircraft
was of little use. With the develop

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The aver
age American company plans to
assure conscripted employees of i'm
mediate reinstatement after their
release from the Army, the Research
Bureau of the American Manage
ment Association said yesterday
A survey of employers disclosed,
the bureau said, that the average
draftee would be reinstated with his
seniority and : company pension
rights maintained, and probably
would receive the same rate of pay.
The bureau declared that some
concerns said they would make
these qualifications: That the en-
ploye must be honorably discharged
from military service and be ment-
ally and physically fit; that no ma
tional or business catastrophe had
occurred, and that the application
be made within a certain period
after discharge from the Army.
The report said that if unions
were willing to allow temporary
substitute workers to have work
cards without becoming union mem
bers, it will be possible to restore the
employees who are called to service
to full seniority and to their original
jobs when they return"
The survey covered a large group
of manufacturing concerns inSllr-
ance companies and financial tnsti-
tutions and reflected policies affect
