EDITORIAL
INDECISIVE AIR WAR

Pending the expected unfold ing of vast onslaught, Germany is sending from twoscore up to 100 or more planes against the British coast or against Channel shipping each day. While the war continues at this tempo, the Brit ish are able to give an exceed ingly good account of themselv- eS.
 Any figures supplied from either side are subject to con- siderable error. But 1t is plain, nevertheless that British Spitfres and Hurricanes are keeping most of the enemy planes off the coast and are shooting down a satisfactory percentage of them. Their own losses are quite small.
 It would be perilous to req son from this small-scale war in the air and assert that German raids by many hundreds of plan es woud be correspondingly in- effective. Britain's air force is smaller than Germany's and the number of bases from which fight CT ships can take off for de- fense work is very limited. Ii would seem therefore that Brit ain cannot hope to maintain quite so gratifying a record as the di- mensions of the air war increase
 Yet the success British airmer have had over the Channel and the eastern coast lends some en. couragement to the longer pros, pect. It indicates that Great Bri ain has an extremely well-organ. iZed and well-manned aerial dt fense. And it indicates also tha in the air, as on land and on th' water, there is an inherent ne advantage in the defense.
 Meantime British bomber' have been engaged in offensive operations daily for many weeks Their claims must be somewha discounted for airmen tend tC 6Ver-estimate the damage theil bonbardments work. Yet it i certainly true that the British bomber command can reach ob jectives far inside Germany anc lombard them with impunity Germany's aerial defense not only is not as good as Hermann Goer. ing boasted a year ago, but i: not nearly as good as the English
 Only coming weeks will tel how adequate British air de, lenses will be when the whole might of Hitler's air squadrons k thrown against the British coast But the record up to now is higf ly encouraging, recreating the prospect that Britain may stand off attacks for some months. Do. ing this, the British will find ( great many factors commencing to work to their advantage.

his name and address to some
stranger at the scene of the acct
dent, Rosellini said.

Atlanta Negroes
Defeat Bond Issue

Atlanta, Ga. - Because the
City Council of Atlanta sought to
raise millions of dollarsto improve
the local fire department, public
school and hospital facilities, while
cutting benefits to Negro citizens
down to one-eighteenth of the to-
tai, more than 1000 registered
Negro voters, under the leadership
of the local branch of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, defeated the
$6,000,000 bond issue at the polls
here September 4.
The $1,800,000 school bond, of
which $500, 900 was to be allocated
to Negro schools, all of which are
being run in double sessions, was
defeated by approximately S96
votes.
According to T. M. Alexander,
president of the local NAACP
branch, Negro citizens presented
to the City office clear picture
of the needs of their people in
schools, hospitals, and the fire
department, and yet out of the ST.
100000 allocated for schools, which
was to be matched by the Govern
ment to 1, a paltry 100000 was
set aside for Negro schools.

Government To Need Temporary And
Part Time Civilian Medical Officers

The expansion of the army creates
a need for about 900 civilian med
ical Officers in various grades for
temporary and part-time service.
The duties of full-time officers
will be to act as doctors of medi-
cine in active practice in hospitals,
in dispensaries, and in the field.
The duty of part-time officers will
be to report for sick call at fixed
hour each day and to be subject
to emergency call at all times.
The Civil Service Commission in
making this announcement calls
particular attention to othe fact
that part-time officers will be able
to continue their regular practice.
In order that this may be done,
appointments to other part-time
positions will be made of medical
officers in the vicinity of the place
of duty.
